New Smyrna may tighten zones for Internet cafes
Published: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 5:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 21, 2013 at 7:24 a.m.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH — Two new Internet cafes have opened in the city within the last year and, until recently, officials had been fielding one or two calls a week from people testing the waters to open more, said Kevin Jameson, a city planner.
"There certainly was interest," Jameson said.
That interest may have dimmed in the wake of last week's multi-state investigation of Allied Veterans of the World, a St. Augustine-based charity that operated Internet cafes throughout Florida, including Volusia and Flagler counties. The expansive probe netted almost 60 arrests, mostly on charges of illegal gambling and money laundering, and led to the resignation of Florida Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll. Carroll used to provide public relations representation to the company before her election but has not been charged.
An Allied Veterans cafe on South Atlantic Avenue in New Smyrna Beach was among those raided last week.
While the Legislature and Gov. Rick Scott are on the precipice of approving an outright prohibition of Internet cafes, New Smyrna Beach officials could move ahead next week with limiting where the storefront operations, which offer electronic sweepstakes entries to customers, can be in the city.
Commissioners on Tuesday will consider allowing Internet cafes only in the city's highway service business districts or shopping center districts. While those zoning areas are where the seven cafes open in the city are located, the vote would be more about trying to halt a potential proliferation of the gaming operations in the future. Internet cafes are allowed in any retail area in the city — including the prime business districts on Flagler Avenue and Canal Street.
"As our current regulations are right now, we treat them as just a retail use because they are selling something and giving out these sweepstakes tickets," Jameson said.
The tighter regulations the commission will consider would also include a provision that Internet cafes not be allowed to operate within 1,000 feet of each other, the same standard the city has on its books for bars and package stores. Two Internet cafes on South Dixie Freeway are right across the street from each other and wouldn't meet that standard, but Jameson said those businesses would be grandfathered and allowed to stay in business. However, those businesses could not expand their operations, he said.
The Senate gaming committee on Monday voted unanimously to pass a bill that would outlaw Internet cafes. Thursday, the House votes on a measure banning the types of machines used in the facilities. The bill (HB 155), clarifies that certain gaming devices used in the cafés are illegal.
"I am definitely worried about it," said David Szabo, manager at Lucky Lady Sweepstakes on North Dixie Freeway. "We created this business to support our families. Myself, I think the ban is unfair."
Szabo said his business shouldn't get a bad rap just because of the investigation into Allied Veterans of the World, which was accused of running a $290 million illegal gambling operation with most of the proceeds going into its owners' pockets.
"You don't throw out all the good apples just because of one bad apple," Szabo said.
There were about a dozen people in the Lucky Lady around noon Wednesday. Employees at several other Internet cafes in the city declined comment about the potential prohibition. At the Sands Internet Cafe, a manager called police after spotting a News-Journal reporter snapping a photo from the sidewalk.
New Smyrna Beach City Commissioner Jason McGuirk in January favored issuing another moratorium on Internet cafes in the city. The commission instituted a six-month moratorium on the operations in August 2011 and then extended it for 90 days in January 2012. That moratorium expired in May 2012.
McGuirk said Wednesday he would support the city planning staff's recommendations on limiting where the businesses can locate, but believes an outright ban by the state is inevitable.
"I think the writing is on the wall on where the state is going to go with this," McGuirk said.

Accommodation is in recently renovated, 250 year old stone Catalan houses with plenty of outside space and swimming pool. Your room will be furnished to the highest standard and includes a modern ensuite bathroom. Meals are of the highest standard and are taken at the lodge or at local restaurants and will ensure that you taste the best of the local French cuisine. Local French wines and other drinks are included with meals.
Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Arrival. Welcome, drinks at Sanglier lodge, briefing and orientation, settling in, relax, dinner. Includes: (D).
Day 2: Falgos, often rated as the most beautiful golf setting in Europe is our first day's play. This is a 5044 m, 18 holes, par 70 course. T off time at 1000, 9 holes before lunch in the club house, 9 after lunch, followed perhaps by a swim and a jacuzzi and sauna, then back to the lodge for a sumptuous dinner. Includes: (B), (L), (D).
Day 3: You had a solid 18 holes yesterday, so after an early breakfast we'll explore some of the many fascinating features of the Prades valley, and return to the lodge for dinner in the evening. Includes: (B), (L), (D).
Day 4: Down to the coast after breakfast today, where you'll play either an 18 holes, 6480 m, par 73 course or a 9 hole, 2724 m, par 35 course. If you only feel like 9 holes and would like to lie in a little we can take a late 'brunch' at the lodge and then wend our way to the coast for 18 holes in the afternoon. Includes: (B), (L), (D).
Day 5: Falgos is so marvelous that it would be a pity to play it only once in the course of the week. This time we might have a picnic in the grounds, beautifully laid out with crystal glasses, silver cutlery and great food before playing the 2nd nine holes in the afternoon. Includes: (B), (L), (D).
Day 6: You haven't played in Spain yet, so why don't we head down to the Costa Brava and play the Figureres course, 18 holes, par 72, with a picnic arranged at the end. You might like to look around a bit before we head back to France in the evening. The drive time to Figureres is only an hour. Includes: (B), (L), (D).
Day 7: An exciting lunch spot today, back in the mountains! After an early breakfast we drive over the Col d'Ares into Spain to do nine holes on the Camprodon course. At around 1230 we'll reach La Costa Da Dalt, a famous restaurant perched high in the mountains with fabulous views into Spain with the Mediterranean shimmering to the East One delicious course follows another and the wine and laughter flow feel a great finale to your trip. We eventually stagger out of there at around 1800 and your (sober) driver takes you home. Includes: (B), (L), (D).
Day 8: Departure day. You are utterly relaxed and in no mood to go back to the office, but "c'est la vie!". All good things come to an end. There's always next year and there's so much you haven't done. Includes: (B).

- "Geta", a twelfth-century elegiac comedy by Vitalis of Blois, is a loose adaptation of Plautus' play, Amphitryon. Both tell the story of how Jupiter, transforming himself to look like Amphitryon, sleeps with Amphitryon's wife, Alcmena. But in Geta, Amphitryon is not a Greek military leader but a philosopher, and Hercules, the child who is born from the union of the god and Alcmena, is not even mentioned. In both stories, Amphitryon's servant, who is sent on ahead to his master's estate to announce Amphitryon's homecoming to Alcmena, is turned away by Mercury, who is disguised as that very servant, and who convinces him that he is the real servant; but in Geta, this trickery is aided by sophistical arguments, which serve to ridicule sophists in general who style themselves philosophers.
- Geta are a form of traditional Japanese footwear that resemble both clogs and flip-flops. They are a kind of sandal with an elevated wooden base held onto the foot with a fabric thong to keep the foot well above the ground. They are worn with traditional Japanese clothing such as kimono or yukata, but also with Western clothing during the summer months. Sometimes geta are worn in rain or snow to keep the feet dry, due to their extra height and impermeability compared to other footwear such as zōri. They make a similar noise to flip-flops slapping against the heel whilst walking. When worn on water or dirt, flip-flops may flip dirt or water up the back of the legs. This does not tend to happen with the heavier Japanese Geta.
- also known as 下馱

Since the organization started up three months ago, The Animal Cruelty Task Force of Ohio (ACT Ohio) continues to save animals. This winter, even with limited resources, ACT Ohio rescued 20 animals and improved situations at 18 other locations. Animal cruelty charges were filed in eight of those cases.
One case which involves animal cruelty against six horses (two of the horses have passed away) is going to court on Monday. More news to follow after the court date.
On April 4, ACT Ohio will be holding an Open House at their new office space, located at 128 South Main Street in Marysville. Their Facebook event page welcomes all to "come out and see our new place and talk to us in person!"
Click here for more information on this event to be held on Friday, April 4, 2014 from 5:30 p.m to 6:30 p.m.
Even if you can't make it to the Open House, please consider supporting this much-needed program. ACT Ohio, which provides animal cruelty investigation services and support in rural areas, depends on donations. They also need people to foster various animals, including livestock. Individuals interested in fostering animals for ACT Ohio can email Steffen Baldwin at firstname.lastname@example.com. Tax-deductible contributions can be made online at:

Just in case anyone comes to visit and doesn't realise Camping has it's own repo at Github (the chosen option in this thread, thanks to Magnus) here's the URL: http://github.com/camping/camping/ To promote Camping (e.g. I just mailed ruby-toolbox.com to suggest adding it), I usually point people to the above, to the online docs below, and to the mailing list. But it would be worth putting up a 'where is all the definitive updated Camping 1.9-soon-to-be-2.0 stuff' post to the list at some point - e.g. does Magnus want to continue hosting online docs at: http://stuff.judofyr.net/camping-docs/camping-1.9.335/rdoc/ or could they be elsewhere? And which of the many, many finds out there when you search e.g. 'Camping Ruby' are 1.9/2.0 relevant? Etc. Ummm [thinks]... rubycamping.com, campingruby.com, campingframework.com or (my favourite) camping3k.com/org/net are all available... Dave Everitt

Calendula at a glance :
Calendula grows best when sown directly into the garden.
It tolerates any type of soil and will grow in partial shade to full sun.
Calendula likes water, so be sure that the soil doesn't dry out.
Use the freshly dried flower heads to make creams, salves, liniments, teas, tinctures, and oils, or add the flower heads directly to bathwater to soothe irritated skin.
Use in preparations for healing cuts, scrapes, burns, diaper rash, sores, ulcers, varicose veins, chapped skin and lips, and insect bites.
Collect the flower heads on hot, sunny days for the highest resin content, pick regularly to prevent the plants from putting energy into seed production.
Dry calendula quickly after you harvest it, and check the center of the flower for dryness.
Calendula Salve
1/4 cup dried calendula petals
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/8 cup grated beeswax
10 drops lavender essential oil
- Put olive oil and calendula petals in a small crockpot and heat on low for approximately three hours.
- Lay cheesecloth over the top of a glass measuring cup and secure with a rubber band. Slowly pour the olive oil through the cheesecloth so the petals are caught on top and the oil goes through into the measuring cup.
- Pour strained oil into a heavy saucepan and turn the heat on low. Add the beeswax and stir occasionally until melted. Add the essential oil and stir to distribute.
- Pour into a clean container, leaving uncovered until completely cooled.
- Cap and label. This salve should last for a year.
- Rub a little calendula salve on any cuts, scraps, rashes, or dry skin a few times a day.
- For diaper rash, use after every diaper change.
Calendula compress
1 cup boiling water
Fresh or dried calendula petals
- Pour 1 cup boiling water over fresh or dried Calendula flowers, cover, and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, strain out flowers and reserve the remaining liquid.
- Create a compress by soaking a clean cloth in the herbal infusion and placing it on the skin.
- This process is gentle and may be repeated several times a day.
Calendula compresses can be applied to burns, cuts, scrapes, bee stings, bug bites, inflammations, and other skin irritations.

Paul McDonough Exhibition
Tuesday 02 October 2007
Sasha Wolf's new gallery in Tribeca is opening with an exhibition is of Paul McDonough's New York street work from 1968-1972.
McDonough arrived in New York in 1967 with a 35mm camera and an entrée – through childhood friend Tod Papageorge – into the photography workshops and social networks of street photographer Garry Winogrand.
Emerging from an early career as a studio easel painter, McDonough found photographing on the streets liberating. "It satisfied my sketching impulses," he said. "… I learned to carry a camera everywhere, all the time, loaded with 400-speed film."
This show is a must-see for all lovers of street photography. We recommend heading down to 10 Leonard Street, Tribeca, New York before the show ends on 10th November.
If you can't get there, you can see the show online at www.sashawolf.com
In-Public was set up in 2000 to provide a home for Street Photographers.
Our aim is to promote Street Photography and to continue to explore its possibilities, we are a non commercial collective. All the photographers featured here have been invited to show their work because they have the ability to see the unusual in the everyday and to capture the moment. The pictures remind us that, if we let it, over-familiarity can make us blind to what's really going on in the world around us.Read more

Jeb Bush says he's willing to call a special session of the Legislature in October if they can come up with a plan to deal with the insurance crisis.
Earlier this year, lawmakers spent more than $700 million from the treasury to help reduce the assessments to bail out Citizens Property Insurance, the state run insurance company of last resort.
Gov. Bush says they could do that again in October.
"There may be a chance of providing financial relief for people as well. Our economy is robust. Thanks to the hard work of a lot of people in the state, state government's coffers are running over and I can't think of a more important thing to do than to lessen the blow as we did with the $715 million to lessen the assessment. That's an average of $172 per person who is going to get hit by this assessment. Maybe there's more that we can do in that regard."
But the governor says there won't be a special session this fall unless lawmakers work out some sort of deal in advance.

Sprint HTC Evo View 4G launching with Android 3.0 Honeycomb?
Although it was running Android 2.3 Gingerbread at CTIA 2011 (when Sprint officially announced it), the HTC Evo View 4G might be launched with Android 3.0 Honeycomb after all.
There's a Sprint webpage that shows the Evo View 4G next to the HTC Evo 3D smartphone and – surprise! – the tablet appears as running Android 3.0. Hopefully, this is not just a mistake made by Sprint's employees.
We still don't know when exactly the HTC Evo View 4G will be available, but Sprint said it should happen "this summer."
Until then, HTC has enough time to put Android 3.0 Honeycomb on it, right?

On March 1, 2014, both torrential rains, and the Hurricanes from Carolina came to Los Angeles. Fortunately, both provided a bit of a scare, but ultimately neither left town victorious. The Los Angeles Kings were inside Staples center dealing with the Carolina Hurricanes, while outside, record rainfall was hammering the city.
The Kings have a history of being a bit sluggish during day games at home, so the 1:00 pm PT start time did not seem to be the ideal situation for the home team.
The signs of possible disappointment were there early on:
Midway through the first period, Tyler Toffoli was the beneficiary of a giveaway deep in the Carolina zone, but shanked his shot wide of the vacated net.
Less than a minute later, Dwight King had a partial breakaway but was hooked by Mike Komisarek on his way to the net. On the ensuing power play, Mike Richards had a great chance to tip in Jake Miuzzin's point shot, but tipped it wide of the net.
The Kings finally got on the board late in the first period:
Having shot the puck wide of the net just moments earlier, defenseman Robyn Regehr again had the puck at the left point. This time, he fed the puck across to Mike Richards who was camped out at the bottom of the right faceoff circle. As Richards attempted the severe angle shot, defenseman Ron Hainsey tried to tip the puck away. As a result, the puck knuckleballed, and fluttered past Carolina goalie Anton Khubodin at 19:04 to give the Kings a 1-0 lead.
Regehr's hero status did not last long:
As the first period wound down, Carolina had possession of the puck in the Kings' zone. Defenseman Andrej Sekera ripped a slapshot from the point. It was a high, rising shot which Regehr, who was in the slot in front of goalie Jonathan Quick, tried to glove down. Unfortunately, the puck deflected off Regehr's glove and went past Quick. The game was tied 1-1
In the second period, both teams had good scoring chances, but neither side was able to put the puck in the net.
As the third period approached the halfway point, the hustle of the Kings' line of Trevor Lewis, Kyle Clifford, and Linden Vey paid off in a big way:
Breaking out of their own zone, Vey got the puck to Clifford, who fed a lead pass to Lewis in the neutral zone. As Lewis was about to split the defense and break across the Carolina blueline, Carolina forward Jiri Tlusty took a penalty for tripping Lewis. On the ensuing power play, Dustin Brown went to work. Justin Williams' shot went just wide of the net. Brown retrieved the puck behind the Carolina goal, and fed a pass to defenseman Alec Martinez who hammered the puck into the Carolina net with 11:45 left in the game. That power play goal proved to be the difference, and that power play would not have happened, had the fourth line not been skating hard.
With his team protecting the 2-1 lead, Justin Williams added an empty net goal with 61 secs to play.
Final score; Kings 3, Carolina 1.
Said Martinez, "You have to be good in the third to win games, that's probably a no-brainer. We got the lead, we were tied and then we got the lead and we just found a way to push through and get that go-ahead goal and then just shut it down. But most importantly trying to push it to the next goal and stay on our toes and to not sit back and let them come at us, I think is the most important thing."
This was the Kings' fourth straight win.
Kings outshot Carolina in each period, and by a margin of 31-25 for the game.
The Kings will play against Montreal on Monday in Los Angeles before starting a three-game road trip with a game on Wednesday night in Winnipeg.

1) Jonathan Quick

Nice. Krenkel is a master of composition. Many years ago my friend Ken Quatro--of comicvilleart.com--showed me a Krenkel sketch he'd acquired showing Pompei in its glory. From the lushly detailed market-place in the foreground your eye was led into the deep picture plane depicting a sprawling, teeming ancient metropolis, to finally rest on a tiny and ominously smouldering Vesuvius in the distance. This line drawing had the presence of a wall fresco--and was about 3"x4".ReplyDelete
Beautiful artwork, incidentally, this was also the first blog post on my site! Spent a lot of time scanning and adjusting the scans to bring out the richness in the detail. Although I haven't got to this planned post yet, you should also check out Australian artist Norman Lindsay, who was said to have influenced Krenkel as well as Frazetta. Great page, keep up the great work!ReplyDelete
Cover color assist on figures from Jones. Though in later years neither artist remembered this collaboration, photographs of the back of the painting reveal a contemporaneous note, written by Krenkel, crediting Jones's assistance.ReplyDelete

How do I order my uniform if I'm a CCA?
- At August 29, 2013
- By The Proprietor

I've just completed a new page with a set of instructions to help CCAs understand the process involved in ordering a uniform with your allowance after probation. It comes complete with a printable M$ Word Doc that can be printed out by your local station manager (assuming they're given access to my website, of course. 😉 )
CCA Uniform Purchasing Instruction Guide and FAQ
Is the CCA uniform purchasing program broken?
- At August 29, 2013
- By The Proprietor
- In Postal Uniforms
- 0
While doing a swing on a route, I ran into an 80 year old retired postal worker for the Department of the Post Office in the 1960's, back when it was an actual cabinet department directly under the executive branch. While I was shoving advos into a CBU, I asked him: "when did the post office give you your uniform?" "Within a week", he replied. That just made me chuckle, because I'm six months into my job and I still don't have a uniform.
Why not?
CCAs aren't granted debit cards for uniform purchases. Those debit cards were made for a good reason. There are over 300,000 full-time postal carriers in the country, and we now make up an additional 10%. The scale of bureaucracy is so massive without those debit cards, it means a 1-2 month delay at best. No one is given a set of instructions on all the steps in purchasing a uniform during their orientation or academy, and so the red tape is ultimately perplexing once you've settled into your job. Instead, CCAs are given an authorization form which grants temporary authorization for two weeks to purchase uniforms.
I passed my initial hire probation period on July 7th, at which time I am granted $390 dollars of allowance to purchase my needed uniform pieces. It is now nearing the end of August, so why do I still not have a uniform?
- Confusion about the end of probation. I can tell you, we were all confused as to when this was supposed to be. Even the union president and my station manager both thought it was 90 calendar days at first. "I don't know how they could calculate when the amount of days you worked is" is what one person told me. But sure enough, that's what happened: 120 calendar days or 90 working days, whichever came first, turned out to be the real length of time. In the end, my work days and calendar dates worked out to be about the same, so it didn't matter. It ended up being around 4 months.
- No authorization letter. Even though I finished my probation period on July 7th, it wasn't until two weeks later that the station manager realized I hadn't gotten my authorization letter.
- Lack of info on how, where, and WHAT to buy. Aside from bugging my experienced coworkers, looking for quality items that would last me a decent amount of time was hard to find. I had to do my own research to find out who the vendors and manufacturers were. In order to make a wise consumer purchase, this was important to me.
- An overwhelmed vendor staff. I thought I and the PO were the only ones confused about this, but due to the influx of newly hired CCAs, the customer service dept. of the uniform vendor I was working with was absolutely overflowing with CCA authorization letters, and understandably, mine was misplaced for a week until I called them and prompted them to look for it.
- Lack of preparation amongst management. It's been repeated to me since day one that the CCA program is a new thing, "and we're all learning." The contract had barely passed arbitration a little over a month before we were hired, so there obviously was a large learning curve for everyone in management, not only in regards to uniforms, but so many other administrative policies. We're still working together on solving some of them, too. It didn't happen prior to the hiring, but better late than never. It would probably be a good idea for management to now write and issue a new manual for handling CCA issues, including uniform purchasing.
- Lack of communication. There seems to be this issue of bad information being passed from person to person through word of mouth. This is tied in with the point I just made above. The only way information would be passed around would be through the grapevine, rather than a clear, concise, centralized top-down approach.
- Doesn't fit in with the day-to-day routine. Seriously, the managers are busy enough with daily operations to handle all of this red tape. I honestly don't think they're being given the proper tools to handle this. In the mornings we're casing mail from the moment we clock in, and by the time we're done for the day, no one wants to hang around longer than we need to. Office time is at a premium as it is. If we're standing around dealing with the red tape of faxing auth letters or figuring out who has what invoice, that ends up reflecting on our station's performance and costs the Post Office lots of money.
- Simply too complex. There are too many steps, too many hands, and too many holding points for the process to make this work any more quickly. Authorization letters are held by the vendor for weeks before being processed and batches of invoices sent to the respective post office stations. I don't know if it's a security issue, or if it's merely a business decision not issue out debit cards to CCAs, but I honestly can't see it working for much longer with how it's currently being handled.
So my question is: Is this purchasing program broken?
What makes a good pair of trousers?

Being in the USPS means going through clothes, and as I mentioned in the previous post, there are things to look for that will help ensure that what you buy is going to last you the longest it can.
Alright, so for me, function over form is what's important. The QUALITY needs to be there, or else it's crap. Let's take a look at what makes a good pair of working trousers:
Material. As I've already mentioned, we're kinda screwed on this end. All that's available is a basic 100% polyester 2-on-2 plain weave. If I had my choice, I'd pick a strong gabardine or twill weave, but we don't have that option. It should be made in part with natural fibers to allow the body to breathe. Dacron is also made of awesomesauce. Avoid 100% cotton. It wears out too quickly. Ripstop is also great stuff; I wish they made it for postal workers.
Thread. The seams need to be stitched properly, with good thread. Thread thickness should match the cloth. If thread is stronger than the cloth, the cloth will tear. If the cloth is stronger than the thread, the thread will tear.
Stitches should be no larger than 8 stitches per inch—preferably smaller. Look for double-stitching along the pant-leg side-seam and inseam. The pockets should be French-seamed to prevent wear and fray.
Seam allowances should be serged or covered. This binds the raw edges of the fabric and keeps it from fraying.
Crotches should be reinforced multiple times to keep from blowing out when you drop your keys or picking up your tubs from the hamper. Extra credit if the crotch fork is reinforced with extra fabric or interlining.
Bar tacks are repeated stitches in key points to handle stress on seams, and should be present on pockets, belt loops, rear waistband seam, fly, etc.
French Flies (or is that freedom flies?) are the tab with the button that hides within the fly and ensures that the front won't pop open when sitting or bending over. They're also great for when hitting the lavatory.
Waistbands should have that rubbery stuff called Tex or Ban-Roll along the inside. This keeps your shirts from sliding out. You ARE tucking in your shirt, aren't you? It's regulation!
Lining should be present! At least partial lining ("curtains") should be there in the "rise" (see below). Lined trousers prevent chafing, and help absorb sweat and toxins. The lining should be a cotton or cotton/Dacron blend.
Instead of buying "Relaxed Fit", save some money and buy a size that's one larger than you normally take. It's easier for you to have it taken in than to be let out because the manufacturers leave little extra fabric (inlays) in the seam allowances. "Relaxed" fit simply means that they use more fabric, and pleat or dart around the inseam, rear waistband and seat.
Unhemmed legs are the best option. We're buying these online, so it's hard to determine the inseam for a pair of trousers you haven't worn yet. Either have someone hem your cuffs for 10 bucks or do it yourself with a needle and thread! It takes 30 minutes to do and you can get them exactly to the length you want. Regulation calls for an "unbroken" trouser cuff, so take the time and you'll look great!
Trouser Rise. This is the vertical height from the crotch up to the waistband. The placement of waistband can be anywhere from down on the hips up to natural waist. Modern waistbands are lower than pre-1950 waistbands. Personally, I prefer a higher waist. Not only does this allow for more room for movement, but also less likely to cause strain on the hipbone with our heavy belt items (and they just keep adding them on, don't they?) This would be called the "regular rise" pants.
Dress. When putting on your trousers, for guys, you need to pay attention to "dress." Dress is the polite term for describing which leg your genitals are placed into. In custom tailoring, the customer would tell the tailor which side they "dress" to, and the tailor would make one leg slightly wider near the fork than the other for comfort. If your genitals are sitting on top of the crotch fork, you don't have your trousers pulled high enough. Stop torturing yourself! Keep your pants off the ground.
Things to avoid:
Flex-fit. The type with elastic bands are not only more expensive but reports are coming that due to inferior stitching, they're tearing and popping within a couple weeks of being purchased. Elastic also does not last long periods of time. Plus, we're wearing belts anyway, so the full advantages of flexible waistbands are wasted unless you're keeping your belt too loose. What's the point? Save the money.
Plain Waistbands are not good for what we do! I've already seen a couple models that have these, and having to stuff your shirt into your waistband just makes you look unprofessional!
Polyester! Avoid this stuff. (Yeah, right. We have no other choice right now.) It sticks to the skin when you're hot, promotes chafing, bacteria build-up, blistering of the skin, and body odor! I highly recommend wearing underarmour compression briefs or full leggings to wick sweat and toxins away from your body!
Why all the vendors?

It's been a while since I've written a post. I've been too busy delivering them. For the past four months I've been hiking through peoples' yards in 100+ degree weather, being run over by cars and eaten by dogs. All of my personal pairs of pants are torn and shredded. I am now depending on the virility of my weight-trainer briefs to prevent leg-chafing from the 5-inch slashes in the inner-thighs. Now that I'm past my probation I've been given my allotment money of $390 to spend on whatever form of regulation uniform pieces that I like. In addition, I've been put into the unique charge by my station manager to help all the new carriers find the uniforms they need, so I've been researching into vendors and manufacturers to ensure that we all get the best items.
I live in Reno, NV which does not have a single authorized USPS vendor local to the area. Our only local store went out of business two years ago. Since GSA contracts are only granted every 5 years this means that until a new contract, mail-order catalogs or Internet purchases are the way to go.
There are only three remaining manufacturers that I've found that supply the staple shirts and pants. It took a little bit of investigating to find out who they were, but thanks to a NALC-210 Boycott list made in 2004, it was made a bit easier. Here they are in alphabetical order:
Brookfield/US Uniforms (Subsidiaries of Cintas Corporation)
Fechheimer (Flying Cross Division)
That's it. There are others for other jackets, hats, shoes, accessories, etc., but for the basic pants and shirts, that's it.
Brookfield and US Uniforms is a rather odd situation. The two are independent union-run subsidiaries both owned by Cintas, a non-union-based company. Both of those subsidiaries hire out another company to act as an exclusive in-house manufacturer, which means that all the rest of the vendors listed below are in fact carrying only Elbeco and Fechheimer!
So, why all the vendors?
Seriously, if you type in "USPS Uniform" into Google, the number of vendors selling the same thing is staggering!
- http://www.skaggspostal.com/
- http://www.mypostaluniforms.com/
- http://www.postaluniformdiscounters.com/
- http://www.postaluniformsdirect.com/
- http://www.postaluniformstore.com/
- http://www.postalwarehouse.com/
- http://www.postaluniformsonline.com/
- http://www.bestbuypostaluniforms.com/
- http://www.lyonsuniforms.com/
- http://www.postaluniforms.us/
- https://www.uniformbonus.com/
- http://www.postaluniformwearhouse.com/
- http://www.tomsuniforms.com/
- http://www.postaluniforms1.com/
etc, etc, etc, etc….
And they all apparently sell the same two manufacturer's goods.
Textile Mills and Materials
The U.S. domestic textile mill industry is in bad shape. Mills are going out of business left and right. All the sturdy breathable cloth is all gone. No gabardines or twills are left. No wool, no Dacron. The only available, approved trouser material left is your basic 2-on-2 weave from 100% polyester. Yuck. All the above listed manufacturers get their material from the same handful of approved mills. Quality is going down the drain. We're left with premature wear and tear, and carriers are spending lots more of our own money on replacement uniforms after our allowance is spent. Now, I'm not blaming the government, the regulations, or even the post office for these things. I'm sure that they're doing what little can be done to deal with this unfortunate circumstance we're in. But that means we have to think sharp about how we spend our money and make the best of a bad situation.
In my opinion, the manufacturers need to get in the business of selling directly to us. There would be three great looking sites that are simple to use, and all they need is a "Add to cart" button.
Boonie Hats (or "Sun" hats)
- At August 28, 2013

New employees are only given a very small amount of union allowance money to spend, so being frugal with your dollar is extremely important! One of those things could be your hat, which is mandatory for all carriers en-route.
The USPS now allows "Sun Hats" to be part of regulation uniforms. Traditionally, these hats are called boonie hats or bush hats. These hats have been battle tested in military circles for nearly a century. They're multi-functional with a wide brim (adaptable with an internal wire to allow for multiple configurations to protect against sun and rain. They usually hold a secret internal pocket on the top inner surface for maps, head-cooling products, etc., and have a useful utility braid around its base to maximize its carrying potential. It comes with an adjustable strap to ensure that it stays on your noggin in windy conditions. It's light-weight, is usually made in water-resistant material and stitched in such ways that conform to military-specs.
Here's one video from a trusted source that gives some details as to the construction and value of this hat. You can check out other videos and reviews of the boonie hat easily by doing a video search.
Overall, it is probably the most inexpensive and useful all-terrain hats, and it is now available for us to use on our daily travels. Moreover, there is a plethora of companies that sell this hat online for a mere $7 – $19 dollars…
… so why is it that the sanctified uniform sources sell this hat for upwards of $37.00??
A quick google search reveals other sources that currently make this hat for a cheaper price. Here are some of the first sites that I came across:
The prices for these hats vary, depending on the material, the construction, the features, and other such attributes, but all of these are definitely cheaper than the one with the USPS logo on it, and they all come in navy blue.
Alright, so what's to do about the logo patch? Simple! Buy one for $2 dollars! Here's some links for the proper logo:
Spend 5 to 10 minutes sewing or ironing your logo yourself onto the hat, and there, you've just saved between $10 – $20 dollars on just one item alone. Who cares if the items aren't redeemable? Spend your union allowance money on more hard to find and difficult items!

Syrian Turkmen in Grip of Assad Regime, ISIS and PYD
Oytun Orhan, ORSAM Middle East Specialist
The polarization between the al-Qaeda-linked Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) fighting against the regime in Syria and all other armed opposition groups is deepening.
In fact, although there is no conflict between ISIS and another al-Qaeda-linked group, al-Nusra Front, the dispute is deepening between the two. Also, the Syrian opposition groups have clearly distinguished ISIS from al-Nusra Front. While al-Nusra has a positive image and has been at the forefront of the fight against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime along with the Free Syrian Army, ISIS is seen as a group that does not fight against the regime and that is trying to seize areas liberated by the opposition forces. The opposition is convinced that ISIS is affiliated with the Syrian regime and Iran. The presence of ISIS in northern Syria increasingly worries the opposition. ISIS has been arresting and killing the fighters of other armed groups. Since they have a central authority, they have an advantage over the dispersed opposition.
Another development in northern Syria is the fact that the Kurdish People's Defense Units (YPG), which is the armed militia of the Democratic Union Party (PYD) of the Syrian Kurds, is advancing throughout the area. First, the YPG seized control of tripartite Kurdish regions (Jazirah, Kobani and Afrin). Currently, it is trying to connect the three separate Kurdish regions to one another and spread the conflict into areas populated by Arabs and Turkmen.
The Syrian Turkmen took sides with the opposition along with the Free Syrian Army from the beginning of the uprising. However, the Free Syrian Army is in an extremely weak position in the present multilateral conflicts in Syria. The regime is increasingly growing stronger and, at the same time, al-Qaeda-linked groups or Islamic groups are growing stronger among the armed opposition. Another group with growing influence in Turkmen-populated northern Syria is the Kurdish YPG. Currently, the Turkmen are doing the math on how they can survive in the face of pressure from these three groups.
They are almost all across the country, but the populations of Syrian Turkmen are dense in the rural areas of Aleppo and Latakia near the Turkish border crossing. Although they are not many in number, they live in areas that have strategic importance for Turkey. Two regions of Aleppo and Latakia near the Turkish border gate are also of great importance for the Assad regime, the PYD/YPG and ISIS.
The Turkmen-populated region in northern Latakia is known as Bayir-Bucak. The region is greatly significant for Assad's regime to establish a geographic connection with the Hatay province in Turkey, which is on the border with Syria. Damascus, which has never accepted the annexation of Hatay by Turkey, considers Hatay its own territory and Syria has tried to bring the Hatay issue -- which had been put aside when the sides were in good relations -- to the agenda once again. The Syrian state news agency has recently published maps on its website showing Hatay within the borders of Syria. The Syrian regime attaches great importance to keeping its claim over Hatay alive so that its hand doesn't weaken in regards to the Hatay issue.
The Free Syrian Army troops composed of Turkmen and Arabs in the region have seized control of some 30-kilometers of land between the Latakia province and Hatay. Nevertheless, the regime continues to attack the region by land and air, and thus it is not a safe zone. Therefore, the residential areas have been evacuated to a large extent and the people have migrated to Turkey. Recently, a bigger threat than the regime has appeared for the Bayır-Bucak Turkmen. ISIS has recently been infiltrating the region under the authority of the opposition, and it has been oppressing civilians and Turkmen military groups.
The same situation also applies to the Turkmen population living in northern Aleppo near the Turkish border crossing. Turkmen in this area are densely populated in the area located between Azaz and Jerablus. Turkmen seized control of their own settlements. However, ISIS has recently increased pressure on Turkmen in the region. The commander of a Turkmen military troop was arrested by ISIS on the grounds that he opposed the system ISIS wanted to establish in Jerablus. In addition to this, ISIS threatened fighters of another Turkmen military group, forcing them to join its ranks. Some Turkmen civilians have been killed, particularly in Manbij. Turkmen are worried about the rising oppression of ISIS, although no large-scale violence against the Turkmen has taken place yet.
There are various threats against and fears of the Turkmen populations in Aleppo. The first is that the regime will seize control over the entire central part of Aleppo if it is successful in military operations around Aleppo. Besides, the regime might also seize control of Al-Bab, which serves as a gate from the Turkmen districts in rural areas to central Aleppo. Thus, the regime's army could easily turn toward the region between Azaz and Jerablus. In that case, all the Turkmen in Aleppo who have not yet migrated from their villages and towns will have to migrate to Turkey, because the regime is trying to restore stability by evacuating the settlements in opposition areas.
The third threat for the Turkmen population in Aleppo is that their settlement is among the targets of the Kurdish YPG militia. If the YPG seized control of Tel Abyad, establishing a connection between the eastern (Jazirah) and central (Kobani) parts of the tripartite Kurdish region, its next target would be to seize control of the Azaz-Jerablus region to establish a connection between central and western (Afrin) parts. If the goals stated by YPG spokesman Redur Khalil are achieved, it would come to mean that Turkmen military groups and the YPG will fight against one another.
In the face of all these developments, it should be stated that Turkmen military groups are in no shape to fight against any group. The Turkmen have tried to remain neutral in their region due to their weak position. Furthermore, the Turkmen military groups are worried about the fact that they have fought alongside the Free Syrian Army against al-Akrad, a military group subordinate to the YPG in Jerablus, Azaz and Manbij. The PYD's militia force, the YPG, is showing a tendency of moving toward the Turkmen settlements and the Turkmen groups are not strong enough to resist the YPG if the YPG advances against their settlements.
In that case, the Turkmen in Aleppo may prefer to reach a diplomatic agreement with the PYD/YPG rather than fight against them. Recently, the PYD/YPG has been making efforts to establish closer ties in order to act together with the Free Syrian Army and Turkmen.

Tonyg (Club Member) stayed Jun 2016 This review is for Boroughbridge We have now been to a few camping and cavan sites. This is extremely easy to get to and very convient if it was used as a stop over. This site comprised of two good sized fields, one of which was having lots of new concrete hard standings installed. The site and facilities were very good and also had an activities room as well. There was a friendly welcome, pubs a 15 minute walk away in boroughbridge. Ripon and Newby Hall is a 15 minute drive away and Fountains Abbey and Gardens were very good. The only down side for me, was that if the winds blowing in the wrong direction, the background rumble of the A1 can be noticable.

Very easy to get to from the A1. Close to Knaresborough and Ripon. Light water valley theme park was a good day out and easy to get to from the site. The fish and chip van was a nice addition! As our first visit to a caravan and camping club site it gave us a good first impression of what to expect from the club sites. We really enjoyed it so much so that we have booked again.

I personally wouldn't book the all service pitches these seem to be the worst sighted as the are to the left of the entrance so you get all the road noise which is very busy from the dairy traffic and vehicles coming from the static site . Yes you can hear a hum from the refridgeration units but it didn't bother us and traffic noise from the A1,Roecliffe is a 15min walk away and we recommend the Crown lovely meals and Dog friendly ,Borrougbridge is a steady 20min walk .Would we go back yes.
