Panetta: Bigger defense cuts would 'weaken' US
Wednesday - 8/17/2011, 3:15am EDT
By ROBERT BURNS
AP National Security Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - Large new cuts in defense spending would "terribly weaken" U.S. national security, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Tuesday as he and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton used a rare joint interview to argue that the nation cannot afford to keep playing partisan chicken with its finances.
Panetta expressed optimism about progress by American-led forces against the Taliban in Afghanistan and by NATO forces in support of anti-government rebels in Libya. He cited those conflicts as examples of why severe cuts to spending on defense and diplomacy would be dangerous.
Panetta said the Pentagon is prepared to make $350 billion in cuts over the next 10 years, as agreed by Congress. But he warned of dangers to the national defense if bigger reductions are required.
The recent deficit compromise reached between the White House and Congress set up a special bipartisan committee to draft legislation to find more government cuts. If the committee cannot agree on a deficit-reduction plan by year's end or if Congress rejects its proposal, it would trigger some $500 billion in additional reductions in projected national security spending.
"This kind of massive cut across the board, which would literally double the number of cuts that we're confronting, that would have devastating effects on our national defense; it would have devastating effects on certainly the State Department," Panetta said.
Clinton said Americans should understand that in addition to preserving military strength, it is in the nation's security interests to maintain the State Department's role in diplomacy and development. She suggested that the political stalemate over spending cuts has put that in jeopardy.
"It does cast a pall over our ability to project the kind of security interests that are in America's interests," she said. "This is not about the Defense Department or the State Department. ... This is about the United States of America. And we need to have a responsible conversation about how we are going to prepare ourselves for the future."
Clinton acknowledged that it is harder to defend the State Department budget than military spending.
"It's a harder case because I think there's a lot of both misunderstanding and rejection of the work that is done by the State Department," she said.
She and Panetta appeared together at National Defense University in an interview conducted by Frank Sesno, director of the School of Media and Public Affairs at George Washington University. Several members of the audience, which included military and civilian officials, also posed questions.
In deploring a fresh wave of violence in Iraq that killed at least 70 people Monday, Clinton also suggested that the Iraqi government is not doing all it can to prevent terrorist acts.
"The Iraqis themselves have more capacity than they did have, but they've got to exercise it," she said. "And we spend a lot of time pushing our friends in the Iraqi government to make decisions, like naming a defense minister and an interior minister, so that they can be better organized to deal with what are the ongoing threats."
Panetta was adamant that severe new budget cuts would undercut the nation's role in the world.
"Very simply, it would result in hollowing out the force," he said, alluding to reductions made in the aftermath of the Vietnam War that left Army units undermanned and ill-equipped. "It would terribly weaken our ability to respond to the threats in the world. But, more importantly, it would break faith with the troops and with their families. And a volunteer army is absolutely essential to our national defense."
Panetta was asked about news reports that the Pentagon was considering reducing military retirement benefits, which, along with military health costs, have ballooned in recent years.
Though those payments have been considered sacrosanct — part of the bargain the nation makes with those who protect it — the economic and debt crises have put those issues squarely in the crosshairs.
A private sector advisory panel last month drafted a plan to eliminate the current system under which those who retire with 20 years of service get immediate, lifetime payments of some 50 percent of their salaries, ramping up to 87.5 percent for 35 years of service. Those with less than 20 years get nothing.
The advisory panel found that 83 percent of people who have served get nothing, and that for this budget year the government contribution to military retirement benefits will be $46 billion.
Though the report is not complete and it is non-binding at any rate, the board recommended the system be scrapped and replaced with a 401K-type defined contribution plan, grandfathering in the disabled and retirees.
"It's the kind of thing you have to consider," Panetta said. He quickly added that it must have a grandfather clause so the government does not "break faith" with the military force.

It is *completely* logical. The reason VPN works is because your are reaching your VPN endpoint via the transit connection. The VPN endpoint node was on a network that either had no peering with Netflix or the peering point was not overloaded.
Peering exchanges traffic between two networks. Your VPN host would have to be inside the Netflix network to experience the same issues as raw streaming.,
Comcast was NOT throttling. Cogent didn't not purchase enough bandwidth from Comcast via the peering port to handle all the traffic. Not only that, but Cogent didn't want to purchase more bandwidth because Cogent enjoys mainly settlement-free peering. Cogent *admitted* that *they* were throttling. They probably wished they had never taken on Netflix as a customer.
People, please learn how peering and the peering fee structure works before asking the FCC to stomp around and change the Internet!

Ummmmmmm.... No. Peering costs. It is NOT true that ISP charges customers only. Well, unless you count Netflix and others as customers, in which case, yes, Netflix is charged.
I know you stated that you are a network admin, but apparently you don't know that the *sender* pays in a peering agreement. It has been this way for a long, long time.
Now it is true that some content providers did cut deals in the early days. For example, it was reported years ago that Yahoo! only payed for half of their transit costs because they built out their own national network and peered with large ISP's. AOL did something similar. But, traditionally, peering costs money. That is why there is something called "settlement-free peering" where both sides can all it "even" and skip paying each other. I know you *think* that the other side should pay, but that is not the reality. It is the way it is. You can argue for a new model, but you would be radically changing the fee model for the Internet.
Either way, this has NOTHING to do with Net Neurality!

"Netflix has not asked for a dime of ISP money to peer"...
The caching box from Netflix requires a connection greater than 1Gb/s. For a large ISP, the caching box may or not make sense. It just depends on the diversity and size of the customer base. Peering may be the logical solution in a large city where there is a nice meet me room.
My main point is that Netflix is not the innocent party. Netflix tried to con their customers into getting the government to help them. They thought they could use it as leverage in negotiation. Now they state that they didn't really want the FCC to go as far as Title II. Oops.

Peering is a good thing. Peering can *save* money for the content producer. Stop talking about stuff you do not understand. Netflix issues are not Net Neutrality issues. Netflix has said that their bandwidth costs are tiny compared to what they pay to the studios.

Spoken like a person that has no idea how peering works and how it is payed for. There are two ways to deliver a packet: transit or peering. With transit you don't care how a packets routes. You are also using an ISP to deliver packets on networks they do not own. So you are paying for bandwidth to your box and the bandwidth that leaves their network. Peering is priced based on the idea that you are paying the peering network to deliver your packet in their network. You pay each network you peer with a fee to deliver the packets. If two networks are peering and both networks are sending about the same amount of data to each other then they call it a wash and setup a settlement-free agreement. This is how the Internet always works. Netflix is not being treated differently.
Where Netflix messed up is that they used other companies to setup peering. They trusted Cogent to peer with ISP's. I like Cogent, but the problem with Cogent is that they pride themselves in settlement-free peering. They peer with everyone and they don't pay for transit. When they took on Netflix as a customer, their peering points were not balanced anymore. The ISP's told them they were not settlement-free, but Cogent didn't want pay. The also didn't want to upgrade the peering points because it would only make things worse for them.
Netflix took on peering themselves and they will be better off.
Netflix is NOT an example of Net Neutrality violations! Stop using them as the poster child of Net Neutrality. Please people, stop it!

VDPAU and KDE 4.8 compositing = slow

Re: VDPAU and KDE 4.8 compositing = slow
OK, with SMPlayer the problem is gone. The screen is still flashing green when switching to/from fullscreen, but it's very short and the desktop doesn't freeze.
I just noticed something however. The stuttering is not completely gone, but is directly related to the video's FPS. If I watch a 60FPS video, everything is smooth. If I watch a 30FPS video, the desktop is stuttering a bit. If I watch a 25FPS or 23.9FPS video (the majority of movies), then the desktop stutters even more. Not as bad as without the "queuetime" options set to 0 though.
And that only fixes mplayer. Which isn't really needed at all, because even with VDPAU and queuetime set to 0, Xv output is still much, much better, always resulting in a perfectly smooth video (VDPAU introduces a slight stutter/framedrops every two seconds or so.) The real problem with the VDPAU+composite slowness bug is Adobe Flash. It's useless right now.
I should mention that this is my first NVidia graphics card. I upgraded from a Radeon 4870 and was hoping to see the VDPAU support. I'm somewhat disappointed that it's not useful on a modern Linux desktop.

Depends on what is causing them, too........
If you are talking about real metal that is rusting out, you'll eventually need to replace the shower. And figure out what cause the rust to occur to prevent it from happening again.
If your talking about orange water stains, then baking soda works for me.
I was going to suggest baking soda also. It gets rid of rust stains really well. :)

Terrence Parker - Life On The Back 9 review
25th Feb 2014 | 10:00
The master of inspirational house returns returns with his first LP in 16 years
Legendary Detroit house producer Terrence Parker unveils his first solo album for 16 years with Life On The Back 9.
Following on from 1997's Detroit After Dark, the veteran DJ with over 25 years in the industry continues to find a colourful blend of House, Disco, Soul and Deep Trance on Life On The Back 9.
The most obvious element of the album though, is the overwhelmingly positive and uplifting spirit of the record as a whole. Indeed, the title even stems from an analogy which compares life to a game of golf, where you can turn the game around in the final nine holes - a fitting name for an album drenched with such a life-affirming attitude.
Lush keys, classic chords, warm synths, smooth melodies, laidback grooves and big vocal performances all feature heavily as Parker creates a wholly welcoming and easy atmosphere throughout.
It is that ability to add soul and emotion to Dance music that makes Terrence Parker the undisputed bastion of inspirational House music, a term that has never made more sense than it does when used to describe Life On The Back 9.

Any suggestions? Has anyone tried the Comptac shirt tucker and if so, how is it? Thanks. pntblnk01-16-2010, 12:13Check out the Crossbreed line. I have the minituck and the microclip for mine and love it. It took about 4-5 days to break each of them in and now I don't even notice them. I have the crimson trace on mine and it fits like a glove. I was so impressed I ordered another microclip for my P380! Great folks to deal with also. http://www.crossbreedholsters.com/Portals/0/Images/MicroClip2.jpg http://www.crossbreedholsters.com/Portals/0/Images/MT_Large.jpg wagonm01-16-2010, 13:18I am a leather person, I have used and liked the Mitch Rosen Clipper (not tuckable), now I'm using a HBE Pro-TL which is tuckable. Both are thin, light, comfy and high quality. The HBE Pro-TL has ended my "journey" for IWB, and for OWB, I'm all set with the Alessi Belt-Slide :supergrin: ... so my holster-shopping "fun" for my PM9 has come to an end... :cool: LOTS of good feedback on the comfort of Crossbreed / Comptec so you won;t go wrong with them, I just haven't considered non-leather rigs. I also have used Tucker "Cover Up Plus", very nice holster but personally I found the leather is too thick for small gun like PM9, I think it is more appropriate for large guns, however, LOTS of praise on his new line "Silent Thunder", you may want to take a look. Good luck. Burns01-16-2010, 22:37Check out the Crossbreed line. I have the minituck and the microclip for mine and love it. It took about 4-5 days to break each of them in and now I don't even notice them. I have the crimson trace on mine and it fits like a glove. I was so impressed I ordered another microclip for my P380! Great folks to deal with also. I'm eager to hear from you on how the mini compares to the micro. Does the micro support the gun just as well? I would think that, since it has less mass, it would be more comfortable as long as the gun doesn't move around too much more because of the single clip. Is there any disadvantage? Which do you like better and why? I'm interested in one of them (but just one, not both) for my PM9 so I look forward to your input. Burns pntblnk01-16-2010, 23:38I have had them both for a couple of weeks now and find myself grabbing the micro if I am just running out for a short trip because it is so easy to get off / on. I grab the mini if going out for more than ~hour. Both are very comfortable, but I would give the nod to the mini as the best overall comfort. The micro supports the gun well but the lack of material actual takes away from the comfort factor. The mini seems to balance the bulk of the gun better. That said, the micro is a breeze to put on / take off where the mini takes a little bit of work to get situated. (something I'm sure will just get easier with time / practice) jsm19001-17-2010, 04:15I use the Comp Tac C-tac holster and really like it. Adds almost no weight, is comfortable once positioned right, and is tuckable. Still has the two clip design so it does not move once on, and no leather backing etc. to get in the way of the draw. Since no one has said it yet, the first step is a good quality gun belt, even a PM9 will shift with a thin belt. I thought a WM work belt was good until I bought my first gun belt. paddle00701-17-2010, 10:57For me the M-Tac with C clips takes the prize. I'm an busy auto-tech and the Mtac stays put and the C clips hide well. I tried the Crossbreed but found the clips to obvious. Tried the Two O'Clock and it moves too much for me. My attire is work pants with a tucked in shirt so concealing is a little tough. Consider climbing under hoods and rolling around on a creaper or standing under a vehicle on a lift and raising both arms as high as they will go. M-Tac for me but maybe your circumstances allow for a lighter rig. peterj01-17-2010, 15:51Wagonm, What was the turnaround time on the HBE?

Call him up, very helpful. I rang him before placing the order (just last December), he quoted me a standard leadtime of 3~4 weeks, and I got mine on time as quoted. :supergrin: Here's some pix I posted on KahrTalk for your ref.

Pepsi-Cola gets P1B term loan from Metrobank
popular .
Beverage-maker Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines Inc. (PCPPI) has tapped a P1-billion term loan from Metropolitan Bank and Trust Co. to fund capital spending for this year.
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange on Wednesday, Pepsi chief finance officer Imran Moid said: "This loan further affirms the confidence of a major Philippine bank, one of the largest in the country, in the strong outlook/prospects, performance and financial stability of PCPPI."
The loan facility from Metrobank will have a seven-year tenor, said Jika Dalupan, head of investor relations at PCPPI.
Moid said 2012 was a strong year for PCPPI, which posted a double-digit revenue growth and nearly triple profit growth for the period.
"We have carried the momentum in 2013 and expect a good year supported by favorable economic macro (economic fundamentals) and elections," Moid said.
Dalupan said the loan proceeds would be used for this year's requirements but added that PCPPI was expected to benefit from such investments—such as in machinery and glass bottles—in the coming years.
"Suffice to say that it is meant to support our growth momentum, to cover increase in manufacturing capacity and distribution assets," Dalupan said.—Doris C. Dumlao

Side Tables
The term 'side table' encompasses a whole selection of varied table options.
The best suited type of table that will enhance your living space will depend on the purpose and positioning in the home. The nest of table set is a great choice if you are short on space and require a small side table for a lounge or dining room. A nest of tables is a great idea, as it gives you the option of 3 different sized tables at any given point whilst also benefitting from being neatly tucked away for compact storage when not in use. Console tables are also a fabulous addition to your home as this type of side table is the perfect addition to a dining room or hallway, providing well placed functionality for the storage of crockery and table linens, as well as providing surface space to display flowers, photo frames or ornaments.
Side tables are available in a variety of different sizes and materials depending on the functionality required and the look you're trying to achieve.
Many people opt for a solid wood side table made from oak or pine as the hardwearing properties of these materials mean that the table will be a quality investment in your home.

Individuals, institutions honoured for acts of conservation
When S. Gunasekar arrived as headmaster, the Government Kallar Middle School in G. Thummalapatti in Dindigul was in a bad shape. Sewage would accumulate on the school ground and during the monsoon, rain water would stagnate. There was no compound wall and anti-social elements frequented the campus after school hours.
But now, all that has changed thanks to Mr. Gunasekar's efforts.
"From 2008, with financial assistance from residents, alumni and the PTA, we managed to transform the school. A compound wall was raised, the ground was levelled and at least 50 trees now provide shade," said the proud principal, who won an award from the State government for protecting and managing the environment.
He received the award from Minister M. C. Sampath at a function organised on Tuesday by the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board and the Department of Environment as part of Environment Day celebrations.
A total of 10 environment awards were presented to individuals and institutions and 10 awards for plastic awareness to self-help groups, villages and schools.

Radha Balasubramanian, a teacher of PSBB School on Thirumalai Pillai Road, who won an award under the individual category, said she has been making bags out of old newspapers and giving them to a nearby stationery shop and a laundry.
"As soon as the newspapers pile up, my daughters and I make the bags and give them to the shops. We may not be able to make a huge number of such bags but each of them means one less plastic bag given by the shop," she said.
This teacher is also known for standing in the rain during Deepavali holding placards in T. Nagar's Jeeva Park, asking walkers and joggers not to burst crackers.
"People have called me mad. But I don't mind it as I believe that simple thoughts lead to great changes," she said.
Restoring reefs
In the institution category, the Suganthi Devadasan Kadal Saar Aaraichi Niruvanam in Tuticorin won the first prize. J.K. Patterson Edward, director of the institution, said that from 1998, a four-sq-km area of coral reefs had been restored.
"We place some artificial surface on the sea floor and then transplant coral fragments and let it develop. We have been working with funds from the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Forest Department and Gulf of Mannar Biosphere Trust," he said.
Non-governmental organisation Sevalaya won an award for its efforts in segregating waste generated on its campus and practising organic farming in its fields and also providing training to local farmers.
Environment and Forests secretary Mohan Verghese Chunkath, TNPCB chairman D. Karthikeyan, State Environmental Impact Assessment Authority chairman V. Thangavelu, TNPCB Member Secretary S. Balaji and Director of Environment H. Mallesappa were present on the occasion.

U.S. data on jobless show dire situation
Many not counted in 'official' tallies
With the jobless rate hovering around 11.5 percent in California and inching above the 10 percent mark in San Diego County, the specter of unemployment is more threatening than it has been in decades.
But the official jobless rate tells only half the story.
Dig deeper and you'll find that one out of five Californians who want to work cannot find full-time jobs — nearly twice the official unemployment rate.
"The official rate is just the tip of the iceberg," said Murtaza Baxamusa, research and policy director with San Diego's Center on Policy Initiatives. "There are a lot of part-timers in this city who cannot find full-time work. And there are some people who have gotten discouraged from looking for a job at all."
The official unemployment rate does not include people who haven't looked for a job in the past four weeks. It also does not count people who are working part time because they can't find a full-time job.
Those people are tracked in what's called the U-6 unemployment rate maintained by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which paints a darker picture of the nation's job market.
As with the official unemployment rate, the U-6 rate has been climbing steadily since the recession began in December 2007. It crossed the 10 percent mark in June 2008 and hit 16.5 percent last month, compared with the official rate of 9.5 percent.
In California, the U-6 rate has nearly doubled in the past three years, jumping from 9.1 percent in 2006 to 17.7 percent in the 12 months ended in June. And the figure has continued to worsen. This spring, the U-6 rate in California averaged 20.3 percent, according to a New York Times review of Census Bureau data covering April and May.
The vast majority of people included in the U-6 rate are part-timers who cannot find full-time jobs because of "economic reasons" rather than personal preference. In California, such part-timers constitute 7 percent of the work force, compared with 3.7 percent when the recession began.
Although the part-timers are working, they sometimes bring in less money than job seekers who are receiving unemployment.
Take, for example, Maria Delgado, an in-home nurse in Encanto. Because of budget cutbacks at the state-run In-Home Supportive Services program, Delgado works only 47.9 hours a month, or an average of about 1.5 hours a day, earning $9.50 per hour — just $1.50 above California's minimum wage.
That comes to $455 per month. In comparison, the maximum unemployment benefit in California is $450 per week, although it's far less for workers at Delgado's wage level.
Until recently, Delgado had been supplementing her income by working part time for a neighborhood health association, but she has been laid off indefinitely from that job.
"They told me they might bring me back, but for now I'm officially on vacation until further notice," she said.
Delgado, a divorcee with two children and an ailing mother to care for, said she sends out job applications every day but so far has found no takers. "Everybody's cutting back," she said. Until she can find a full-time job, she's back living with her mother.

Summer is synonymous with bright colours. But this season, white rules the style scene for women
All women out there, what's hot in your wardrobe this summer? Prints and pinks are passé these days. Summer and the spectrum are inseparable, but at the other end, it's white that has become the new bright! Along with neon and fluorescent that never go out of vogue, solid whites and flower power are the in things. "White is classy like black and can be teamed up with any colour and style," vouches Mumbai-based fashion stylist Surbhi Gupta. "They are light on the body and bright on the eye. And moreover, whites are best heat reflectors."
White that made a prominent appearance on the ramp shows of spring/summer collections is very much available on the shelves too. They come in a range of plain and printed varieties. "White gives a pleasant look and once you wear it, you feel fresh," points out, Ahalya, at Ahalya's Boutique on Gokhale Road. "Floral prints and embroidered designs on white backgrounds are moving well among Madurai women."
Be it a simple looking salwar that you wear to work or the grand Anarkali that you sport at parties and weddings, whites come handy in all occasions. Party wear for women this season, includes roomy airy skirts, frilled long salwars with empire waistline and spaghetti tops with overcoats. And all these have a hint of white!
A range of ethnic handlooms with thread work, lace embroidery, netted cotton and gauze are the other highlights of the season.
In solid whites, check out the classic chikankari chudidars. Whereas in the printed ones, black-and-white checks, polka dots, block prints and floral motifs are the choices.
Bharathi Venkatesan, a young IT professional, says, "I am a lover of white but they are better for party wear as it would be difficult maintaining the sheen in everyday-wear. Even a small stain would ruin the dress."
True, white is often restricted to occasion wear. But the trend now is to wear them casually and daily. An exclusive collection of work wear in white is up on display at the Max store in Vishaal Mall. "All the new arrivals are white base with colourful prints and they have been fast moving off the shelves," says a salesperson at the store.
"Most people pick up the ones with long sleeves. The sleeveless varieties are hardly bought by Madurai women except for a few young girls who opt for them."
Stylist Surbhi points out how white is being fancied by more young women these days. "Whites are often thought to give a matured look. But they come in whimsical packages nowadays.
Playful prints and dramatic silhouettes make up for the oldie's colour. And young ladies are going for it."
If you are still hesitant of opting white for office, simply go for the summer regulars. Orange, pink, yellow and blue never go wrong.
"Cotton is the fabric for the season and subtle embroidery with happy colours is always a hit combination," says Sujatha, at Uttara Boutique on Bypass Road.
The other trending thing is the summer skirt, that's back in all lengths and shapes. From the regular A-lines and umbrella-cuts to the quirky fish-cuts and billowing bow-cuts, skirts are no doubt stylish! Disha, a web consultant, says, "Skirts are easy wear. They make you look young and they are versatile. Apart from the tees that are regular combos, even longish kurtas and short kurtis are being worn upon skirts."
And there is no dearth of silhouettes this summer. Other than the flowy options, there are also skin hugging knit chudithars and jeggings. They come in plain and printed whites, fuchsia, pink and turquoise. "Knits are always a hit among youth. They are easily washable and wearable," says Payal, a city-based fashion design student. "Jeggings are cool combos of jeans and leggings. And they are now available in knitted cloth too. They can be teamed with t-shirts or tunics."
So, have you got your white for the season? Rummage through the stores and you may find a classic LWD (Little White Dress)!

FORTWORTH-- Coming soon to the Coyote Drive-In Theatre in Fort Worth: Jimmy Buffett.
He'll put on a full show with his band Thursday night at the year-old drive-in on the banks of the Trinity across from downtown.
Crews were busy Tuesday erecting the stage and lighting towers. It will be an intimate concert for only 1,100 ticket holders -- very lucky parrotheads.
But the show will bebeamed to 87 drive-ins across the country, where it will reach tens of thousands of fans. Producer Brandt Wood is a co-owner of the Coyote. He says he's happy with 20,000 pre-sold tickets, because people aren't used to buying advance tickets for a drive-in. Wood expects much larger crowds at those other theatres.
'Playing to 87 venues. Putting Fort Worth front and center in the entertainment world that night,' said Wood. 'Making history. Never been done.'
Only a few hundred drive-in theatres remain. Many are struggling. But those thathave converted from film to digital now have an opportunity to generate new business.
'We've built this network. Built this model. We want to do more shows down the road in this thing we call 'the drive-in music series.'' said Wood.
Tickets for the Fort Worth performance sold out in only 10 seconds. Wood says it was Jimmy Buffett who first brought up the idea of playing at a drive-in. Now it's a way for the singer to reach parrotheads in far flung latitudes -- in remote towns where drive-in theatres are still a big part of life.

Automatic bank deduction missed
A few weeks ago we received a notice from the Snohomish County Treasurer's Office that we had not paid our taxes due last April and a fine of $642.97, plus the full year's tax was due.
I called the treasurer's office and after several attempts to speak with a live person, asked how could this be since we always paid by bank auto pay. I was told that the auto pay system was discontinued last March and a notice was sent with the tax notices. Neither my wife nor I had any recollection of such a notice. No explanation. Just, this is what you owe. It's hard to imagine why the treasurer's office would wait from March to November to notify us.
Now why would such a simple, safe, efficient system be discontinued? In our case, it resulted in a $624.90 contribution to the county treasury (along with the full one year tax amount, which was proper.) Maybe there's a simple answer.
Are there any others out there who have had a similar problem?

I have been having some fun, not as much as i like... How about you sexy? Been getting that hot ass fucked a lot by your gorgeous wife ?
TY for the invite darling * deep wet kisses*
hi honey ... thx for your comment ... kisses
Love your profile
thx for your nice offer ... kisses
Thank you for adding me sexy !!!
Thanks for being my new gurlfriend and being such a sexy cuntboy.
What a lucky couple to be able to endulge in the sissy lifestyle. Look forward to some videos.
Thanks for the add, great profile.
oki, i hope one day we will do this
hi there
thx for your comment ... would also like vera, but that you were allowed only, if you fuck with vera and with me
it would not be a problem pissing and cumming over your face. but then again if we thought you would enjoy it then we would be doing both over your cock instead. cum over your stiff little cock then wash it off with a good piss. then it would be clean time.
about the comment you left on our begging video. both of you would be sucking hard on each others cocks... maybe you two would have lots of lubricant put on your cocks then frotted then you both clean each others cocks.. just thinking maybe give you a little strap on punishment as you were slirping some cum.
your comment you left on our latest offering made us think... the 69 would be a test of how loyal you two would be. both sucking so eargerly on each others cocks, both cocks leaking precum, both cocks throbbing with each lick until they shot their spunk...
a new offering is now on our profile.. listen to the words... if you had been with us you would have had to lick all that cum up.. if you were the one being punished then hubby would have been licking your cock clean. if you had both made that mess then i could see you both would have been doing a 69 on each other.... one more question? do you think your cock would have stayed hard.
about the comment you left on the latest upload.. always in control... thats something you should never ever forget. another thing you are right about is the telling off.. you would get some serious punishment if you were to shoot that filthy mess too early, especially if you had not been allowed to shoot.
and whilst here i will say, you will not be licking any swollen clit. and for your presumption that you would you would be having some cum pumped into your cum bucket mouth..
thank you for the profile comment.. ooh we would be texting so much to say get round here now you little slut. the panties would be laid out for you ready for you to wear. we would make you wear them and some stockings before we used your sissy cock. making you cum then tellg you to clean your self up. then it would be our time to fuck.. guess what.. you have to get that tongue of yours busy. yes little slut boy. time to lick nice and clean.
uploading another later... some begging in it.. obviously the begging is nothing to what you would be doing..
i should not be saying thank you for the comment on our edging cock video... but i will.
gotta say you really need to be used for pleasure. fuck if you were here you would be seriously used. all of it for our pleasure. we always like reading your submissive words. because at the end of the day you are really here to serve someone like us. trouble is you are not here.. you can thank your lucky stars that you are not! your cock would be used so much. thats only the start. you would be performing lots of clean ups..
here to say to we have uploaded a new video. hoping it will be on by the time you visit. i want you to imagine its you. only thing is you would have had more denial..
just calling by to see what my little slut boy is up to and i see you have put the topless handjob in your favourates.. thinking if that were you you would have to clean yourself up after you had cum.
Love your sexy pictures, thanks for the friendship x
thank you cuntboy for the appropriate words you left on our (needing erect cock outdoors) video. you are a loyal slave. it would please so much to gave you your commands. seems like you are not only a cock sucker but a cum cleaner.
very pleasing comment you left on our outside hj video. we have uploaded a new one, although its waiting for conversion. no mess to clean up in that one. you were needed in the new video to make some mess yourself. read the descrition before watching it.
just love your pics
here again. we have a new video on, it would be good to here your thoughts on it.
you are pleasing so very much with your comments...
ooh two guys sucking each others cocks in that 69 position... both cumming in each others mouths... that would be insisted on... would be hot to have an audience as strangers walked by... we have another video on now. stop by to take a look. your words are alway taken in and appreciated as to what thought you have.
thank you for the profile comment.. not been here for a week or so. yes the weather is great, today being the hottest.. so you were on your were you. i reckon we would have tied your hands and sorted your cock out... we made the most of the sun today. we went out for an outdoors handjob. the video is waiting for conversion at the moment. would have loved you to have been there to help clean the mess up for us.
hey you stopped by our mutual masturbation video to leave your thoughts... your job would definately be tha cleaning up. you would have to do a good job with that tongue.. leaving any of that mess would be very disapointing
saying hello keeping in Touch ~

Investment in research and development by Connecticut companies dropped 2 percent in 2009, mirroring a troubling national trend and hindering future state economic growth.
"In and of itself, the number may not seem like a big deal; but as a posterchild for the future of Connecticut, it is a big red flag," said Fred Carstensen, director of the Connecticut Center for Economic Analysis. "This is a little piece of data that is screaming for attention."
Eight of the 10 major companies in Connecticut reduced their R&D spending in 2009, dropping the total from $6.73 billion to $6.59 billion over one year, according to a recently released report by Booz & Company, a consulting firm that listed R&D spending by the top 1,000 global companies. The Connecticut figures represent total spending worldwide by companies headquartered in this state, not necessarily R&D spending inside Connecticut.
Total spending by the 1,000 companies worldwide dropped 3.5 percent, the first decrease in the 13-year history of the Booz study. The troubling figures were reflected in Connecticut's number, which had shown R&D spending increasing steadily since 2004.
Even though the compound annual growth rate in R&D spending in Connecticut rose 2.7 percent over the previous five years, that's still less than inflation, Carstensen said, meaning R&D decreased steadily over the past half decade at least.
The real issue arises in the future, Carstensen said, because today's R&D becomes the technology companies build upon five to 10 years from now. With less R&D, the state's industries become less competitive over time.
"If you thought this recession would be over quickly, this data shows how deep and long-term this recession really is," Carstensen said.
Matthew Nemerson, president and CEO of the Connecticut Technology Council, said he isn't shocked by the dip in R&D spending by corporate giants considering the poor economy. Of greater concern to him is the traditional lack of punch in Connecticut from the public sector.
Connecticut has always been in the top five states in terms of private per capita R&D spending, but that hasn't been the case from public sector investment, Nemerson said.
According to a recent report by the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, Connecticut ranked 37th in the U.S. in non-industry investment in research and development, with federal, state, university and nonprofit R&D funds only accounting for 0.37 percent of the state's total GDP.
Connecticut ranked fifth in the U.S. in industry R&D investment, which made up 5.2 percent of state GDP.
"On an immediate basis, we must be equally as strong on the university R&D side," Nemerson said.
Nemerson said Connecticut's larger research schools — including Yale University, University of Connecticut and Wesleyan University — aren't attracting the big federal government research grants because they don't have big enough material labs or big expensive centers that attract that money.
Additionally, while Yale and UConn might be strong in bioscience research, they aren't as well-equipped for bigger money-making research areas like theoretical physics.
On the private sector side, Nemerson said the big concern is making sure R&D investment dollars by Connecticut-based companies stay in Connecticut.
Increasingly, he said, large, global corporations are looking at overseas operations to put those investment dollars to work. And in many cases R&D dollars follow manufacturing jobs, which have been slowly exiting the state for years.
Among the Connecticut companies that cut R&D spending last year was United Technologies Corp. The the diversified Hartford manufacturer saw its R&D funding drop 14 percent to $1.6 billion. In its 2009 annual report, the company said the decrease was a result of cost reductions, lower requirements on key development programs, and lower expenditures at two of its Connecticut subsidiaries — East Hartford-based Pratt & Whitney and Hamilton Sundstrand in Windsor Locks.
In a prepared statement UTC said it expects company-funded R&D to be up about $225 million, or more than 14 percent, in 2010 compared to 2009.
Fairfield's General Electric and Cheshire's Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. were the only two Connecticut companies to increase their R&D spending in 2009, according to the Booz report. Alexion — the state's only pharmaceutical company in the report — increased R&D by 23.6 percent to $81.9 million in 2009 after scaling back from 2007 to 2008.
GE was the main reason Connecticut's overall R&D spending didn't plummet. The manufacturing and financial services conglomerate accounts for half of all R&D spending by Connecticut companies and increased 8.5 percent to $3.3 billion in 2009.
"We believe a strong commitment to innovation is fundamental to our company's future," said Todd Alhart, GE Global Research spokesman.
The Fairfield giant has its $250-million Healthymagination Fund and its $200-million Ecomagination Challenge designed to bolster innovation in the areas of environment, energy and health care. GE also opened several national and international research centers in the past few years, such as the $100-million Advanced Manufacturing & Software Technology Center that opened in May in Michigan.
Despite the recession, GE wants to continue its aggressive R&D push because the company must innovate to remain at the forefront of its industries now and over the long-term, Alhart said.
Praxair, the Danbury-based supplier of industrial gas, spent $74 million on R&D in 2009, compared to $97 million a year earlier, a decline of 31 percent.
Praxair spokesman Nigel Muir, said the reduction was related to the company discontinuing product development in one of its "non-core" businesses, which he declined to disclose. Praxair also made layoffs in its primary R&D hub in Buffalo, N.Y., which also cut into funding.
Muir said the company has boosted its R&D investments this year and will likely finish the end of 2010 ahead of last year's pace.
Even so, only a very small portion of Praxair's R&D investments are actually spent in Connecticut, Muir added.
To spur R&D investment, Carstensen and a handful of state legislators proposed letting companies cash in their R&D tax credits to build new facilities in Connecticut. With more than $1 billion in unused tax credits among the various industries, the Connecticut Center for Economic Analysis estimates the proposal would result in 4 million square feet of new facilities and 40,000 new jobs in the state.
