27 year old man | Miami, FL, USA | Seeking women 23-30 within 25 miles
Enjoying our beautiful city to its fullest - looking for my partner in crime.
It's amazing to try to define one's self, no? First, I am ever curious - I always question the status quo and my mind functions to create order through simplicity. Second, I am creative and artistic - I love to cook, make photographs and sing to show people I care about them through action in my hospitality and art. Third, I am ambitious - I try to be a kinder, more empathetic, harder working, more optimistic, and more loving guy every day when I get up. Overall, being a really good man who is comfortable in his own skin is my primary aim. I grew up all over the northeast in MA, CT, ME and NH and went to college in Scotland before moving back to the states to finish studying economics. I worked in great restaurants throughout college to indulge my passion for food and entertaining. I also started and ran a catering business up north over the summers which was creative and fun as hell. It was one of many entrepreneurial projects started early - I always have some idea and the desire to test it out. I'm sure someday I will buy a farm somewhere badass on the Hudson and retire there there to spend my fall afternoons raising animals with my family, growing plants and running a restaurant with products from the property. That's a beautiful and healthy life during the warmer months (I've come to despise snow for more than a week at a time from living in Miami). There will always be a place in FL though, I like being out on the water and chilling in the sun too much to give it up for 6 months a year by being up north full-time. For now though I've chosen to get out of the service industry and indulge my more intellectual curiosities by working in management consulting in the oil and gas industry. This takes me away from Miami to the client during most weeks, but also allows me to spend stress free time relaxing in the sun over the weekend, having friends over for dinner and generally doing what makes me happy. I haven't been in a serious relationship for a few years now, and feel like I'm finally ready for that when I find the right girl. I hope to meet somebody I can have intense intellectual discussions with, a girl who will challenge me and make me be the best man I can be. I hope to find someone with balance in their life - know how to enjoy but also know how to be an adult. The perfect girl for me must also be happy to spend time cooking with and be willing to teach me her hobbies. I'm not sure this online dating is for me, but my best friend met her husband on match, and they are ADORABLE!
Business networking , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Performing arts , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting

knowledge that result from recent experience, even if the recent experience is not recalled. For example, a gunner who saw a picture of a particular weapon in a magazine the previous evening would be more likely to notice that same weapon under battlefield conditions in the field the following day, even if the magazine event were totally forgotten and unavailable.
Although the existence of implicit memory effects is well established, the importance of including them in military models and simulations is not yet clear. Therefore, the focus here is on episodic and generic storage and retrieval, both of which are essential components of any simulation of human behavior. It is important to note that retrieval in all episodic tasks relies on a combination of generic and episodic access. For example, an externally provided retrieval cue, such as a word, will first be used to access generic, lexical, and semantic knowledge, which will join the surface features in a probe of episodic traces. A soldier prompted by a loud sound to recall the position of a recently seen tank, for example, will automatically be prompted to access long-term memory for associations with such a sound, perhaps recovering knowledge of the sorts of weapon systems that produce such a sound. The issue of whether both types of retrieval occur in episodic retrieval is largely independent of whether both must be included in a simulation; that answer depends on the particular application.
Short-term memory is the term used most often when one is interested more in the retention properties of the short-term system than in the control operations involved. Conversely, working memory is the term used most often when one is concerned with the operations carried out in active memory. These are not universal usages, however, and there is no hard and fast line between the two terms. The retention properties of the short-term systems are still an active area of study today, and there is no shortage of mathematical and simulation models of the retention of item and order information (e.g., Schweikert and Boruff, 1986; Cowan, 1993). Models of working memory that address the control of cognition are still in their infancy, and until very recently dealt only with certain specific control processes, such as rehearsal, coding, and memory search. What seems to be clear is that a successful model of short-term memory (and of memory in general) must deal with both the retention and control properties of the system. It seems clear that a model useful for military simulations must incorporate both aspects. Recent models of working memory are increasingly modular, with greater limitations of capacity within rather than between functional modules. Examples are the Soar architecture (e.g., Laird et al., 1987), the adaptive control of thought (ACT)-R model (Anderson, 1993), and the recent executive-process interactive control (EPIC) model of Meyer and Kieras (1997a); these are discussed in detail in Chapter 3.
Having pointed out the need for such a model, we must also note that a

This page describes a quick-and-dirty SSHD setup on Windows XP using Cygwin. This is not official installation instructions for Cygwin, nor does it necessarily result in an enterprise quality setup. Just the minimum needed to get going.
- You must be logged in as a user with Administrator privileges
- Create folder C:\cygwin
Download and Install Cygwin (1.7.6) OpenSSH
- Go To http://www.cygwin.com/ and click "Install or update Cygwin now!"
- Save setup.exe to your desktop
- Run setup.exe
- Install from Internet (default)
- Install Root Directory: C:\cygwin (default)
- Install for All Users (default)
- Local package directory: C:\cygwin\packages
- Set proxy if needed
- Select a download site
- Select Packages
- Search for openssh. It is under the Net category.
- Locate openssh and click "Skip" to select it.
- Click Next. It will list unmet dependencies. Leave "Select required packages" checked and click Next
- The packages will install
- Click Finish
- You now have a basic cygwin installation that includes ssh/sshd
Configure and start sshd
- Make sure that your Windows system has user accounts created for all user that you want to be able to access the system via SSH. It seems to work best if those users have passwords set.
- Double Click on Cygwin icon. This starts a cygwin terminal
- In my case I did not have a password associated with my account and sshd was not allowing me to authenticate until I set a password. So I did this:
- $ passwd yourusername
- enter new password
- This also sets the password on your Windows account
- Run: ssh-host-config, answer "yes" to all questions (take the defaults)
- Start sshd: 'net start sshd'
Set Window's Path
Make sure your Window's Path has the Cygwin bin directory in it (C:\cygwin\bin). You can do this via the System Information control panel. Click Advanced, then Environment Variables and modify the value of the Path environment variable.
- From another system ssh into your Window's box using the username and password for your Windows account:
- ssh -l username windowsbox.com
- If this works your basic Windows SSHD setup is complete
Using with GlassFish 3.1
- To use immediately use the system with GF with SSH password authentication see option 3 in: 3.1SSHAuthentication
- If you want to use key authentication then see the information here: 3.1SSH Setup
How to install OpenSSH sshd server on Windows
Jan 10, 2011
In combination with http://wikis.sun.com/display/GlassFish/GlassFishProvisioning I succeeded to deploy my app on GF 3.1 (build 35) using SSH on Windows. However, our hosts are part of an active directory environment (Windows domain). I did not manage to install Cygwin properly using my domain account. I was forced to create a local account on each host machine. I used the local account to install Cygwin and used the --sshuser argument to provide the local user account. Then it worked just fine.

Avid gamer! South-Africa's gaming scene is mostly focused on western games so games like S.ta.l.k.e.r is GOLD here! (For me at least)
0 comments by Bolognius_Maximus on May 18th, 2010
Hi guys and girls.
So I thought I might as well create a little blog to rant and rave in about some random info.
First let me rant a bit about myself. I'm a young guy living in South-Africa, I have some random hobbies which include diving from waterfalls. I love art, especially the digital type! I'm a graphic designer by profession, not high ranking or anything but I believe my style of design is pretty unique and not too bad. Been doing it for about 5 years now, of which 3 years are professional.
I love playing games. I love the idea of just escaping reality and going into this virtual world where you can be what is impossible to be in real life. Like say a dragon slayer! Yeah...
So some of my favorite games include oldies and new ones such as:
1. Deus Ex
2. Unreal Tournament series
3. S.t.a.l.k.e.r series
4. Dragon Age
5. Command & Conquer series
6. Red Faction series
7. Space simulators such as Vega Strike
8. Half Life series
10. And probably a bunch of other games I can't think of.
I mostly play on computer using Windows OS. I don't own anything like a playstation although it would have been nice to have one.
Anyone have something to say? GO AHEAD!

Yeah, the temperament and behaviour of your climate somewhat looks like ours. Hot summers, bone chilling cold winters, but in exchange depressive autumns.

Working or anything? Just curious.

Gauss as in your screen's color ratio. See how there's a lot of white on that screenshot? Well either you are playing on a very old CRT, your brightness is set too high/ the gauss is too high or your screen is broken.
yo, thanks for adding :D

Overnight pull through very tight for 43' DP due to tree (not even for shade). Stayed in pull-through Nov '14. Pull-through sites are close together. Roads are blacktop but sites are dirt and gravel. Monthly sites are wide but 43' is max and all are in full sun. March '15 stayed one month. Assist manager checked us in and told us how to park. The next day she called to tell us to reverse direction. That would put utilities on wrong side! Manager came to site and told us to change yet another way. I asked for compensation due to my inconvenience and manager said, "No and what about my inconvenience." Really? She's the manager! She said they don't take 43' DP but 2 others were in park! I guess it depends on the day if they'll take over 40'. Regulars agreed manager is awful.
Convenient park but we'll never return. - sawdustsal

Stayed one night while visiting friends in the area. Campground is easy to access from the highway but getting back on to the highway was a bit more complicated in the morning given our route. Internal roads are paved and wide. The area of the park where the overnight pull-throughs are located are a bit narrow and it took a bit of navigation to get into our site. Sites are gravel, mostly level, and tight for our size - 44ft MH with a tow. They were however, long enough to keep the car attached. One is able to get the slides out but you are quite close to your neighbor's slides. There is a dirt dog park but it was OK as it was not filled burrs and pickers so the dog could walk around comfortably. The park was clean and quiet. Given the tight navigation for our MH, I am uncertain if we would stay again, but it would work if needed. - LvR

We stayed here for 12 nights. The site we were assigned at check-in already had a rig assigned. It was a surprise to the management; the previous camper has not checked out. We were reassigned to a site without sewer or electricity. Maintenance was very responsive once the problems were reported. Our back-in site was very spacious. In fact, most of the back-in sites are quite spacious. After the initial chaotic check-in our stay has been very pleasant. The common areas were kept very clean during our entire stay. This resort provides excellent mail service with a designated on-site Post Office. Be forewarned that WiFi is available but not free. - gartail

This is an older park that is in need of infrastructure upgrades. The roads are deteriorating as are the parking aprons. More problematic though is the park's managements disregard of the park rules for their full timers! Our 45 foot Class A filled our site so I was told to park our toad outside the entry gate in the over flow parking area. Full timers however had up to 3 vehicles parked around their rigs blocking the roads. We had to pull forward through 2 empty parking spaces to find a navigable path out of the park! We will look for another park in the future! - Stealth01

Nice little park: quiet, clean showers/bathrooms, spotless pool and laundry area. Nice spacing between sites and convenient to freeway but a couple of miles down the road, so there was no freeway noise. Fruit trees at most sites. The only thing they need to do is repave the interior roads as the asphalt is cracked up. - gtogrl

We had covered parking in the employee area by reserving 3 months earlier. This is an ideal location for the West Valley. Dog walks are pleasant with available trails close by.

It was a bit difficult to find the campsites in this park. Follow the signs for the Arena and you'll get there. The park also offers primitive camping for $10.00 per night. I saw what appeared to be these sites near the day use park and none looked capable of handling even a pop-up camper. There are seven total sites with full hook-ups, one occupied by the campground host. These are gravel, perpendicular back-ins and a bit tough to get in. But once in you'll find a beautiful smooth concrete patio with picnic tables and a great view. Despite what is noted in earlier reviews, each of these sites has 20, 30 and 50amp electric service, water and sewer. The sites are adjacent to a rodeo arena and the host said he could hook up "one or two" units at the arena with 20amp service and water. I examined this and you would need very long utility cords and hoses and the sites would be unlevel. There are no restrooms at the campground but while I was there the arena restrooms were open and clean. No showers. The host said that the hook-up sites fill up with park volunteers for the winter season from October until around May. I arrived to find only two sites available. Also note that the park is very close to Phoenix International Raceway. - SteveSox

Apple Cake for Rosh Hashanah
For honey cake haters.
For honey cake haters.
Growing up, I never liked the honey cakes that invariably turned up on Rosh Hashanah tables. Whether store bought or homemade, they always struck me as dry and a bit musty–like the cake equivalent of grandma's floral curtains. Luckily, my family's dessert of choice for the Jewish New Year was almost always apple cake. The recipe my mother made favors a high ratio of fruit to batter, which results in an incredibly moist, crumby cake that is evenly studded with sweet bites of apple. And like many Jewish apple cakes, it relies on canola oil instead of butter, making it a suitable pareve dessert for both meat and dairy meals.
How Do You Like Them Apples?
On Rosh Hashanah, every apple is special. Still, when it comes to baking, some work better than others. The two golden rules for baking with apples are: stick to in-season varieties and use an apple that is hearty enough to hold up against oven heat. "There's nothing so disappointing as serving up a good-looking apple cake or tart, only to find that the apples are not juicy inside, or rock hard [or complete mush] after prolonged baking " warns Marcy Goldman, author of A Treasury of Jewish Holiday Baking. Goldman wisely suggests consulting an apple chart (like this one), or visiting a nearby farmers' market and experimenting until you find your perfect match.
Mom's Apple Walnut Cake
This moist, hearty cake also works really well poured into muffin cups. If you prefer to serve it as a healthy breakfast or brunch cake instead of dessert, replace one cup of flour with whole wheat flour and fold 1/4 cup finely ground flax seeds into the batter along with the apples and walnuts.
- 3 cups Golden Delicious or Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and chop
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup canola oil
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups flour
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- Turbinado sugar (for sprinkling on top)
Combine flour, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda in a medium bowl and set aside.
In a second bowl, mix together sugar, oil, and vanilla. Add eggs one at a time and stir to combine. Pour wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until thoroughly combined. Fold in apples and walnuts (the batter will be thick).
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two loaf pans and spread half of the batter into each pan. Sprinkle the tops of each loaf with a little sugar and bake for approximately one hour, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle of the cake comes out clean.

Great recipe! Want to try more healthy alternatives such as coconut oil, applesauce, and brainless flours like coconut or almond flour.. Made a double recipe and used up all of my juicer pulp. Kale, chard, carrot, apple, strawberry, Asian pear, kiwi, beets, and broccoli! Along with walnuts, I added about 1/4 cup of flaxseeds to round off the cup of nuts/seeds. Every one loves it! It's going fast and is great with my morning juice!
tasted bad, i guess i don't like zucchini.
Loved this bread! I used the pulp from an orange bell pepper, 2 large carrots, 1/4 lime, an apple, 1 cup of broccoli florets, and a medium tomato, and it was absolutely delicious. Olive oil instead of butter, honey instead of sugar. This bread tastes a little like a dessert because of the amount of honey. Might want to cut back just a smidge if you don't want it sweet, but I also had a small amount of fruit in my pulp.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Charl Schwartzel gave this Masters a finish it deserved.
On an amazing Sunday at Augusta National, where the roars came from everywhere and for everyone and didn't stop until it was over, Schwartzel emerged from the madness by becoming the first Masters champion to close with four straight birdies.
His final putt from 20 feet curled into the side of the cup for a 6-under 66, the best closing round at the Masters in 22 years. It gave the 26-year-old South African a two-shot victory over Australians Adam Scott and Jason Day.
"Just an exciting day," Schwartzel said. "So many roars, and that atmosphere out there was just incredible. A phenomenal day."
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — One of the five charges in Barry Bonds' perjury trial has been dropped and the defense has rested without calling a single witness.
Bonds' attorney Allen Ruby announced the move Wednesday morning, which means the slugger will not take the stand in his own defense against charges that he lied to a federal grand jury by saying he never knowingly used performance-enhancing drugs.
The jury of eight-women and four men was sent home and ordered to return Thursday to begin deliberations after hearing closing arguments and instructions from the judge.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — This NCAA tournament had plenty of twists, turns and upsets even before the championship game. Gary Blair and Texas A&M delivered a thrilling ending.
This was the supposed to be the year Maya Moore's Connecticut juggernaut won its third straight title or Stanford broke through or Tennessee got back to the top.
Instead, the Aggies rewrote the script in their first Final Four appearance. They made the 65-year-old Blair the oldest coach to win a national championship just one night after UConn's 68-year-old Jim Calhoun did the same thing on the men's side.
HOUSTON (AP) — John Calipari didn't come up with the "one-and-done" rule.
Didn't write it. Didn't implement it. The Kentucky coach didn't even really approve of it when the NBA decided in 2006 that players needed to be a year removed from high school before heading to the pros.
Yet Calipari has mastered it in a way few of his peers have, pulling off a seemingly impossible task season after season: molding the nation's top recruiting class into NBA-ready pros in six short months while somehow getting them to buy into the team-first concept in the process.
Kentucky plays Connecticut in its first Final Four game in 13 years Saturday with a roster headlined by freshmen Brandon Knight, Terrence Jones and Doron Lamb.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Don Mattingly's phone buzzed with text messages of good luck to the new Los Angeles Dodgers manager on opening day. The man who had groomed him for the job didn't check in.
No slight intended, though. Retired manager Joe Torre was in Hawaii on Thursday, having talked to Mattingly a few days earlier.
Now it was time for his protege to go to work on his own.
"No Vince Lombardi today," he said. "We've been laying out what we expect from guys all (spring) camp long."
And the Dodgers lived up to it in a 2-1 win over the rival San Francisco Giants.
Depending on which side of "The Pond" you're on, arguably the biggest event in the realm of golf is upon us once again.
Monday begins the practice rounds at Augusta National, which hosts The Masters tournament.
With the possible exception of St. Andrews, Augusta is the most storied course in golf. Augusta has hosted some of the most exciting (I'm using "exciting" in relative terms, of course) golf that has ever been witnessed.
As a player I met a few years ago told me, "the grass is like carpet" at Augusta. There is little about the place that isn't eye-catching, even for the non-golfer.
DALLAS (AP) — When the NCAA brackets came out, Texas A&M coach Gary Blair knew his team would have to get past top-seeded Baylor to get to the Final Four for the first time.
Well, when it mattered most, the Aggies finally beat Baylor and 6-foot-8 All-American Brittney Griner.
After eight consecutive losses to its Big 12 rivals, including the previous three this season, Sydney Carter got Texas A&M off to a fast start and went on to score 22 points in a 58-46 victory over the top-seeded Bears in the Dallas Regional final.
Even in the unpredictable, anything-goes world of March Madness, this is a Final Four nobody saw coming.
Kentucky, Connecticut, Butler and Virginia Commonwealth — the improbable, the implausible, the unthinkable and the downright unimaginable.
In one game in Houston next Saturday, No. 4 seed Kentucky will play No. 3 Connecticut — not a completely absurd thought as a Final Four matchup, though hardly a popular pick given their up-and-down regular seasons.
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Derrick Williams carried Arizona in the first half, keeping the Wildcats in the game against Duke. His teammates returned the favor in the final 20 minutes with an offensive barrage that stunned the defending national champions.
Williams scored 25 of his career-high 32 points in the first half of Arizona's 93-77 victory Thursday night, helping the Wildcats reach the final eight for the first time since 2005.
"As a team, we came together and willed ourselves to win," said Lamont Jones, who added 16 points. "Derrick is a great player, but we all contribute."

Then it´s quite simple, start by opening all cable wrapping and think.
Then first wire ignition which should be easy since nothing should be changed since original. Then wrap all ignition in own tubes separated from lighting, so that you wont mix it up with lighting when you stand in the middle of nowhere trying to locate an electrical problem.
Then comes lighting and since it´s a bajadesigns everything is fed to the reg/rec and from there to the battery. From the battery you should feed it to a nice heavy duty fuseblock easily accessible.
From there I recommend that you make 6 groups:
1. Front lighting
2. Navigation
3. Backup to navigation
4. E-start
5. Rear light
6. Indicators
By this method it´s easy just to remove the fuse from non necessary groups and just limp home with working navigation and perhaps lighting in case that something breaks down.

Are Gift-Tax Rules Going to Change?
Q: I heard a rumor that Congress is about to change the rules on gift taxes and cut the lifetime exclusion amount to $1 million (from the current $5 million), effective late this month or next. What have you heard?
— C.R., New York
A: While anything is possible in this volatile economic and political climate, several tax experts say this rumor appears to be groundless.
"It does appear to be just a rumor, and I think it's extraordinarily unlikely" that such a change would win congressional approval, says Catherine Grevers Schmidt, a partner at Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler LLP and head of the law firm's trusts and estates department.
Even so, Ms. Schmidt adds there "has been a lot of chatter about this" among trusts and estates lawyers recently.
There has been speculation about what may emerge later this month from a special congressional committee tasked with coming up with ways to slash the federal budget deficit. Known formally as the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, but better known simply as the supercommittee, it was created by a law enacted this summer during the dispute over raising the U.S. debt ceiling and averting what would have been an historic default.
"Anyone who says they know what the supercommittee is doing does not," says Clint Stretch, managing principal, tax policy at Deloitte Tax LLP in Washington, D.C. Members of the committee "have not reached agreement on the big-picture questions of whether to raise taxes or cut Medicare," he says. And they certainly haven't agreed on such fine details as those mentioned in the rumor our reader is asking about.
Republicans "have been firmly committed to cutting or eliminating transfer taxes," Mr. Stretch says. "Reducing the gift-tax exclusion would look like a signal that they are going in the other direction. That's hard to imagine."
I agree, but there's no way to be sure. Thus, Ms. Schmidt says some lawyers, to be safe, are urging clients who are thinking of making major gifts soon to make them now.

When the Budget Control Act became law in 2011, just about everybody agreed it was the wrong way to deal with deficits. In fact, one reason it won congressional approval was the widespread belief that fear of its consequences would force Democrats and Republicans to agree on more reasonable measures for righting federal finances. However, that did not happen, and now the political culture has settled into an expectation that, bad though it may be, the budget act will remain law into the next next decade.
If it does, the United States might lose the next big war it fights. In order to understand why, you need to grasp the state of the nation's defenses when the act became law and the way in which it impacts various types of military spending. Contrary to what much of the media coverage has reported, the Budget Control Act does not impose "across-the-board" cuts on federal spending. It exempts from cuts most of the big entitlement programs that are the real drivers of budget deficits — entitlement spending will increase roughly a trillion dollars annually during the current decade — while disproportionately targeting defense.
To make matters worse, it only targets some types of military spending, leaving pay and benefits for current and retired personnel — both military and civilian — largely unscathed. So the burden of generating $600 billion in budget savings over nine years falls mainly on the twin pillars of U.S. military superiority — readiness and technology. Other countries can match the U.S. in number of military units, but where they lag America is in areas such as warfighting proficiency, technological sophistication, and the sustainment of combat gear. It is these facets of military might that the Budget Control Act is rapidly unraveling.
Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel has warned Congress repeatedly that if there is no relief from the requirements of the budget law — which uses a mechanism known as "sequestration" to limit the availability of money — then the U.S. will lose its warfighting edge. For instance, on February 24 of this year he stated in a press briefing that, "the only way to implement sequestration is to sharply reduce spending on readiness and modernization, which would almost certainly result in a hollow force — one that isn't ready or capable of fulfilling assigned missions." In other words, a force that might be defeated by a better-equipped and better-trained adversary.
Many politicians and pundits don't get this. They look at the fact that America is still outspending the next dozen military powers combined, and conclude the Budget Control Act isn't all that bad. After all, the budget caps imposed by the sequestration process only cut $55 billion annually from a defense budget that this year will still total ten times that much when funding of overseas contingencies is included. The problem, though, is how and where the cuts occur, and what reductions had already taken place before the Budget Control Act became law. When you analyze how the act apportions cuts, it becomes obvious how the law could lead to military defeat.
Let's take modernization as an example — the term Pentagon policymakers use for investing in new technology. Fielding advanced military technology has long been the most important way in which the joint force compensated for the numerical superiority of adversaries. But by the time the Budget Control Act was implemented, the joint force had already experienced several waves of reductions to its technology budget. First, Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney terminated a hundred weapons programs when the Cold War ended — everything from the Seawolf submarine to the B-2 bomber. Then the Clinton Administration repeatedly deferred a promised restoration of military investment outlays. Then defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld's plans for "military transformation" were derailed by the global war on terror.
The last stage of this downward trajectory in technology spending prior to passage of the budget law came during the first Obama Administration, when defense secretary Robert Gates canceled a slew of major weapons programs ranging from the Air Force's F-22 fighter to the Navy's missile-defense cruiser to the Army's planned family of networked combat vehicles. The administration later acknowledged that virtually all of the savings it had generated in the military budget during its first two years in office came from cutting outlays for weapons.
(Disclosure: Several major weapons-makers contribute to my think tank; some are consulting clients.)
So by the time the Budget Control Act began being implemented in early 2013, Pentagon outlays for new technology were at a low ebb. The Air Force was flying 50-year-old bombers and tankers, the Army was relying mainly on combat systems funded in the Reagan years, and the Navy's annual shipbuilding budget amounted to only about one day of federal spending at prevailing rates. And what did the Budget Control Act do? It cut military spending on new technology even further. To quote the Pentagon's most recent estimate of sequestration impacts, legislatively mandated spending reductions during the balance of the decade would unfold "with one-third of the cuts being taken in Operations and Maintenance (O&M) accounts and two-thirds in the modernization accounts."
O&M is the main account funding readiness. Modernization encompasses research, development and procurement of military technology. So as I said, the problem with defense sequestration isn't just that funding levels are well below what is needed to execute current strategy, but the way in which some key accounts are hit much harder than others — especially technology. Consider the Army. It has nearly ceased developing new combat systems, having canceled development of next-generation armored vehicles, air defenses, and reconnaissance helicopters. It is also curtailing outlays for a new battlefield communications network, officially its top modernization priority.
Other services are facing similar problems. The Marine Corps has been forced to defer plans for a new amphibious landing craft. The Navy is having trouble finding money for a replacement of its Ohio-class ballistic missile subs — arguably the most important modernization initiative in the whole joint portfolio. The Air Force says it may have to retire its entire fleet of KC-10 tankers, at a time when the global reach afforded by aerial refueling is becoming more important. Meanwhile, vital investments in intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance assets that would help U.S. warfighters to pinpoint elusive adversaries are not being made, and defense of the homeland against missile attack is getting only a few hours worth of federal funding annually.
Not that the readiness accounts are faring much better. If spending caps required by the budget law are imposed in 2016 and beyond after a modest respite in 2014 and 2015, the Army will only be able to fund 65% of the heavy maintenance needs for its ground vehicles, and the Navy will only be able to cover about 70% of ship and aircraft repairs. So the backlog of unusable equipment will gradually build up to a point where much of the force isn't available on short notice. The Air Force will see critical readiness accounts such as training ranges and military exercises significantly underfunded, grounding aircraft and pilots alike.
Although the joint force exited Iraq in a high state of readiness and continues to acquit itself well in Afghanistan, it doesn't take long for a military that relies on heavy training and cutting-edge technology to run down once the money is cut off. And that's what the Budget Control Act does. At a time when defense spending represented less than a fifth of federal spending, it mandated that half of all deficit reductions come from the military budget; it then allocated cuts within the military budget in a fashion that did the greatest harm to the sinews of strength on which the joint force most depends. If this pattern of spending cuts persists through the end of the decade, military defeat in a future conflict is a real danger.

What women who can't get laid turn to when lesbians don't want to be around them, either.
Feminism - why just bitch to your friends when you can pretend to be oppressed and annoy everyone?
de amfx22000 07 Ianuarie 2009
A bastardized corruption of the word "Favoritism".
Feminism: I got the house, the mercedes, half his net worth and the kids, because I'm a member of an oppressed group!
de Counter-Feminist 27 Iulie 2010
Feminism is a word that means equal rights for women. Technically, most feminists should actually be called humanists. I'll ignore that since it was, and to some extent still is an important movement. Way back in the day, life was pretty damn bad for women everywhere. No vote, no driving, you know about that stuff anyway. Eventually, much of the inequality dissappeared, thanks to the hard wark of early feminism. Sadly some still persist to this day. Fortunately, most people accept that such social changes are bound to be gradual, and eventually, true equality will exist. This is the type of world that everyone should strive to live in, not just feminists. But alas, in more recent times, there has been a growing movement of "militant feminism". This is alternatively known as female chauvenism, and feminazism. These people often demand MORE rights than men have, usually by arguing that they are superior to men and blame men for everything. Yes men started wars. Are you saying that women wouldn't have? Hilary Clinton supported the Iraq war. Margeret Thatcher sent troops to the Falklands. To propagate such a view on men is a sexist view you chauvenist pig-bitch. Such a view is not part of feminism, or at least it's original usage of the word. These people are betraying the women who fought for their rights. Possibly the worst part about them is that they are either the prevalent female authors and commenters for feminism on urban dictionary, or that these women are denying the existence female sexism that has taken seed among the femism movement. I've talked to these people. In real life. Not on the net. They DO exist.
Feminist of the militant variety(Yes, she actually said this):"It's not fair to generalise women, men allways do that" and "men shouldn't have any say in abortion"
Me:"I'd say TITS OR GTFO, but you're pretty damn fuck-fugly)
Feminism gets a bad name because of these asshats

A spent force. It "coulda been a contender," but it was so blinded by its own arrogance that, given enough rope to hang itself, it duly did so.
Feminism represents the the most self-destructive act of political hi-jacking in American women's history.
de Andrea Strand 03 Februarie 2008
True feminism is something rarely seen today, and is the belief that all people are equal, regardless of sex. Modern feminism is when a woman thinks she's better than men because she has a vagina.
1) True feminism - "I'm a feminist because I believe that women should be given equal rights to men."
2) Modern feminism - "I'm a feminist because females are superior to men and men are here to serve women."
2) Modern feminism - "I'm a feminist because females are superior to men and men are here to serve women."
de BoboJim 12 Ianuarie 2007
Feminism was women's way of saying goodbye to men. Now men are beginning to say goodbye to women.
Some people blame radical feminism for driving a wedge between men and women. In reality, most women are happy to reap the rewards of policies implemented as a result of this hate movement.
de Samuel Cameron 05 Septembrie 2007
The movement which seeks to place women above men and trample men into the dirt. Feminists will tell you that their aim is to bring about equality, but equality ceased to be the aim of feminism years ago. Women are now (and have been for at least 5-10 years) given exactly the same treatment in every area of life as men. Women / Feminists now wish to take over -- far from equality.
Joe: So Jane, tell me about Feminism.
Jane: Shut up!

Jury selection is expected to begin Wednesday in the election fraud case against veteran political consultant Julius Henson after a Baltimore judge rejected a defense request to throw out the charges.
Baltimore Circuit Judge Emanuel Brown ruled Tuesday that the laws Henson is accused of breaking — stemming from misleading "robocalls" on Election Day 2010 — are constitutional.
Brown did dismiss one of the three conspiracy charges against Henson, saying it was redundant. Henson still faces two counts of conspiracy to violate election laws, one count of election fraud and one count of failing to include a campaign authority line on the call.
Henson, 62, is accused of using false information in an effort to suppress the black vote through an automated call which told voters in Baltimore and Prince George's County to "relax" and stay home. The call implied that Gov. Martin O'Malley, a Democrat, had won his race against former Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr., a Republican. Deputy State Prosecutor Thomas "Mike" McDonough called the attempt to mislead voters "reprehensible."
Defense lawyer Edward Smith Jr. told the court he did not dispute the basic facts in the prosecutors' case against his client, but argued that the call was protected free speech.
"They have a right to tell them not to go to the polls, even if they're wrong, even if it's a lie," Smith argued, adding that people who fall for such deception are the responsible parties. "There is a choice that you make to be stupid."
Smith indicated several times that he was making his point in part to create a record on which to appeal the case should his client be found guilty at trial.
"I know this is a highfalutin' argument for the state court system," he said.
Brown also rejected an attempt by Smith to gain access to the state prosecutor's investigative files concerning a probe into a 2010 robocall attacking a candidate in an election for Washington County commissioner. Smith said he wanted to show jurors that the state prosecutor's office had declined to bring charges in other investigations into robocalls.
"This is a confidential file that is totally irrelevant to this case," Maryland State Prosecutor Emmet C. Davitt countered. "Our office gets literally hundreds of complaints. ... I determined this case did not merit prosecution."
Henson was working as a consultant to Ehrlich's campaign when the robocalls were made. Ehrlich's campaign manager, Paul Schurick, was convicted in December of four counts in connection with the call. Schurick, who faces 12 years in prison, is scheduled to be sentenced next week.
Schurick's defense team also tried to have his case dismissed on free-speech grounds. The judge in Schurick's trial, Lawrence P. Fletcher-Hill, declined to do so, characterizing the call's message as "plainly fraudulent."

Love telling my computer all about my life
I think I'll just make it real simple and touch on a few key notes about myself. If you read it through, you'll know enough about me to make up your mind. Let's start with looks: see the photos, but here's a more detailed description. I have dark (short at the moment) hair that never been colored into red, purple, blue or any other colors of the rainbow that aren't shades of brown (not my kind of style). I never had a mohawk and 100% sure never will (once again, not my thing). I don't have any abnormal piercings (only ears) and no tattoos (self-expression only through my words and actions). I keep myself healthy and in good shape, but don't go crazy with diets and excessive gym attendance (what can I say? I love my extra bloody steak every once in a while). I'm all for regular exercise, but if you're obsessed with going to the gym and pumping iron 24/7 so you can look like a useless gorilla, I'm totally not your type. Think this way, if your friends are inviting you over for an occasion but you say "I can't come until I go to the gym for a couple of hours", you can stop reading this. My hobbies: if only I had the time... My interests are so broad I don't have enough space to describe them. Let's say it this way, if you had all the time in the world, what exactly would you fill your days with? my answer would be the following: I would read everything Christopher Moore ever written; would learn how to cook professionally; would learn all I can about things such as computers (my knowledge is limited to on/off button on my laptop), cars (can't fix a tire to save my life), politics, bikes, sports and so on; I would watch every history documentary ever made; would learn how to dance salsa; would learn how to ride a horse, would learn how to play piano (and maybe guitar); would take long road trips to places I've never been to without a map; would climb all the mountains in this state; would run after a ball with my dog until we both have our tongues on our shoulders; would volunteer at Seattle zoo and hang with the penguins; would go skiing to Steven's pass every weekend and would take lessons in kite surfing cause that is my new favorite water sport, although I'm still at the stage of flying after the kite and falling flat on water most of the time. These are just some things I would do. What I actually do is not as exciting. I'm a full-time student with a part-time job in psych research lab. My idea of a great evening ranges from a night at home watching family guy or friends episode, to a night out at the club dancing my feet off. My personality is just ordinary: I'm easily approachable, can be totally casual, but will hold my own quiet well when an occasion calls for a high society gal. I do have a slight accent, but I don't think you'll ever guess where I was born. If you want to get to know more about me, all you need to do is start talking to me. What I'm looking for in a guy? well, think of what you're looking for in a girl - - -and there's your answer :)
Book club , Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games , Volunteering
Aerobics, Dancing, Running, Skiing, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Cats
I like Dogs, Exotic Pets, Horses
My cat is your average independent, goofy and very loud kitty. I also pretty much share custody with my roommate of her lovely pit bull.
Anywhere people are able to relax and have fun! Globally, Italy by far would be a definite hot spot.
University of Washington, Seattle, WA
I listen to all kinds of music. It ranges from Frank Sinatra (although only a couple of songs my mom got me into), to Nirvana, and yes, occasional Rihanna when I'm feeling super girlie.
I love movies! No westerns though, or anything that has "speed" in its title. Other than that, reading, playing video games (very rarely though), people watching downtown folks and so on.
I'm struggling through Game of Thrones books the size of your average encyclopedias, but most of my reading nowadays involves scientific literature and chemistry manuals.

Courthouse entrance critiqued
Voting machine won't fit; security may be issue
The new courthouse security entrance is safer than the original, according to Wichita County Judge Woody Gossom.
And a voter room positioned at the entrance that sat unused for this round of early voting will, in fact, be used for voting in future elections after some minor adjustments are made, Gossom said.
The $1.59 million renovation that remodeled the courthouse's entrance and its second floor came under fire Tuesday by 89th District Court Judge Mark Price.
He criticized Gossom and his design team for creating a voting room at the entrance that had to be abandoned for this election because it was too small for the voting equipment.
He also faulted them for creating what Price said is a more dangerous entryway that compromises security for anyone working or visiting the courthouse.
At the entrance, architects with Harper Perkins Architects added thick glass walls and repositioned security guards and their screening station away from the entrance. The security team now searches for contraband at a station set up against the wall.
Price said the new arrangement prevents security guards from seeing activity on the sidewalk leading up to the entrance and that the glass walls prevent officers from making a clear shot at an armed intruder.
Gossom disagreed.
Gossom said the old arrangement positioned the security guards in the line of fire, a target at the end of a long walkway. They were easy prey to a straight shot fired from anywhere on the sidewalk.
"We don't have that (danger) now," Gossom said.
Sheriff David Duke consulted on the redesign, Gossom said. It also included new glass walls that set up a specific entrance door and exit door, with a glassed walkway in between.
Price said the heavy glass prevents the security guards from taking a clean shot at a gunman.
Gossom defended the new design, saying it offered a better, safer situation than the original.
"With the glass, they can see (who is entering the building) but it's not wide open," he said. "In the other arrangement, there was not as much time for reaction as they have now."
As for the voting room, its doors will open after some minor changes are made.
No one measured how far the voting machines flare out when they are operational, so the footprint of the machines was incorrect, he said.
"There wasn't time to rearrange that," Gossom said. But moving early voting equipment upstairs for this presidential election, with its heavy turnout, was probably a good
idea, he said.
The original plan that weekend voters could slip in and out of the small voting room at the entrance of the courthouse without having to have a deputy on duty will still work, he said.
For little cost, the voting machines will be set on different types of stands that will work more efficiently in the small room, he said.
When the room isn't used for voting, it will be used as a meeting or training room for courthouse employees, Gossom said.

As salamu alaikum. Please review in the book " Guidelines for Raising Children" of this collection books, the subject about circumcision where it says that in the females it should be cut the clitoris. As I know what is recommended about the females circumcision is to cut part of the lips when they are big. I think this is a mistake related with translation because doesn't have base on sunah or Quran take the sexual pleasure from females. Thank you so much!

which is a highly collaborative effort involving teams of physicians, pharmacists, nurses, diabetes educators, and patients. Such research will help identify best practices, which are to be preferred over a regulatory approach.
While regulation is not favored as the primary approach to solve drug labeling problems, there may be some role for regulation. For example, the NABP plays an important role in developing model regulations for review and use by the 50 state boards of pharmacy. In moving forward to address the kinds of issues raised here, thought could be given to a national collaboration that would examine how to implement some of the best practices we know exist. There are numerous stakeholders that should participate in such an effort, many of whom have already been identified. Although it is important to hold discussions of how to proceed, action is also necessary.
One participant asked, since those on the panel appear to favor moving forward with standardization and the recommendations in the ACP Foundation white paper, who should lead that effort? Goldhammer responded that the leader should come from the field of pharmacy. Townzen suggested that the NCPDP would be an appropriate leader. That organization has been identified by the Consolidated Health Initiative as an appropriate group for establishing standards. Furthermore, the NCPDP has devised a standardized prescription card to address some of the variation in state requirements. McEvoy agreed that the NCPDP is a key participant and reiterated what he stated during his presentation, that is, that the other groups that should be involved include the AMIA, USP, the Joint Commission, HL7, and the IOM. McEvoy also suggested that one might wish to have a neutral convener for this effort, perhaps a new consortium of groups. Ellis responded that medicine and pharmacy practitioner organizations should begin the process but that other stakeholders should be involved.
Panelists were asked whether there are business or competitive issues (other than costs of implementation) to consider that might create barriers to implementation if efforts to standardize labels resulted in minimizing pharmacy logos. Ellis and Townzen agreed that the effect of minimizing the pharmacy logo is probably minimal and should not impede implementation.
Another questioner asked whether clinical trials could be designed around a standard medication administration schedule and, if so, whether pharmaceutical manufacturers could take the lead on that restructuring. Goldhammer responded that it seems possible to structure clinical trials to include standardized administration and that it would be appropriate for the pharmaceutical industry to investigate this.
