Business Plan
by Susan S, Window Shopper
- Created: February 15, 2013, 4:06 pm
I am looking at the business plan tool on the SBA website. Any suggestions on tweaking this for the use by a 501(c)3 nonprofit? Or any other suggestions on writing a business plan for a small nonprofit? We are being asked by a prospective funder for a business plan. Thanks in advance!

There is a no cost tool available on the BUZGate web site that supports
developing a business plan for a nonprofit or for-profit. As an online
course, it also allows you to select a volunteer business mentor from SCORE,
the SBDC or elsewhere, to work with you as you progress with each step.

Iraqi urges militias to toe line
Premier-designate: Follow state, stop acting independently
Posted: August 26, 2014 at 3:46 a.m.
BAGHDAD -- Iraq's prime minister-designate Monday called on the country's numerous Shiite militias and tribes to come under government control and stop acting independently, as violence across the country killed at least 58 people in areas where the Muslim sect dominates.

How open data is being used by innovative energy companies.
Missed the New York Energy Data Jam? Watch the video to learn about some of the new ideas and find out how you can still get involved.
The Energy Data Jam travels to New York City next week, and we want to hear your ideas for the next breakthrough technology built on open energy data.
The Green Button initiative, which is the common-sense idea that electricity customers should be able to securely download their own energy usage information from their utility websites, is continuing to gain traction across the country.
The Green Button Initiative is enabling energy innovation for millions of homes and businesses across the country -- and making it easier to identify energy conservation opportunities.
The outgrowth of the "Data Jam" from the health sector into other areas like energy and education sparked an inspiring wave of entrepreneurship. These Jams –- formerly known as Joint Application Modeling Sessions -- were a major improvement to the familiar format of public-private collaboration workshops. Looking to 2013, the Energy Department is announcing today the next round of Data Jams.
View a recording of the Energy Department's Google+ Hangout on the "Impact of Open Data"
Tune in tomorrow to learn about Energy.gov/Data, and hear from the experts on why this new website (and the open data movement) matters for the energy industry.

How Do Web Search Engines Work
Without sophisticated search engines, it would be virtually impossible to locate anything on the Web without knowing a specific URL.
|Search engines are the key to finding specific information on the vast expanse of the World Wide Web. Without sophisticated search engines, it would be virtually impossible to locate anything on the Web without knowing a specific URL. But do you know how search engines work? And do you know what makes some search engines more effective than others?
When people use the term search engine in relation to the Web, they are usually referring to the actual search forms that searches through databases of HTML documents, initially gathered by a robot.
There are basically three types of search engines: Those that are powered by robots (called crawlers; ants or spiders) and those that are powered by human submissions; and those that are a hybrid of the two.
Crawler-based search engines are those that use automated software agents (called crawlers) that visit a Web site, read the information on the actual site, read the site's meta tags and also follow the links that the site connects to performing indexing on all linked Web sites as well. The crawler returns all that information back to a central depository, where the data is indexed. The crawler will periodically return to the sites to check for any information that has changed. The frequency with which this happens is determined by the administrators of the search engine.
Human-powered search engines rely on humans to submit information that is subsequently indexed and catalogued. Only information that is submitted is put into the index.
In both cases, when you query a search engine to locate information, you're actually searching through the index that the search engine has created —you are not actually searching the Web. These indices are giant databases of information that is collected and stored and subsequently searched. This explains why sometimes a search on a commercial search engine, such as Yahoo! or Google, will return results that are, in fact, dead links. Since the search results are based on the index, if the index hasn't been updated since a Web page became invalid the search engine treats the page as still an active link even though it no longer is. It will remain that way until the index is updated.
So why will the same search on different search engines produce different results? Part of the answer to that question is because not all indices are going to be exactly the same. It depends on what the spiders find or what the humans submitted. But more important, not every search engine uses the same algorithm to search through the indices. The algorithm is what the search engines use to determine the relevance of the information in the index to what the user is searching for.
One of the elements that a search engine algorithm scans for is the frequency and location of keywords on a Web page. Those with higher frequency are typically considered more relevant. But search engine technology is becoming sophisticated in its attempt to discourage what is known as keyword stuffing, or spamdexing.
Another common element that algorithms analyze is the way that pages link to other pages in the Web. By analyzing how pages link to each other, an engine can both determine what a page is about (if the keywords of the linked pages are similar to the keywords on the original page) and whether that page is considered "important" and deserving of a boost in ranking. Just as the technology is becoming increasingly sophisticated to ignore keyword stuffing, it is also becoming more savvy to Web masters who build artificial links into their sites in order to build an artificial ranking.

Per Nilsson has rejuvenated a Mississippi State tennis program in his six years as the head coach.
Nilsson takes his Bulldogs into a place today where they haven't found success since he was a player at State.
No. 17 MSU opens the Southeastern Conference Championship against the No. 55 LSU Tigers. The match is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. at Vanderbilt's Currey Tennis Center in Nashville, Tenn.
The Bulldogs last SEC Championship came in 1993 when they tied host school Georgia with a score of 12.5 to split the championship. Nilsson was a junior in 1993 and was an integral part of that team.Â
"Yeah, we definitely are," Nilsson said of his team was capable of winning it all this week. "It's such a close league this year with maybe one or two teams that are sneaking away from everybody else. Everyone can beat everyone. It's the team that gets hot. We've just got to play our best tennis to do it."

Gates left wide open by Jags
By winning yesterday, perhaps the Chargers can stop hearing or talking about Kansas City, the mistakes and the ultimate upset. Among the most common explanations of what took place was the Chiefs' decision to almost never leave Gates single-covered, something Gates didn't take personal. He thought that was more a case of K.C. wanting to take away the slot receiver, usually Gates, and force Rivers to make longer, wider throws of a wet ball through a wicked crosswind.
For obvious reasons, there were no such problems for the home opener. Not that things didn't get squirrely out there in the brilliant sunshine, too. The two offenses combined for a total of nine turnovers, six of them by the Jaguars, but the Chargers' three included an interception in the end zone of a pass off Gates' hands.
"It was kinda like a circus, something we definitely will address," said Gates. He added, "Luckily, I had a chance to redeem myself."

An UPnP Audio Media Renderer based on MPD
upmpdcli is a UPnP Media Renderer front-end for MPD, the Music Player Daemon. It supports UPnP gapless track transitions and the OpenHome ohMedia services. With a complementary application, it also supports a Linn Songcast Receiver.
The Songcast function allows you to implement a well-synchronized multi-room system to which any audio (Spotify, etc.) playing on a Windows or Mac system can be forwarded.
upmpdcli is open-source, free and licensed under the GPL. It is written in C++ and uses the libupnp (1.6) and libmpdclient libraries. As it has few and widely distributed dependancies, it is reasonably simple to install.
The latest released version is 0.11.0. See the release notes.
The typical setup is a home network with:
- A UPnP Media Server (e.g. MinimServer, Minidlna, Mediatomb, or some commercial device),
- A UPnP control point (e.g. Bubble UPnP running on a tablet or phone, Linn Kazoo on a PC/MAC, or upplay for Linux).
- MPD running on some Linux device (e.g. Raspberry PI hooked up to your bedroom stereo).
- upmpdcli running on the same host. It will be automatically discovered by the UPnP control point.
In this usage, MPD does not manage the audio files directly and its configured music directory may be empty. It fetches them from the Media Server through HTTP, using the standard curl input plugin, and does not need a local tags database (it may have one though, and remains available for normal interaction with standard MPD clients).
What's the point ? If you are running a UPnP network with multiple devices, you may prefer using a single control application (UPnP-based) for everything. MPD is a very capable and robust music-playing application, which runs well on small computers (e.g. Raspberry PI or other "plug" type computers). However it needs a specific control application. upmpdcli lets you control your MPD-based players with your UPnP control point.
There are several projects providing UPnP Renderer function on a Linux machine. Because it is written in C++, built on libupnp, and uses the well-proven MPD for the actual hard work, upmpdcli is reliable, lightweight, and effortlessy supports gapless playing. It also supports the OpenHome ohMedia interface, which is currently the nicest way to control network audio.
Known problems
- 2015-05-06
- Release 0.11 includes support for setting up multi-room audio systems with Songcast
- 2015-01-23
- A recent commit to sc2mpd seems to fix 24 bits Songcast sound for me. See the sc2mpd documentation for more information. Note: if you want to use this from a Mac, you will need mpd 0.19 configured with --disable-audiofile.
- 2015-01-21
- libupnpp version 0.10.0 is released. Only the control side is enhanced to help supporting pure OpenHome renderers. This is used by upplay and has no consequence for upmpdcli. The packaged versions of upmpdcli keep using libupnpp 0.9.0 which can be installed along with 0.10.0 (packaged as libupnpp1).
- 2014-11-12
- Version 0.9.0. Release notes. This version mainly brings support for the Songcast protocol, with help from the sc2mpd auxiliary process. See the sc2mpd documentation for more information.
- 2014-10-30
- Version 0.8.6. Very small improvements. This will be used to update those Debian packages which are still at 0.8.1 (Raspberry Pi). Due to the package structure change, you will need to use "apt-get dist-upgrade" to perform the upgrade.
- 2014-10-13
- Version 0.8.5. There are no real changes in this, we only split the libupnpp library from the main upmpdcli code. Release notes.
- 2014-10-07
- Version 0.8.3. Minor bug fixes and improvements over 0.8.2. Mostly needed if you use upplay (again).
- 2014-10-07
- Version 0.8.2. Minor bug fixes and improvements over 0.8.1. Mostly needed if you use upplay.
- 2014-09-18
- Version 0.8.1. This has very minor bug fixes and improvements over 0.8.0. It will replace 0.7.1 as the default binary release.
- 2014-08-06
- Version 0.8.0. This improves the handling of the playlist, adding persistence across restarts. See the release notes..
- 2014-06-09
- Version 0.7.1 is released. It includes very small improvements for 0.7.0 and replaces 0.6 in the local packages repository (apt users will get an automatic update next time they apt-get update).
- 2014-05-25
- Version 0.7.0 includes support for the OpenHome Media services.
- 2014-04-29
- Version 0.6.4 allows you to set a few more parameters from the configuration file: interface/ip and port to use for UPnP and MPD password.
Control points
After testing a number of UPnP control points, mostly on Android, some work better than others with upmpdcli. Here follow my notes.
- BubbleUPnP
- Android Control Point. Perfect. Both basic UPnP gapless transitions and OpenHome are supported. Supports moving the playlist from one renderer to another (nice when you move to another room!).
- PlugPlayer
- Tested on Android. This supposedly supports OpenHome, but it does not seem to detect upmpdcli as an OpenHome renderer, and reverts to using AVTransport. In AVTRansport mode it is not gapless, so this is not a good choice.
- Other Android players
- All the ones I tried (a dozen) are very bad in one way or another, and sometimes in many ways. Most sort of work. Seriously, if you are using Android, try Bubble, it has a free edition (limited to 16 tracks in the playlist), it's the only good one. I only wished they did not change the UI so often. (I have no affiliation whatsoever with Bubble, and get nothing in exchange of this recommandation).
- Kinsky
- Multi-platform OpenHome controller. I mostly tested it on Windows, where it is very nice. You should take care to select the "PlayList" service with upmpdcli, this is not always done automatically, and else Kinsky uses bare UPnP which does not work too well. The Linux version is not ready, and I did not try the Mac one.
- Kazoo
- Multi-platform OpenHome controller, the much improved replacement for Kinsky. upmpdcli versions older than 0.9.0 have a bug which send Kazoo in a loop when the Playlist is empty, you need to add at least one track with another CP, or better, switch to 0.9.0 or newer. Kazoo is still a bit quirky (recently lost the ability to play all tracks from a directory...), but it's already a nice control point.
- Lumin
- is a nice iOS OpenHome controller. It caches all the Content Directory Metadata locally and reorganizes it, which will not be to everyone's taste (no way to see the folder structure for example). Still it's free and very good if you can work with this approach.
- Upplay
- A simple UPnP audio Control Point Qt/X11 application which supports both UPnP AVTransport and OpenHome gapless. Upplay is not beautiful, but it has many useful functions, and there are very few other Control Points for the Unix/Linux desktop.
- JRiver
- This is a Windows application, which works perfectly with upmpdcli too, but it only supports bare UPnP (no OpenHome support).

Girl Scouts -- they are so much more than cookies and camping.
The organization calls itself the premier leadership organization for girls and backs up the claim with some impressive statistics. Eighty percent of female business owners at one time were Girl Scouts. That holds true for 67 percent of the women in the House of Representatives and every female astronaut who has flown in space.
Nationally, the Girl Scouts have 2.3 million members and that includes a strong showing in Western Pennsylvania -- 36,000 members, an estimated 14 percent of the region's population of girls aged 5 through 17.
Those girls are not all meeting in community center basements to create hand-made crafts, either. Younger scouts, in kindergarten and elementary schools, typically join troops and engage in joint weekly activities, but that's not a prerequisite for being a Girl Scout. Members can choose to attend only special programs, such as a series on energy conservation, or they can decide to participate just in special events, such as the annual group outing to a University of Pittsburgh women's basketball game (which is scheduled for Saturday). In addition to camping, scouts can sign on for other trips; for instance, some troops use money they earn from cookie sales to make college visits.
Girl Scouts USA has set an ambitious goal of achieving gender equality in all forms of national leadership within a generation. The Girl Scouts organization has evolved and adapted throughout its 101-year history. Don't worry, though. Some Girl Scout traditions remain. Girl Scouts still sell cookies. They're taking orders now through Jan. 25, for delicious deliveries scheduled in mid-February.
Get them while you can, with the knowledge that the dollars those sales raise will allow the Girl Scouts to continuing advancing opportunities for girls and young women.

Random Thoughts and Useless Trivia
Three things
"Okay, not a good idea," Anson corrected, his voice holding a needy rasp that made her wonder how it'd feel against her ear with sexy whispers.
Which was definitely in the vicinity of violating her Stupid Resolution. "Yeah, maybe."
"Why are you still hugging me?"
Ellory tilted her head and laid it on his good shoulder. "Because you need it. You're in pain and you're a good man. You're worried about..." She jerked her head back and looked up at him again, realization forming due to her mouth running wild again. Ruining everything.
"You have a cause." She snatched her arms back and took two big steps back from the table.
"No, I don't."
"You're trying to make the world a better place," Ellory clarified, the realization making her exceedingly cranky.
"I am?"
"Yes, you rescue people from the winter! You have a driving goal! You have a mission in life!" Her stomach hurt. The man was definitely a danger to her Stupid Resolution, and her stupid quest and her stupid everything...
"You are such a strange little thing..."
He didn't get it!
"You're my type!" She pointed a finger at him. "And I'm not supposed to be dating!"
"I haven't asked you out, sweetheart."
And he didn't get it so much that he was joking around.
Ellory's cheeks had flamed to life when she'd surged away from the table, like she had just discovered she'd been kissing a big hairy spider. "This isn't 1957. Women can ask men out."
His joking eased her enough that some of the wariness left her eyes. She just seemed unreasonably irritated by the fact that he spent half the year helping people who got in trouble in the snow. Especially considering her activities prior to coming to this little special wintery haven had all been aimed at helping people.
He shouldn't rile her up more. He should put a lid on this situation, say whatever it was that would make her relax. But she'd hugged him, she'd rubbed his feet, and then she'd kissed him back... She was so insistent on taking care of everyone, it was kind of nice to see that she had an unreasonable side.
Donning his best flirting smile, he popped his brows up a couple times. "Are you asking me out, Ellory?"
"You're not listening! I can't date you. I have a resolution!"
"You have a resolution, and I'm jeopardizing it by having a cause—which I really don't think I have."
"Yes, you do. And, yes. That's... Well, no..." She took a breath, her mouth screwing up in a way he was probably not supposed to find cute. "Having a cause is my type, but that's not the only part of my type." A few seconds passed as she looked to the side, brows pulled together, thinking, thinking... "Never mind. It's just that you're very good looking, and you smell like sex and chocolate...and Sunday morning. And now you have a mission to help others. For a second all that messed up my brain."
He could sympathize—his brain felt equally scrambled. The difference was, he liked it. And he really shouldn't. Also, her description of his scent was probably the most outlandish and fantastic compliment he'd ever been given. That overt honesty charmed him as much as her manner of speaking amused him. He shouldn't be feeling this good. His job was unfinished and someone was out there waiting for the cavalry...
Remembering that took the spirit out of it for him.

The assault on Gaza exposed not only Israel's callous disregard for international law but the gutlessness of the American press. Nearly all reporters were, as during the buildup to the Iraq war, pliant stenographers and echo chambers.
Wikimedia Commons / Agência Brasil
The BBC reports: "Any Israeli soldiers accused of war crimes in the Gaza Strip will be given state protection from prosecution overseas, the country's PM has said." At issue is Israel's use of white phosphorous, a chemical agent that is not permitted in densely populated areas because it sticks to and severely burns human tissue.
Repairing the damage that George W. Bush did to the nation's values, honor and pride will be complicated and, at times, politically inconvenient. But nothing is more urgent, and nothing will ultimately reap more benefits at home and abroad.

President Obama has asked for a stay in all military tribunals at Guantanamo Bay while his administration figures out how to handle the legal cases of the detainees still held in the island prison. The move was welcomed by Human Rights Watch and the ACLU as a positive first step.

I do not like Hamas. I detest religious fundamentalism and the use of suicide bombers. I find the group's anti-Semitism and ruthless silencing of internal Palestinian opponents repugnant. The rocket attacks on Israeli civilians are a war crime. But this does not negate the legitimacy of Palestinian resistance to the long Israeli siege and occupation of Gaza.
Following previous accusations by aid agencies, a video has surfaced amid Israel's assault on the Gaza Strip that shows images "consistent with the use of white phosphorus shells"—i.e. chemical weaponry. The Israeli military has denied use of the chemical agent, which can burn skin to the bone.
Sherry Buchanan, previously the author of "Vietnam Zippos," gathers together drawings, poems, letters and oral histories by 10 Viet Cong artists and offers a radically different view of the fighters whom Americans branded as Reds, gooks and fanatical killers.
The military is far too accustomed to getting its way, so it was refreshing to see Barack Obama reject the Pentagon's sluggish withdrawal plan. But will he stand up to Israel, whose Prime Minister Olmert recently bragged about pulling the American president's puppet strings?
U.S. Army / Sgt. Whitney Houston
Here's what Robert Gibbs, Barack Obama's top talker, had to say about whether the next president would work to end the military's policy of discrimination against gay service members: "You don't hear politicians give a one-word answer much. But it's 'Yes.' "
The people of Gaza and Israel suffer at the hands of leaders whose bewildering and savage decisions have no rationally achievable purpose.
In his eyes, there's "no such thing as short-term history." It's true that some presidencies look different after a few decades. But it's also true that presidential acts can have immediate consequences—and Bush's eight years are seen as a nadir that will take years to recover from.

Israel will, from now on, speak to the Palestinians in the language of death. And the language of death is all the Palestinians will be able to speak back. The slaughter—let's stop pretending this is a war—is empowering an array of radical Islamists inside and outside of Gaza.
The impending end of the Bush administration and the inauguration of Barack Obama pose the enormous and explosive question of what to do about those responsible for what are regarded by a significant part of the world as war crimes.
While the Israeli government, dominated by hawks in the midst of a political campaign, has escalated its assault on Gaza, there are many Israelis who are outraged by what's happening.
The president-elect has reportedly chosen Leon Panetta to head the CIA and retired Adm. Dennis Blair as director of national intelligence. Both men bring a mixed bag. Panetta is an experienced bureaucrat, but he's no James Bond. Blair has been praised for his terrorist-fighting skills, but he was criticized for a supposed conflict of interest that benefited defense contractors.
There was a time when Russia was an economic power on the rise. Sean McMeekin's new book, "History's Greatest Heist: The Looting of Russia by the Bolsheviks," explains what nipped that growth in the bud.
President-elect Obama will have more urgent matters to deal with after he takes the oath of office. But somewhere on his long to-do list, he should make a note to finally bring five decades of counterproductive American policy toward Cuba to a definitive end.
Peace is not at hand, at least not as Americans define it. Yet peace has been breaking out all over.

The free market and globalization, promised as the route to worldwide prosperity, have been exposed as a con game. We will either find our way out of this mess by embracing an uncompromising democratic socialism or we will continue to be fleeced and impoverished by our bankrupt elite.

In a rebuke to U.S. interests in the region and amid growing tensions between two nuclear powers, Pakistan is moving its forces from its border with Afghanistan—where Pakistani troops are fighting against the Taliban—and restricting soldiers from going on leave, as fears of conflict with India continue to grow.

Iraq is not Vietnam, yet there are parallels between the two wars. The American military dominated the battlefield in both conflicts, and yet America the nation emerged the loser in each. A "decent interval" is now needed for American troops to withdraw.
One of JFK's "best and brightest" died wondering how the Vietnam War could have gone so wrong. Now, in an important new book, we have some answers.
According to a new report, the U.S. has accomplished little more in Iraq than restoration of the basic services destroyed by the American invasion and the looting that followed. This is after killing or wounding—how many, a half million?—Iraqi civilians in order to liberate them. No wonder the Iraqi journalist threw his shoes at George W. Bush.
Muntadar al-Zaidi's shoe-throwing made him a hero in the Arab world, but his fate is uncertain. The reporter remains in custody, where, his brother says, he has been beaten and suffers from broken bones and internal bleeding. A Saudi man, meanwhile, has reportedly offered $10 million for the shoes that nearly struck President Bush.
Israel's siege of Gaza, largely unseen by the outside world because of Jerusalem's refusal to allow humanitarian aid workers, reporters and photographers access to Gaza, rivals the most egregious crimes carried out at the height of apartheid by the South African regime. It is meant to break Hamas, but will only breed future generations of militants.
The steady expansion of nominally illegal colonies into the Palestinian territories has gone on to the point where the political parties are now incapable of disengaging from the settlement enterprise.

The native people of the state of Roraima have won an important legal victory before Brazil's Supreme Court. With 100 similar cases hanging in the balance, the court decided to keep an Indian reservation intact, to the chagrin of farmers, loggers and even some military leaders.
The federal manslaughter indictment of five Blackwater Worldwide security guards for the horrific massacre of more than a dozen Iraqi civilians in Baghdad may look like an exercise in accountability, but it's probably the exact opposite.
In naming retired Gen. Eric K. Shinseki as veterans affairs secretary, President-elect Barack Obama made what may be the most politically and morally significant choice of his transition.

The multiple failures that beset the country can be laid at the feet of our elite universities. Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Stanford, along with most other elite schools, do a poor job educating students to think. They focus instead on creating hordes of competent systems managers.

Filmmaker Eugene Jarecki speaks with Truthdig's Kasia Anderson about his new book, whether Obama can deliver, and why the U.S. is like Elvis.
The evidence suggests that American policy under Barack Obama will be a continuation of the neoconservative foreign policy of the Bush administration, given a human face.
When the journalistic pack bites into a tasty cliché, they often refuse to let go, lazily chewing and regurgitating a phrase like "team of rivals" long after the flavor is gone.
President-elect Barack Obama introduced his principal national security Cabinet selections to the world Monday and left no doubt that he intends to start his administration on a war footing. It is revealing that his choice for national security adviser is a director of Boeing, a weapons manufacturer, and Chevron, an oil giant.
What is the message of a terrorist attack that fails to deliver a message? Threats and warnings are being exchanged by India and Pakistan over the attack on Mumbai, carried out by presumed Muslim extremists. But acting to what purpose, and under whose instructions?
Terrorism (for the umpteenth time) is a tactic, not an enemy. One of the most urgent tasks for President-elect Barack Obama's "team of rivals" is coming up with a coherent intellectual framework—and a winning battle plan—for George W. Bush's globe-spanning "war on terror."
In electing Barack Obama, the country traded the foreign policy of the second President Bush for the foreign policy of the first President Bush.
USAF / Airman 1st Class Jason Epley
What is George W. Bush thankful for? The Iraqi parliament voted Thursday to approve an agreement outlining the terms of U.S. military operations in the country. Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki described the deal, negotiated over a year, as "an agreement for the withdrawal of foreign forces from Iraq."
The Thai army is debating whether or not to intervene in a political standoff it helped launch some two years ago when it ousted then-Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. Opponents of both Thaksin and the current PM have seized and shut down Bangkok's two airports, a devastating blow to a country dependent on tourism.
USAF / Staff Sgt. Samuel Rogers
Barack Obama has no choice but to accept responsibility for America's foreign policy crises. But why should he accept them on the distorted and even hysterical terms by which the Bush administration has defined world affairs since 2001?
As President-elect Barack Obama focuses on the meltdown of the U.S. economy, another fire is burning: the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
AP photo / Kiichiro Sato, file
The swelling numbers waiting outside homeless shelters and food pantries around the country have grown by at least 30 percent since the summer. If Barack Obama continues to turn to the elites who created the mess, if he does not radically redirect the nation's resources to assist the working class and the poor, we will become a third-world country.
If the prospect of appointing Hillary Clinton as secretary of state irritates the Obama base, what will they make of keeping the man who has executed President Bush's policies at the Pentagon?
The cynical view of national sovereignty holds that it belongs only to those who can defend it. This was said recently at the Pentagon concerning American manned and unmanned attacks inside Pakistan.
U.S. Air Force / Tech. Sgt. Erik Gudmundson
American airstrikes in Pakistan aren't sitting so well with the locals. Pakistan PM Yousuf Raza Gilani summoned the U.S. ambassador for a refresher course in "sovereignty and territorial integrity" on Thursday. But according to The Washington Post, the two countries have a tacit agreement that the U.S. can keep bombing Pakistan if Pakistan can keep complaining about it.
Evo Morales knows about "change you can believe in." He also knows what happens when a powerful elite is forced to make changes it doesn't want.
One-hundred-and-four retired admirals and generals have signed a statement calling on the military to allow gay soldiers to serve openly. "Don't ask, don't tell" has lost support since the Clinton administration originally negotiated the compromise, but Barack Obama will likely avoid resurrecting one of his predecessor's biggest headaches.

War is a poison. It is a poison that nations and groups must at times ingest to ensure their survival. But, like any poison, it can kill you just as surely as the disease it is meant to eradicate.

You've heard of "Happy Hour"? One is expected to be happy due to being seated near libations rather than stuck in a traffic jam. One does not need a GPS to find such a friendly atmosphere in Alaska. Every other business entity is in the business of selling adult beverages.
Following is an attempt to rectify the earlier lack of useful knowledge:

We tolerate them so long as they spend lots of money and stay just a short time. We are happy to assist in both goals. You will be safe as long as you still have funds. When those are gone, we will assist in your escape.

Until your money runs out. At the corner of Spenard Rd and Minnesota in Anchorage.

Green. We follow the principle that money talks and b.s. walks. PM me and I will provide an address to which you can mail a money order or cashier's check for the phrase book (which will be published upon receipt of sufficient funds). We have had to convert all the signs to English. When they were in Cyrillic our target shooters couldn't decide whether to dot the i on the top or the bottom.

Before or after the bars close? In larger cities, keep to the right on divided highways or you'll cause gridlock and miss the turn-off to the latte shop. In rural areas, in keeping with local custom, stay to the left on blind corners, preferably while passing another vehicle. As a general rule, one should use the lane with the smallest oncoming traffic.

The exchange rate is favorable, i.e. from your hand to ours. (Revisit the answer to question #1.) If you let me know in advance what time you will be arriving at the border, I can make certain there is a table near Customs at which you can exchange your cash for Alaskan bills of various denominations. So you can recognize them, the ones will have a picture of Bill Eagan, the fifties will have Tony Knowles' likeness, and the hundred fifty dollar bills, the photoshopped picture of Sarah Palin in a bikini.

One would be advised to ride up the Cassiar Highway and take the side trip to Hyder. At that lonely Alaskan outpost one can get Hyderized thereby being well prepared for the remainder of the trip. The other acceptable Port of Entry is Dawson City in the Yukon. Our neighbors in that fine city can perform the same procedure with the "Sour Toe Cocktail".

Between the hours of 0100 on November 4th and 2300 on March 10th. You will likely not see another rider during that time. You can stop in at the Hot Spot to see if they are open when you come through. Chances are, however, that they will not live up to their name.

at a serious reply: Most of those trails are going to be pretty swampy and virtually impassable to a two-wheeled vehicle, especially a larger, heavier one such as a dualsport.
RS2477, as applied to Alaska, ...broadly defines highway to include a road, street, trail, walk, bridge, tunnel, drainage structure and other similar or related structure or facility, and right-of-way thereof. A.S. 19.45.001(9) (1988)
What this means is that you have no guarantee that the trail showing on the map is passable by any other than a mountain goat. Alaska, even in the arid Arctic Coastal region, is swampy across much of its landscape. Trails are very limited, and trails that are suitable for travel on a motorcycle even a dirtbike are rare. Best to wait until you arrive here, then enlist the aid of locals to show you around or point you to trails that you might find enjoyable. As always, you'll be expected to pick up the tab for after ride refreshments.

How to reset forgotten username and password on router
Computer Hope does not assist users in bypassing network security measures. However, if you forgot the username or password for a router on which you have authorized access, the following sections should be of assistance.
Default username and password
Before performing a hard reset on the router, you may want to try the default username and password. While not the same for all routers, it may grant you access.
Username: admin or administrator
Password: <Blank>, admin, or password
Tip: If you do not know your router's default router username and password, go to routerpasswords.com for a comprehensive listing.
Resetting your router
If the default username and password are not working, it has probably been changed at some point in the past by you or your network administrator. Most routers have a small pinhole button on the back or bottom (shown in the picture). Pressing and holding this button for 10-15 seconds hard resets the router. This action restores all default settings; allowing you to use the factory username and password. Once the router has been reset, you may enter the setup screen and change the password to whatever you prefer.

ACParadise Network: American Cosplay Paradise American Cosplay Experience American Cosplay Snapshots
My name is Jillian and I currently live in Indianapolis, IN. I enjoy playing video games, reading comics, and watching anime, TV, and movies.
I am typically a very quiet and introverted person. Most of the time, I'd rather stay at home and play around on the internet or have a small get together than go on a night out. I have been interested in anime and Japanese popular culture since late high school and in 2010 I became interested in cosplay. It's a growing interest of mine and I plan on developing my sewing skills, putting together many more costumes, and attending lots of conventions!
