their picks
what to buy
Do you plan to clean hard floors, too? If so, you may need to purchase an additional hard-floor attachment for your carpet cleaner. Or, see our report on steam mops.
How much cleaning do you have? If you really have a lot of traffic in and out of your house, quite a few pets, or often have to deal with larger messes, it's worth getting a full-sized carpet cleaner (or even a commercial model like the ones used as rental carpet cleaners) for more thorough cleaning of larger areas. However, if all you need to do is clean the occasional small spill or pet accident, a portable or spot carpet cleaner will be easier to use and store.
Which convenience features are most important to you? You can get by without a clean rinse feature, an internal water heater, indicator lights and automatic shutoff when the recovery tank is full, but all of these features make your carpet cleaning experience easier. Put some thought into which you're willing to pay for, as these extras may raise the cost substantially.
Are you okay with commercial cleaning solutions? The commercial cleaning solutions most manufacturers recommend are effective, but they use chemicals -- although they're considered quite safe. Still, the Carpet and Rug Institute has some recommendations for "green" cleaning solutions on their website. There are also recipes around the Internet for making and using homemade cleaning solutions. Be forewarned, though, using any non-recommended cleaning solution may void the manufacturer's warranty; check the fine print. Also, there are some professional carpet cleaning companies, like Chem-Dry, that use environmentally-friendly processes and solutions.
How close are you to a service center? If you need warranty service on your carpet cleaner, some companies require that you take it to the nearest service center, then leave it for repairs. Some frustrated owners report having to repeat a round trip of up to 100 miles to collect their repaired appliance.
When it comes to cleaning your carpet, professional carpet cleaning services provide the best results, but they are a more expensive option. They also require you to clear smaller items from every room you want shampooed and adjust your schedule to suit the cleaners. However, professional services give your carpet a true "steam" cleaning and may be able to make even badly stained carpet look a lot better.
Reviewing professional cleaning services is well beyond the scope of this report, because local companies vary, but we recommend checking out Google, Yelp or HomeAdvisor.com for ratings on companies in your area. Angie's List is also very helpful, but requires a paid subscription of about $25 per year. A check with your local Better Business Bureau is also a good idea.
It's also important to have realistic expectations when hiring a carpet cleaning service or renting a professional-grade machine. Reviews are often mixed depending upon the condition of the carpet. Some owners report astonishingly good results with rental or professional cleanings, but there is a point at which some stubborn, old stains -- or some very worn down carpets -- are just beyond help. That's another reason why it's best to have a carpet cleaner or spot cleaner tucked into the closet, waiting for your moment of need, to keep your carpet from getting to that point.

The secrets of great garden wildlife shots
Attract animals to your garden with cleverly placed food
Getting good garden wildlife shots can be made a lot simpler with a few basic tips. By using the right kind of feeder and a bit of a bit of fruit you'll be able to attract more life to your garden images. We show you not only what to feed birds and butterflies, but how to present their food for the best possible pictures.
Feed birds with a flat wire feeder
These are better than tube feeders because they enable more birds to feed at once and are also completely squirrel-proof. Terry makes his, which cost less than £5, from a sheet of small gauge-wire mesh measuring 100x50cm.
The mesh is folded in half and crimped along the side edges. He fills it with peanuts and folds over the top. As well as birds that come to feed, the shower of broken peanut pieces on the floor will attract the odd badger.
Put bird food mix into bark
Feeding from drilled holes in an old tree trunk or a log is a good idea, as youíll have a natural-looking backdrop. Terry makes his feed, which camouflages in with the bark, using 500g of lard, 700g of bird peanuts and 100g of wholemeal flour blitzed together in a food processor to make a paste.
Usual diners include tits, woodpeckers, magpies, jays and nuthatch, and wood and yellow-necked mice at night.
Attract butterflies with plums
Fermenting plums are useful attractants for butterflies, particularly red admirals. As well as moths, including our most beautiful, the red underwing, which can be seen flying in September. They like to get quite merry on the alcoholic plum juice.

Re: Patch Alert: MAG v2.11
WOW! Can you say EPIC fail! Neutrality is OK at best. Takes away home field
advantage, I know SVER will be devistated that they can't take their own acq map!
But really, **bleep** happened to the knife!? From the people I know, this patch is sending
alot of players away from this game! Zipper you're **bleep**ing up bad this time! The knife
is a fail now. If you're spinning to turn around and knife someone, you stop instantly!
And it takes like 2 seconds to start shooting again after you swipe your knife! This is
all bull**bleep** and ALOT of people are predicting that this FAIL will be the END OF MAG!!
Most definitely rubbed me the wrong way!
Re: Patch Alert: MAG v2.11
First off, Zipper, Love the game. Not one to complain. So I'm gonna ask. Nicely. Haha. Can I please have my knife back. Pretty please. LMFAO. I have a little over 100 hours in the game I think. And I consider myself a pretty good player. I've Veteraned from Valor to Raven. Then from Raven to S.V.E.R. I plan to Veteran back to Raven. I understand the game pretty well. I get Clan Invites alot., and I knife people, ALOT. Haha. But I'm sorta having a problem with it now as I'm sure you have heard. I cant rotate and knife at the same time. I can't even fire a weapon for a good 2 seconds after I swing that knife. So instead of me running around a corner and using my well purchased Sensor Jammer and Upgraded Special Ops skill to knife a couple/few unsuspecting Red Dots and gettin back out. Its more like run in knife one hope my angle was right and attempt to recover from my one directional assault fast enough to not be knifed or shot in retaliation. I would really love to be able to use my Samurai Sword again. Haha. So please. Patch A.S.A.P. I understand the knife patch was meant for move users, but lets be real. I don't know a single serious MAG player that uses PS Move.
As far as the map Neutrality. I don't really care. I mean it made more sense to me that I should be Defending my own turf and Attacking someone elses but... Either way. I'd like my knife back.
I don't know about the people talking about bot users or even know what lag switching is but, I do know, like I said I consider myself pretty good at the game but some people just seem like whoa. Instant headshots, takes two of my full upgraded knifes to still NOT kill them, Sonic the hedgehog Heavy Armor LMG wielders, one shot kill Assault and LMG's and finally the Shotgun snipers(Which actually, Im guilty of a couple lucky shots). O and bein shot around corners... That's a lovely one to. So yea if there are mod users. Lets try and get them out. I mean even Diablo 2 was able to detect hackers. I also don't know about the lag issue much but IDEA: Download enough information of the the game to the PS3 system so that every signed on system helps run your server. Kinda like that Folding Clothes thing that first came out with PS3. Might help with the Lag and freezing issues.
As far as things I'd like to see. How bout a little bit of incentive to Vet over. Besides a nice shiny star Lol. I had an Idea that every time you vet you gain 1 Permanant skill point able to be spent from level 1 on. Example I personally have Veteraned 2 times. So at level 1 why not instead of having only 1 point. Have 3 skill points to spend.(You get the Idea) Just a thought. Also... That LMG gotta have a little more spread on it. I have been a victim of what seemed 120 meter shot from an LMG Spray and Pray Shooter. Litterally had to be holding the trigger(figuratively speaking) for a good 4 seconds and still caught me with 5 or 6 shots from a retarded length away. Haha. Other than that. I'd like to see my knife back.
Re: Patch Alert: MAG v2.11
Re: Patch Alert: MAG v2.11

Re: Patch Alert: MAG v2.11
nice one zipper, You've royally f**cked up. this change to the knife is the worst thing you could have done.
You will lose hundreds of players every week, until you put the knife right
I now hav to find another game to play an pour my money into.
thanks for ruining it.
not bothered about the map neutral thing as we at sver will still will win on all maps and modes.
Re: Patch Alert: MAG v2.11
hey guys just wanted to say that if people didnt understand how to use the knife then accomidate for the people who dont? Just take it completely away cause now whats the point if u cant turn and knife? pretty much all strait on knifing now? Hesitation moving left or right when using knife now makes no better gameplay for alot of ppl. Somethings are better just left alone...How bout fix sooo all the hacks cant lag u out anymore and switches dont work? Those are the real disadvantages on this game and we all know that!
Re: Patch Alert: MAG v2.11
Completely agree with you! Im dissapointed with the knife as well. People need to learn how to use it first. Now practiculy useless knife hesitation left to right is no better game play for me either. All strait knifin now is lame!!!!! this game is about to get thrown in the corner with the rest! Fix real probs such as laggers and hacks cause thats the real prob with this game MAG Leave things alone that arent broke and take into consideration that some ppl never knew how to knife to begin with!
Re: Patch Alert: MAG v2.11
Agree with YOU!!!! what r they thinking???? come on knife stall??? Come on fix real probs nothing wrong with the characters should maybe focus on lag and server REAL PROBS

New contracts support Fort Meade operations
July 7, 2011
Related Links
FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Md. - The Fort Meade base operations contract made a seamless change of hands Friday when IAP Worldwide, Inc. turned over facility maintenance and other related services that support the installation, after six years of service, to two AbilityOne contractors.
The two companies, Melwood and Skookum Contract Services, were awarded contracts after a nearly two-year process that ensured service members, family members, civilian employees and retirees who live and work on post would continue to receive a high level of service from the Directorate of Public Works and the Directorate of Logistics, said Deputy Installation Commander John M. Moeller.
"The transition to two new base operations contractors should be totally transparent to our customers," Moeller said. "The only difference they may notice is instead of seeing IAP logos on vehicles on post, they'll see Melwood and Skookum logos. In fact, many of IAP's employees simply signed on with the new contractors, so we already have an experienced workforce supporting us."
A driving factor during the contracting process has been to hire contractors who are a part of the AbilityOne program, said Randy Williams, DPW engineering chief and leader of the DPW contracting team.
The AbilityOne program works with private and public groups to provide services to the government and jobs for the blind and other people who have severe disabilities, including warriors in transition and disabled veterans, as outlined on the program website.
More than 1,300 wounded military veterans are part of the AbilityOne 43,000-strong workforce, according to a DoD news release.
Melwood, an AbilityOne contractor headquartered in Upper Marlboro, will employ the bulk of workers, about 120, to oversee maintenance for 350 post facilities; road upkeep on the installation; grounds maintenance; refuse and snow removal; and post recycling for DPW, said Williams.
Skookum, also an AbilityOne employer, will have a smaller contract that will give nearly 40 employees jobs in retail, supply and services, material maintenance, and transportation services with DOL, said Anthony Oliphant, acting director of the DOL.
"A great deal of the [Melwood] contract is fixed-price," Williams said. "Melwood will provide most pricing and negotiate on the schedule of work before jobs are started. In this way, the cost to the government is better budgeted."
Oliphant said the Skookum contract is also fixed-price.
The contract period is five years for both companies, including a base year and four option years, Williams said.
"We have established the goal to employ those with qualifying disabilities for 50 percent of the direct labor force at Fort Meade," said Robert Nash, Melwood project manager for the post contract. "Currently, those with disabilities make up 33 percent of the Melwood direct labor force on post."
Melwood's full workforce includes more than 1,000 people with disabilities working at approximately 70 contract sites around the Washington region.
"[Community members] will see a lot of the same faces, and some new faces as well, as [the contractors] staff up," Williams said.
Initially, there should be a visible difference outdoors, said John Straub, Melwood operations manager of Total Facilities Management Service.
"We expect a change rather quickly with the quality of grounds maintenance," Straub said. "We have been in business more than 45 years and that is one of our specialty areas."
Shortly after coming aboard, Melwood will implement a comprehensive safety program, which will consist of 10 hours of mandatory safety training for its employees, and will afford some DPW personnel training as well, Nash said.
The company has a two-fold mission of providing quality service, that in turn allows the company to create jobs and opportunities for people with differing disabilities so they can enjoy a good quality of life, Nash said.
Melwood's largest contract is a custodial contract for the entire U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, totaling more than 150 workers. Other sites include the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., and the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt.
Skookum has also been creating jobs for people with disabilities and barriers to employment since 1988, Oliphant said.
Skookum was awarded the 2010 Performance Excellence in Hiring Veterans with Disabilities award from AbilityOne.
Maintenance calls will be routed through the same phone numbers as before, but will be fielded through the government, then tasked to contractors.
Emergency maintenance requests will continue to be routed to the maintenance line and will be monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

wish they didn't use soy
Posted by Reviewer3307313 on Oct 23, 2007
Great value and it is excellent that they concentrated the EPA/DHA into a small amount of oil. However I wish they did not use soy for the preservative.

No single variety of shrub or tree is going to mask the smell as their season of fragrant flowers or foliage is transient and, in any case, your nose will become desensitised to persistent fragrance, whether good or bad.
I'd rather live next to a farm than an airport. I was shocked by the all pervading smell of aviation fuel at the back of Zaventem airport when out on a hunt for sculptures by a certain Belgian artist - http://s211.photobucket.com/user/Obelixx_be/media/0807%20Sculpture%20tour/080718049.jpg.html?sort=2&o=11 .
I'm waiting for OH to turn our compost heaps so I can mulch some newly cleared beds and plant out my seed and divison raised plants. Finally decided to wait no longer and have started bedding them into the raised veggie beds till spring. Still quite a lot of those to do then the rest of the new bulbs to plant; dahlais ato lift and dry before storing, the south facing wall of the greenhouse still to bubble wrap; assorted pots to be sheltered in there or the shed depending on what needs light; chipped bark mulch to apply to the blackurrant, redcurrant, gooseberry and strawberries bed; winter windbreak netting to attach on the north and east fences and then we can have winter.
That will be spent mostly hibernating and doing jobs in the house but on fine days there are garden chairs to repair and paint, metal obelisks to clean with a wire brush and paint with hammerite and some new wooden ones to make and paint.
No, but you can do what you like all week.
We shall be out dancing so will have to catch up tomorrow night, before the results show.
Alan - it's insulation against the cold. We had our first frost last night. Very beautiful but a signal to get a wellie on sorting out the last of my babies and divisions for winter and lifting the last of the dahlias which have been fine till now in pots in full sun.
I haven't read all you post as it is so badly structured. try breaking your thoughts into paragraphs for easier reading.
However, Lyme's disease is recognised here in Belgium and people are warned about having their pets regularly treated for ticks and fleas which carry it and other diseases. A friend of mine got it from a tick bite some years ago whilst walking her dog in a problem area but was treated.
Perhaps you should consider starting a support group for fellow sufferers. Then you would have numbers to back you up and make people start to take notice. The NHS isn't joined up in its thinking so won't look beyond individal cases and I doubt if it's top of the list when training GPs.
OH and I have birthdays between now and December 7th and, since we live in Belgium, we also have St Nicolas to contend with on Dec 6th which meant Possum had to have presents then too so as not to be even more different than the other kids. Possum's birthday is in January so Xmas is something we get around to eventually and we keep it low key.
Nowadays we have dance classes too and I am president of the club so can have some fun. The last Wednesday before Xmas is a rum and nibbles Salsa class and the last Friday is ballroom with Santa bonnets, mulled wine and nibbles (they're getting mince pies this year).
Belgians have their main feast with family on Xmas Eve. We still do ours on Xmas day but there are just the 3 of us and none of us likes turkey so I cook duck breasts with a spiced wine sauce and naughty gratin dauphinois. OH does his own sprouts and gets a small Xmas pud. Possum and I have something chocolatey.
We like a proper tree with decorations picked up here and there at various Christmas markets and lots of lights plus candles and garlands but no tinsel or streamers.
We exchange gifts after breakfast and take the dogs for a long walk and then I play Christmas carol CDs while I cook. Always listen to the carol service from Kings too.
Boxing Day is a working day here but OH always takes it as holiday and we do more dog walking. Nice and quiet and restful.
New Years is a huge feast here and for the last few years we've gone out dinner dancing but this year we're hibernating and staying at home
I like the sound of a green tomato cake but for me I'd have to save some for fried green tomates as served at the Whistle Stop Café.
I didn't get any tomatoes this year. All the plants were clobbered by a freak hail storm in late May so too late to buy or sow replacements. Three chilli plants survived though so all is not lost.
Sparrowhawks are beautiful and only catch the weak or stupid birds so are also part of natural selection. Our visitor doesn't get much at my feeding station but when he/she does, often as not it's a collared dove rather than a tit or sparrow.
I have friends who have 4 ponds, one of which is visited by a kingfisher. They actually buy small goldfish to stock it for him. They have bigger specimens in the upper ponds and are philosophical about herons.
As long as you've tied in as many branches as you can, it's safe to prune off any excess growth now to prevent if being damaged by winter gales. The main pruning to encourage flowers is best done in spring. The RHS offers this advice:-

""Many years ago, our company founder, Al Conklin, sold a new twin-engine business aircraft to a very successful entrepreneur.

'What is the cost of a divorce?'"–David Wyndham, president, Conklin & de Decker"
Hawker 450XP and Super King Air 350i unveiled
The wraps are off on Hawker Beechcraft's Hawker 450XP and Super King Air 350i, revealing extensive cabin makeovers. Cabin "infotainment" systems for both aircraft are based on Rockwell Collins' Venue and will handle the latest information and entertainment sources-iPods, XM satellite radio, CDs and Blu-ray DVDs, X-Boxes and PlayStations-and feature multiple high-definition screens with home-theater-quality sound.
According to the Wichita, Kan.-based company, the 350i cabin also incorporates extensive soundproofing that will reduce average noise from the 82dBA typical of most light jets and turboprops to 78 dBA. LED lighting and electrochromic window darkening will add to the ambiance.
The back of the 450XP holds a midsize-jet-type lavatory. The double club-four cabin layout can be reconfigured for more spacious comfort by removing one seat and replacing it with an ottoman. The Super King Air 350i costs $6.526 million and is scheduled for certification in the third quarter of 2009. The "very well equipped" 450XP carries a $7.695 million price tag. Certification is expected in the second quarter of 2009.

Hi Everyone,
Two days ago my daughter was diagnosed with ASD/PS. From my understanding this means there is a hole btn the atriums and b/c the blood is spilling from the right side to the left her pulmanery artery is having added pressure put on it. The doctor seemed 'ok' with all this but was concerned b/c the right side of her heart is slightly enlarged. So, I decided to look on here and thank goodness there was a group. I haven't read through the threads yet, but I wanted to say hi and see if anyone is in a boat similar to mine. Her tests are being sent to a board Certified Cardiologist and I guess they will make the call whether to close it or not. So any tips advice, stories would be so comforting right now. I know she will be OK but I feel so sad that her little heart is having a hard time and there is nothing I can do :(

Why would anyone reasonably expect a good race this time round? Aside from Brno, three hasn't been anything close all year. Another yawn fest is likely to be the story. We had great finales in the world and British Superbikes, and it'll be a great scrap in the moto3 & moto2 classes, but in motogp? Nah.

The endorsement train continued North last night, visiting the 46th District Democrats, whose turf spans from the rolling hills of Laurelhurst past the sparkling waters of Bitter Lake all the way to the city limits at 145th. They were just as indecisive as their predecessors (the 37th and 43rd have already endorsed), handing a couple of dual endorsements and one very notable no-endorsement.
The night's biggest story is that the group refused to hand out a dual endorsement to Joe Mallahan and Greg Nickels because enough members didn't want Nickels getting any kind of endorsement. In the first ballot, Mallahan (46) led all vote getters, followed by Nickels (31), McGinn (26), Drago (17), and Sigler (8). In the final ballot, Mallahan got 76 votes to Nickels' 39--but there were 9 no-endorsement votes. Had those not been there, explains 46th Dems Vice Chair Shanna Sawatzki, Mallahan would have enough votes for an endorsement all his own. [Update: Sawatzki says in the comments (see below) that Mallahan still would have been short even had the no-endorsement votes not driven up the number he need.)
Instead, the group had to vote on a co-endorsement. All sorts of parliamentary maneuvering ensued, with members trying to figure out different ways to propose a final endorsement ballot. Says Sawatzki, "I think people had the sense that, if it had been McGinn and Mallahan, people would've voted for the dual endorsement. So people trying to figure out different ways to do it."No dice in the end, though, so Mallahan will have to boast of his surprisingly strong showing as the top vote-getter, rather than the endorsee. It's the first District Dems meeting at which Mike McGinn has not been the top vote getter, and the third consecutive top-two showing for Mallahan.
Also of note, Council Candidate David Miller missed out on a lone endorsement by one vote. Hence, he shares the endorsement with Bobby Forch, whom he beat 67-34. And the bag tax passed handily.
Finally, an oddity in the King County Exec race--Dow Constantine beat Larry Phillips in the first ballot, and Phillips beat Constantine in the second. (They received a dual endorsement.) Looking at the numbers, it seems some voters must have switched, though Sawatzki says that in all the drama and chaos, the room had grown hot, and people were milling about and leaving early. So Phillips may have benefited from a rapidly changing electorate.
The endorsements:
* Seattle Mayor: No endorsement made in this race
* Seattle City Council Position 4: David Bloom
* Seattle City Council Position 6: Nick Licata
* Seattle City Council Position 8: Dual Endorsement for David Miller and Bobby Forch
* King County Executive: Dual endorsement for Larry Phillips and Dow Constantine
* Port of Seattle Position 3: Rob Holland
* Port of Seattle Position 4: Max Vekich
* Court of Appeals, Div 1, Dist 1, Seat 3: Anne Ellington
* Seattle Green Bag Fee: Endorsed/Approved

Couple enrolling in parenting classes following child cruelty sentence
By: Jenifer Gee Journal Staff Writer
Marks say they want to move forward
An Auburn couple sentenced for not properly caring for their infant daughter said they are ready to move on to the next steps of rehabilitation. Abraham, 49, and Monica, 38, Mark appeared in a Roseville courtroom Friday for a review in front of Judge Frances Kearney. Monica Mark showed proof that she had enrolled in a 52-week parenting class that starts next week. Abraham Mark was recently released on bail from federal custody concerning his immigration status. Kearney instructed him to get a referral to a parenting class and start taking classes before the couple's next court date in March. Outside of the courtroom, defense attorney Dean Starks said Abraham Mark is still undergoing an immigration process that he thinks his client will "ultimately win." Abraham Mark said he has lived in the country for the past 20 years and hopes to end the immigration battle soon. He spoke on behalf of himself and his wife, Monica, about the couple's future. "What happened has happened and I can't change it," Abraham Mark said Friday. "If I could change it I would, but we can only learn from our past." In January, the couple's then 8-week-old daughter, Shelia, was admitted to a local hospital reportedly "hours from death." Placer County Child Protective Services officials determined the baby was dehydrated and severely malnourished. The Marks were subsequently arrested and each charged with one felony count of cruelty to a child. In August, Monica Mark pleaded no contest to felony cruelty to a child by abuse and neglect. Abraham Mark pleaded no contest to being an accessory to child abuse and neglect, a felony. The couple was sentenced to four years formal probation. Monica Mark was ordered to serve 300 days in Placer County Jail for which she had 297 credits in August. Abraham Mark was sentenced to 309 days in county jail and had 309 credits. Both are only allowed supervised visitation to see Shelia pending approval of Child Protective Services. Monica Mark has two additional children who she can also see during supervised visits. Starks said the couple is going to work hard to regain custody of their daughter. Abraham Mark added that he wants to have a positive mentality. "We have to move forward," Abraham Mark said. Abraham and Monica Mark are scheduled to appear in Placer County Superior Court at 8:30 a.m. March 6 in Dept. 31 at the Bill Santucci Justice Center in Roseville. The Journal's Jenifer Gee can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or post a comment.

Commissaries plan for Monday furloughs
May 28, 2013
By Kevin L. Robinson, DeCA public affairs specialist
Related Links
FORT LEE, Va. (May 28, 2013) -- When furloughs are implemented, most military commissaries will close one day a week on Mondays, said the director and chief executive officer of the Defense Commissary Agency. Between July 8 and Sept. 30, 2013, there will be eleven additional days commissaries are closed, days they are not normally closed.
The Monday closures are in addition to any day stores are routinely closed. For instance, there are 148 stores now that routinely close on Mondays. For those stores, they would also be closed the next normal day of operation. Other than the furlough day, there are no other changes planned for store operation hours.
The announcement comes as the Defense Commissary Agency, or DeCA, follows Department of Defense protocols related to the automatic federal government budget reductions, known as sequestration, which began March 1, 2013. Like most DOD activities, DeCA is mandated to furlough its civil service employees. Furlough notices are scheduled to be delivered to DeCA employees between May 28 and June 5.
DeCA has 247 commissaries with more than 16,000 employees operating in 13 countries and two U.S. territories. Furloughs will impact all of DeCA's more than 14,000 U.S. civilian employees.
"We know that any disruption in commissary operations will impact our patrons," said Joseph H. Jeu, DeCA's director and CEO. "Also, we understand the tremendous burden this places on our employees, who, when furloughed, will lose 20 percent of their pay. We determined that Monday closures would present the least pain for our patrons, employees and industry partners."
As sequestration continues, commissary customers can find out about any changes to their local store's operating schedule by going to www.commissaries.com, clicking on the "Locations" tab, then "Alphabetical Listing," finding their store and clicking on "local store information." Patrons are reminded that because sequestration is so fluid, DeCA's plan for this budget-cutting measure is subject to change.
DeCA decided on Monday closures after weighing the potential disruption to patrons and suppliers of having rolling furloughs, where closure dates would differ from store to store. Universal Monday closures are less disruptive to shoppers and the agency's industry partners, vendors, suppliers and distributors, who deliver products daily to DeCA's commissaries.
Store staffs overseas include a mix of U.S. and local national employees. Because they are not U.S. government employees, local national employees are not subject to furlough actions. Select locations overseas will open if they have an adequate local national staff. However, if an overseas store is closed, its local national staff will report to work and perform other store-related duties.
In January, DOD released guidance to allow defense components to plan for potential budget cuts by reducing operating costs. In line with that direction, DeCA later executed the following budget-cutting measures:
-- a hiring freeze on all outside hires
-- curtailment of official travel for all conferences, training and any other events and activities considered noncritical to the agency's mission
-- cancellation of the agency's May Worldwide Case Lot Sales for all commissaries. Instead, stores are conducting smaller-scale events such as outdoor sidewalk sales
-- curtailment of all overtime and compensatory time unless deemed mission-critical
-- review of contract services to restrict any increases
-- curtailment of all monetary awards unless legally required
-- postponement of all Guard and Reserve on-site sales scheduled after July 8 until further notice.
"We are in this together," Jeu said. "Though limited in our ability by circumstances we cannot control, I assure you we will do all we can to mitigate the impact of sequestration on our patrons, employees and industry partners, and on our mission."

Iraqi medical professionals complete disaster health management course
September 30, 2010
By Mr. Wayne V. Hall (USF-I, DCG A&T PAO)
Story Highlights
- this course focused on things like hygiene, shelter and all the things that need to be considered after a disaster
BAGHDAD - Twenty-two health professionals from Iraq's Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Interior and Civil Defense completed a course in disaster health management conducted in the Ministerial Training Development Center here Sept. 22.
Instructors from the U.S. Defense Institute for Medical Operations conducted a four-day "Disaster Public Health and Public Health System Management" course, which is designed as a "train-the-trainer" course.
"After a disaster, either man-made or natural, it is important for health care personnel to know how to effectively manage care, shelter and food," said U.S. Air Force Maj. Kurt Workmaster, who serves as the advisor to the Iraq MoD Surgeon General's Office for Training. "Therefore this course focused on things like hygiene, shelter and all the things that need to be considered after a disaster."
The Government of Iraq has steadily increased training for personnel in the health care arena, raising the quality of care throughout the country.
"One of the most important phases in improving health care for Iraqis is to improve the training that health care professionals receive," said Maj. Gen. Samir Abdullah, the surgeon general for Iraqi Joint Forces.
Graduates from this course will be able to take what they have learned and share it with their colleagues, enhancing Iraq's ability to respond to the health care needs of the Iraqi people following a disaster, should the need occur.

I just started working again after being home with my DD for 15 weeks. She is cared for three days a week by an in-home provider who also cared for my two sons from the time they were babies. My mom watches her the fourth day and I have Fridays off.
Aside from some initial sadness at dropping her off on Monday, I feel absolutely no guilt returning to work. I am happy to be stimulating my mind again (I'm a writer and work from home) and to break free from the 24/7 eat/play/sleep baby routine that can get kind of mind-numbing after awhile! Don't get me wrong - I miss her to pieces, but I feel more balanced, more "me" now.
I see so many posts about women struggling so much when they go back to work...sometimes I wonder if I'm lacking in the maternal instincts department or something because I don't feel the need to be with my baby around the clock, every day.

Dez Fafara was the guest on Full Metal Jackie's weekend show and he spoke about Coal Chamber's upcoming album, DevilDriver's lineup changes and more.
DevilDriver frontman Dez Fafara reveals that he feels that the groping of female crowdsurfers or pit goers as being "tantamount to rape."
With over two decades of experience under his belt, Dez Fafara is one of the most notable and raw frontmen you can ever see live. We got the chance to catch up with the DevilDriver vocalist as he spoke about some of the younger bands that interest him as well as what first caught his attention when he began listening to music. He also gives some very informative advice to his younger self that maybe helpful to those newer bands out there.
DevilDriver's Dez Fafara is known for being one of the most intense singers and performers in metal music today. The band's following continues to grow with six studio albums under their belts, including their latest release 'Winter Kills,' which is their first album via Napalm Records.
DevilDriver frontman Dez Fafara was the guest on Full Metal Jackie's radio show this past weekend. Fafara talked about the band's next album, separating DevilDriver and Coal Chamber, and his love for punk rock music...

Kubica reveals identity of his preferred replacement
15 February 2011
Robert Kubica has revealed who he would like to see substituting for him at Lotus Renault GP this year,
has learned – and the answer may surprise.
Kubica is currently recovering in hospital in Italy following his high-speed rallying accident on the Ronde di Andora nine days ago that left him with a broken arm, broken leg and – most worryingly of all – a partially-severed hand.
Whilst there have been varying reports as to the Pole's condition as he continues to undergo surgery [see separate story –
click here
], a source close to
has informed us that Kubica has been visited in hospital by a key member of Lotus Renault GP and asked who he would rather drive his car this season.
Although former BMW-Sauber team-mate Nick Heidfeld is seen as the hot favourite to occupy the cockpit – particularly in the light of the experienced German's outstanding testing debut for the team at Jerez on Saturday [see separate story –
click here
] – our source claims that Kubica has said he would prefer to be replaced by Force India F1 refugee Vitantonio Liuzzi, whom he considers to be a better
out of the pair. The 26-year-old is friends with both.
An announcement confirming 33-year-old Heidfeld had been expected from Lotus Renault GP yesterday (Monday), but no news was forthcoming – raising speculation that the Enstone-based concern may yet be set to try out Liuzzi and possibly also Pedro de la Rosa during testing in Barcelona later this week, before coming to a final decision about who will partner Vitaly Petrov in F1 2011.
Meanwhile, defending world champion Sebastian Vettel has backed his compatriot 'Quick Nick' for the drive, telling Italian newspaper
La Gazzetta dello Sport
: "At Jerez I think he worked well with that team, and he's one of the few honest guys in F1. He deserves this chance."

Question: I dropped and cracked my screen. I took my 4 to Best Buy where I had my insurance through. (HUGE MISTAKE) they kept it for a week until the replacement came in. (refurbished) Originally, it appeared everything had backed up, then pictures started to go from single to triple to cyberspace..... Gone! I contacted Apple (the guy I spoke to was suppose to call me back in two hours... I think he went into hiding!) never heard from again. ICloud says it has back up from my old phone, current phone and iPad but how can I access what is on each of these devices? What exactly is iCloud storing? Can I go into the account and delete what I don't need saved? I lost close to 1700 pictures. February 1st to September 4th. Did I back it up to my lap top? I thought I did.. once a month, updates,music etc.... But according to Best Buy and the Geek squad my pictures didn't back up. How is this possible? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

Glad it helped. When I am in the Apple store listening to genuines telling people who are having their iPhone swapped out that everything will just backup from iCloud it takes everything not to jump in and warn them. Glad this worked out for you. Everything else is pretty much throwaway on an iPhone except photos/memories.
primelink Oct 15, 2012 11:30 AM

2x things to get from any of these discussions:
1. Always back up to your PC/Mac and confirm this is completed successfully when ever you've made big changes.
1a. Always backup to ICloud when charging (turn on wifi).
2. When faced with a replaced device or upgrade at the start of the restore process it's VERY important to enter in all your account details and don't skip, This will directly affect your restore and data availability.
my 2 cents
pvonk Oct 15, 2012 11:54 AM
in response to Mom2amj
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream.
If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered. And photos do not get backed up to an itunes backup.

Hello, this is my first time in the discussions page so I hope you can help me. I had an iPod 4g but I lost it. I wnat to know if there's something I can do to recover the photos I have in iCloud and download the to my computer. How can I do this? Thanks a lot

Thank you so much for your post... You have helped me to restore all my photos
I had a similar problem firstly before reading this post, I restored my new phone from a previous back up however my new iPhone had not already upgraded to ios6. So on first restore I was not given the option to restore from most recent back up. So I called apple who could not help me. They had no answer other than all my photos are lost.
So being determined I decided to plug into iTunes nothing to sync other than download ios6. Then I clicked!!!
Erase my iPhone and settings. So I did after upgrading to ios6 there was all my stuff!!!
However I then had the Sam problem as you with the photos. Finally read your post reset everything again and left plugged in to wall charger open on photos for a few hours!!
Amazing thank u

i managed to get all my photos back too. because my phone (which i previously restored) my partners phone and photo stream all had the photos missing i thought iCloud ha lost them all. i thought id give it a shot and recover 3 weeks back to a older backup and bingo! all the photos were there!! i then wasted no time and coppied all the photos onto my desktop just incase icloud deleted them all (like they did on photo stream).
thanks Apple
Would be good if every time you did a backup you would save the photos along with every thing else, its not the first time you've just "forgotten"

What no-one has actually said here is how do you access the photos that have been backed up to the cloud without having to go through a restore.
I should have over a year of photos on iCloud, yet on buying a new mac and setting it up, there is only 102 photos which is less than 2 months of photo taking on iPhoto after 2 days of syncing.
All i wish to do is download all of the photos and burn them to a DVD.
Can anyone shed some light on this?

DeanPointon: There is no way of doing that.
ezyjules: THANK YOU! My iPhone was stolen and all my pictures were not restored from the backup. I take tons of pictures all the time and move them over to my computer weekly, but even doing that in a week I take hundreds of pictures and movies, several Gigs! But even with moving them off my iPhone onto my computer my phone was stolen before I could back it up and when I received my replacement the pics were never restored.

I can't figure out how to do the same with all of my pictures that I'd saved to the cloud from my iPhone 4. Can anyone help me with this? I really need the pictures ASAP for work. Please?!? With a cherry on top?!?

I'm having an issue kinda similar to some that have been posted on here, My sleep/wake button got stuck on off and would not do anything. My phone was replaced at the apple store and they told me that my pictures and videos that were backed up on icloud should be restore to my new phone but only about 100 of the 600 photos showed up and none of my videos came through. Can anyone tell me how I can get the photos/videos back? Any help would be appreciated. I have an iPhone 4
