It hit me like a truck that I've spent 6 years (at home or working part time) putting those little buggers ahead of myself. Perhaps it is a right of passage for a parent to do this during the early years and then one day we snap out of it. I have to say that once the shit-ton-of-guilt subsided (not completely gone by any means), it feels pretty good to put me ahead of the gang. I enjoy some things, I enjoy freedom, I enjoy making meals that I LIKE and I enjoy saying no. It sounds so weird so say these things out loud because we are human people and it just seems obvious that we count too!

And that's all I've ever really wanted for them.Leticiahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-28224911.post-19437850090482731162015-03-29T06:14:27.456-07:002015-03-29T06:14:27.456-07:00Oh yes - so true.

But I night-weaned her, and I can´t stand every hour of the day, so she nurses about 8 times a day. She may take bigger breakes when we are out and she is distracted, but on a raindy day, when she is bored, tired or frustrated, "boobies!" is the most heard word in my home. (We are German, so hardly anyone understands her object of interest when she loudly demands it ; )
I have good and bad days with this, for all the reasons you mentioned above. I am the only one I know who still nurses her toddler, although rarely in public anymore. Most mothers in Germany stop around the age of 1, most of them way sooner. I never planned this, it is what she wanted, and I do not object too much. I know she benefits from it in many ways, and as you said - whe she is older, I won`t whish I´d weaned her sooner. Only on some days. The rainy ones. You know.

And I so feel you on the "everything is fucked" feelings. I had to go back on zoloft because I found myself hating everyone. Are you a jerk? I hate you. Are you a person who is happy and lives a comfortable life? Well, I hate you, too, because you have it better than me. I was just feeling hateful for no reason and turning that on the people I love most. So, good ol' zoloft for me.

I hope your "Everything Is Fucked" tune that plays turns into the Lego song, "Everything Is Awesome" soon. :)

She will be 18 months soon, but I think she nursed less when she was a newborn. I think about weaning because I am so fucking over it but - she needs it. And I still enjoy it sometimes. And it is the only thing that makes her go and puts her back to sleep.
Other than that I seem to be the only one left around here (Germany) still nursing a toddler. EVERYWHERE. firstname.lastname@example.com

Randy Shaw: I don't hear any immigrant rights groups, labor unions, or progressive activist groups calling on the President to unilaterally disarm in the face of massive right-wing spending, and critics of OFA have virtually no base among those fighting each day for greater social justice.
How to Win the Arizona Boycott
Randy Shaw: For the Arizona boycott to succeed, activists must follow the lessons of the UFW grape and lettuce boycotts of the 1960's and 1970's, the South Africa divestment campaign of the 1970s and 1980's, and the UNITE HERE "Hotel Rising Boycott" of 2006. And the timing is perfect for a "Boycott Summer," which would boost immigrant rights activism both in Arizona and nationally.
Why Republicans Should Regret Scott Brown's "Massachusetts Miracle"
Randy Shaw: Prior to Brown's win, national Democrats were adrift, the base was deeply demoralized, and a path to finally passing health care reform was unclear. But Brown's win changed this, providing a desperately needed wake-up call to national Democrats and the Obama Administration.
New Immigrant Rights Campaign to Mount Largest March of Obama Era
Randy Shaw: Organized by the Center for Community Change (CCC), the March 21 event will be the largest protest march since President Barack Obama took office.

To help avoid the "defining downward" of progressive goals on the key issues of 2010, I thought it would be helpful to assess what would constitute activist victories and whether progressives should cheer measures short of what they are now backing.

Alkylation of malonate ester with alkyl halides and sodium hydride
J. Med. Chem, 1994, 37, 1339.
Diethyl acetamidomalonate :1 eq
Sodium hydride : 1.1 eq
Absolute ethanol : solvent
Alkyl halide : 1 eq
Alkyl malonate ester product : 60 – 80% expected yield
To a solution of Na (1.1 eq) in absolute ethanol (3 mL/mmol of sodium) at 0 oC is added a solution of diethyl acetamidomalonate (1 eq) and after 20 minutes of stirring the alkyl halide (1 eq) is also added. The orange-yellow solution should turn light or less intense in color. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 4h (or longer and warming to higher temperature may be need). The solvent is concentrated in vacuo and the residue is dissolved with ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer is separated and washed with water (2x), brine, and dried over MgSO4 and evaporated in vacuo to give the alky malonate product. When possible the product may be recrystallized from ethanol/water.

Longest repeated substring problem
In computer science, the longest repeated substring problem is the problem of finding the longest substring of a string that occurs at least twice.
This problem can be solved in linear time and space [ Θ(n) ] by building a suffix tree for the string, and finding the deepest internal node in the tree. Depth is measured by the number of characters traversed from the root. The string spelled by the edges from the root to such a node is a longest repeated substring. The problem of finding the longest substring with at least occurrences can be solved by first preprocessing the tree to count the number of leaf descendants for each internal node, and then finding the deepest node with at least leaf descendants that have no children.
In the figure with the string "ATCGATCGA$", the longest substring that repeats at least twice is "ATCGA".

if we are really trying to compete next year Xander is not the way to go. We need someone more established
If this is the case bring him up right now. Tejada is beyond awful offensively.
Reynolds can outhit him already right now with a tad more speed and power
I guess the only one we can get without parting with Synergaard is Elcantara.
I would do that first because I really like his overall game.
I would give up Syndergaard for Baez though.
This is the most exciting competitive Suns team I have seen in a long time.
Actually enjoyed watching them this season.
They had more hustle than the Nash Amare teams
I think it will take more than that for Price.
Where does Niese fit in?
I am a big fan of defense and since we got more athletic in the OF we have been winning more.
I do not want Duda to set foot in our OF again & Flores shouldnt be considered either.
I would trade...
my main concern with Ethier is the length of his contract.
The Dodgers would have to eat alot of salary and he has always had decent average/obp/slugging numbers besides this year as well as play a...
not that its here or there but I wish we drafted John Henson instead of Kendall Marshall.
That kid produces when he plays.
Mariners made out on this. Morse is a monster that can put the ball out of anywhere. Now he is in a situation where he gets to DH here n there.
Also as much I am glad Bay isn't on the Mets anymore,...
I love what Hairston did for us but can we please just get 1 OF that we can pencil in against lefties & righties for 150 games.
Is 1 really too much to ask for in a NY team?
Are we really gonna...
I agree, someone will be looking for a starter at the deadline. If he has a good half I can see us doing it as a salary dump. Nobody would give up a top prospect for a Johan rental
Sooooo, you have a losing team, you save some money by restructuring contracts and then run the same losing team back out without making a move to improve?
Sounds about right.
Absolutely, lets try and get JP Arencibia.
I think Duda's furniture injury will hurt more than his production last year.
Just our luck.
I would rather trade Mejiaa vs Gee to be honest.
Who is...
I think thats way too much.
I think Duda alone can net Rajai.
Lets start there.
I dont know how your guys are valued.
Is Gose considered a top prospect?
How about Sierra?
You guys have ALOT of outfielders. Is Gose even gonna get run next year?
Youre 100% right. Ike was the Mets 2nd most productive hitter and we cant afford to take a step back offensively.
Plus Sandy plays hardball(to the point where he mostly does nothing, ugh)
You guys have a surplus of OFs. Would you trade Gose, Sierra or Rajai for Duda? Or some sort of package along those lines.
You seem to have a need for a Lefty Power bat and a 1B/DH type.
Duda isnt...
Please no. is there anyone else we can get instead of Torres?
Juan Pierre, Endy Chavez, Ryan Thompson, even Lenny Dykstra would play for the league minimum these days.
I would not go out and trade for Stubbs or anything but to say that you would rather have Torres is a bit far-fetched.
He can steal 30 bases, hit 15 HR and has scored 90 runs twice.
I would...
Flores, Kirk, DD & Valdy can contribute to a ML club right now with Flores having star potential.
The hitters at the lower level are too far away for me to even guess.
Young power arms are great...
Stubbs is a productive player for a playoff team.
There are alot worse players out there. Like our OF for example
Den Dekker is similar to Drew Stubbs. Stubbs Ks ALOT but hits bombs, steals bases and plays prety good D. MDD is probably a better fielder.
I have no problem with giving him a shot.
We need to...
I would only give up Flores in an Upton deal which won't happen.
I like Young. Great xbh hitter, good fielder, decent eye
I would love to get Chris Young.
Good defender, power, speed and RHB. We need all of that.
We have too many young lefties.
DD & Kirk have crazy tools but their K rate is in Dunn, Stubbs,...
Yea my cable guide said Suns/Kings but all I saw was a Clippers season preview.
What a frigging tease.

Offer some kudos...
Join the conversation...
Ask a question...
Add your comment...
|Here are some details about my project:
|Romantic, Classic, Formal / Bridal
What materials did you use? Silk Dupioni, Tulle, beads and pearls. Couldn't find lace to bead so I made my own design. Also made and beaded the veil and baby headband.
What are you most proud of? I am using the talents that I learned form my Mother who had a project always in progress. She sewed all her lifeand could make anything. She was the real "Craftsy" person making things from everything and anything. Once for girls camp she made sun hats for 8 girls out of sprite cans cut into panels, paper punched around edges and crocheted together. Her generation had to use, reuse and repurpose things they found in every day living because there weren't the choices we have today.
Awesome Job Mom!! I love it and will treasure it forever! Isley will do the same with her mini wedding dress!
I am not sure how to vote! I signed up it I don't see anywhere that let's me cast my vote!
Beautiful dress for a beautiful girl! Amazing!

I met with Amy last night, and her changes are great. She is leaning out, and the carbohydrate cycling works well for her. She's lost two pounds, and her composition has changed a lot. Her waistline has come in greatly from the first photos. Her transformation is fabulous with nearly four weeks left.

Amy Virk 3/3/2012
It's been several weeks since I've posted about Amy. Not because there hasn't been anything to write about, but because I forgot my camera for updated pics. Even without the updates I can say that Amy is doing great.
Amy Virk 2/10/12
Amy and I met for posing. We took a day off from training even though I normally train Amy on the days we meet. Sometimes it's necessary.
Amy Virk 1/14/11
I spent some time with Amy today. We took her measurements and weighed in. She is on track, and has lost a pound bringing her weight to 126 lb.
Amy Virk 1/7/2011

Romero Sees No Problem With Facing Carl Frampton
Carl Frampton hopes to fight Jonathan Romero after the new IBF champion expressed a willingness to face him in Belfast.
The unbeaten Colombian claimed the vacant super-bantamweight title last month with a split decision win over Alejandro Lopez, and he would travel to Frampton's hometown to defend the belt if he is paid enough.
Romero respects his Northern Irish rival, but is confident he would inflict a first defeat on the 'Jackal',
"Frampton is a great boxer, to which I have been following and I know he has good qualities," he told the Belfast Newsletter.
"But he does not give me any kind of fear and if they offer me good money, I would be willing to go to defeat him in his home country, as I have done with all my opponents.
"I think this is one of the strongest divisions, but Jonathan 'Momo' Romero has arrived and is here to stay and I'll be getting stronger with each fight to beat the best."
Frampton moved closer to a world title shot with an impressive stoppage win over Kiko Martinez last month and he would relish the chance to battle Romero in front of his own fans.
"He says he will come here and fight me if the money is right. That is fine by me - but I leave who, where and when I fight to Eddie Hearn at Matchroom and my manager Barry McGuigan," he said.
"They are working away in the back ground sorting out my next fight and I leave all that to them. I would love to fight for a world title in my next outing - but we will have to wait and see.
"Since the Martinez fight I have been taking it easy - but I am back training once a day now to maintain my weight and my fitness. Hopefully I will be out in late May or June."

Bangchak Fire
Pollution Control Dept monitoring air around oil refinery, warns of possible contamination
The Pollution Control Department has sent an emergency team to the site near Bangchak oil refinery on Sukhumvit 64 to examine the air quality following the explosion and fire at the refinery early on Wednesday morning.
The department's director general Wichien Jungrungrueng said the team is equipped with an air-quality examination mobile vehicle to collect air samples for testing out of concern that the air could possibly be contaminated with substances that can cause cancer.
As the explosion and blaze occurred at the refinery's pipeline, toxic substances from benzene and as a result of the burning could spread into the air and water, he said.
A separate team would also collect water samples from the area, he added.
About 100 families in nearby communities were alerted to the situation and were told to be prepared for evacuation if needed. However, the situation was quickly brought under control and no evacuation order was issued.
Phrakanong Pittayalai school, about a kilometre from the refinery, suspended classes and sent their students home.
The refinery will be closed for 30 days pending investigation.

Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action shows diversity still matters
Today's 7-1 Supreme Court decision on diversity in the University of Texas admissions program reaffirms the crucial role that diversity plays in the strength of America – even while requiring the university to again jump through hoops to prove the validity of its admissions program.
All students – no matter where they live, or what their race or social status – benefit from a diverse educational environment where they learn from the life experiences of their classmates, and can carry these experiences with them through their lives.

Success, as they say, has many fathers. In the killing of Osama bin Laden, proud papas from President Obama to SEAL Team 6 earned kudos aplenty – and justifiably so, given the monstrosity of bin Laden's crimes. But with all due respect to all those dads, it's time to meet Mom.
Few people know the identity of the real-life female CIA agent who hunted bin Laden, but Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow calls her Maya in Zero Dark Thirty, which stars Jessica Chastain in the role, as well as Kyle Chandler and Jennifer Ehle. You'll recognize Maya before we've even been properly introduced, because she's the only pretty redhead in Pakistan assisting in the waterboarding of a detainee.

text: I design and make limited edition bags which are sold at a boutique in NYC. The untamed black/ivory animal print I used in my latest designs resulted in absolutely stunning bags. Animal prints are always popular, and I am always searching for beautiful fabrics to use in my creations. Every aspect of my order was handled in a timely fashion, and my order arrived pristinely folded, wrapped in plastic and shipped in an appropriately sized box. I look forward to a continuing relationship with this company. 9.27.2016

"We haven't really thought about it too much," defenseman Brooks Orpik said. "We've heard all the chatter about him coming back. It doesn't change anything for us to be honest. Even if he does come back, we all have a lot of respect for the player he is but that being said, I don't know how effective he's going to be if he comes back and he's playing at whatever level he's playing at."
ha, Orpik was on the ice for both of pavel's assists, including the cleary goal in which he was a pilon
he couldn't move Homer on the B-raf goal, but he did help with screening Fleury
on the Zetterberg goal, Z was his man to pick up in front of the net and he was completely exposed. ha immature penguins talkin s***, gotta love it.
We've heard all the CHATTER? lmao, that chatter was the rumbling of the ground underneath you son, as your stanley cup hopes are crumbling again in the earthquake that is the BIG RED MACHINE. domination
And as for crosby jealous, you never can tell exactly what a woman is thinking, but a better player is smashing Cindy's dreams again. I can imagine the nightmares of Zetterberg, killing off 5 on 3's, the shadow that wont be shook off, skating with Lord Stanley. its beautiful, the NHL players no who is the better player. A player poll ranked Lidstrom #2, Datsyuk #4, and Zetterberg #6 players in the world, while crybaby was tied for 8th. ha, he wasnt even picked as the best player on his own team, and the players know whats up, more than any of us, he was voted #1 whiner by a landslide tho... ship it

Pros: Great Cooling power. Easy install

Cons: Heat and noise with stock heat sink. I paid for the chip not for stock cooler.Please buy aftermarket cooler!
Other Thoughts: It can be used to heat a small room. Stock heat sink fan kicks to high as soon as you put any load on it. It really puts out heat. Stock cooler is triple thumbs down if I had third thumb.. I spend $ to get aftermarket cooler and that did the trick for me. Now I can watch a movie in the room without getting forced out of room because of heat and noise from fan. Stock fan WILL run high as soon as you put any load. I couldn't stay in same room before I got new heat sink for more than 10 min because heat and more for noise. When it kicks high, it's like being in an air plane. Make sure to get a good cooler and have vented case. Now I really love this chip.READ FULL REVIEW

Canelo: I'd Like Pacquiao in 2012, Mosley and Cotto Too
By Jaime Alfredo Gomez, notifight.com
WBA junior middleweight champion Saúl "Canelo" Álvarez has big plans on his mind. The 20-year-old boxer is training for the first defense of his title, scheduled for June 18 in Guadalajara against British boxer Ryan Rhodes at the VFG Arena.
As previously reported on BoxingScene.com, Alvarez would like to face Mexican rival Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in September or December. Chavez goes for the WBC middleweight title on June 4 against champion Sebastian Zbik.
"I hope that he wins in June and then he and I could fight in September or December. I told my company to arrange this meeting. I know Chávez, there is no grudge, however it bothers me that there is not a lot of discussion [to do the fight]. I'd like give this fight to the people, and we must do it. Nothing else would have to be negotiated other than the weight for the fight," Alvarez said.
Alvarez is still thinking about Pacquiao in the near future.
"Of course I would like to avenge the Mexican defeats by taking such a challenge, but it would have to be in 2012. I would also like fights with Miguel Coto, Shane Mosley and other great fighters," Alvarez said.

The primary mission of the Great South Bay Audubon Society is to advocate for the conservation of habitats for native birds and other native wildlife on Long Island.
Recap by Ken Thompson
On an iffy morning ten brave souls showed up for our walk at Robert Moses SP. The weather was cloudy with a light misting rain and winds out of the north. This was a good sign that there might be some hawk migration activity at the watch platform...and there was. During our stop at the platform we saw six Osprey and five Merlins and one Peregrine come past the watch.
We then walked to the lighthouse and thanks to Jim Clinton's pishing ability we managed to see some land birds. There were warblers, American Redstart, Common Yellowthroat and Yellow Warblers plus many Eastern Towhees and Catbirds.
Later on at Jones Beach West End we were surprised to see over 100 American Oystercatchers on the sand bar. There was also a few Red Knots and Black-belled Plovers.
On what started as an iffy day, we had some nice birds and an enjoyable walk.
Recap by Ken Thompson
We had a beautiful morning for our regular Tuesday walk. We started at The inlet and proceeded to caravan down Dune Rd. As we drove from one point to the next there was a cloud of Tree Swallows dipping up and down across the road and the marshes and shrubs, and lining the utility lines.
Further on down the road we saw a group of egrets congregating along a shoreline, apparently feeding on a pod of baitfish.
We did wind up seeing 27 species of birds for the morning and we all had the pleasuer of the beautiful weather and some really nice sights.

This Saturday we held our fall Birding and Breakfast at Connetquot River State Park Preserve. As usual this was a joint effort between The Connetquot State Park Staff, The Friends of Connetquot and Great South Bay Audubon. Again we had a full house, the program is very popular and we always have a wait list. The breakfast was supplied by the Friends of Connetquot and the bagels donated by the Melville Deli. Annie McIntyre from the Park Staff did an intro to birds presentation, after which the Great South Bay Audubon folks led the bird walks.
Rescued Animals are STARs of the Show - Photos and Recap by Vera Capogna
An anxious crowd of about 60 people welcomed wildlife rehabilitator Katherine Schelp and two volunteers from STAR (Save the Animals Rescue) to Brookside County Park on June 16. Katherine was very informative and engaging, and obviously passionate about what she does. She shared many interesting stories about encounters she has had with many mammals, birds and reptiles, some with happy endings, some not too happy.
Katherine offered advice on what to do and not to do if you ever come across an injured animal, or witness a turtle trying to cross a road, or discover a baby bird that has fallen out of its nest.
Several animals made appearances and we learned about each of those species: A woodchuck, which is another name for a groundhog; a box turtle –do you know how to tell its age? A few birds of prey: A Screech Owl, a one-winged Long-eared Owl; an American Kestrel, which led to a little talk on falcons and falconry; and two reptiles: a Ball Python and a very unfamiliar reptile species, a Tegu, both are non-native reptiles that were rescued. Katherine explained that they must have been escaped pets, leading to a discussion about the dangers of non-native animals being released into non-native habitat.
Katherine also spoke of the importance of keeping your cat indoors as well as the piping plover/beach controversy on Long Island.
Refreshments and snacks, compliments of GSBAS were served. This June program is always popular with chapter members and the general community. We already look forward to next year's presentation.

Today we had one of our better walks in the last few years at Hempstead State Park. Twelve people showed up and as we started from the parking lot we ran into a batch of warblers. There were a Blackpoll, and a Black and White, and at near eye level and close up, a Northern Parula.
We had ten Warblers among over thirty species of birds for the morning. Some highlights were a pair of Scarlet Tanagers, all the Baltimore Orioles you could want, and good looks at Magnolia and Canada warblers.
At the end of the walk we spotted a Baltimore Oriole sitting on a branch, after we looked around we found a Oriole nest near where the Orioles were sitting.
Today was one of our better walks in a long time.
Recap by Ken Thompson - Photos by Jack Carlson
A dank and dreary start to the day did not deter the folks from showing up at our May Birding and Breakfast outing. We had over thirty people sit and have a continental breakfast while viewing a slide presentation of anticipated birds.
The Birding and Breakfast is presented by a group of organizations. The State Park folks, Pam Hunter, do the slide presentation and the set up of the facilities and food. The Friends of Connetquot pay for the food, Melville Deli supplied the bagels and Great South Bay Audubon provided the guides for the bird walks.
After the presentation we stepped out to the porch to find it raining. As we were waiting for a break someone spotted a Caspian Tern over the pond. It was immediately followed by a Bald Eagle. Then someone asked, "what is that bird" right over our heads in the tree next to the porch. It was a Yellow-billed Cuckoo. And we hadn't moved ten feet.
The rain did let up and we did go on our walks and all had a good time and saw a good variety of birds.

Spring Clean-Up at Brookside County Park by Janet Gremli On Saturday, April 23, 2016, members and friends of the Great South Bay Audubon Society joined together for the annual Spring clean-up at Brookside County Park. Despite the cool temperatures and sporadic showers, our group of volunteers magically restored the park using rakes, gloves and lots of enthusiasm. The bushes were trimmed, the was lawn was raked, and leaves and branches were removed. Volunteer family members, Karen, Dan and daughter Julia spent time sweeping the front porch and collecting litter. Grandma Elaine worked tirelessly trimming branches and vines from the west side of the main building. The butterfly garden looked great after Helga and Jean removed the ground litter of fallen leaves and dead stalks from the previous season to better expose the emerging plants. Members Jody and Janet trimmed the rhododendron bushes to clearly define the parking area while Vera leveled the many piles of mounded dirt near the porch and garden.
Bustling with boundless energy, five year old Julia was ready for a hike despite a busy day of yard work. Dan, Karen, Julia and Janet traversed the trails, collecting litter and debris along the way. The trails were festooned with unfurling leaves of skunk cabbage, delicate Canada May flowers, and the tiny crimson foliage of newly sprouted poison ivy. Walking through the woods, the signs of bright green leaves on trees and bushes are beginning to unfold, creating a bright contrast against the brown and grey of the tree trunks. With broad smiles and sore muscles, volunteers had the pleasure to see the transformation at Brookside accomplished by this team effort. Leaving the park, the sunny yellow flower heads of the daffodils dotted along the brook were a joyful reminder of the simple beauty that Nature holds.
Recap by Ken Thompson
This was our best ever attendance for Nature Walk. Thirty five students, from the East Islip High School biology class, showed up to do an assigned field walk. We also had a half dozen non students join us. We split into three groups led by myself, Bob Grover and John Gluth. We walked the area around the main house and one group walked to the hatchery and back. Over thirty species of birds were seen plus a box turtle and eastern cottontail rabbit and several squirrels.
The students were attentive,curious and actively participating. We all had a good time and they were exposed to the natural world. Kudos to the East Islip school district for assigning field work for their classes.
Recap by Ken Thompson
The first two April Tuesday nature walks were canceled due to inclement weather. Today made up for those days. Twelve people attended today's walk in Gardiners Park, taking advavtage of a superb morning to be outside. Comments were made as to what seems to be a delay in some trees budding and leafing out. We did manage to eke out twenty species of the usual suspects. A highlight was five Snowy Egrets in the marsh down by the bay. It is good to see them coming back to Long island.

Despite the threat of bad weather, the January 16th Breakfast and Birding at Connetquot River State Park Preserve was another success. The event is put on by the New York State Parks Environmental Education staff, the Friends of Connetquot and Great South Bay Audubon.
The room was again full for the continental breakfast and welcoming with the aroma of coffee. The Friends of Connetquot, the Melville Deli and other good people supplied the breakfast foods, which included bagels, cinnamon bread, scones, fruit, and more. Folks filled their plates and watched a presentation by Pam Hunter introducing winter waterfowl and birds we might expect to see.
Then we headed outside for the walks led by the folks from Great South Bay Audubon. We split into two groups and went to the main pond to look for ducks. We saw Gadwall, Mallards, Common Mergansers, Bufflehead, Hooded Mergansers, American Wigeons, and a Pied-billed Grebe. Afterward, we walked the paths around the building complex to look for land birds. A highlight was an off-season Eastern Towhee bathing in a roadside puddle that was seen by one of the groups; this unexpected sighting even allowed time to set up a scope and gave everyone a good opportunity see the bird up close. Total for both groups was twenty six species of bids for the day. We hope to see you for our next Breakfast and Birding event.

It doesn't seem fair to do our Montauk walks in above freezing weather. The weather was warm and slightly windy, not the toe numbing cold we are used to. The trip was led by Bob Grover and Ken Thompson.
There were ten of us as we started out by seeing a Lesser Black-backed Gull in the parking lot before we went to the overlook. At the overlook the seabirds were not as plentiful as usual, but we did have our usual mix of birds. When we went to the Camp hero location there were the seabirds, up close and in the thousands, making for very good looks for all.
At East lake we had good looks at a Iceland Gull floating over the surf just outside the jetty. A surprise was a pair of Red-necked Grebes at the entrance to the inlet.
Wrapping up the trip by driving Dune Rd, Edith Wilson spotted an American Bittern, the master of camoflage in the roadside ditch. A nice cap to the day as the sun was starting to set.

Might be but that's a non sequitur, you know that?
Aw man apk will jizzgazm all over this thread. The time has finally come!
I don't know who's the moron downmoderating my posts days after being posted but I want to acknowledge their work. Keep it up!
This guy is stuck in black hole related stuff and just can't move out of it.
My point is exactly what you wrote there. USAF hasn't been in a dogfight since Vietnam. Meanwhile CCCP (as the sponsor of Vietnamese) collapsed and all that's left is pulverizing [anti]airforceless enemy into dust.
So where does that scenario of F35 vs SU35 happen without a serious risk of all out nuclear war?
Thanks for the history lesson. While we're at it, tell me how USAF fared in WWI? There must be some relevant experience there too.
'Rock star' is a very useful term.
Jobseeking side, it's useful to filter out hipster, clueless, experimental and flatout scammer (as in all work and no pay) workplaces.
Recruiter side, it's useful to filter out narcissistic, deluded and gullible (again clueless) candidates.
Well we disagree there. There are things F35 does old planes don't and then there are things old planes do F35 doesn't. The same goes for old and new cars.
My opinion is dogfighting is not a top metric to judge a modern multifunction plane in the same way the crank is not a top metric to judge a modern car (by being obsolete). So the comparison is appropriate as it conveys my take on the matter (be it right or wrong).
BTW, you are one of those that'd say Boeing 777 is worse than Concorde because speed, right?
While I agree with most of your points I still think it's more than adequate (in terms of capability, pricewise I believe it's a disaster, but then, pork).
What you're saying is it's a bad tool for dick measuring games like Russia with its bombers or Greece and Turkey with their US provided fighters play? Well that I agree, it might hurt the exports if F16s beat it at it.
And tsotha already answered but I believe it's worth repeating: it's not a fighter. It's a design-by-committee everything plane.
I disagree that dogfighting is relevant in modern warfare, at least with USA as one side.
Though F35 is predominantly a pork project, it's not such a blatant failure as described.
The scenarios where USAF doesn't have a massive support network and has to depend on individual planes' capability to dogfight simply don't happen, because the planet is already nuked.
Why is dogfight a parameter in assessing 5th generation plane?
It's like saying my car sucks because I can't use a crank to start the engine like the old cars could.
A fucking patent on a fucking start button.
And we're supposed to admire the guy for his immeasurable contribution to the history of computing?
Bitch please. Go draw a plane or something.
This is, like, ultimate appeal to authority argument; reasons are a, b, c and d, and if you don't accept them, it's because you're inherently flawed.
Try again.
Yeah, hassle. I don't think choice of computer/OS has impact on hustle level.
While technically correct, your argument misses the point. Regular user doesn't want to service the computer/OS, they just want to use it. If bloat means less hustle (and usually it does), then bloat it will be.
Machines that have broken down will work perfectly when the repairman arrives.
