NSPS employees to go back to General Schedule; unions laud effort
More than 200,000 DOD employees under the NSPS will revert to the General Schedule system by 2012 under the bill's provisions.
The law's passage pleased some critics of the NSPS.
"There is evidence that pay-for-performance was discriminatory and used as a way to take money from lower-paid employees and routed to higher-paid employees," said Randy Erwin, legislative director at the National Federation of Federal Employees. DOD "tried to do too much, too fast. Pay for performance was supposed to motivate, but instead it's done the opposite."
The American Federation of Government Employees, in a statement responding to the news, said NSPS the program is "costly, unwieldy, discriminatory, complicated, opaque and mistrusted by DOD civilian employees at all levels."
The system's proponents had championed it for being flexible and giving managers more freedom to reward their best employees. In 2008, Mary Lacey -- then the program executive officer for NSPS -- reported that the highest-rated employees in the system got raises averaging 10 percent under NSPS. Across the board, she said, raises under NSPS averaged 5.4 percent.
Still, eliminating the NSPS will not solve major problerms with DOD's personnel system, insiders speaking on background said. In addition to fixing a lack of trust among DOD's employees, a new pay system will need to be established within about six months, and will likely need to include some measures to rate performance, they said.

Steve Kelman contends that a recent report on agencies' prize challenges tells only half the success story.
OMB's Data Center Optimization Initiative gives agencies new metrics and goals for fiscal 2018.
NSA and the CIA have revamped themselves in the past year. FCW asked officials how well Fort Meade and Langley are collaborating in cyberspace in pursuit of their separate missions.
The latest version of the Defense Department-wide Enterprise Service Management Framework places more emphasis on managing IT risk.
Despite GSA's efforts to accelerate the FedRAMP approval process, the lack of agency reciprocity puts the program's central goals at risk.
Got some early-career colleagues who are doing great things in federal IT? Nominate them for FCW's 2016 Rising Star awards.
The agency software inventories required under the draft category management policy will be treasure maps that lead to efficient, effective, streamlined buying and unprecedented savings.
As experts warned of the "dire" threats posed by outdated federal technology, lawmakers grilled top feds, debated workforce issues and inched closer to backing a $3.1 billion fix-it fund.
The agency is making strides in developing and deploying border technologies but still has some weaknesses.
What was the purpose of NSPS? I think is sucked. Leave the GS system alone. Don't fix something that's not broken. Don't re-invent the Wheel. NSPS just created more favortism, racism, and Pay Pool BS of officials located elsewhere, who have no expert knowledge on the day-to-day operations at another site where employee work at. Some employees who don't do a damn thing got high pay, because they're the Boss's pet.
Our mgr said if you just put in your time doing your job well, that's what you were hired and paid to do, therefore you get COL adjustments only. You must show above and beyond, taking on more responsibility,etc, to get a raise. However other dept mgrs gave the new rate as long as you hadn't done someting to NOT deserve it; and still a third used it unfairly to punish and reward. So guidelines are needed to make things level.
Many employees are abusing NSPS. I know one employee changes three jobs in DC area in 2009. She negotiated and received 5% increase pay for each job. This employee have received 15 % increase pay in 2009. The turn over in DC area is very high due to employees who know how to get around with NSPS. Managers in agencies should not have such power to offer higher salaries.
Many employees are abusing the NSPS system. I know one employee changes three jobs in DC area in 2009. Every job, she negotiated and got at least 5% raise. Just in 2009 along, the person had 15 % increased pay. In DC area, employee turn over rate is very high due to employees know that they can able to take advantage of NSPS. Managers in agencies should not have such power to offer higher salaries.
Reading some comments, we should reward according to how hard we work, not how well we accomplish the job or go above and beyond. Quality comes to mind also...like being able to spell and form sentences in English. Whenever you hear words like "costly, unwieldy, discriminatory, complicated, opaque and mistrusted" from a union, you know the system was Fair.

Hi there!
This is a question that I've been searching on and have yet to find a clear answer. A friend wanted me to essentially create this website:
This is NOT a wordpress site, obviously. The functionality she's adamant about is to have the website resize whenever the browser is resized. Exactly as it does on this demo. She does not want a "responsive" website that changes the layout, she wants the entire thing to fit the browser window, just as the demo does.
Question: Is this possible and if so, how the heck do I do this? Nothing I've tried works...
Thank you!!

Town to sell vacant house for $1August 20,2013
Town selling
vacant home for $1
ST. JOHNSBURY A Vermont town is planning to sell a dilapidated vacant house for $1 so it can be demolished and a new house built on the site.
The town of St. Johnsbury acquired the St. Mary Street property after it failed to sell at a tax sale.
The Burlington-based Vermont Housing Finance Agency offered to buy the property, demolish the house, build an affordable single family house, and sell it.
The Caledonian-Record reported that the selectmen unanimously supported the proposal with the stipulation the agency must construct the new home within three years.
Select Board Chairman Kevin Oddy said the program is a viable way for the community to add to its tax roll and erase an eyesore.MORE IN This Just InBURLINGTON Gov.

What's is the signifigance of "RT" OR "| d " OR the number "35"?

I've created a custom feed using add_feed() which I assumed would only be available using the feed_base (defined in the WP_Rewrite class) in the URL but it doesn't.
For instance when creating a feed named 'news' it can be accessed using /feed/news but also just using /news, which would make a page named 'news' using the same path inaccessible.
Is there a way to force the feed to use the feed_base setting to prevent this?

A local state legislator accuses three state department heads of breaking state law by overspending their budgets and not notifying budget committees of the action.
DeWitt Republican and the chair of the House Appropriations Committee Rep. Scott Hummel believes the directors of the State Police, Human Services and the Corrections departments broke state law by spending more than lawmakers authorized and then compounded the problem by not telling key lawmakers about the over spending.
Two of the three were called on the carpet on Wednesday but HS director Marianne Udow and Col. Peter Munoz denied they broke the law. Udow tells News 10 that once she figured out how much money was spent, she notified the committee. Hummel is not pleased with the responses and complained that just because some lawmakers won't be around anymore because of term limits, they should still be informed when tax dollars
are spent that should not have been spent. Prison director Patrica
Caruso did not attend the budget hearing.

*imagine the biggest sarcastic voice here*
Why are you judging her? You don't know her. Do you know she was homeless? Did you bother to ask? DId you bother to ask if she needed food for her baby that you tried to have taken away from her? or diapers or wipes? Anything? Maybe she isn't homeless. Maybe she needed money to feed her child. At least she has enough sense to not leave her baby alone to go out begging. Is that what you would prefer?
"I hate beggers as it is - but that is my personal opinion. What is beyond me is the idea that its ok to have a baby outside all day while you beg for money. That child deserves better and should be with a family who will love and support them."
You are ridiculous. Unless you really know this womans story, don't judge her. You obviously don't like her choices. But at least she's clearly out doing what she can to provide for her child. Maybe you should have had a little more compassion for the baby you were trying to take away from her & bought them lunch....if you were SOOOO concerned for HER baby.
BTW, OP, how would you like it if you were in her position & someone came & tried to take your LO from you. Would you still feel the same way? Bet you your response is "no one would ever take me baby from me."
Proud Marine wife. Proud mommy to Cameron (June 2012)
All I gotta say is I pray that your never have to be in that position. And if you are? I hope to got you don't encounter a close minded ____ like yourself.

Mother to Jayden Thomas 11/24/09 and Jordan Anthony 6/8/12 <3
Wrestling, mud, cars and noise, i'm sure you can guess, i'm the mother of boys!
And one last thing--if they were trying to get money for drugs or whatever you think, you really think a FAMILY wih a BABY would be out there doing that? I think not.
Also, if they are addicts there's probably a lot of mental health issues going on...it's not as easy as typing up a resume and hitting the job force. These people are in serious low times. Personally, I don't care if they use my money for a drink or their next fix. Unfortunately I can't fix their life, but I might be able to temporarily brighten their day, whatever that may mean to them.
I'll also add that I just moved from a "rough" area of downtown and the street people are generally well known to the cops, even if they're genuinely "good" people who.are there for the "right" reasons
..whatever you want to call them. He was sleeping behind an Olive Garden in Warwick…RI....Winter daytime temps only reach 15-20 F.
When case management and the social worker did some investigating it revealed he had sold his home 3 years previously to help his son out of a sticky situation but his son ended up dying. Depression hit him and he lost his job.....now he was homeless and jobless so he took to the streets.
When he was offered help by the social worker he declined it, said he would get himself out of the mess he had gotten himself into by making a bad decision. The whole situation was really sad.
I had a lot of respect for that freeloading beggar. He gave up everything for someone else.....
I think OP you are cruel and judgemental and have no idea why those people were begging. And like eduj, I don't give a fuck if you report this

What is BioAssemblyBot?
The BioAssemblyBot™ multi-axis robot is the next stage of evolution in 3D printing technology and is ideally suited for the precision required to assemble:
Starting at $159,995 USD
BioAssemblyBot Specifications
How does it work?
Beginning with TSIM™ software, users will construct biological models that can then be fabricated utilizing the BioAssemblyBot. Next, the BioAssemblyBot will automatically calibrate the position of the arm using laser sensors. The robot arm then moves to the storage rack, selects the proper syringe from the storage rack based on the assigned material from the TSIM Software, and dispenses the exact amount of material in order to construct the biological model.
The BioAssemblyBot is equipped with a multi-function end effector containing devices that facilitate automated syringe exchange, syringe tip auto-calibration, and stage leveling utilities.

I can only assume there is some dead-simple thing I'm missing, as so many people seem to successfully use this plugin. Any ideas?
Also, is there a limit to the number of times you can manually initiate the backup from google's perspective? I'm wondering if during my troubleshooting I annoyed The Google by trying it several times in a few minutes. But even so, I don't know why it won't go to the folder I originally designated. Am I correct by just putting in the name of the folder if it's at the top level of my drive?

Transcript: President Obama's State of the Union Remarks on Energy and Climate Change
Brendan DeMelle | January 28, 2014
By Brendan DeMelle • Tuesday, January 28, 2014 - 19:42
President Barack Obama's remarks on energy and climate change during the State of the Union address: (H/T The Guardian)
Now, one of the biggest factors in bringing more jobs back is our commitment to American energy. The all-of-the-above energy strategy I announced a few years ago is working, and today, America is closer to energy independence than we've been in decades.
One of the reasons why is natural gas – if extracted safely, it's the bridge fuel that can power our economy with less of the carbon pollution that causes climate change. Businesses plan to invest almost $100 billion in new factories that use natural gas. I'll cut red tape to help states get those factories built, and this Congress can help by putting people to work building fueling stations that shift more cars and trucks from foreign oil to American natural gas. My administration will keep working with the industry to sustain production and job growth while strengthening protection of our air, our water, and our communities. And while we're at it, I'll use my authority to protect more of our pristine federal lands for future generations.
It's not just oil and natural gas production that's booming; we're becoming a global leader in solar, too. Every four minutes, another American home or business goes solar; every panel pounded into place by a worker whose job can't be outsourced. Let's continue that progress with a smarter tax policy that stops giving $4 billion a year to fossil fuel industries that don't need it, so that we can invest more in fuels of the future that do.

Bob Moriarty May 13, 2013
Actually you should do both. Buy Vancouver/Toronto and sit, sell Wall Street and sit.
We have had a major bottom in gold, silver and resource stocks. By all measures investors despise gold and won't touch it with a ten-foot pole. That's a really good thing.
Investing is no more complex than buying cheap and selling dear.
Many times I have tried to explain that the chart of the XAU over Gold is the most pure measure of investor psychology in the gold space. When investors love gold, they buy the metal. When investors hate gold, they sell the shares. So you can figure out where you are just by looking at the chart.
Shares are cheaper relative to gold than they have ever been in history. Ignore everything else. Shares are cheap. So buy shares in resources as well as physical gold and silver, you will never again get this opportunity. Buy cheap, sell dear, that's all there is to it.
Meanwhile, over in Fantasy Land on Wall Street, the S&P and Dow continue to make new record nominal highs day after day. According to Leon Black of Apollo Global Management, "We are harvesting." "We're selling everything that's not nailed down." "The financing market is as good as we have ever seen it. It's back to 2007 levels. There is no institutional memory." Hmmm? 2007 levels? That may be a bad thing. That's when markets topped.
In July of 2007 margin debt exploded to a record of $381.4 billion. Today it sits at $379.5. Hmmm?
If you wonder just what is happening with sentiment, Barron's recently reported a new record high in bullishness consensus on equities with some 96% of money managers declaring themselves "bullish on stocks for the next five years." Hmmm?
If you wander over to the SPX COTs, you can see a new record speculator long position of $55 billion, the highest since the 2007 record. Hmmm?
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Ohh, someone who makes money advertising for mining companies says the shares are cheap and to buy huh?
Too bad that silly ratio chart chart does not factor in rising costs, production issues, competition from other gold storage investments, enviormental risks, worker strikes, etc. Let's just ignore all these reasons as to why the mining shares have moved lower and just focus on that crazy ignorant ratio chart? utter nonsense.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Bob Moriarty is one of the biggest CHARLATANS in the sector. If he is calling a bottom, watch out below!
Expect some BS news leak about the Fed tightening sometime in the fall and watch POG get slammed for another 100 down. Wait for it.....its coming...........

What a Month! Gratitude and Joy Fill My Heart.
By Stephanie Ciccarelli
July 22, 2014
June was a great month for me with Voices.com.
It started by my booking a job with project manager Sean Mancuso for USpecial in Canada. Great thing is that the client wanted me to do both the French and English version.
Almost immediately, I saw a deposit arrive in my mailbox for another job, this time with Grant Thomas to narrate a heavy machinery e-learning session. Hey, I love heavy machinery!
It was great just explaining things to the workers and I got to learn a few things along the way to about safety.
As I was attending APAC in New York City (for the audiobook industry in which I also have a thriving career) I gave Grant a call to get some detail I wasn't sure about. Well, turned out that another client had just listened to my heavy machinery narration and liked it enough to immediately grant me another job if I so chose to accept it. At this point I figured that with a name like Grant, Mr. Thomas was just in the business of handing out jobs. Turns out he is!
And I've enjoyed developing relationships with a few of the project managers at Voices.com now, like Amber and Sonja. Ended up booking 5 jobs that month and although I'm based in New York City, it's a real pleasure partnering with fellow Canadians at a great company. And all of this as the movie The Fault In Our Stars in which I have a lovely cameo got released and went right up to being #1 box office on its first weekend.
What a month! Gratitude and joy fill my heart.

About Us > Newsroom > Bacon Family Foundation supports chronically ill students at Kunsberg School
National Jewish Health is proud to announce a gift from the Bacon Family Foundation in Grand Junction to be used to feed kindergarten through eighth-grade children at Kunsberg School for chronically ill students. The school, located on the campus of National Jewish Health in Denver, the nation's #1 respiratory hospital, serves the physical, emotional and educational needs of children whose illnesses have caused them to fall behind their peers in public school. A majority of those children come from families who are at or below the poverty level.
"The family is very pleased to be able to support such a fine program," said Linda Bacon-Reid. The Bacon Family Foundation provides funds to meet healthcare and hospital needs and to support children, youth and social services throughout Colorado. In addition to Kunsberg School at National Jewish Health, the Bacon Family Foundation supports Western Colorado Community Foundation, St. Mary's Hospital Foundation, Marillac Clinic, Homeward Bound of the Grand Valley, the Children's Hospital and dozens of other charities
Kunsberg School charges no tuition but relies on donations from community members who make a huge difference in the lives of these young people. Kunsberg teachers provide students with individual and structured education programs that assist students in achieving academic and physical excellence and prepare them to become independent, self reliant and responsible. From three nurses, the 82 students in the school learn specific medical self-care practices, enabling them to monitor and manage their illnesses and to go on to lead productive, meaningful and active lives.
National Jewish Health is known worldwide for treatment of patients with respiratory, cardiac, immune and related disorders, and for groundbreaking medical research. Founded in 1899 as a nonprofit hospital, National Jewish remains the only facility in the world dedicated exclusively to these disorders. For 12 consecutive years, U.S. News & World Report has ranked National Jewish the #1 respiratory hospital in the nation.

I've taken the following steps:
- Downloaded the "zip" file with the "Widgets" plugin from the "Automattic" site.
- Unzipped the Widgets folder.
- Read the "Read Me" file included in the Widgets folder.
- Uploaded the Widgets folder exactly as directed in the "Read Me" file, i.e. to
- Double-checked to make sure everything is uploaded correctly.
- Activated the "Widgets" plugin in my "Plugin Management" Dashboard page.
Theoretically, now there should be a menu choice called "Sidebar Widgets" in my "Presentation" page. However, it does not appear.
I am using WordPress v 2.0.2, so it should work. I am using a Theme called "FallingLeaves." Thinking perhaps that the theme might not be Widget-compatible, I tried changing my theme to "WordPress Default 1.5" which is the basic theme that shipped with my WordPress. v. 2.0.2. However, even with the Default theme as my theme, no "Sidebar Widgets" menu choice appears on my "Presentation" page.
What am I doing wrong? What steps should I take to make Widgets work properly?

My lessons learned and recomendations for being a live in landlord:
1. It can be difficult if your tenants know you as the landlord and as their personal neighbor, especially if he has to evict anyone. I could tell you some horror stories. But they were all good lessons learned in tenant selection. There is an advantage to being a live in landlord. Any tenant who isn't comfortable with it might have something to hide. A lot of tenants like that I am so available if there is a problem or if they forget their keys.
2. Go for a duplex of two 2 bedroom apartments. I have found that they are more desirable for resale and the tenants you attract for a 2 bedroom tend to stay longer than in smaller apartments. Try to find something where the utilites, especially the heat, are seperated by apartment. Special note about water in Philly... Water is a lienable bill in Philly. So if the tenant doesn't pay the water bill, then it can be liened against the property and hence the landlord to take care of. If the water is seperated out, get the bill set up in the owner's name and have the tenant pay the owner directly for it.
3. Be very diligent in tenant selection. I prefer to show the apartments myself and as I go along I ask lots and lots of questions. I refrase questions and ask them again and again to see if I get the same answers and does everything they are telling me make sense / add up. I double check what they tell me against their credit reports. Sort of like being a detective. :-) I have found a wonderful company called Landlord Association of PA. I pay a small annual fee and pay for credit reports as I run them online. You can even do an eviction search (which I highly highly recomend.) They also offer other services for landlords who have been burned by tenants. Here is their website: http://landlordassocpa.com
4. Taking maintenance calls can be annoying, but if you find a good handyman and are willing to maintain the property, it's not really that bad. The maintence stuff he encounters will likely be the same sort of stuff he will encounter as a normal homeowner. So if he can't do the work himself, he will be hiring someone else to do it whether it's a rental or not. Check into Angie's list for a recomendation for a local handyman. A handyman will be less expensive than a specialized contractor. Bring in the specialized contractor for the biger stuff like a new roof, new heater, electrical, etc. Get the handyman to do the smaller stuff like a leaky faucet, etc. Of course allways check with the city for permits, licensing, insurance, etc. Another resource for a contractor or handyman is service magic. Service magic is more of site where the contractors subscribe to it, but they do a 7 or 10 point check on them including references & insurance. Angie's list is entirely by recomendation only by members. A contractor can't put themselves on there for advertising.
5. Damages & repairs: Be diligent in tenant selection and try to get 1st month, last month and one month security deposit. I've had bad experiences with pets so I don't do it. If you do, take a seperate pet deposit.
6. I found the book Landlords' rights and duties in Pennsylvania by Gerald S. Gaetano & Mark Warda to be very helpful when I first started out. I also love the PA assoc. of Realtors lease form. There is a stationary store off of Broad and Chestnut that sells plain language lease forms for PA. Email me and I'll see if I can dig up the name and address. I've been using the PAR lease form since I became a realtor.
Real estate is still a great investment, especially in the long term. Good luck and I hope that was helpful.

Long & Foster Real Estate, Inc.
Being a Realtor who happens to be 22 and has owned property since I was 18. I recommend starting off with the duplex. However, my first property was a row home that I still own in West Mayfair. Here are my reasonings. It sounds like your friend wants to live in the property that he is buying, if you have a tenant, that always helps with the payment. The downfall is that you will want to make sure they are going to be good on making the payment ever month. I recommend pulling a credit report with their notice of course. Either, way there are plenty of homes on the market and I would tell your friend to start looking around. To give you a heads up, I have a Corner Tri-plex listed on the market. (3038 Tyson Ave) Very nice.
Tell your friend to give me a call.

A lot depends on your friend's comfort level with dealing with people, problems and glitches. Landlording can be a great equity builder- but it is not without 'costs'.
Here are some things to consider when 'landlording':
BIG PRO #1--Helps pay the mortgage, or even make double payments - which may mean that you can build equity quicker (to use in your next purchase?)
- being nearby may make it possible to do fixups/improvements to both sides of the property (building more equity:-))
-Having great neighbors and becoming friends.:-)
-May be able to subdivide property and have some immediate profit, as most times one side of a duplex is worth more than 50% of the 2 sides as single unit. Or fix up the side that you are living in, then move to other side and rent out the 'owners apt' (for more rent!)while you repeat the process.
BIG CON #1: Tenants who don't pay (or are late)..and eventually need to be evicted.:(
Hassles with your 'neighbor' -- the buck stops with you!
Taking the "Management calls'-Taking care of the calls about broken plumbing, no heat, complaints about the neighbors, things that-go-bump-in-the-night,appliances that need fixed....
NOT taking the management calls and paying someone else to do that! .. which eats up some or all of your profit/equity.
It is a part time job. How much is the job of landlording worth to you?
Hope that helps.
PS. DO ask around and find an experienced Realtor to assist you. A good one is worth their weight in, well maybe not gold, but at least a little silver!

Leeds United Message Board
No Defence
I couldn't go to Brighton but saw it on TV.
The usual story - a team that cannot defend. After the match saw Simon interviewed about the defendin He said 'It's been going on for a year, probably more. It's up to the defenders to sort themselves out...
NO. Simon mate, you cannot hide behind that comment. You have brought in (and got rid of) defenders who you consider to be of the right professional standard.In most cases they have performed elsewhere.In other cases they are young players who have performed whilst out on loan.
WHY do they not perform under YOU and YOUR Coaches- Snodin and Miller ?
I have regrettably reached the conclusion that yet another died in the wool LUFC man has gone as far as his abilities will take us as our manager.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

One thing that struck me whilst watching the Brighton game was how quickly the ball came back into the Leeds half thus putting the back four under pressure. The forwards seemed to have problems keeping and holding the ball and bringing others into play. I know McCormack has been banging them in but I thought he was the worst culprit.
On the plus side they do seem to have a bit of spirit about them. Also hats off to you for taking 2,400 fans down to the south coast on a Friday night. The people who come up with these fixture dates and times never do the genuine fans any favours do they?
Stuart Parnaby a good option to strengthen? http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/transfer-news/Birmingham-City-cancel-Stuart-Parnaby-deal-article804293.html
Connolly is no superstar, but surely he has earnt the chance to play RB so that Lees can have a run in the middle. We desperately need to sort this situation out, look at how incredulous Lonergan was with that third goal, he was furious, and justifiably so because that was youth team standard defending. If the other 9 players in the team have no faith in the two central defenders, then we do not have a team. Oh well, at least we had our first clean sheet until halftime this season, baby steps lads...
Football as you know Lotto can be very unforgiving especially if you play in defence.One mistake and the ball finishes in the back of the net.
Goalkeepers have the same problem, drop a ball and its in the back of the net. Ask Gary Sprake, Paul Robinson, Scott Carson even David Seaman one mistake and your crucified! Strikers tend not to have the same problem, one miss and it tends to be forgotten by and large unless you are Billy P. Our defence whilst it has obvious problems at times compares favourably with most other defences in our division. Ok SG and co seem not to be able to seal the leaks but then like the old saying goes "you cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear" and with limited resources we are stuck with what we have got for now. Lets hope SG can prise Wilson away from Liverpool on loan and we get a good RB in to allow TL to play as CB again. Until then MOT as always!
Well Ross did say the team defends as a whole, which they did do in the first half, but poor individual mistakes, a poor throw in, a dodgy penalty, Larry picks the players he's Leeds and I love him for that but sentiments aside I think he has reached his limits, Macca's limit was the players were not good enough for his coaching, it's the opposite with Larry, maybe he needs to look at his coaching or defensive coach Snodin etc. A big thumbs up to the fans who travelled as ever you did us proud. M.O.T

Two points lost, not one gained! Agree 120% Tom!
Quite right John!
We have all known for a year or more that the defense is rubbish. I feel sorry for Lonergan who has proved he is more than a capable goalie having had to play behind a rotten PNE defense and now the same at LU.
Unless KB will get his hands into his bank account and get some quality in there we will suffer like this all season. We have no quality centre backs, only players who are too old or not good enough available.We are naive beyond belief at the back and the time has now come to do something about it. It ain't that difficult if you have decent players, but ours aren't!!
- 1 Reply to BRYAN
If you look at the goals we let in last night, they were all down to mistakes from one player, Leigh Bromby!
Grayson does have a point because no matter how well you prepare for a game it all goes out of the window if one of your players does not do the basics when defending.
We still need at least one quality centre half because no one ive seen there this season fills me with confidence, although the keeper is a big improvement on Kasper. He actually comes off his line to claim balls put into our box.
Adam Clayton was quality and Howson had his best game in ages last night. But i think SG needs to swap Danny Pugh with Aidy White as white gives us far more going forward, and Pugh is a better defender.
Not a bad point i suppose but with a bit more application it could have been so much better.

Henson puppets 'Stuffed & Unstrung' at Pabst Theater April 13
Ever wonder what Muppets would say if someone else was pulling the strings? About the closest thing to it is "Henson Alternative: Stuffed & Unstrung," a live, adults-only improv comedy show featuring Jim Henson Company puppeteers. It'll be at the Pabst Theater at 8 p.m. April 13.

Concert Review: Tech N9ne Independent Powerhouse Tour
I can admit it. I've never been much of a Tech N9ne fan.
I tend to distance myself from artists with particularly young and raucous fans. It wasn't until Tech was featured a Lil' Wayne "Interlude," off of Tha Carter IV, that i realized what all the fuss was all about. Tech N9ne is a beast. His ferocious "double time" rapping (rapping twice as fast as the beat without the lose of lyrical cadence) has made him a force to be reckon with since the 90's. Tech N9ne brought his high energy emceeing to The Rave Sunday with several of his Strange Music labelmates on the Independent Powerhouse Tour and I finally got to see him in action. Unfortunately I got there late (per usual) and missed the openers but as one fan told me "That was the tightest opening ever!" »Read Full Blog Post

Anyway, I was denied access to the doctor on the six week of my treatment. I found Amir and Dr. Dean's staff to be rude and uncaring. The clinic likes to say their team is peaceful and warm couldn't be more of a lie. The wait to see the doctor takes forever and traffic to Fredericksburg is nightmarish. I also learned that Amir pays people to put false reviews on Yelp so almost everything you read on yelp is a false review saying something positive about the clinic. I had two friends going through the treatment with me and Amir was rude them. He made us pay up front and didn't care to see us every week for the six weeks.
Also, I lost my perscription because I ride a motorcycle when I explained what happened to Amir he refused to get a new one for me eventhough I over heard the doctor say that he didn't have a problem writing me a new. Amir didn't know that I could hear is conversation with the doctor. Amir also shorted me on the hCg. I didn't have enough to finish the 6 week program and he didn't seem to care. In my opinion Amir was rude the clinic visit took too long to see the doctor. When I asked Amir to get the six weeks of hCg he refused.
He was very friendly with the women but very rude to men. I think the clinic is amatuer at best and not worth your time or money. There is another hCg clinic in Alexandria as well as Bowie MD where the dr. genuinely cares the and cost is much more reasonable. The new doctors don't treat you disrespectfully. Amir is rude and disrespectful and I overheard the security guard try and tell him not to talk to people so rudely. Don't know what his problem is but wouldn't go back to Ailment Wellness again.

Police in Saltillo say someone sprayed a 12-year-old boy's face with some type of chemical and set him on fire, leaving the boy with first- and second-degree burns to his face, neck and right arm.
Police Chief Steve Brooks said the incident happened Wednesday and two juveniles are suspected in the crime.
Brooks said Bradley Griffith was walking along a privacy fence when he was approached by two boys who sprayed him in the face with something and then lit it on fire.
The boy was taken to the North Mississippi Medical Center.
Brooks says he has been following up on reported leads, but encourages anyone with any information to contact the Saltillo Police Department.

Kiings team up with other musicians for Wisconsin remix
When Chris Porterfield of Field Report put ink to paper and wrote "Route 18," he crafted a subtle folk song inspired by his native Milwaukee.
But when Chris Siegel and Sean Foran got their hands on "Route 18," they transformed the track with angelic coos and electronic swells, and they juxtaposed Porterfield's tone with pretty, light vocals from Monica Martin, frontwoman for Madison-area band PHOX. Their version of "Route 18" is definitely different, but the new version still honors the contemplative mood and down-tempo pace of Porterfield's original. »Read Full Article

As an example, as they have aged, the following industries have expanded : baby foods, station lorry autos, tertiary education, PCs and IT. I'm frequently questioned if there are any small company opportunities online left out there. Why are they secret? I'm going to answer with a query. Hence what's the best small company to start? The affiliate business.
You like youngsters, but are tired of teaching? Build a site on children celebration ideas. Day trading tutorial. You are a worker on an asphalt laying crew, love the hint of the stuff and the final product but you are bored by sackings and bosses? Build an internet site selling asphalt mend materials, asphalt machines, anything to do with asphalt. PCs are your thing? Build an expert site on XP. If audio is your bag make a site on all things audio. The product should also represent excellent value and most critically, be one that folks can't get any place else. If you physically deliver to your clients, you seriously restrict your revenue and market potential. No business, even your own will pay you for delivery. Your time is far more valuable spent in lead generation than to permit it to be wasted in delivering the product.

Alongside marine biologist Holly Lohuis, he invites viewers to dive into this whole new world that will leave them in awe of the beauty and diversity of the oceans – the source of all life on our planet – and inspire an even stronger desire to protect what they have either seen for the first time or perhaps re-discovered along the journey.
Narrated by renowned oceanographer Dr. Sylvia Earle, Jean-Michel Cousteau's Secret Oceanintroduces audiences to over 30 species, illuminating behaviors captured for the first time thanks to the development of new tools that allow underwater filming in 3D, ultra-HD 5K, slow motion, macro, and with motion control, and takes them to remarkable and vibrant environments such as the Bahamas, Fiji, and Bimini.

Journey To Space | 3D
A celebration of space exploration, Journey to Space is a tribute to international cooperation in space research and a vision toward our near-term future beyond Earth's orbit – a manned mission to Mars within a generation. Beautifully and inspiringly chronicling our history in space – including the shuttle program, MIR, the International Space Station and the Hubble telescope – Journey to Space recognizes these milestones in the context of our future in the cosmos, what we've learned, and how to apply this knowledge to deep space missions. The film takes audiences on a behind-the-scenes tour of the international effort to send astronauts to Mars within the next 20 years, culminating in a virtual voyage to the Red Planet. Dazzling and meticulous computer imagery depicts the new machines that will soon enter into our lexicon – Orion, Olympus, SLS rockets – spacecraft, habitats, landers, and vehicles necessary to achieve interplanetary travel, touchdown and colonization.
Journey to Space taps into the same human fervor and fascination that makes science fiction so popular, our unquenchable drive to explore and discover what lies beyond. This film, though, is not fiction. Mars is the next step in what will be an unending human odyssey to explore the cosmos. Journey to Space is about the next chapter, a vision certain to inspire today's young explorers and dreamers. It is time to take the next great leap into space. It is time for our species, in the words of Carl Sagan, to "set sail across the cosmic ocean." Next stop… Mars!
