LYDIA DAVEY Combat Correspondent E IELSON AIR FORCE BASE, Alaska — An F/A-18 Hornet fighter jet, geared to perfect mechanical readiness and loaded with lethal weapons, is com- pletely useless without fuel. This is where the KC-135 Stratotanker flies in. In a recent mission during Northern Edge 2004, fighter pilots were required to fly several hundred miles over the Alaskan wilderness – and several hundred miles from the nearest fuel source. A KC-135E, manned by the Illinois Air National Guard's 108th Air Refueling Squadron, Scott Air Force Base, Ill., took to the skies in support of the mission. Within four hours, the four- man crew had successfully off- loaded the appropriate amount of fuel from their tanks. "The mission was a success," said Air Force Chief Master Sgt.

Rubem Fonseca's The Taker and Other Stories continues to get some really good coverage, including two recent reviews at The Front Table and The National.
The Front Table is Seminary Co-op's online newsletter/review magazine. It's been around in one form or another for almost two decades, and the current variation is really impressive, with great reviews of interesting books and a Editors Speak section that's really interesting. Oh, and a great review by Stan Izen of The Taker:
I am a good Hyde Park liberal: I argue vigorously on the side of equality for all and I donate monthly to Doctors Without Borders. Still, I really have no idea of the depth of despair suffered by the abandoned lonely, the poorly cared for elderly, and those bereft of hope and opportunity. Reading Rubem Fonseca's new collection, The Taker and Other Stories, is a short walk through these foreign neighborhoods. Fonseca's writing is rough; many of his characters are angry and disaffected, and they assuage their rage, not by brooding in their rooms and writing poetry, but by brutally murdering those they see as having everything they don't. The reading is often upsetting but it is also revelatory, and that is the thrill of reading these stories. [. . .]
I used to read to find myself, now I read to get out of myself. Fonseca's shocking, funny, thoughtful, fanciful stories electrify the emotions and disturb the reader. Kafka is correct, as usual, when he says: A book must be an ice-axe to break the seas frozen inside our soul. Fonseca's writing does exactly that, in spades.
I want to give it a bit more time before getting too excited, but I have hopes that the Arts Section of Abu Dhabi's The National could be the new New York Sun. I mean hell, they have Ben Lytal writing for them:
The Brazilian author Rubem Fonseca writes with a violence that his peers – writers of postmodern crime fiction – eschew. Think of Haruki Murakami, who has used noir plot devices to give structure and grit to adolescent dream narratives. Or Michael Chabon, who has reimagined Jewish-American history through the lens of detective fiction. Or Fonseca's co-linguist, Jose Saramago, who in some of his recent novels has been writing like Paul Auster, making the mystery novel a vehicle for philosophical thought experiments.
None of these other authors goes to crime fiction for blood. Though some maintain an interest in evil, the consistent trend in highbrow crime fiction has been away from the dark alley and into the cerebral stratosphere. Fonseca couldn't differ more. Vital to his stories is the troubling moment when the slashing crimes of his characters become too palpable and, to the engrossed reader, almost participatory.
It's a very detailed, very enthusiastic review . . . But beyond the nice attention for one of our books, I'm just thrilled that Ben Lytal is back reviewing!
Founded in 1960 by such creative pioneers as George Perec, Raymond Queneau and Italo Calvino, the Oulipo, shorthand for Ouvroir de littérature potentielle, came about in when a group of writers and mathematicians sought constraints to find new structures and. . .

Not really inspired by anything, just a common shirt design. I'm not calling it my own, but I didn't see anyone else's to inspire me. I was bored with my Batman t-shirt, so I cut it more to my style.
Lay your t-shirt out flat and get your fabric scissors.
Cut the collar to your liking, or leave it as it is. Personally, the collar on t-shirts are too high and tight for me.
Cut the sleeves in a straight line until you reach the length you want; curve your cut then and remove the extra cloth.
Done, no sewing required! Easy, fast, and affordable.
Wear it with a cami or tank top inside (or it would be scandalous!) and jeans/shorts.
that's awesome, thanks for the tutorial ^^
I done this and it's awesome!
Thanks for idea!
I love this idea. It's perfect for practice, since I hate those collars also. ;)
ghiyaa i luv this idea where did u get ur t-shirt or where can u get cheap retro t-shirts like tht???
Excellent way to make an old shirt awesome! thanks i'm doing this tonight!!
Soo Cute!
this is sweet. I even tried it, but I cut too much off the side and I can't cut the other side cuz the sleeve will fall off x) it stll looks good, though!
Good job !!!!! its all about vamping what you have!

I wanted to be on record that i feel a sense of home in an mmo and from an unlikely source but it makes sense. Eldevin online. Now before you go leaving i started with runescape 1 i had a blast playing that game every one after felt a little more hollow... like its the same crap regurgitated over and over and handed back to me. Except for WoW cause it was a first.
I wanted to say hey to the eldevin community on here and see if we cant hook up. Here is my review of eldevin on another thread.
I personally love this game.
I glanced over it once thinking it wasn't for me boy was i wrong. Me and my mumble crew were looking for something together (since we came from FF14 and diablo 3 and WoW) i was feeling to get a classic kinda browser game to play. I suggested it and me and 2 others went for it.
It was nice reminded me of runescape so it felt nice and at home. Then the first quest i was thrusted into took me by surprise i loved the first quest (and i loved more to come). From there i entered the world learning to shoot a bow melee and magic the game really allows you to explore the diversity of the skills and attributes. The crafting IS WORK but i think that adds to the classic feel to it. I dont mind killing a lot to get mats and learning to craft new items its an open world that accepts that playstyle. you can quest then craft go to a random dungeon whatever.
The community IS ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE SEEN. Always up to help my first friend i met on here just started helping me outa the blue to skin animals. It is active for how small it is always conversation.
Already new content coming out. With new zones level item cap and more.
The questing is very smooth the story lines are flawless if you stop to read them and enjoy the experience. because it is slow not fast paced race to the finish and i love it. It takes time so you relax playing the game learning about the world and being a real part of it. the story is GREAT.
The combat i also like some people think its too fast i think its great with the AI they have. because you can pull other mobs easy etc. in closed quarters that can be doom so to quickly use my skills to fell my foe is how i like it. Theres a sense of danger.
It does have a cash shop, but its only vanity and potions which allow you to progress faster. so if you like faster play sub i might be end of this week. not that i need the exp boost or anything. You can also BUY GOLD, i do not know the implications of this on end game yet but thus far playing i make enough cash for myself and am doing great F2P.
Give this game a try you will be surprised i was. Then again my opinion I hope more people share theer experience and build on this potential it has. :)

Everyone likes publix, winn dixie but sometimes the mom and pop stores give you what the others cant. Same with some small, handfull, developer backed games.
Give the game a try through the first quest. It may not be for you but atleast you tried. Atleast you supported a small game.
I agree, in fact, I think if everyone who ever played runescape saw this game, it would be millions on it in a heartbeat. I'm shocked they don't advertise this game to runescape fans.
Some people might not like it because of how long it takes to mine and such, but the fact is, its only half the time runescape required of you in crafting, I'm glad I can craft for days on end like the good old runescape days and not be max level, it keeps me occupied with my free time.
Can start or stop when ever you want to, and has all the features of a Dungeon Finder which is pretty great for this type of browser game. Not for all, but I think old school runescape fans really really will enjoy this a lot just like you and your other friends have who played runescape in the day.
Im waiting for ESO but this game is so fun as a casual game like runescape was, I'll be subbing this game along side of it.

I started playing yesterday and the game looks really awesome, it has the Runescape feel but with a serious touch, I mean , Runescape is like playing a toon inside a cartoon fantasy world, Eldevin is a high fantasy setting with a very deep storyline and the quests are really enjoyable, they make sense and you are guided through the process so you are not going to stuck in a given moment. I think this game will develop and grow and soon will be among the best, it was just released and already had a new expansion I am excited about what the future will bring for it.

Really good game better than most established ones. Has a Runescape feel but I think its better to be fair Runescape was good in its day. Enjoying it lots worth a try if you have not tried it yet. I even spent some money supporting it as I played it for a few days and thought it was worth some support. Its free so and takes mins to get up and running so IMO people give it a go.

Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: Complex symmetric matrices whose real and imaginary parts are positive definite are shown to have a growth factor bounded by 2 for LU factorization. This result adds to the classes of matrix for which it is known to be safe not to pivot in LU factorization. Block factorization with the pivoting strategy of Bunch and Kaufman is also considered, and it is shown that for such matrices only pivots are used and the same growth factor bound of 2 holds, but that interchanges that destroy band structure may be made. The latter results hold whether the pivoting strategy uses the usual absolute value or the modification employed in LINPACK and LAPACK.

Valentine's Day Gift Guide 2011
By Rebecca Silverstein
Christmas is long gone, so you thought the gift-giving season was over. Not so fast, buddy. Valentine's Day is just as much about presents as the ho-ho-holidays. How else are you going to show the people around you that you love them? Sheesh! Lucky for you, we've picked star-worthy gifts for everyone on your list. (Yes, everyone. We checked.)
For your single gal pal:
You have to kiss a whole lot of frogs to find your prince, or so the saying goes. But in a world of multi-tasking and multi-dating, how is a busy girl to keep track of them all? Why, with Knock Knock's Rate-A-Date Pad! With rating scales for conversation, manners, sex quotient and more, plus a space to fill in some details, you'll be able to pick out the losers with ease. For a songstress like Taylor Swift, it also has an added bonus of being a starting point for songs.

"I received several compliments on this birth announcement. It has a sweet, soft design that is perfect for a little girl - very high quality."
"My husband and I waited until our daughter was about 3 months old before taking professional photos and sending an announcement. After reviewing multiple options, we decided that this design was perfect to showcase her look. We styled her in a "little black dress" complete with pearls and photographed her against a pink blanket. I loved that the gray background of this card complimented her outfit and the pink made her first and middle name pop. We have received so many compliments on this announcement. And I look forward to saving it in her memory book."
"I loved this announcement. I had newborn photos taken professionally. For the announcement I used a fall themed picture and it matched perfectly with the orange on the card. The cards are nice and thick. The bows on the back were a cute touch. I got a lot of great feedback from everyone I sent these to. I am also very impressed with the quickness that I received them."
"Wonderful design, really happy with the orange color and the painterly style. Excited to send this out. Wish the print quality a little more crisp but overall very happy with the end result."
"Looks awesome. Only thing is you can't read the white letters. I could read them fine on my computer but when I received them it looked different. :( Not terrible. Overall a beautiful announcement. If you order just be sure your background isn't too light or the white letters will be hard to read."

Alright, I'm tired of the "Game", who wants to just get married, have a couple of kids and call it a day?
Ok, in my intro I may be exaggerating a little bit. ;) No worries, not expecting the first date to be a drive for a quickly wedding in Las Vegas. LOL I'm new back to the dating scene. I just broke up from a long term relationship. I don't have any expectations other then to meet a great and interesting person. I hope whom ever I meet we can find some new adventures to share. I work in the harbor area. I'm in sales and have been at my job for the past 12 years. I graduated with a BA in history from Cal State Long Beach. I'm currently taking business classes gearing up to possible go back to CSULB for a MBA. My life is pretty busy with work and school, but I think that shows I'm a focused and determined individual. I was in the Marine Corps and served in combat in the Iraq War in 2003. I was in the invasion from Kuwait all the way to Baghdad. I was a M1A1 Main Battle Tank crew member. I'm out of the military now. My hobby is ridding around on my Vespa scooter. I'm in a scooter club and we go all around L.A. or on trips for rides, going to concerts, going to pubs, or just getting together. As for a car, I"m getting my 1960 Corvair restored so I look forward to going on some road trips. I"m sort of anit-car, but that is because I live and work local. I'm gearing up to maybe get me a Triumph motorcycle sometime in the near future. Would be nice to find that special girl that likes to ride around on scooter rallies and motorcycles when I bump up to the big boys. Other then that I like to think I'm a pretty chill person. I grew up here in the South Bay so I'm all about the beach communities.

The New Orleans Saints have been at odds with the NFL all offseason, as the alleged bountygate scandal has dominated just about every football headline. While the suspended Saints players and coaches fight to clear their names of any wrongdoing, the NFL seems to be uninterested in the players claims. New Orleans interim head coach Joe Vitt, who has been suspended for the first six games of the2012 season, took the fight for truth to a whole new level, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Vitt called NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Wednesday afternoon and offered to take a lie detector...

There was indeed a risk of losing investment grade, but thanks to the appointment of Joaquim Levy and the new fiscal targets, that risk has declined a lot

Investigating the planet's biomes and examining the modern threats to each ecosystem, this interactive series challenges young readers to look at how their own actions influence the planet's health. With compare-and-contrast facts and vocabulary-building sidebars, each engaging guide reveals how environmental threats—both human and natural—affect plants and animals.
Examining this growing biome, this guide shows that the desert is more than just a giant sandbox. Discussing desertification and how environmental change—such as ranching, overdevelopment, and cactus collection—in this area can threaten life outside the desert, this resource instructs students on the need to treat the desert with care.
