USAF Reserves - promoted to Captain February 13, 1950; recalled to active duty February 26th 1951 - 372nd Bomb Squadron; 307th Bomb Wing; assigned to Okinawa October 1st 1952.
Capt. Arthur Heise was the Aircraft Commander of a B-29 Bomber flying out of Kadina AFB in Okinawa during the Korean War. On 10 January 1953, he was on a bombing mission over the Anju Marshaling Yard, as part of "Stardust" flight--Art's plane was Stardust 39--when his B-29 (Aircraft Number 44-61802) was hit by enemy fire from "MIGs" immediately prior to bombs away (2038 hours). Immediately following bombs away and while still under attack the aircraft started losing altitude. A "Mayday" call was received from the aircraft at 2048 hours. At 2053 hours the aircraft commander reported "Hit Bad, have wounded men, will try to get to K-13". After crossing the river Chinnampo, at 2106 hours the aircraft commander reported "We are bailing out, number-three engine on fire". Twelve of thirteen members of the crew bailed out--and reported that they never saw Capt. Heise' parachute. Capt. Heise flew the burning B-29 toward friendly lines while USAF Fighter Jets followed him, however, the B-29 continued to descend until it hit the side of a mountain and exploded. It is believed that Capt. Heise was trying to get as close to friendly lines as possible before deciding to bail out, and possibly thought that he could make it over the ridge of the mountain that he finally crashed into. When friendly forces got to the wreckage, there was no trace of Capt. Heise. All twelve crew members were repatriated under "Operation Big Switch", and another POW (a Major David F. MacGhee)reported that a Chinese interrogator informed him that the North Koreans had found Capt. Heise' remains in the wreckage. Capt. Heise was declared dead 12 January 1954 and a M.I.A. marker was placed in Arlington National Cemetery, Memorial Section H-391.
Capt. Heise flew 16 combat missions and had 110 combat hours in B-29's
Mr. Heise was killed in action in Korea on January 10, 1953 and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

If you wanna buy a pair of eyeglasses, from your own perspective, what sort of factors should be taken into consideration while shopping? I am completely sure that most people would like to buy a pair of cheap glasses with high quality, which means in most people's minds, price and quality are equally important, and that's definitely right! However, finding a pair of cheap glasses with high quality seems not that easy to lots of customers cuz they don't know where to buy, how to choose and whether they should trust the stores or not. Never mind, guys, here I will share with you some tips about how to find a pair of cheap glasses with high quality.
No.1: Choose online shopping instead of offline purchase
Differing from offline purchase, not only can online shopping bring you a lot of convenience and safe environment, but also optical online stores can offer you cheaper price due to their lower cost. Besides, there is an increasing number of optical online stores at the present-day society, so we do have a wide variety of choices to select cheap glasses online.
No.2: Select a cheap and professional optical online store
Selecting a cheap and professional optical online store is very essential. To begin with, it has to be admitted that google search engine is a useful and effective tool to search whatever you want. In addition, the info of products must be detailed, including about the description of eyeglasses, pictures, delivery time, shipping cost, etc.. Besides, the functions of website and activities should also be taken into consideration. Lastly, comparing the price among several optical online stores is also that essential, coz' different stores may sell the same eyewear with different price, which can help you to save lots of money.
No.3: Choose a pair of suitable cheap glasses via virtuall-try-on system
Do you know why so many people still keep buying in local optical stores? One of the most important reasons for individuals who don't wanna abandon offline stores is they do think they cannot try eyewear on and check whether they are fit on him or her. Actually, it doesn't like that, in the modern world, plenty of optical online stores have launched virtual-try-on system, where you can find some pics of people with different kinds of face shapes, so that you can put the eyewear which you are interested in, and check whether they are suitable or not.

Mexico's Cozumel, Storm Survivor, Awaits Tourists
By Catherine Bremer
COZUMEL, Mexico — At first glance, Mexico's Cozumel island — a Caribbean jewel ringed with coral reefs — looks like the site of a nuclear explosion.
Chunks of concrete pier have been swept away, palm-thatched beachside bars are stripped to skeletons, lush forest has turned into dry brown kindling and huge bites have been taken out of concrete buildings.
Yet unlike nearby Cancun, whose high-rise resorts are nearly all shut for repairs after their beaches were sucked away by Hurricane Wilma last month, many of Cozumel's hotels are open. Its best white sand beaches — which are natural rather than man-made like Cancun's — remain intact.
All the island needs now is for the tourists to return.
"We have hotels, restaurants, beaches and diving, we're all ready, we just desperately need tourists," said Kristi Groff, a diving instructor at the Pascual Scuba Center.
"We depend on package tourists and most have canceled their holidays until February. We're dying for this to end."
Wilma hung over Mexico's Yucatan peninsula for three long days, pounding resorts along the Caribbean coast.
With the flow of tourists cut off since then, the region is losing millions of dollars a day in what is normally the busiest season of the year.
The ancient Maya came to Cozumel to worship the goddess Ixchel. Later, 17th century pirates sheltered in its sandy coves. Today it is a favorite of divers and cruise ships.
A handful of cruise ships returned to Cozumel last week, but more rain from Tropical Storm Gamma drove them away again. Tourist divers are also scarce.
"We are taking out a couple of people a day. But we should be taking 30 to 40," said Guillermo Ramirez at Dive Paradise.
Travel agents are reluctant to send tour groups back with many of Cozumel's main attractions shut, such as the Chankanab marine wildlife park which has been smashed beyond recognition. Its dolphins, who sheltered from Wilma in the pool of a swanky hotel, have been transferred to the mainland for now.
"We used to have 1,000 visitors a day but there's nothing left. Just sea, rocks and rubble," said security guard Joaquin Chuc at the park entrance.
Some chunks of coastline were ravaged when Wilma drove a sea surge inland. Shops are boarded up and many beachfront hotel complexes need months to repair.
Hotels are offering discounts because of malfunctioning air conditioning and phone lines, and the few guests politely ignore the tape holding the window panes together.
Yet locals are upbeat.
"No one has been laid off. Hotels are still paying their staff, and the government has hired taxi drivers and bar staff to help with the clean up," said Eddie Rosales, who spent two weeks cleaning up debris and disinfecting contaminated water.
"If we work together, we know tourism will recover."
Construction workers bused in from around Mexico repair hotels and restaurants. The whine of drills and tap of hammers fills the air.
At Playa San Francisco, laborers far outnumber the four Mexican tourists on the beach, but the newly reopened bar pumps up the reggae to drown them out as it serves up cocktails.
"We heard about the hurricane and thought it would be nice and quiet if we came now," said Sonia Fernandez, collecting shells at the water's edge. "It's pretty here. It's perfect."

This is my go to lipstick everyday. It suits my complexion wonderfully. The only issue I have is I think they might be getting ready to discontinue it. Anyone know for sure? I have been buying any I can get my hands on. Love it!

I read reviews before I bought this, but at a low price point I decided to give it a try anyway. I don't mind shimmer or a bit of frost or glitter. Unfortunately, what so many other reviewers have already stated is true--this lip butter is practically bursting with gold glitter! The glitter is actually visible on the lips, and (at least on me) the glitter also migrated and wound up on the skin under my nose and all around my mouth. The color looks so pretty and unique, a really nice peachy pink that leans warm. It is smooth like all the lip butters, though perhaps a tad less so (probably due to the glitter). For reference, I am NW10-15, and was hoping to find a peachy pink to slightly "warm up" my look. I simply can't abide the glitter, though. However, I have since found that the color is very similar to Maybelline Color Whisper in Pin Up Peach, so if you find the glitter is just too much for you in Peach Parfait, give that one a try!

I had high hopes for Peach Parfait when I bought it but it just doesn't work on me. I'm C40. I'm Filipino. I have medium-tan skin with yellow undertones, black hair and dark brown eyes.
There was no color pay off on my lips. It just made it seem like I had frosted glitter gloss on. It was just bad.
I love other Lip Butters; just not this one. I ended up giving it to my friend. She's white with blondish-brown hair. It looked so much better on her.

I cannot write a good review on this. This color had so much potential. In theory this should look gorgeous but it doesn't and here is why:Glitter galore. So. Much. Glitter. It leaves a golden ring around my parameter of my lips which then travel across my chin. I liked the feeling of the lipstick on my lips since it wasn't a very gritty texture. Such a shame since the color base was a wonderful peachy pink that looked great on my nc20 skin. I wish they would reformulate this but without the glitter.

Peach Parfait is a very pretty peachy-pink, MLBB shade, with shimmer. I'm very cool toned and peachy shades don't generally look good on me, but this shade does. It's very sheer and moisturizing at first, but as it wears, it does feel a little dry. The formula seems to contain microglitter, which is probably what causes the dryness.
Even though it has a sheer texture, it lasts a decent amount of time after eating and drinking.

I LOVE this stuff! I just swipe it on my lips for a natural look, and I also like to layer it up for a peachy gold color, it looks beautiful on my medium skin tone I would say it is a bit too glittery for some people's taste, so if you're not into shimmer or glitter on the lips I suggest you stay away from it.

Very nice color, a little sparkly for my taste. No scent, fairly smooth, certainly hydrating! Lasts 2-3 hours without eating. A little pricey in my opinion, but that could just be where I live.

I liked the colour, but I found the formulation of this lipstick to be very odd...not smooth like the others and not pleasant to apply to the lips. Like the other lip butters I've tried, this highlights any imperfections on the lips, and the application isn't very even. I wore this one a fair bit, just because of the pretty colour, but ended up chucking it after about a year. I really don't like how messy these lipsticks get in the tube, they just seem to melt and change shape so easily.

I love the lip butters in general, but this one was not for me. It is super glittery on the lips, not even shimmery, just straight up visible glitter on the lips, which I just do not like. If not for the glitter, I would love this as the base shade is a great tone and I really like the formula of these.

These are common items for most scholarship programs, but many of the larger, more prestigious awards also require another document – the scholarship recommendation letter. Although similar to college admission recommendation letters, this additional component of your scholarship application can often play a vital part in moving your name from the rejection pile to the contenders' list. With thousands of dollars often on the line, it's not something that should be handled lightly; it takes some thought and a little planning to ensure you receive a recommendation that will stand out among the other applicants. If you want to secure a winning scholarship recommendation letter, consider the following tips.

The second full week of the National Hockey League season begins Monday with just a pair of games, including the New York Rangers at the Los Angeles Kings in a battle of two of the top goalies in the game. Henrik Lundqvist has struggled a bit against Los Angeles in his career, going 2-3-1 with an .899 save percentage, making the Kings just one of six teams Lundqvist has less than a .900 save percentage against. Jonathan Quick is 2-0 with a 1.45 GAA and .936 save percentage against the Rangers. The Kings are -145 on the overnight line.
On Tuesday, Corey Schneider and the New Jersey Devils visit Vancouver and Schneider is expected to get the start against his former team, as Martin Brodeur is slated to start Monday night against Edmonton. Roberto Loungo is 7-13 all-time against the Devils. The Devils could be worth a look as a mid-priced underdog.
Wednesday's key game will be the Chicago Blackhawks at the St. Louis Blues. Chicago goalie Corey Crawford has been a major thorn in the side of the Blues in his career, owning a solid 9-1-2 record against his Central Division counterparts, while Jaroslav Halak has had some impressive showings against Chicago, and is 3-1-3 with a 2.08 GAA and .931 save percentage. There could be a possible under play, especially if the bookmakers decide to hang a 5.5 on the game.
On Thursday, the Montreal Canadians travel to Edmonton and the Oilers have had Carey Price's number over the years, with Price going 1-4-1 with a 3.53 GAA and .853 save percentage against Edmonton. The Oilers have had trouble stopping the opposition so far this season, as Devan Dubnyk has been horrible so far. It will be Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' second game with the team, as he is expected to return to the line-up on Monday against the Devils. There could be plenty of scoring in this one.
The Rangers' brutal season-opening road trip continues on Saturday, as they visit the Blues and Lundqvist is still looking for his first-ever victory over St. Louis. Halak hasn't been great against the Rangers, sporting a 5-4 record with a 2.88 GAA and .904 save percentage, while Brian Elliott has been even worse going 1-3-1 in his career. The over may be worth a small shot in this spot.
Carolina, Florida, Los Angeles, New Jersey, NY Rangers and Phoenix all play four games this week, with the Rangers playing their third game in four nights on Thursday at Anaheim; the Coyotes playing their third game in four nights on Friday at Philadelphia and on Sunday at Carolina in a game where both teams are playing their third game in four nights. Carolina's game against Los Angeles on Friday will be their third in four nights, while the Panthers home games against Pittsburgh on Friday and Los Angeles on Sunday will be their third game in four days.

Romney fuzzy on presidential 'first trip' etiquette
- By Joshua Keating
Joshua Keating is associate editor at Foreign Policy and the editor of the Passport blog. He has worked as a researcher, editorial assistant, and deputy Web editor since joining the FP staff in 2007. In addition to being featured in Foreign Policy, his writing has been published by the Washington Post, Newsweek International, Radio Prague, the Center for Defense Information, and Romania's Adevarul newspaper. He has appeared as a commentator on CNN International, C-Span, ABC News, Al Jazeera, NPR, BBC radio, and others. A native of Brooklyn, New York, he studied comparative politics at Oberlin College.
Romney gets his pander on at AIPAC:
As President, peace will be my solemn goal. A peace based not on empty assurances, but on true security and defensible borders. This will require American strength, and a demonstration of our resolve. That's why, as President, my first foreign trip will not be to Cairo or Riyadh or Ankara. It will be to Jerusalem.
If this is a dig at Obama, I'm not sure exactly what Romney is referring to. The president's first trip abroad wasn't to Cairo, Riyadh, or Ankara, it was to Canada. On his first major international trip in April 2009, he visited Britain, France, Germany, and the Czech Republic before hitting Turkey.
This is pretty standard practice. Since Franklin Roosevelt, nearly every president has gone to either Canada or Mexico first. (Carter went to Britain first; Truman and Nixon went to Belgium.)
As far as I can tell, Israel has never been particularly bothered by this practice. But between this and "that oil from Canada that we deserve," Romney is running a serious risk of incurring the wrath of our neighbor to the north.

Pinning down the answer to a widely-asked question is one of the most exciting things a researcher can do. For Thomas Cullen, who completed the research as part of his Master's degree at Carleton University, this experience came early in his career.
Waterfowl such as ducks, geese and swans belong to the order Anseriformes. Game birds such as pheasants, partridges, hens and turkeys are known as the order Galliformes. The birds belonging to both of these orders are recognized not only for their meat, but also for their elegant display of their plumage.

Using a technique that can tell the gender of the person who left handprints on a cave wall based on various hand measurements, a Penn State anthropologist has discovered that the majority of these markings were made by women.
The essence of male beauty is down to the way males use their genes rather than what genes they have.
Without a doubt, "X" does make a difference.
For New Zealand's extinct, flightless giant moa, females often weighed three times as much as her male suitors say researchers, exhibiting an extreme form of sexual dimorphism.
Sexually naïve male mice respond differently to the chemical signals emitted by newborn pups than males that have mated and lived with pregnant females.
Researchers studying aging in an endangered lemur known as the Milne-Edwards' sifaka report that in old age, females are the safer sex.

The Immune Tolerance Network Implements Tableau to Deliver Collaborative Scientific Analytics and Dashboards
SEATTLE, Sept. 29 /PRNewswire/ – Tableau Software (http://www.tableausoftware.com), the global leader in rapid-fire business intelligence software (http://www.tableausoftware.com/business-intelligence-software), today announced that the Immune Tolerance Network (ITN) has implemented Tableau to provide Web-based reports and analytics to both internal and external audiences. The ITN chose Tableau for its ease of use, ability to publish live, interactive views to a secured Web interface and the simplicity of embedding views into its own Web portal.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20071106/CLTU012LOGO)
"Our researchers and scientists need to share data and collaborate over the Web to advance their research projects. We needed an analytics and reporting solution that was fast to deploy and easy to use, both from the IT and user perspective," said Dave Parrish, Director Informatics. "Tableau Software was the ideal choice. Not only was it fast and easy to integrate into our existing infrastructure, but the initial reactions have been extremely positive. People are finding the analytic and collaboration capabilities faster and easier to use than our previous solution."
The ITN is a collaborative research consortium, focused on the design, implementation and evaluation of investigator-initiated human clinical trials of new therapies aimed at producing stable, long-term tolerance in a number of disease settings. Founded in 1999 by a division of the National Institutes of Health, the ITN is led by a consortium of some of the world's foremost authorities on immune tolerance and regulation of the immune system. The ITN was established with the specific intent to create a means of sharing and distributing knowledge amongst experts of various disciplines in this field.
The ITN selected Tableau's BI suite, Tableau Desktop and Tableau Server, to deliver scientific data, reports and ad hoc analytics to its network of researchers. Award-winning Tableau Desktop (http://www.tableausoftware.com/products/desktop) connects directly to a wide assortment of data sources and lets people easily create powerful data visualizations. Tableau Server (http://www.tableausoftware.com/server), also an award winner, enables entire organizations to share, discover and interact with their data, business dashboards and reports via a Web browser.
"Tableau is a great fit for scientists and researchers who need cutting edge data visualization capabilities to match their cutting edge research. They don't have the time for long deployments or the budgets for expensive solutions," said Tableau's CEO and co-founder Christian Chabot. "Tableau meets their needs perfectly."

Telecom Minister is trying to whitewash the crime, says Prakash Karat
Accusing Union Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal of "trying to whitewash" the 2G spectrum allocation scam, Communist Party of India (Marxist) general secretary Prakash Karat on Sunday said that the people of India would not buy the Minister's argument that the Comptroller and Auditor-General's (CAG) finding on the loss of Rs.1.76 lakh crore was "utterly erroneous and without any basis."
"Now we understand why Kapil Sibal has been put in charge of the Ministry. After the exposure of the biggest scandal, there is a Minister who is trying to whitewash the crime," Mr. Karat told journalists after unveiling a portrait of CPI(M) leader Pappa Umanath here.
Asked whether the CPI(M) would raise the demand for a probe by a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) into the spectrum scam in the Budget session, he replied in the affirmative and said: "We will discuss what we will do during the Budget session."
Stating that Ms. Umanath represented a movement that was against neo-liberalism, Mr. Karat said: "When other bourgeois political parties were talking about corruption, they were hiding the fact that corruption was part and parcel of the existing neo-liberal regime at the Centre."
He said corruption stemmed from the nexus among politicians, corporate houses and bureaucracy, and that this nexus was sponsored and nurtured by the neo-liberal regime.
"Unless we fight the neo-liberalism that affects the lives of the working class, peasants, and the toiling masses, we cannot fight corruption, which is becoming institutionalised and invading our society," he said.
Mr. Karat said that at a time when politics was getting degenerated and elected members were using their position for self-service and self-aggrandisement and to serve the interests of the rich people, Ms. Umanath's life remained a striking contrast. Unlike others who learnt Marxism and Leninism through books, she was schooled in the ideology through her direct experience in the field, he added.
CPI(M) State secretary G. Ramakrishnan, Polit Bureau member K. Varadarajan, senior leaders R. Umanath, N. Sankaraiah, and N. Varadarajan, and senior CPI leader A.M. Gopu participated.

Follett Corporation adds outdoor condensing units with a three-phase power supply to its remote ice machine configurations.
Not only do outdoor condensing units remove the heat generated when making ice from the building, but these new energy efficient units save 20 percent more compared to single phase units. In addition to reducing the power required, the three-phase machine's lower amp load allows for smaller circuits, saving money on installation.
The three-phase ice machines produce the same quality Chewblet ice as the single-phase remote condensing units, as well as the self-contained machines. The outdoor condensing units are available for Horizon 1000, 1400, and 1650 series ice machines.

@ "Disappointment" - *Thank you!* Finally, the Honda CR-V is NOT perfect (that's all I've been hearing in my search).
I have been trying to decide whether to purchase the 2010 or 2011 CR-V, Toyota RAV4, or the Chevy Equinox.
I currently have an '03 Expedition, Eddie Bauer. I love it, but need to downsize due to fuel costs.
When I test drove the CR-V a few days ago, I remember it to feel sluggish and had some wind noise. Also, the seats were very uncomfortable for me. They had no cushioning compared to their competitors, which I test drove, as well.
I felt like I was sitting a in tractor seat!
Thanks again for the honest post. This helps narrow my decision even more. Next, I think I will test drive the GMC Terrain.... We'll see what I end up with... ;-)

Even as Delhi University's four-year undergraduate programme (FYUP) is in doldrums, Bangalore University's (BU) ambitious plan of restructuring its undergraduate (UG) programme from the 2014-15 academic year is facing uncertainty and confusion. On the one hand, UG admissions in affiliated colleges are drawing to a close. On the other, colleges claim the regulations governing the four-year UG programme with multiple exit options have not yet been conveyed to them.
M. Prakash, principal, Seshadripuram Degree College, Seshadripuram and general secretary, Bangalore University First Grade College Principals' Association, said admissions for B.Com., BBM and BCA were already closed and the cut-off for these courses was 84 per cent. "Admissions for arts and science courses are still open, but no one knows anything about the restructuring of courses as the university has not given us the regulations or the syllabus. We have admitted students as per the old structure," he added.
The All-India Democratic Students' Organisation (AIDSO) has found loopholes in the restructured programme, and has been opposing it. Beginning with the logic of introducing the new pattern of students making their own subject combinations (for example, a student opting for BA course can choose two arts and one science subject, apart from one foundation course along with languages), AIDSO has asked whether colleges have the faculty and infrastructure to cater to this. "If colleges continue with the same old combinations, what restructuring is the Vice-Chancellor talking about?" AIDSO has asked. Another is the lack of a new syllabus for the UG programme, including for the 14 new subjects falling under the category of foundation courses.
Asked about the status of the ambitious programme, BU Vice-Chancellor B. Thimme Gowda said the regulations had been formulated and uploaded on the varsity website. Denying the fact that there was any confusion, Prof. Gowda said, "The first three years will have the same structure. A student gets to choose a subject of his choice only in the third year for the honours course in the fourth year," he explained. The syllabus is almost ready and will reach colleges next week, he added.

The singer has been on a heavy promotional tour surrounding the release of R Rated, which has included opening up about her relationship with Chris Brown. And during a recent radio interview, Rih confronted another difficult moment from this year, when some naked photos she took of herself were leaked.
Rihanna called the experience "humiliating and embarrassing" especially since it was right before Mother's Day. But she also defended her actions saying, "If you don't send your boyfriend naked pictures, then I feel bad for him."
Some fans may disagree with Rih's opinion on this personal matter, but what do you think of her statements about the nude photos — refreshingly honest or TMI?

I do not have a problem with someone doing this, but I have a problem with someone saying that there is something wrong with you if you do not do that. Sending nude pictures may be dangerous and e.g. in my relationship there is no need for such communication and I have never done that.

The problem here isn't Rihanna. What people need to understand is what is good for you, isn't always good for someone else. I would never send photos to anyone but I understand that Rihanna may not share my mindset. The problem belongs with the people that are stealing and leaking these images and getting away with it. Private is private in my opinion. There is no law that prohibits this kind of behaviour. I agree that celebrities should know about the consequences but when they are in the moment and young, do you honestly think that they would be thinking abou that? I don't think that Rihanna has failed in being a good role model with this action because it wasn't intended for us. The same thing with other celebrities with the same problem. It is another story when they release these images themselves or pose for Playboy.

I agree with what you're saying, Louie. I think the thing that is missing when these pictures are taken is responsibility. I personally do not condemn people for TAKING these photos but it's a harsh world we live in and if you're going to take those photos and send them you MUST be smart, responsible, and AWARE of the consequences. The photos are harmless in private but damaging in the public if they weren't meant to been seen by the public (like the art I mentioned before).

Also, I'd just like to reiterate that I don't have any problem with those who DO take photos of themselves for their boyfriends/husbands. Do what you want, as long as it's consenual. But I think anyone with a little bit of fame needs to exercise a bit more caution.

If a celebrity wants to take nude photos of themselves, film themselves having sex, or whatever they want to do behind closed doors, then they are beyond stupid for not having learned from so many other's mistakes. Honestly. You would think they would know better by now. I really don't like her comment that she feels "sorry" for any guy whose girlfriend won't send naked photos of herself to him. Nice way to put some pressure on any girl who felt slightly insecure or who was being pressured by her boyfriend to do so. Idiot.

Rhianna is acting like sending naked pics to your boyfriend is harmless. The problem with sending naked pics of yourself to your boyfriend (or even your husband) is that in the event of break up your pictures can be misused. It's a very bad message to send to young girls that it's OK to send naked pics. Naked pictures has messed up so many young girls and grown women's lives. Not sending naked pics of yourself is the smart thing to do.

I'm not stupid enough to send my husband naked photos. Those of you who do, expect them to be leaked/shown to others/misused (not that my husband would do it, but those that end up breaking up will not show you the same respect). I use the same theory with emails/blogging/etc. - never write something you don't want others to read or something that can be held against you. What if your employer saw a nude photo of you on Facebook or somewhere online? You can't trust anyone. Please ladies, show some respect for yourself. It's almost impossible regain a lost reputation.

I'm a dude and if Rihanna sends me some naked pics nothing is wrong its the assholes who leak it is the bitch sending naked pics doesn't have nothing to do with being a role model cause it not like she sexing in the public role model her sexual life is her personal life and if someone would do that to embarrass her don't ever say never unless you know all the odd and probabilities of life a lot of us do things that we say would have never done maybe its not in the context of What she did but it shoes that unless we in her shoes,her space, then we judge give the girl a break........and you hearing this from a real dude not a female perspective that is fake and speak on the facts and not emotions due to now being a fan or just don't like her.

I agree. If she wants to be a role model then she shouldn't say that. At least she should have added something about that kind of actions (sending naked pics to your boyfriend) belongs to adult relationships. But I understand her. She feels embarrassed about it and tries to make it not a big deal.

^ What, Ms. judge and jury #28? That makes no sense. How does sending private photos to someone you love make you a slut? Was every woman who ever posed nude in art (paintings, statues, photographs) a slut? I mean the whole world gets to see them, not just their boyfriends and husbands. Sending nude pictures to someone you're intimate is not reason to denounce someone as a slut. Making generalizations and ignorant comments like you did makes you obtuse.

I think Monkeyface is confused. Unless you're a slut, there is no reason you should send your boyfriend nude pictures.

Taking private photos DOES NOT make Rhianna a bad role model. She is an adult who took those photos in trust that they would not be shared. The difference between Rhianna and any other woman is that she is a celebrity, I would be willing to bet that nearly EVERY woman has, at some point, taken nude photos or videos to share with a lover. She is a realist and her statement regarding the photos reflects just that!
sidra5397 5 years
I don't know if she meant her answer to come out the way it did. It was a stupid thing to say, but I think she said it more to defend and protect her feelings and ego than to sound on off people who don't send nude pictures to their boyfriends...

I totally send my husband naked pictures of myself! But I'm not a celebrity and they won't get leaked! But I've also been married for 13 years, it's fun to do something that will keep the spark alive! I know my husband enjoys getting nudie pictures and I enjoy sending them! The problem is when young kids do it, but that is a parenting issue!

She may think it's harmless fun, and as a pop star it's not really going to affect her life other than being embarrassed and handing her more press, but to make that kind of a comment encourages teenagers to think it's okay to do. Those pictures might get leaked and affect their lives in a very negative way other than showing them around school. Colleges nowadays do internet searches of potential students, including their facebook and myspace pages, and these kinds of photos could keep them from being accepted. In addition employers are now also checking peoples online presence. At my former place of work two employees were fired because of things they either posted or blogged about, and a large number of people were rejected for their online antics. Once these photos hit the web they are there for everyone to see... forever. I'm not so sure how proud these girls are going to be of their indiscretions when their kids or their kids friends are able to see them.

serisously... have none of you ever sent a nudey pic to your husband or boyfriend? I agree with her... I feel sorry for your hubby if you don't occasionally send him a little peek of something. It keeps your relationship exciting. Plus she's of age so if she wants to take naked pics of herself then who the hell cares... let's be real... everyone really does do it.

can't join multiplayer games, cannot connect to host
Is anyone else having this problem? When I select a "room", the connection times out, everytime. Is there a fix, any suggestions?
The host likely doesn't have the correct ports open.
Having the problem where I can't join random rooms, but I can host just fine and my friends can join my game and play for hours without any problems. Just can't connect to any servers in the Join Game list, it always times out or, if it does manage to connect to something, is laggy as all hell. All ports that should be forwarded are, and I have a 5MB down 2MB up connection. Not sure what the problem is, guessing it's just Gamespy being complete garbage as usual. If they had used Steam servers and had compatibility with Steam friends this game would be so much better, but instead they chose Gamespy because it's most likely the cheapest way to go.
I have a great PC and a great connection, but I cannot for the life of me get people not to lag in my games or for me not to lag in other people's games. I am really beyond ends here. Jumping around all over the place is making me want to vomit it is so nauseating. Some hosts are not as bad but still not playable, some people seem to be able to play a bit in my games while others are jumping all over the place too.
I really really hope they address this issue soon. It's like they have just terrible netcode in this game because this is an issue going across people with good PC's and good connections.
AMD Phenom II x 2 550 3.83 ghz - Gigabyte UD4P - 4gb DDR 2 1066 - Radeon HD 4850 512mb - Corsair 450w PSU - Zalman 9900 CPU Cooler - Antec 300 - Z-2300's
I also can't connect to any hosts without the connection timing out. I have no clue what the problem is. I also have a great PC and connection.
the problem is port forwarding.... i'm having major problems with this as well
"I am not a sexist, I own a wife" -drointhewind
"The race for quality is neverending so technically it's just like a death march" - unknown
Port fowarding is the problem for some, but not for everyone. If forwarding the correct ports for borderlands does not work, you can also try forwarding the ports for gamespy. If these don't work, multiplayer fixes are on the way, just be patient.
Port-forwarding is fine and dandy, but for people who aren't paranoid, you can easily put your IP address in a DMZ and open all those ports and then whatever other ones that may be used by Borderlands for whatever reason. Kick it back on when you're done playing. It's a lot easier than figuring out which ports to open for which games.
If you have DSL, do it so that your router is DMZ'd on your modem. If you have cable, do it on your router since most cable modems can't be configured. If it can, do it just like with DSL.
I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every minute of it!

Without going to cosmological distances, it is possible to measurethe density parameter Ω, by means of so-called local tests. Manyof the local tests "weigh" local structures by applying the virial theorem,which states that the kinetic energy of a self-gravitating systemshould be approximately equal to its potential energy. Since themotion of luminous galaxies must be observed to estimate the kineticenergy of the system, only the component of the mass density clusteredwith luminous galaxies can be examined in this fashion. As notedearlier, such measurements tend to give low values of around 0.1to 0.2. However, as mentioned in the discussion of cosmic velocityflows in section III, there may be a component of dark matter clumped in sizes largerthan clusters of galaxies but smaller than superclusters. Cosmicvelocity flows may be detecting structures on this scale, givingvalues of Ω near 1. If there exists a perfectly smooth backgroundof mass density unclustered with the galaxy distribution on any scale,it can be detected only by its effects on the curvature of space,in the global measurements of q0.
Galaxies have been used as beacons to map the distribution of matterin the universe ever since they were recognized as independent systemsof stars. As described above, the "local" distribution of galaxies showsa complicated network of structures. When averaged over the largestdistances, many billions of light-years, the distribution of matteris expected to be more homogeneous. Current research programs onvery distant galaxies have two distinct goals. The first is to usethe number of visible galaxies as a measure of the surveyed volume.If galaxies were stationary and the geometry of space were determinedby the rules of euclidean geometry, then the number of galaxies seenwould be roughly proportional to the cube of the distance probed(N ∝ r3). When the effects of redshift and non-euclidean geometry are takeninto account, the number of galaxies is expected to increase moreslowly than r3 at larger distances, as is indeed observed. (If these effects werenot present, the night sky would not be dark! This is known as Olbers's paradox.) Questions about the geometry of the universe—is space positively or negatively curved, infinite or finite?—can be related by general relativity to the dynamics of the expansion(will the universe expand forever, or will it stop expanding andcollapse in a Big Crunch?). Thus, measuring the curvature of theuniverse in the past can be used to predict the expansion of theuniverse in the future.
The second use of distant galaxies is to probe for signs of evolutionof galaxies and of the clustering of galaxies in the universe overthe billions of years during which their light has been travelingto us. The notion is that a galaxy seen at an earlier stage in itslife should have more gas available out of which to form new stars,and consequently it should appear brighter and bluer (when adjustedfor redshift) because of the presence of many massive, hot youngstars. A trend to bluer colors in fainter galaxies has been detected,and its detailed interpretation is a subject of active current research.
Normal nearby galaxies emit most of their light at visible wavelengths,but the light received from the most distant galaxies is redshiftedto infrared wavelengths. In the past decade, detectors with highsensitivity have been developed that are ideal for measuring weakinfrared radiation, and the main technical problem that remains isthe strong emission of infrared radiation from the atmosphere andfrom the telescope itself. This problem is analogous to local interferencein the CMBR measurements, and the solution is similar: go where it's cold, to the South Pole or out in space. Plans are well advancedto deploy a telescope at the South Pole to make deep-sky surveysat near-infrared wavelengths. This approach is less expensive thanbuilding space observatories, but it has the disadvantage of beingrestricted by the atmosphere to a relatively narrow spectral range.This effort in Antarctica is complemented by planned space missionssuch as the Space Infrared Telescope

Groton — A fire engulfed and gutted a trailer in High Rock Mobile Home Park around 1:11 a.m. Monday, leaving two firefighters with slight injuries as nearby neighbors feared for their own homes.
Fire officials said two residents, a man and a woman, were in the burning trailer at 208 G St. The man awoke to the fire alarm, said Capt. Brian Kiely of the Poquonnock Bridge Fire District, and went to his neighbors to ask them to call 911.
Two neighbors reported the fire, which Poquonnock Bridge responded to along with personnel from the Naval Submarine Base, the City of Groton, Mystic and the Old Mystic Firefighter Assist and Search Team (FAST).
On arrival, firefighters found flames shooting out all the windows and the trailer "fully engulfed," Kiely said. A 20-pound propane tank on the deck was also burning, he said.
The mobile home park does not have a fire hydrant because the owner chose not to install one, Kiely said. So firefighters had to connect to a fire hydrant 1,800 feet away, on Ginger Drive.
"So that is a delay right there," Kiely said.
The roof collapsed, and there isn't much structurally to that type of a trailer, he said. "It is like a big oven, you know. It's all metal," Kiely said.
Kiely said he estimated that the firefighters were able to knock down the fire in 20 to 25 minutes.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, Kiely said. One firefighter injured an ankle from kicking the frozen fire hydrant wrench open, Kiely said. The other injured a hand.
Algie Mazzeo, who lives next door, said she woke at 1:15 a.m. to the sound of frantic knocking and ringing of her doorbell. She sat up in bed and "the sky looked red," she said.
"I just jumped out of bed and I was a nervous wreck," she said. "I looked out the window and could see the flames on (the neighbor's) back porch." She called 911.
She said by the time she reached the door, the person knocking had left.
The houses on G Street are close together, so you could toss a ball easily from one yard into the next. Mazzeo said she was afraid her mobile home might also catch fire, so she grabbed her purse, got in her car and drove some distance away. "I was terrified," she said.
Heat from the fire melted the skirting on one side of her mobile home, and there was a faint odor of smoke inside. But she said firefighters did an excellent job of containing the fire. She said they told her she was fortunate to have snow on the roof, because embers were blowing onto it.
"We were lucky because it could have been a lot worse, she said.
The local chapter of the American Red Cross is providing the two displaced residents with a temporary place to stay along with emergency food, clothing and other items of personal need.

Thank You Steve!!
The SSP is supposed to be a training program for the Sportsman. The guy that flies any chance he gets. The task in the SSP gives them goals that train them to fly a sailplane.
The only way I know how to do that is practice which is what the SSP does with the task for each metal.
Ask the guys that make it to the FAI comps or are consistently win contest how they got there, I am sure they will tell you they practice a lot.
I may be wrong, but I don't think a 20 year vet can tell the LSF that they're going to jump into the SAP at Level 3, for example.

OK, I understand your point of view. I am just expressing my point of view.
Personally, I don't need the SSP so I can practice landings for contests. I practice landings for contests because I am a contest pilot, which is why I am working the LSF contest program.
Randy, you are quite right. It is one of the annoyances I have with the current program. It took me an entire season to get through level 1 and 2. That was not because there was any challenge to 1 and 2 but because of the time delays and waits needed. And the time it took to get through some of the contest requirements. For example, I completed Level II with contest points that would have qualified to complete Level III. Now I have to do them over again for Level III. Nothing new, just more of the same. The 30 minute flights that I did while I was doing level 1 and 2 were not applicable toward Level III because I had to slog through 1 and 2 first.
The program didn't really become interesting till I hit level III. If I could have started the LSF program at Level III, I would have started there. Level 1 and 2 were simply barriers to working the challenges that I saw as real opportunites for personal growth.
So, what does all of this have to do with the SSP?
When I look at the development of a new program I look at my own experiences with LSF's program, plus things that others have told me about their feelings about the current LSF program. Some of those feelings and feedbacks were about why people did not participate in the LSF program.
I take that information and experiences and see what I could suggest to make a new program more attractive to beginner and experienced pilots alike. That was the basis of my suggesting a two part program. Let the newbies work through the basics and let the advanced pilots jump in at a more advanced level.
I am not saying I am right and everyone else is wrong. We all have valid points of view. I express my thoughts, not to show you all how right I am, but to put new ideas on the table. I have no proof that my approach is any better than any other. The organizers can then pick and choose those ideas and elements that map well to the goals of the program as they see it.
As I said earlier, if I were driving this program I would be looking for a high level of participation and a high level of completion. But that is not necessarily the goal of those who are in charge of the program, and that is OK with me. I am just providing my ideas for consideration.

BTW, I am very glad to see that this is mostly a paperless sysetm. Paper and snail mail bring no value to the program, you just have to file it.
I would elimnate all signatures and scanning of forms. No one is going to audit the signatures or call the witnesses, unless there is a dispute. So a simple text based e-mail that advises you that someone completed a level, the relevent info is all anyone needs. IF you want witnesses, A name and phone number is sufficent. Easy to file electronically and produces tiny files.
Best of luck to the program and many thanks to the organizers for their service to the community and to giving my thoughts consideration.
I don't see what the issue is with this program. Swimming the English Channel or any of the Great Lake's is a daunting task,so only a few try,same as climbing Mount Everest.
If this program is too difficult or too long for anyone, then my advice is DON'T DO IT. Threre will be many of us that over time will rise up to the challenge.
I have the shortest flying season of anyone so far at 10 -12 week's per year. Every flying day, I know that I have to bring my "A" game,and fly for a purpose and not just "dither around" in the sky.
I like the program just the way it is!!!
I believe we should be thinking LESS ABOUT OURSELVES AND WHAT WE LIKE AND MORE ABOUT WHAT OTHERS WOULD BE ATTRACTED TO.
As a show of solidarity and my small way of showing some respect to Steve and his family I'm going to make the effort to do Copper. I just looked over the requirements and if I have added this all up right Copper requires 2 hours 15 minutes of flying and 3 landings within 3 meters (some of those landings have to coincide with long flights). To me, this seems like a challenging enough task to make the goal of acheaving the Copper level rewarding, at least to me. I have not been flying RC gliders for 20 years but I have been flying them for 15 years now. I don't know if I will try for any other "metals" after Copper. Either way finishing Copper will be someting I'll be proud of and I'll be proud to have a SSP membership number. I just filled out the form to get the Copper level started.
For years there has been talk, talk, talk on rcgroups and other places about self paced self recognition programs. The SSP is not the program I would have devised but then I did not devise a program. To my knowledge, only one person actually stepped up and did something. Come on, peeps. 2 hours 15 minutes of flying. I think that is the least we can do.
Quick question
For the 8 spot landings for Copper, can an electric sailplane be used? I think so but I'm not 100% sure based on the rules for the precision landing flights. Just wanted to confirm this.
Welcome Ryan. Thats a good way of looking at it, each level is an entity unto it's self.
I would far rather end this life being an SSP member at the Copper level and knowing I did my best, then just flying "what ever", "when ever", and never being a part of something GREAT.
Where's all our slope guys at? I need to hear from you. I've been talking to Joe and we have a new game plan we would like to discuss real quick with everyone. But we will need the slope guys help. Here's what we're talking about briefly.
We're thinking about a small, quick change to Bronze and a bigger change to Silver. We're thinking of making them a little easier and having slope re-done for Bronze and continued through Silver. Then there would be two advanced halves of the program. One for slope and one for TD. You could choose to do both at the same time or just one. It wouldn't matter.
This solves several concerns people have had. One it brings the "this or that" back that a lot of people like. It also makes the main part of the program less involved and less daunting to those just starting out. It then allows the advanced parts to be more involved and difficult. By making that small distinction between the two it should solve the problem of the "whole" looking so scary to some. It would be a good way to please the greatest number of people I think. At the same time it would keep the record keeping and paperwork to a minimum for us. What do you all think?
Great solution!
