HOUSING UNITS: Andersen AFB has 1390 housing units on base. The following breakout is provided for your information:
Hsg Cat Grades 2br 3br 4br Total
The housing at Andersen AFB has withstood numerous severe typhoons and a major earthquake. For this reason, you can feel safe in our housing. The houses are constructed of concrete block or concrete and may look somewhat different in design than what you are used to. Carpeting is also being installed during the change of occupancy maintenance.
All housing units have central air conditioning. Private window air conditioning units are not allowed in military family housing. Renovated and most unrenovated units have dishwashers installed. The electricity is a standard 110 volts, 60-cycle current.
LIMITED STORAGE SPACE: Housing units are equipped with refrigerators, electric stoves, washers, and dryers. Storage space is extremely limited. The housing units are smaller than what you are probably used to. Most of the housing does not have exterior storage for mowers, bicycle, etc. Some occupants have built a small storage shed in the carport area through a self-help project (Capehart). Metal storage sheds are prohibited due to typhoons. Bring only the furniture and items, which you feel you must have. Any excess will not be stored or returned to the states. You will not be assigned a larger housing unit because your personal furnishings are too large for the quarters. Do bring basic yard care items including a lawn mower and weed eater, if you already have them. Yard upkeep is stressed at Andersen AFB.
CARPORTS: All units in Capehart and Fleming Heights have carports. Roberts Terrace units do not have carports. Be sure to have your vehicle rust-proofed prior to shipping to Guam. The humidity here quickly rusts and corrodes metal.
FLOOR PLANS: The following floor plans are a sampling to give you an idea of the different layouts of our housing units. The plans are too numerous to provide a complete set in the brochure. Please remember that you are not guaranteed a certain floor plan of type of house. Once you are assigned a specific housing unit, we will be glad to provide you with the floor plan of your unit and basic window sizes. The average net square feet of our housing units are as follows:
Hsg Cat Grades 2br 3br 4br

This year marks the Tenth Annual Poz Cruise with a round-trip sailing on the Celebrity Summit from San Juan to the Caribbean islands of Barbados, St. Lucia, Antigua, St. Maarten and St. Thomas, November 1- 8.
Paul Stalbaum, president of Cruise Designs Travel in Wilton Manors, Florida is the originator and organizer of the Cruise Retreat idea, and expects this year's cruise to be another memorable holiday. We spoke to Paul by phone this week and he told us that "Because I'm based in Florida, we've always cruised from either Miami or Fort Lauderdale. This year we wanted to give our clients a more exotic cruise, so we chose the Celebrity Summit's itinerary round trip from San Juan, Puerto Rico. We've already signed up many of our repeat cruisers - men and women, straight and gay, all who are either HIV-positive or who are allies, family or friends of the cruisers.".
Paul designed the social retreats as a yearly getaway which has proven to give those on board a fresh look at life,and most return home feeling better about themselves, having connected with new friends and re-connected with guys and girls they've met in past years. And, truth be told, it's also fun, fun, fun.
The Celebrity Summit, www.celebritycruises.com.,will be the group's hotel for a week. The Summit is known for outstanding cuisine, superior service and entertainment, and a cozy yet sleek modern décor. In fact, Celebrity Cruises has been named the number one large cruise line by both Travel & Leisure and Conde Nast magazines – even though the Celebrity Summit is one of their smaller more intimate ships. These writers have been on board and can personally attest to the welcoming atmosphere and friendly attentive service that is a hallmark of the Celebrity Summit and the line's other up-market ships.
This 10th Cruise Retreat's first port of call out of San Juan is Barbados, where snorkeling is a key activity. St Lucia is next with its rain forest, volcanoes and hot water springs. Paul calls this one of his personal favorite Caribbean islands.
The next day 'the Retreat' arrives in Antigua which boasts 365 beaches, one for every day of the year. Next up is St Maarten, which offers clothing optional Orient Bay Beach for those who are so inclined. The final stop is St Thomas, great for shopping, and Magen's Bay Beach and Little Magen's - a small gay-friendly beach – and a cable-car trip to the highest point on the island. It's such a spectacular panoramic view from Paradise Point,700 feet above sea-level, that it will take your breath away.
Returning as emcee for the fifth year is the popular author and blogger, Mark S King. Mark's blog "My Fabulous Disease" is one of the most widely read HIV+ blogs in the country. (Don't miss the embedded video attached to this article to find Mark in action). Paul tells us that Mark's flair for humor and his ability to connect to the group has the ability make the 300 plus retreat guests fit in right from the beginning with the general cruise population.
The Poz Cruise is the only one of its kind. Special events, disco nights, game nights and excursions offer participants the chance to bond with fellow group members. The feeling of camaraderie is palpable, and this helps even the shyest first-timer to want to look forward to the next Cruise Retreat.
Paul Stalbaum is personally familiar with the Celebrity Summit – he was a guest on its inaugural cruise back in 2008. His focus on hosting the Poz Retreat cruises is that guests enjoy themselves as a social 'family' group, leaving their troubling issues at home, to simply relax and enjoy while on board. This year there are more 'repeat' guests than ever; mostly Americans and Canadians, but some will be joining the November sailing from Europe and Saudi Arabia.
A cruiser from California told Paul that when he first found out that he was HIV-positive he was devastated, but told his mother, who was understanding and accepting of his status. When he discovered Poz Cruises, he booked a stateroom for himself AND his mother - as a 'thank you' for her kindness. They had the best time on vacation that they've ever had, and have re-booked every year since.
For more information contact Paul Stalbaum, Cruise Designs Travel, 1534 NE 16th Terrace Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304 Phone: 954.566.3377 Fax: 954.566.5109, or visit www.cruisedesignstravel.com.

Congress Taxes Back AIG Bonuses
Passes 90 percent tax on bonuses of AIG, others.
The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would basically recoup the AIG bonuses by just taxing the hell out of them. Introduced by New York's Charles Rangel, the bill targets AIG but would affect the bonuses of employees making $250,000 from any company that received at least $5 billion in government bailout money. Sounds like a pretty clever way to get back that vile bonus money without breaking AIG's sacred contracts, right? Well, it's not quite that simple.
First, there doesn't seem to be a clear consensus on whether this is actually even constitutional. Harvard's celebrated constitutional scholar Laurence Tribe thinks it is, but others believe it could "trigger years of litigation" anyway which is actually why the bonuses weren't blocked in the first place. But Democrats are more concerned right now with getting this monkey off their backs, and quick.
Meanwhile, Republicans have had a hell of a good time shouting about the outrages of these bonuses, but many would much rather keep the Democrats in hot water than actually resolve the issue. Plus the phrase "90 percent tax" alone makes them light-headed. So the debate on the House floor basically consisted of everyone yelling at each other about various things, and it was actually pretty riveting television. Ultimately though, enough Republicans probably didn't want to appear to "side" with the AIG fat cats, and the measure passed. Phew. If we never hear the word "bonuses" again, it'll be too soon. Of course, we will the Senate will take up a similar bill next week.

All bundled up in scratchy winter woolens, enduring the Artic chills, dry airplane cabin air and perhaps dehydrating internally with cold meds, you might feel like the skin on your body is flaky, flabby and will never be pretty again! Giving yourself a confidence boost and moisture replenishment from head to toe is a "needed" luxury! You'll feel better about going to the gym, shopping for cruise wear, and just going about your daily business. You'll feel more glamorous! That's why I was very glad to be hosted to experience Natura Bissé Diamond Body Cream.
Natura Bissé is considered one of the most globally coveted luxe skincare brands -- based in Barcelona -- and was named "Best Luxury Spa Brand" by NewBeauty Choice Awards (US). It's available at select destination spas and boutique cosmetics stores.
It's packaged in a wide-mouthed jar, which give a sense of indulgence when dipping in with your hand. It has a lush, abundant lavender bouquet to its nose upon application, but dries down to a very faint lavender-powder finish. It's definitely a sophisticated scent.
Its texture is somewhere between a cream and a lotion, with plenty of silky slip. Upon application, it absorbs instantly, leaving a dry to the touch satin feel to the skin.
Its finish is a hydrated glossy glow, plumping up each area of your body. With properly hydrated skin, everything looks firmer, more alive. It's a better investment than a one-off spa treatment.
This is what they say about it:
An extraordinary and absolute pleasure for the senses as well as an anti-aging body treatment that provides unprecedented firming results. This luxurious cream nourishes the skin and helps prevent skin aging in areas such as the arms and thighs, as well as flaccidity in the abdomen.
Contains firming ingredients that revitalize and stimulate dormant cells.
Provides exceptional hydration for a softer, sculpted and firmer skin.
Skin feels satiny.
275 ml. / 9.5 oz. Jar

Where Terry stands on the issues
Keeping taxes low
Terry knows how important it is for the General Assembly to hold down taxes, especially when so many families and businesses are struggling to make ends meet during these difficult economic times. On the Board of Supervisors, Terry has helped keep local taxes low while ensuring local schools remain top notch and public safety was fully funded. As your next Delegate, he will use that experience to insist that Richmond stretches every hard-earned dollar you pay in taxes and to ensure that taxes are kept low.
Attracting new jobs
As a successful small business owner, Terry knows that the private sector is the best engine to create jobs. As your next Delegate, Terry will work to reduce red tape and unnecessary regulation on small business owners so they can better compete and grow. And Terry will push for common-sense economic development programs that help market Western Virginia as a prime location for businesses looking to relocate or expand.
Standing up for your gun rights
Terry is committed to upholding and defending your liberties and constitutional rights as your next Delegate, especially your right to own and carry a firearm. He is a gun owner and staunch supporter of the Second Amendment. You can count on Terry to oppose any efforts to restrict your gun rights or undermine Western Virginia's hunting heritage.
Defending the traditional values that build strong communities
Terry is a strong supporter of the traditional Virginia faith-based values that are the bedrock of strong communities and strong families. He is proudly pro-life and will support additional efforts to protect the unborn. Terry also supports laws that protect every Virginian's right to openly proclaim and practice their faith.
Making sure Western Virginia children have world-class schools
Terry understands that our children need excellent local schools in order to learn the skills needed to compete in an ever-changing high-tech global economy. As a Supervisor, he makes sure that classroom teachers have the resources to provide a world-class education to local students. As your next Delegate, Terry will continue to stand up for educational excellence that is measurable so that parents can continually assess their local school's quality. And Terry will work to ensure that Virginia's public colleges and universities continue to be among the best in the nation.

Former First Lady Nancy Reagan's funeral on Friday will be private, but members of the public will be able to pay their respects at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library during the week.
Reagan, 94, died at her home in Los Angeles on Sunday from congestive heart failure. She will lie in repose from 1 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation announced Monday. She will be buried next to her husband, who died at the age of 93 in 2004, at the library. The White House announced Monday that First Lady Michelle Obama will attend the funeral. Catherine Garcia
A petition to Parliament arguing "if the remain or leave vote is less than 60% based a turnout less than 75% there should be another referendum" on Brexit has attracted more than 3 million signatures from Britons since this past week's vote.
The request is so popular that its traffic briefly crashed the entire parliamentary website.
Wow, 3 million people have now signed the #Brexit re-do petition.https://t.co/utuYGPT8dM pic.twitter.com/m4ZHT2fMUw
— Gissur Simonarson CN (@GissiSim) June 26, 2016
Though the effort is considered unlikely to succeed, petitioners do have on their side the fact that the original vote is technically not legally binding, so the government could (in theory) overrule it. Needless to say, the political backlash from such a move would be immense, and even a new vote might not swing results in favor of remaining in the European Union.
The Iraqi army retook the final piece of territory held by Islamic State fighters in Fallujah on Sunday, confirming a tentative win declared a week ago when a small number of terrorists had yet to be routed.
The city was controlled by ISIS since January of 2014, when the then-nascent terrorist organization had yet to declare a "caliphate" in Iraq and Syria. Sunday's victory came after five weeks of fighting in which 1,800 ISIS militants were killed.
"We announce from this place in central Golan district that it has been cleaned by the counter terrorism service," said Iraqi Lieutenant General Abdul Wahab al-Saidi, "and we convey the good news to the Iraqi people that the battle of Fallujah is over."
Now, however, a humanitarian crisis lingers, as refugees from the war-torn city are crowded into nearby camps with inadequate supplies of food, water, medicine, and shelter. Some 85,000 people have fled the fighting in Fallujah, and aid agencies are struggling to keep up. "People are going to die," said Karl Schembri of the Norwegian Refugee Council, "because they are exposed to the elements and the searing heat." Bonnie Kristian
Britain's Tory prime minister, David Cameron, announced his resignation following the Brexit vote — but now it looks like Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, who supported remaining in the EU, may lose his position of power as well.
Corbyn fired Hilary Benn, his shadow foreign secretary, Saturday evening, and another one of Corbyn's senior advisers on the shadow cabinet soon resigned. "I do not believe you have the capacity to shape the answers our country is demanding," former shadow health secretary Heidi Alexander wrote in her public resignation letter to Corbyn, "and I believe that if we are to form the next government, a change of leadership is essential."
Additional resignations are expected amid rumors of a open party coup to oust Corbyn in the near future. With Alexander, Corbyn's opponents argue his failure to prevent Brexit bodes poorly for attempts to reclaim power in Parliament. Bonnie Kristian
Britain has voted to leave the European Union, but the now-official Brexit won't happen overnight. The EU has a formal, two-year exit process, which Irish Foreign Minister Charlie Flanagan said Saturday should not coincide with an Irish unity vote.
"I share the view that at some stage in the future that the unification would be in the best interests of the people but only when there is a majority consent of the people in Northern Ireland," Flanagan remarked, adding, "We now have a situation following the referendum, where the UK is leaving the European Union. Any further referendums in Northern Ireland would cause a greater level of division than we have now and is therefore in my view particularly unhelpful."
His comments come after Deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland Martin McGuinness called for the unity vote on Friday, arguing that the British government "now has no democratic mandate to represent the views of the North in any future negotiations with the European Union" because 56 percent of Northern Irish voters backed remaining in the EU. Bonnie Kristian
Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump doesn't have much in the way of campaign infrastructure — in fact, one recent report revealed he employs a mere 30 campaign staff nationwide, the same as what his likely general election opponent, Hillary Clinton, has in Iowa alone.
But now that Trump is beginning to recognize he'll need more help to claim the Oval Office, he has discovered very few experienced GOP advisers are willing to work with him.
"Right now I feel no obligation to lift a finger to help Donald Trump," said Brent Swander, a Republican logistics coordinator who has worked on multiple presidential campaigns. "Everything that we're taught as children — not to bully, not to demean, to treat others with respect — everything we're taught as children is the exact opposite of what the Republican nominee is doing," Swander added. "How do you work for somebody like that? What would I tell my family?"
Scott Smith, formerly of the George W. Bush, Rick Perry, and Ted Cruz outfits, echoed Swander's sentiments. "It's very clear that none of us are going to work for Trump," he said. "Even if I wanted to work for Trump, my wife would kill me." Bonnie Kristian
A group of militants suspected to be from Somalia's al Shabaab Islamist terrorist organization launched an attack on a hotel popular among government officials in the country's capital of Mogadishu on Saturday.
The assault began when a suicide bomber detonated a vehicle by the gate of Hotel Nasa Hablod, after which additional fighters rushed inside the building, firing weapons. "We attacked the hotel which was frequented by the apostate government members," an al Shabaab spokesman told Reuters.
At least seven people have died in the raid so far, including hotel workers and civilians. "They were shooting at everyone they could see," said an eyewitness named Ali Mohamud. "I escaped through the back door," he added.
Local law enforcement have arrived at the hotel, where they have rescued people through the rear entrance and killed at least two of the terrorists. The fighters took an unknown number of hostages inside the building. Bonnie Kristian
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is considering a new policy which would request that foreign visitors to the United States voluntarily provide their social media accounts for the feds to peruse. Travelers would be asked to give "information associated with your online presence," including usernames on any social media network where they are active.
The department argues this information would "enhance the existing investigative process and provide DHS greater clarity and visibility to possible nefarious activity and connections by providing an additional tool set which analysts and investigators may use to better analyze and investigate the case."
But the plan is already subject to pushback. It's "very unclear what [federal officials] plan to do" with the information they would collect, said Joseph Lorenzo Hall of the Center for Democracy and Technology. After all, he added, the government has "a really horrible track record interpreting ... comments on social media, and interpreting them as meaning grave threats." Bonnie Kristian

Abortion supporters sometimes have bumperstickers that say, "Prayerfully pro-choice." The implication here is that they have consulted God about a procedure that dismembers little babies, and have found it to be OK.
This is a classic example of using faith against reason.
The God who gives us faith also gives us common sense. Nothing that truly comes from God is ever going to tolerate the killing of innocent human beings. Faith should never be used to contradict reason.
The "Prayerfully pro-choice" slogan is also an example of using God's name in vain. That commandment doesn't just forbid cursing. It forbids invoking God to justify actions that offend him. The God whom we approach in prayer does not send us forth to prayerfully butcher little children in abortion mills. Nor does he allow us to tolerate it.

In the January 1959 Mercury program plan, flights of the capsule on a Jupiter IRBM were to take place in addition to flights atop the Redstone and Atlas boosters. The second Mercury-Jupiter flight was planned as a maximum dynamic pressure test to qualify a production Mercury capsule with a chimpanzee aboard. A human astronaut was considered briefly before the Mercury-Jupiter flights were cancelled in July 1959 on cost grounds.
First Launch: First quarter 1960.

This was the event, perhaps more importantly, this is the time in his life that Diamondbacks' right-hander Bronson Arroyo wanted to avoid.
Since turning pro with the Gulf Coast Pirates in 1995, Arroyo has never been on the disabled list because of arm issues. In the minors during the 1996 and 1998 seasons, he was on the DL for an infected right foot and sprained left ankle, and hoped to avoid being disabled due to an arm injury.
At age 37, Arroyo is now at the stage of his career where arm injuries can be complicated. By his own admission, the swelling and discomfort in his right elbow over the past month is an amalgam of years of wear and tear. Coming into his season with Arizona, Arroyo started 355 major league games and pitched a total of 2,321 innings.
For this season, add another 14 starts and 86 innings and the result is a natural deterioration of muscle and strength. After Arroyo beat the Dodgers last Sunday, he indicated any effectiveness was lost because of the drop in velocity. Now, an MRI conducted on Monday shows inflammation to the right flexor in his right elbow and an unwanted journey to the disabled list.
As a result, Arroyo was placed on the 15-day disabled list with what the Diamondbacks have identified as a sprain of the right ulnar collateral ligament.
"I've been beat up for while," he said after Monday night's game with the Brewers in Chase Field. "This is the first time I'm on the DL and wanted to avoid this. I guess the MRI showed a lot of stuff from pitching for so long."
Arroyo said he first felt the pain increase after beating Stephen Strasburg and the Nationals in the Chase Field on May 13. In his next start in St. Louis on May 21, the pain increased, he said, and that started a stretch of three games in which Arroyo lost twice and experienced one no-decision.
Despite winning his subsequent three starts but with the pain and swelling increasing with each outing, Arroyo agreed with manager Kirk Gibson that he reached the end of his current value after five innings last Sunday in Dodger Stadium.
After that game, Gibson told reporters there was genuine concern for Arroyo's future and an MRI was order for Monday.
Now, Arroyo is shut down for at least two weeks and will not touch a baseball. After this period, there are a few more weeks to see how his arm responds. By that time, the season will likely past the All-Star break and Arroyo's future for the rest of the campaign could be in jeopardy.
"I don't know how my arm will react," Arroyo said. "I pride myself on durability and now, this. I hoped to finish my career without this, so we'll see how things go."
The Diamondbacks have invested quite a bit in Arroyo and general manager Kevin Towers admitted that the organization saw some floating bone chips in his right elbow prior to signing this past off-season. Still, he passed a physical but developed a bulging disc in his lower back during spring training. That put Arroyo behind the rest of the staff and Gibson said he sensed a prolonged transition from the disc injury to relative health a few weeks into the season.
That didn't stop Towers from offering a two-year deal with Arroyo worth $9.5 million this year, $9.5 million in 2015 and $11 million in the 2016 option year. Should the Diamondbacks decide not to exercise the option, there is a $4.5 million buyout.
To this point in the season, the value for Arroyo was strong and he went on the DL leading the D-backs in wins with seven and third in innings pitched among starters.
Still, the Diamondbacks appear to have a major decision to make and the Arroyo's future in Sedona Red deserves an answer.
While management and Arroyo may be uncertain about the days and weeks ahead, both parties appear comfortable with the old-age notion that "time will tell."

After as a preposition and conjunction
After means 'later than' and 'next in time or place'.
After can be used before a noun phrase (as a preposition):
Shall we have a swim after lunch?
The bank is just after the park, on the left.
After can introduce a clause (as a conjunction):
After I left him a message, he phoned me immediately.
She did voluntary work in a hospital after she graduated.
We use the present simple following after when referring to the future:
I'll contact you after we reach the airport.
After or afterwards as an adverb
We can use after as an adverb, but afterwards is more common. When after is used, it is usually as part of an adverb phrase:
They lived happily ever after. (means 'for ever')
She had an operation on her leg and afterwards was unable to walk for at least a month.
After: typical error
When after refers to future time, we use the present simple, not the future with shall or will:
I'll do another course after I finish this one.
Not: …
after I will finish…

Finding a legitimate wholesaler on the internet is a challenge. A large percentage of wholesalers are located in China, which can be risky, or they require an up-front registration or membership fee. Others are not true or legitimate wholesalers at all – they are middlemen who use the label "wholesaler" loosely. Prices can be too high to allow for any profit in the eBay marketplace. Here are a few tips to help eBay resellers find legitimate wholesalers or suppliers:
1. Forget the large companies with membership fees. Enough eBay sellers are already offering those products at razor-thin margins. You should not have to pay a membership or registration fee to begin selling a supplier's products. Someone is usually making an affiliate commission when a membership to a wholesaler is purchased.
2. Scope out small to medium-sized companies with a niche product. For example, visit local farmer's markets and look for locally made items such as skin care products, gourmet food products, or gift items. Get ideas for what is made in your area that is a good fit with an eCommerce business. Also visit organic grocery stores like Whole Foods and pay attention to the stations giving out free samples. These may be products made by local companies trying to get shelf space in a large supermarket.
3. Google is your friend. For example, if you specialize in pet products, do a variety of different searches on Google using keywords for products in the pet niche, such as dog collars wholesale, dog shampoo wholesale, or organic dog treats wholesale. Look beyond the first page of Google. Good information can be buried deep in the search. Use different words and do lots of searches. The information is there - it just takes time to find it.
4. Look on eBay for products in your niche that are selling well. Look up the brand names and visit their websites. Many companies have a bulk buying or reseller program. It may not be true wholesale, but items can be purchased in quantity for a lower cost, and smaller companies are often willing to negotiate on price.
5. Importing from China is cheap, but can be complicated. You may need a customs agent which costs money. Products ordered from China are often shipped in large quantities (which is why they are so cheap), so consider how the items will be transported from the delivery location and storage space. Ordering 10,000 products at once involves risk and takes some planning.
6. Consider how unique the product is and how easily other sellers (competitors) can obtain it. Anyone with a big enough bank account can order 10,000 plastic widgets from China. But not everyone can order a unique locally made product in your area. Support smaller local businesses with interesting or unusual niche products.

Three Days Grace: One-X Showtimes and Tickets
Read Movie Reviews about Three Days Grace: One-X Write a Movie Review for Three Days Grace: One-X
Release Date: 2008-08-25 (Limited)
Genre: Concert,
Rating: NR
Duration: 1hr 25min
Three Days Grace, known for breakout hit songs, "I Hate Everything About You" and "Just Like You," bring concert film "One-X" to theaters for one night only. A raw, confessional performance, "One-X" finds frontman Adam Gontier delving into a sense of utter loneliness that ironically comes from being constantly surrounded by other people. "One-X" is simultaneously the story of Gontier's personal destruction on the road, and it is a universal tale of feeling like an outsider. When the band emerged, it had a heavy, highly emotional album in hand. "One-X" is rife with anguished-fueled vocals, heavy beats and rough chords. Backed by the thunderous rhythm section of Neil Sanderson on drums and Brad Walst on bass and the thrashing urgent riffs of Barry Stock on guitar, "One-X" is a roller coaster ride through Gontier's psyche. Intensely honest, Gontier leaves nothing out; it sounds as if he's ripping pages from his journal.

Christmas Gunny!
Gunther's second Christmas is coming up. He is looking forward to spending time with all of the aunts and uncles he doesn't see all the time. Gunther is doing just fine! He is enjoying the new snow that has fallen. He goes crazy running around in it!
Last Sunday, Gunther did his first therapy session at a nursing home through St. Johns Ambulance. Marsha came with us, and she said he did wonderful. We weren't there for a long time, she said she didn't want to do overwhelm him and keep him there too long. He was very calm, and didn't jump up too many times. We will be going next Sunday, and then we are on our own for the next upcoming weeks. I am looking forward to when Gunther gets his bandana and tag for his collar!
Gunther just finished his dog training class. Graduation will be in January. I am thinking of signing up for clicker training. I think that would be nice for him. I know he will like the challenge, and the treats! LOL
Below is Marc and Gunther last night. Marc's co-worker gave Gunny a coat so we were seeing if it fit. You may be able to see in the picture it fits him a little too tight. Gunther looked like a stuffed sausage, and DID NOT like wearing it. He gave us the typical bulldog stink eye and basically stood still. He does not like constricting things. It was funny though!
On that note, Gunther hopes all his doggy friends have a Very Merry Christmas!! Woof!

4 Home Remodeling Myths
There's a lot of home improvement advice circling the 'net, but you can't believe everything you hear. We've tracked down 4 remodeling myths that have duped homeowners for decades – do yourself a solid and watch out for these home improvement blunders.
#1 - Imaginary Value
Many homeowners believe that every remodeling project will add resale value to their home. This is simply not true. Beware the large-scale, time-consuming money pits that couldn't possibly pay for themselves in the long run. For increasing your home's value, you should check with a local real estate agent to find out what buyers in your area are looking for. See which home improvement projects give your region the best bang for your buck and plan wisely from there.
#2 - Contractor Schmontractor
When it comes to the hands-on handy homeowner stuff, many guys think they can swing a hammer like the best of 'em. Truth be told, a good contractor is priceless and not every male can make a good contractor. You could wind up spending more money by trying to save money doing the work yourself. Know your limits and let the professionals handle the rest. Oh, and be on the lookout for experienced contractors. Every day, several out-of-work 9-5ers get up and decide to be a contractor. When you hire a pro, don't just look for the cheapest estimate, look at years in business, customer references and see if he/she has a portfolio to show you previous projects they've completed.
#3 - Fad-tastic Remodels
You know how we laugh at shag carpet, gaudy wallpaper and avocado appliances? Well, those things were all the bees knees in their day. The key to remodeling is to find a look that can stand the test of time. What's trendy today may be the laughingstock of tomorrow. If you plan to own your home forever, remodel any which way that makes you happiest. However, if you're like most folks and plan to move again in another five years or so, you may want to stick to more traditional styles and neutral colors.
#4 - Cement Ponds
One of the most popular home additions is the swimming pool, especially if your remodeling fantasies take place on a hot day. Many people assume that a pool in the backyard will add value to their home when it comes time to sell. The truth is that although pools are great, they can also be viewed as a liability. If you live in a frequently warm part of the country where the pool season is long, by all means add a pool. If, however, you live in a region where summers are shorter and pools are not a tremendous benefit, then you could be spending an awful lot of money for something no buyer would want.
Besides giving the family a place to swim, think of all the other things a pool does. It raises your homeowner's insurance, has the potential for causing injuries, is expensive to operate and maintain, and takes up a significant portion of the yard. If you don't live in a largely pool-friendly zone, you might want to consider spending your money on landscaping instead—it has a huge impact on the impression buyers get when they see your home.

Walleye Tagging Study Will Continue in 2011
The Department will be tagging walleyes again this spring at several locations across the Commonwealth. The tagging is part of an ongoing study designed to learn more about angler catch rates and harvest of walleyes. In 2011, tagging is planned for Lake Brittle, Lake Orange, Philpott Reservoir, Hungry Mother Lake, and the upper New River.
Anglers who catch a tagged fish and return the tag will receive a cash reward of 20 dollars. The tag will be located near the fish's dorsal fin. Anglers can remove the tag by cutting through the plastic attachment with scissors or a knife. The fish can then be released or harvested (minimum length limits apply). Successful anglers can return the tag and catch information to the address printed on the tag. Important catch data include the contact information of the angler and the answers to a few simple questions. What were the date, time and general location of the catch? Was the fish harvested or released? Were you fishing for walleyes? Finally, did you catch other walleyes? Postage paid envelopes for tag returns are available at Department offices and local tackle shops.
The information gathered from successful anglers will help biologists make important decisions about managing walleye fisheries in Virginia. In 2010, a total of 900 walleyes were tagged at six locations across the Commonwealth. Successful anglers returned tags from 140 of these fish. Tag return rates ranged from 10 to 21 percent among the locations, with an overall average of 17 percent. Lake Orange had the highest rate of return at 21 percent. The other small lakes and the upper New River had similar return rates (16 to 19 percent). Walleyes were a bit harder to catch in the larger reservoirs, which had return rates ranging from 10 to 16 percent.
Biologists also determined that only 57 percent of anglers who caught a tagged fish in 2010 returned the tag. So, the actual percentage of walleyes caught each year by anglers is much higher than the tag returns indicate. Every data point is important to the research project, so if you catch a tagged walleye in 2011, please take the time to return the tag and catch information and collect your reward.

City Football Club ("City FC®") may be a grassroots program, but on Sunday, May 3, City FC® went all way to the top of the national game.
Pia Sundhage, head coach of the U.S. Women's National Team, joined City FC® players, coaches and staff at the Maryland SoccerPlex for a special one-hour question-and-answer opportunity ahead of the Washington Freedom's 3-3 draw with the St. Louis Athletica.
Coach Sundhage, a former Swedish international who finished sixth in the voting for FIFA Women's Player of the Century, warmly received and answered questions from her City FC® hosts and posed for several photographs with the group.
"This was a tremendous thrill," said City FC® Program Director and Coach Dan Driscoll. "It's rare a thing to have the undivided attention of a coach and player like Coach Sundhage. She was so warm and genuine with our kids and their families, and her responses and comments will undoubtedly stick with our kids throughout their careers."
Though thunderstorms washed out plans for a clinic and scrimmage scheduled to coincide with Coach Sundhage's appearance at one of the SoccerPlex's immaculate training pitches, Maryland SoccerPlex Executive Director Trish Heffelfinger arranged for the City FC® group to gather at the covered porch in front of the SoccerPlex's indoor facility.
After their chat with Coach Sundhage, City FC®'s families made their way into the SoccerPlex's Championship Stadium, courtesy of free tickets provided by Marc Dombek of the Washington Freedom and DC Stoddert Soccer, Inc., City FC®'s parent organization. Coach Sundhage made the trip to Washington from her native Sweden in order to evaluate some of her USWNT players like the Freedom's Abby Wambach and Athletica's Hope Solo and Lori Chalupny. Top international opponents like the Freedom's Homare Sawa of Japan and Athletica's Daniela of Brazil were also competing. The match proved to be a thriller, with the Freedom overcoming a late two-goal deficit to salvage a 3-3 tie.
"For most players, the chance to interact with and learn from a national-level coach like Coach Sundhage is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," noted Driscoll. "This was definitely a truly special moment for City FC®, and for many of us, a meeting with a personal hero."
City Football Club ("City FC®"), a program of DC Stoddert Soccer, was established in 2007 to provide District youth with a curriculum combining excellent soccer coaching and first-rate mentorship and college preparation. City FC® is organized exclusively for charitable purposes as an educational non-profit. Its objective is to bring together the City's youth for educational and recreational opportunities, including but not limited to soccer.

The legendary Cam'ron and hip-hop "It" kid Drake. We know you guys are still loving Drake's So Far Gone mixtape, but are you rocking that new Cam'ron album yet? How do you feel about Killa's return, and does his new album stack up against Purple Haze, or Come Home With Me and his other pre-Dipset joints? Let us know in the comments section. It's day two of week two of the new Mixtape Daily, and again, we want to send love for all the support. Keep checking for us at MTVNews.com Monday-Friday, and — duhn, duhn, duhn, duhn! — at our brand-new URL: Mixtape.MTV.com. Let's go in!
Don't Sleep: Necessary Notables
Independent Album: Crime Pays
Starring: Cam'ron
Records We Can't Stop Playing: "Got It for Cheap," "Silky" and "Get It in Ohio"
Essential Info: One thing Cam'ron said he doesn't know how to do is fall back. Killa told us that even before his three-year hiatus — during which he spent a significant amount of time taking care of his mother who had three strokes — he contemplated retiring from rap.
"It was a time when I was thinking about that, before my moms got sick," Cam admitted. "I was like, 'All right, I got everybody off the ground. I kinda been doing this for a while. Let me fall back and maybe look into some other things.' "
Cam said he couldn't stop coming up with lines. "During that time period, I'd be somewhere eating, thinking of some rhymes. Or I'd be in my living room, thinking of some rhymes. I can't stop even if I wanted to stop," he explained. "It doesn't matter where I'm at — if I'm somewhere sitting still for more than an hour, rhymes start popping in my head. … It's just kinda instilled in me."
Cam drops his long-overdue Crime Pays on Tuesday, and when he spoke with us, he came on the humble. Homie is genuinely glad to be back.
Who's next and who dominates — right here, all week long!.

"I'm just privileged to still be around," he said. "You got people that come in, one album, two albums, and they're gone. A lot of people couldn't take the break I took and come back into the game and people be checking for them. People would be like, 'F— him.' That's the one thing I did realize taking this break, how much love I got. When you constantly working, working, you don't really get to appreciate the fans and people loving your stuff. Places I went to where I didn't even know people listen to rap, there were [fans] that would be like, 'Please come back.' "
Skitzo and AraabMuzik did the majority of the beats, and Killa rocked most of the records with no guest rappers. Everyone talks about the reunion of Cam and the Dipset, but can we get some Killa over Just Blaze and Kanye beats again?
Mixtape: So Far Gone
Starring: Drake
Records We Can't Stop Playing: "Successful" (featuring Trey Songz and Lil Wayne), "Ignant Sh–" (featuring Lil Wayne), "A Night Off" (featuring Lloyd) and "Say What's Real"
Essential Info: We mentioned this same mixtape early this year when we were only going once a week. Now that we're daily, it gives us a little more freedom to properly trumpet the sounds of Drake. Young Drizzy continues to show us that in just a few weeks, your buzz can go from 20 mph to off-the-charts. (Well, it feels like a short time, but this is Drake's third mixtape since 2007.) So Far Gone not only has him doing sold-out shows across the world, but it also throws his name in the hat for Rookie of the Year and, possibly, Mixtape of the Year.
The Toronto native came with a two-pronged attack of singing and rapping, with guest spots from a few homies, including Omarion, Trey Songz, Lil Wayne and Bun B. The former "Degrassi: The Next Generation" actor also hasn't given up on seeing his name on the cover of TV Guide or even your local movie-theater marquee.
"I like to give things to people, so whether it be a movie or I have a TV show that me and one of my best friends [fellow 'Degrassi' actor] Mazin Elsadig did," he said. "We write. It's comedy comparable to, like, Judd Apatow and Michael Cera, but with black people in it. So, I mean, there's all kinds of forms of self-expression, and it carries over, obviously, into music. My music is really personal. It's really based on honesty, so it's not much acting involved. And you know Wayne is a character when he performs, when he spits, he's animated. With me, with rapping, it's more intimate, it's more organic and more personal. My music, I think there's more acting on the business side of it than the music side of it."

Discussion in 'OPENBOX X5 HD PVR (Sunplus 1512A)' started by james, Feb 7, 2013.
how do i check if clone would like to know if been ripped off on the bay
I don't know how by looking! (never seen a clone) but if you get the above message,you sure got one!
Maybe some of the staff here will post where to get REAL X5 boxes and we wont have to worry about clones.
I bought my EyeBox X5 on eBay and it is not clone, same seller has OpenBox X5 so ,probably ok too ??
my 2 cents
If you get an X5 CLONE post the seller info here!
So we can avoid the problem!
After the data leave the X5 ? no control ! internet to destination,,, No control!
i will ask seller if is clone
power off button at back now box is back working normal.
That's how to check and see,if new firmware loads, you are ok.
Load it up!
?? what?
alright so my box is real and not clone yes can watch all channels with card share new cam working with this update so that copyright screen is gone now rebooted
X5 have no control of data that has left the unit in route to destination, what is it you ask?
Thats very nice enjoy your X5.
When a new firmware?
Now you could add this seller rovestar80 from Ebay UK to list as genuine openbox x5 seller. This who is i got my box off he was very helpful and sent me here to get updates and help.
X5 model, now in market, no clone.
For this problem, it is security IC problem.. because receiver need to check with security IC when start to work..
So maybe it is Security IC problem..
Try this way, maybe it can be fixed.
In this page, Press Menu->Network Setup, make ethernet network or wifi network working,, then restart the receiver to check the problem fix or not.
If still problem, so it means Hardware problem..
English String, pls check
Pls change another USB and check again.
I changed the USB and now it is work ... thank you very much!
Is there a way for the new SW can include ping and % of packet loss to test the cccam server install in the openbox X5. So we know the problem comes from the server or the SW.
This is a test of the content area. You can use the Style Properties system to put anything you want here. More »

Merrill's high-mileage passport
He is unfailingly good-natured and polite and he returns emails promptly, but good luck catching Christopher Merrill in one place for long. Always making global connections to advance the cause of literature and cultural diplomacy, he never seems to stop. When the Graduate College talked with him at his office Shambaugh House, he had recently returned from a trip to Bangladesh.
The next week he was slated to go to China. The week after was his first National Council on the Humanities meeting in Washington, D.C. After that, he was travelling with four writers to Zimbabwe and Mozambique. Then back to Iowa City to welcome 32 writers from around the world for the fall International Writing Program residency.
Is that all?
Of course not. Later in the fall there will be trips to Russia, Egypt and North Africa. And probably, he says, a trip to Burma, now that that the U.S. has re-established relations.
That's a lot of air miles. Does Merrill have any travel tips?
"Sleep on the way over. You have to get over the jet lag in a hurry," he says. "It's important to get as much rest as you can because you want to get on the ground and have your eyes open and take in as much as you can."
Merrill produced first-hand reporting and analysis on the Balkan Wars in the 1990s, and during last year's "Arab Spring" Merrill found himself travelling in seven different countries affected by the turmoil in the Middle East.
"My job as a writer is to keep my eyes open and try to make some sense out of it. It's hard to go into a war zone, but it's also exciting to be in a place where things are happening very quickly," Merrill says. "You know that it's important for someone to chronicle this and get it right."
Merrill says while his work with the National Council on the Humanities has a fairly set schedule of commitments, the IWP's work with the State Department is not entirely predictable.
"Each year the programming we put together changes, sometimes quite a lot, and it's important for us to be adaptable , to be able to put things together quickly and expertly," he says.
Grateful for his good fortune, Merrill credits a talented and loyal staff "who also believe in the mission of the IWP."
"That makes it easier for us to all pull together and try to put our stamp on things," Merrill says.
An ambassador for world literature, Christopher Merrill brings writers from all over the globe to the University of Iowa and has raised Iowa City's international profile. Now Merrill brings his talent and enthusiasm for literature to the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).
President Barack Obama appointed Merrill—poet, nonfiction writer, translator, and director of the University of Iowa's International Writing Program—to serve on the National Council on the Humanities, the advisory body of the NEH.
Merrill was nominated by President Obama in June, 2011 and confirmed by the Senate in the spring of 2012. Merrill replaces archaeologist Iris Love, whose term expired. He will serve until January, 2016.
Jim Leach, chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities, calls Merrill "the quintessential humanist and a wonderful poet and essayist."
Beyond his gifts and work as a writer, Merrill helps bring other authors' books into the world.
"Chris is a natural facilitator of literary thought," says Leach.
"Just as the Iowa Writers' Workshop is preeminent in American arts and letters, the International Writing Program, which Chris heads, is preeminent in bringing the most accomplished and most promising international literary figures together to share their crafts and their cultures. Following in the footsteps of Paul and Hualing Engle, Chris has helped stamp Iowa City as the literary capital of the world."
In 2008, Merrill led the initiative that resulted in the selection of Iowa City as a UNESCO City of Literature, a part of the Creative Cities Network.
To describe the mission of the International Writing Program, Merrill frequently quotes British novelist E.M. Forster, who said, "Only connect." But when Merrill arrived at the University of Iowa in 2000 to rebuild the IWP, he found he needed to restore some old connections and establish new ones. Only 13 international writers were in attendance; the program was about to lose its office space.
Merrill began a search for office space and new funding sources, forging new connections.
"After 9-11 there was a widespread recognition in the government that we had lost track of the practice of cultural diplomacy, which has been defined as the exchange of ideas and information and people, sometimes called winning hearts and minds," says Merrill. "The State Department has rebuilt that apparatus over the last 10 years. We have been very fortunate to play a role in that effort."
Merrill helped put together reports for Congress on cultural diplomacy, and he says knowing more about this process helps him understand how the IWP can help make cultural connections.
A key turning point, Merrill says, was finding a productive relationship with the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs at the State Department.
"They encouraged us at every turn to think bigger."
While funding from the State Department has gone up in recent years, Merrill points out more than half of the visiting writers come courtesy of private fundraising efforts, foundations, and bilateral agreements with culture ministries of foreign governments.
Now the program has a handsome home in the restored Shambaugh House and will host 32 writers from around the world for the fall 2012 residency. The IWP has also expanded its mission.
For the first 33 years of its existence, the IWP was focused entirely on bringing writers to Iowa for a three-month residency. While the fall residency remains central to the mission of the IWP, Merrill says they now think of themselves as a year-round program, hosting symposia in other countries, sending American writers on tours to places of strategic interest.
The IWP now also brings high school students to Iowa City for two-week writing camps that build on distance learning projects. Last year, students from Arabic-speaking countries attended the writing camp. This year, the program includes students from Russia.
"We have managed to use the incredible literary resources of this university and share them with students around the world who would not likely have the chance to come to the University of Iowa," says Merrill.
Recent grants have encouraged the IWP to send American writers, including several Writers' Workshop graduates, to places such as Saudi Arabia, Syria, Jordan, the West Bank, Cyprus, Turkey, Bolivia, Uruguay, Brazil, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Afghanistan.
Merrill visited Afghanistan last May and again in January, travelling in a convoy of armored vehicles through the war zone on a mission to discuss poetry. As the last American and NATO troops prepare to pull out in 2014, Merrill says it feels like a race against time to help establish and maintain a stronger framework for civil society, and this framework includes the arts.
While there, he talked poetry on an Afghan television program that reaches 20 million viewers. "Poetry matters in Afghanistan," says Merrill. "To try to connect with Afghans on that level in a cultural sense means a great deal."
He also recalls a concert at the newly re-opened National Institute of Music where young American musicians were teaching and Afghans, including a sizable number of orphans, were learning to play both Western and Afghan instruments. Merrill says many Afghans see such cultural opportunities for youth as a positive way to build society and stave off extremists.
"None of this was possible under the Taliban," says Merrill. "The notion of kids being able to study music, that's a good thing. Being able to talk about poetry in a country that has a long and rich poetic tradition—where poetry really matters—that's a good thing. We're making a connection across cultures. Cultural diplomacy: that's what we're doing in these places."
His duties at the National Council for the Humanities include reviewing grants, serving on the cultural preservation and access committee, three annual meetings, and advising Chairman Leach. In September, Merrill will travel with Leach and other Council members to China for a conference designed to foster closer connections between humanities scholars and artists in China and the U.S.
Merrill looks forward to combining his new duties with the National Council on the Humanities with his responsibilities as head of the International Writing Program. Together, the two roles will help him—and the University of Iowa—become even stronger advocates for the humanities.
"If you believe as I do in the absolute importance of the humanities, then it's a good idea to put your money where your mouth is," Merrill says. "When we go out into the world and practice cultural diplomacy through the art of poetry, we're making connections around the world. That's the same thing that goes on in the humanities, which provide us with a way to think deeply about our experience. Humanities thinkers through the ages have tried to understand what it means to be human: that's a fundamental part of our education."

if you look at the shelf box fo rthe classic controllers they have at eb stores (the empty display box that you take to the counter and they give you a proper one) it said incorrectly that it worked for gamecube games. Those were printed BY eb games, not nintendo, and some idiot at the head office didn't research first.The EB here chucked those on wii launch and had new ones printed. Your guys probably are other system fanboys who haven't changed the display boxes. Bad move - should allways know your product - if they had played it they would have known. The EB here is really strict with that angle. The guys in there try every product. So they KNEW and were honest when I was first getting "wii'd".

the guy at eb games was wrong
sometimes its best to ask if they have a wii
and if they dont u can ask if some1 else there has 1
btw how is the classic controller is it conformable?
I too was misled to believe that the classics controller would work for gamecube games but by the people at Circuit $hitty. If you don't have a gamecube controller yet, get a wavebird, its worth it (my only beef is no rumble for battery conservation).

Andrea Gracia joined the United States Army as a way to get a medical education and provide for her children. She has served honorably for the past year but that service has now cost her her five-year-old daughter.
Gracia's daughter Elina was taken from her by a judge who felt the child should stay in one place. Towards that end, he gave her to her dad who is serving a term of probation rather than letting her stay with her Army mom, new husband and little sister. Gracia's only recourse is to appeal the decision.
If you have ever dealt with family court and custody matters, you know it takes a good attorney and money, lots of it. On a medic's pay, there's no way Gracia can afford to retain an appeal lawyer.
She has already spent desperately-needed dollars on legal advice. Now she needs $4,000 more or she may never get Elina returned to her.
Sadly, the Army offers no protection for a service member in this situation. On the surface, it looks like she is being penalized for serving her country. That shouldn't happen in the U.S.A.
On a hope and a prayer, Andrea Gracia's sister, Ali Briones, has set up a Go Fund Me campaign in the hopes of getting her niece back. So far, only $100 has been raised towards the needed $4,000.
As you can imagine, Andrea Gracia is heartbroken and missing her beloved daughter. Can you help? Do you have a spare buck or two?
Many people think a donation has to be a goodly sum to make a difference and that's simply not true. People have asked me what good a single dollar can do. Maybe not much on its own, but if you put it together with everybody else's dollars, it can do a lot. After all, a beach is made out of many individual grains of sand.
Here is the Go Fund Me link to help Elina get back to her mother. Every dollar will help. And if you don't have a dollar, please send a prayer. Thank you.
