Marine Corps 238th Birthday Ball
GAINESVILLE - Gainesville put on their red white and blue with pride this evening, to celebrate some of our armed servicemen and women at the Marine Corps Ball. The annual event commemorates the traditions of the Marine Corps.
TV20's very own anchor Dave Snyder emceed part of the event and our reporter Yaremi Farinas performed to a 1940's song.
This year, the event was dedicated to all who served during World War II. The commandant for the Gator Detachment, Jim Yakubsin says World War II servicemen truly deserve the recognition after everything they did for this country. "We're doing a little something special tonight. It's celebrating or honoring the greatest generation. We're going to have a mini u-s-o show, back in the forties. We're going to play music, dancing. So to honor the greatest generation," Yakubsin said.
Sgt . Maj. Adam Yakubsin, the guest of honor said, "So basically tonight why we are celebrating because the history and traditions the Marine Corps have over their many years since 1775, is why we come together in celebration in the birthday ball to remember those who have fought for us and we can continue that tradition."
The Marine Corps turns 238 years old on November 10th.

Gators Drop Series to Alabama
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Gator Softball lost to Alabama, 7-0, on Sunday (March 23) in the deciding game of the teams' three-game set at Katie Seashole Pressly Softball Stadium.
The Crimson Tide opened the scoring with a three-run home run in the top of the first. The Gators (30-4, 5-4 SEC) got leadoff singles from Kelsey Stewart (Wichita, Kan.) in the first and Bailey Castro(Pembroke Pines, Fla.) in the second, and had an additional baserunner in each frame, but UF was unable to push across a run. The two singles marked the only hits in the contest for the Orange and Blue.
Delanie Gourley (Lakeside, Calif.) replaced starter Hannah Rogers (Lake Wales, Fla.) in the circle during the third inning, and held the Tide without a run through the fourth before allowing an RBI single in the fifth that increased the Alabama lead to 4-0. The Crimson Tide added three more runs in the sixth on a Gator error, an RBI double and a run-scoring single, producing the final margin in Alabama's 7-0 victory.
· Stewart's single to lead off the game for UF stretched her reached-base streak to 34 games; the sophomore has reached in every Gators game this season, and is now just three games shy of the all-time UF record within a single season (37 games, Michelle Moultrie, 2011).
· UF dropped a series for the first time since losing two of three to Alabama on the final weekend of the 2012 regular season.
· The Gators' two hits tied a season-low (2x, also: Friday vs. Alabama).
· Florida was shut out for just the second time in 34 games this season (also: March 7 vs. Ole Miss).
· Alabama's seven runs are the most by a UF opponent this year.
· Sunday's game drew 1,783 fans for a weekend total of 5,628 for the three games.
Head Coach Tim Walton
On what the team has to do to get better after this weekend:
"We've got improve quite a few different things. We've got to get better at locating our pitches, No. 1. We're going to have to get better with runners in scoring position, No. 2. We've got to get better at two-out hitting, No. 3, and we're going to have to get better at being able to overcome game obstacles and life obstacles. That's the nature of the game. Not everything bounces your way. You just have to improve on that stuff."
On whether the midweek game against UCF will help the team move on from this series:
"Potentially. We're going to go face a good UCF team and a good pitcher who has pitched really well against us. We'll see. I think anytime you can get out and play in the middle of the week, it breaks up the practice monotony. It always helps."
On facing Tennessee next weekend:
"As we recognized when the schedule came out, we're facing some of the better teams in the league right away. That's just the league. SEC softball is great top to bottom. You've just got to be ready to play and be able to make adjustments and get over things quickly, whether they're good or bad. You just improve on things."
Senior 3B Stephanie Tofft
On what Alabama pitcher Jaclyn Traina did to make it so hard to get hits:
"She's a good pitcher. She throws hard for sure. I think we just had trouble making adjustments in the box. It just wasn't a good weekend for us. Hopefully we can come back next week and come strongWednesday too."
On her long fly balls Friday and today off Traina that almost left the park:
"It was kind of a bummer. Definitely Friday, I was [excited], and then it's like 'oh, game's over.' I don't think I got a hit all weekend, so it was definitely rough. There were some other people hitting yesterday, so it was great to have other teammates hitting. Friday and today just weren't our days. We just didn't have balls falling in the holes or anything like that. Hopefully next game we get going."
On getting down early both Friday and today:
"It's always tough to come back, with a good pitcher especially. It's just tough coming back after getting down in the first inning right away. We can do it for sure, but it's definitely tough against a good pitcher."
On what the team will do to regroup:
"Work hard in practice. I'm coming in tomorrow to take some extra swings, for sure. I'm sure everybody will be. After this weekend, I'm not happy with my swings, so I will be coming in to do extra work. I'm sure everybody on the team will. Our team works, so I'm sure everybody will be doing their own work and getting better in the cages."
The Gators travel Wednesday (March 26) to Orlando, where they will face UCF at 6 p.m. ET. The game was added to the schedule to partially make up for the two contests that were rained out on Feb. 23 during the final day of the Lipton Invitational. Radio coverage will be available on WGGG (1230 AM).

Dead Minnesota City Council president wins re-election
ROCHESTER, Minn. (AP) — The president of the Rochester City Council has won re-election — even though he's been dead for four months.
The late Dennis Hanson won 51 percent of the vote Tuesday, defeating a challenger and a write-in candidate.
Hanson filed for re-election in May but died of a brain aneurysm in June. State law prohibited his name from being taken off the ballot. Hanson's supporters say they campaigned on his behalf to give voters a new election with a choice of candidates.
Rochester now will have a special election, likely in early April, to fill Hanson's seat.
John Eckerman, who led the Hanson campaign, tells the Post-Bulletin (http://bit.ly/SBpA8Y) it was never about a "sympathy vote" but was instead about giving voters a choice.
Hanson had been council president since 2008.

Nice holsters
This is what I use typically...
A Bianchi 7L
A Matrix Holster from Galco. It's actually for a USPc... It works for the P99, but not quite as well.
And here is a Maximo special (he is a member here)
I thought I'd post some pictures of some holsters for the P99c. Still not sure which I like best.
Fist #1A holster with body protector.
Fist #1A holster Kydex version, with body protector.
The Kydex holster also fits the P99!
This is the Comp-Tac Pro Undercover for the P99.
The P99c fits the Comp-Tac Pro Undercover just fine and has just a bit of extra room at the end.
Quick impressions:
The #1A in Kydex is super thin and adds very little width to the gun. The gun fits into the holster with a nice secure "click" at the trigger guard. The #1A in leather is made very well. Very tight fit that will have to be broken in a bit. The leather hugs the gun and does not add the degree of bulk I expected from a leather holster. The body protector costs extra but is worth the $8.00 since it keeps the slide away from the body. The Comp-Tac is a bit thicker than the Fist and rides a bit higher on the belt line. I received the Fist holsters exactly 3 weeks after placing my order. Comp-Tac took about 2 weeks. Both companies have been great to deal with.
Sorry for the long post. Hopefully these comparisons will be helpful.

Wow... that Fist leather looks nice.... I am impressed
I don't care for the looks of that Kydex though... the stitching on Kydex doesn't make sense to me at all....
Comp-tac has always had good stuff..thanks for sharing those nice pics
That Maximo looks really nice. Great craftsmanship.
They make a tuckable but the Pro Undercover in the picture is not tuckable. Their web site is www.comp-tac.com.
I think I'm already finding the forward cant of the Fist unnessary and for my body a bit uncomfortable. The gun has such a small footprint I think a straight drop might be a better bet. This is no comment on the quality of the holster, just how I fit it.
What cant/angle do most of you have on your holsters?
I have a straight drop P99c holster from Walther that I bought at Earls and it sure feels right.....I do not like forwward cant on IWB holsters....

Teachers, Authors, Speakers, Writers And Experts!
Copy My Blogging System To Sell Your Online Course. Follow My Step-By-Step Blueprint, Updated For 2017
One of THE BEST Internet marketing events I have ever been to was the World Internet Summit Melbourne (you can read my recap here). For me the event was awesome not because of the content, but because of the caliber of people I met and spoke with.
In Melbourne I had lunch with Mike Filsaime and Tom Beal, met and then chatted with Mark Joyner, hung out with Daryl and Andrew Grant for the first time in person and just had a great time with all the other attendees and speakers.
The guys behind the event, Tom Hua and Brett McFall have teamed up with Mike Filsaime and his i5Gold team, Donna Fox and Paulie Sabol, to do a combined event, this time called the World Internet Main Event and it's going to be held in San Francisco from September 13-16, 2007.
Needless to say I think this event is going to rock. Unfortunately I'm not going because I don't want to travel all the way to the USA, but if you are in the area or can travel there and you have never been to an event like this, definitely go, it's a blast.
In terms of content, you can expect the usual – 90% content from each speaker, followed by 10% sales pitch for the package the speaker offers. The content is targeted at relative beginners, but even if you are experienced, it's worth going just to see how these guys and girls ply their craft. It's quite incredible to watch the presentations even if you know most of the content – just beware the sugar rush!
Here's the link to the information page which lists the speakers and details –
Here's the best bit about this event – since Mike Filsaime is part of it, he's giving a copy of Butterfly Marketing (the full digital-version script) to every single person who buys a ticket.
The cheapest way I know of to get Butterfly Marketing is $497 for the digital version, so if you were considering buying the package you may as well buy a ticket to the event and get the script and course for free!
You can check out details about the offer at the World Internet Main Event page.
I can not wait to attend this Event! I was hoping Yaro that you would be there so I was able to meet you in person, I can understand the long journey you have though! I was able to get the ticket at a couple hundred dollars off plus get the BM script, which is a huge bonus, now to figure it out!
Anyway I would recommend anyone who is able to attend to do so! This is where your like minded people congregate and your motivational level will skyrocket! See you there everyone…
Talk soon,
Toki Tover
Sounds like an awesome event. Since I live in southern california, I'll definitely think about going. You should take a business trip down here, San francisco is a great city to have at!
thanks for the info Yaro
Yaro, thanks for the alert. I used to live in SF and I miss it terribly. I also appreciate the link to the 'sugar rush' phenomena article. Anyone new like me (BMM student or not) should read that post over twice before spending a dime.
Sounds like a great event. I can't go this time, but I'll keep the event in mind.
[…] to the amount of traffic or subscribers that the blog has. Also, have a read of what Darren Rowse, Yaro Starak and Josh Spaulding […]

Ok so I have a little problem, might be a big one not overly sure yet.
Someone broke the door of my gas tank and dumped dishsoap into my gas tank. I know who it is but right now can't do anything about it. Due to the fact it's a never ending circle in which would only make things worse right now. He knows where I live, and I like my stuff.
So I drove to work today and after being at work for 2 hours found my gas door broken with no gas cap on, as well as soap all around the filler.
I drained the tank replaced the gas filter put fresh gas in and it never lasted more then 5 mins before it died. Never found any gel or soap in or around the drained gas. Nothing in the fuel filter either.
What have some of you guys done im sure it's happened to at least a few or us with soap, sugar or WHY.

Every Tuesday after practice, Ka'Deem Carey grabs a water bottle, has a quick drink, composes himself and holds "Carey's Court."
Topics usually center around football, but he's been known to talk about a little bit of everything. This week, we had our recorder running when Ka'Deem chatted. Here are some highlights:
On running hungry: "I love to play that way. I love to punish teams, because they're out to punish me. Why accept the hit when I can deliver the hit? That's the main reason I run that way."
On quarterback B.J. Denker having success in the passing game against USC: "It impacts me a lot and this team. Him throwing the ball down the field like he did, I'm excited to see what's going to happen because now they're going to see that we have a threat down the field. Toward the end of the game, that's when I got a little bust in there. That's going to spread it out a little bit and maybe take another guy out of the box. So we'll see."
On the Utah Utes: "They play with heart. They're not always talked about. They're not always a Stanford or a Washington. They just play hard and physical."
On if he gets sore after games: "Last game (at USC), I wasn't sore, to tell you the truth. I was surprised. Maybe the 21 carries saved me a little. ... The Washington game, I was a little sore."
On having a home game for the first time in more than a month: "I'm so excited. The fans in this state need it. We need to get out here and have fun and roll around. They don't see what we built up. We had a great practice today and I'm excited to show Tucson what we're about now."
On keeping things positive after back-to-back losses: "Coming off of two losses, we can't hold our heads down, we have to keep it moving. We're a good team and things will click. I think they're already starting to click."
On his north-south style of running: "I feel like I can't do a lot of dancing. (Tacklers) are flying at me ... so it's just hard-nosed football and running down their mouth. Don't give me that open lane, because I'll shake you and go get room. Until I get some room, though, I'm downhill."

I've been using this every morning since I got it and I'm really loving it. It de-puffs and hydrates my under-eyes better than anything else I've tried. There's no sticky, tacky feeling afterwards. I also feel like I'm using less under-eye concealer with this. My only suggestion is to make sure you shake well or it does come out a little "chunky," like cottage cheese. This is definitely on my repurchase list.5

HAMLEY, Circuit Judge.
In this mandamus proceeding, CMAX, Inc., seeks to vacate a district court order postponing the trial of petitioner's action against Drewry Photocolor Corporation.
CMAX is an air freight forwarder (indirect air carrier) operating under Civil Aeronautics Board authority and regulations.
Drewry answered, setting up certain defenses. Plaintiff and defendant moved for summary judgment but both motions were denied. Pretrial proceedings were then had. CMAX answered all requests for admissions and all interrogatories submitted and propounded by Drewry. On May 1, 1961, the district court signed a pretrial conference order, under provisions of Local Rule 9 of the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, Central Division, West's Ann.Code. On the same day the cause was set for trial on June 6, 1961.
On May 18, 1961, the bureau of enforcement of the Civil Aeronautics Board instituted an enforcement proceeding against CMAX.
The relief requested by the enforcement attorney was revocation of all operating authority previously granted to CMAX, and such other and further relief as the Board might deem proper. In the petition for enforcement filed by the Board's bureau of enforcement on the basis of this complaint, the purpose of the proceeding was stated as follows:
Eight days after this Board proceeding was instituted, Drewry gave notice that it would move in the district court for a continuance of the trial in CMAX v. Drewry to a date subsequent to the completion of the proceedings before the Civil Aeronautics Board. This motion was supported by an affidavit of one of Drewry's attorneys. It was therein alleged that there were then pending, in that district court, at least twelve actions against various shippers by CMAX, in which the latter was seeking recovery for alleged undercharges. It was further alleged that CMAX had made similar demands against many of the other shippers listed in the administrative complaint, and that the total recoveries being sought by CMAX were in excess of $500,000.
It was also alleged in the affidavit of this attorney that in the Board proceeding there will be a comprehensive investigation as a result of which there will be developed and made available for the information of the district court the facts and circumstances concerning the practices followed by CMAX in undercharging customers. The demands being made by CMAX, it was alleged, involve a great variety of circumstances and intricate factual situations suggesting a program of willful and intentional abuse of the position of CMAX as a freight forwarder. It was further alleged that if the Board proceeding results in an order depriving CMAX of its operating authority,
Drewry's motion to postpone the trial was argued on June 6, 1961, and on that day granted. The motion was granted on the ground that the Board proceeding might result in an order which would affect this and other pending district court actions in which CMAX is seeking
A district court has inherent power to control the disposition of the causes on its docket in a manner which will promote economy of time and effort for itself, for counsel, and for litigants. The exertion of this power calls for the exercise of a sound discretion. Where it is proposed that a pending proceeding be stayed, the competing interests which will be affected by the granting or refusal to grant a stay must be weighed. Among these competing interests are the possible damage which may result from the granting of a stay, the hardship or inequity which a party may suffer in being required to go forward, and the orderly course of justice measured in terms of the simplifying or complicating of issues, proof, and questions of law which could be expected to result from a stay. See Landis v. North American Co., 299 U.S. 248, 254-255, 57 S.Ct. 163, 81 L.Ed. 153.
Where the district court, upon a consideration of such factors, grants a stay, such action may be tested in this court by way of mandamus. See Chronicle Publishing Co. v. National Broadcasting Co., 9 Cir., 294 F.2d 744. But mandamus is a drastic remedy to which resort should be had only in extraordinary cases. La Buy v. Howes Leather Co., 352 U.S. 249, 77 S.Ct. 309, 1 L.Ed.2d 290. The granting of such a writ is discretionary with this court, and such relief will not be accorded when to do so would work a substantial hardship on the affected parties. United States v. Carter, 9 Cir., 270 F.2d 521, 524. Even where hardship will not result from the granting of a writ, this will not be done except upon a strong showing that the district court has abused its discretion. Chronicle Publishing Co. v. National Broadcasting Co., 294 F.2d at 747.
Arguing that the district court has abused its discretion in granting the stay here in question, CMAX asserts, in effect, that the proceeding before the Civil Aeronautics Board cannot resolve any of the issues which must be decided in the case of CMAX, Inc. v. Drewry Photocolor Corp., and that the delay in the latter proceedings will result in irreparable injury to CMAX and in a miscarriage of justice.
If in fact there is a fair possibility that a stay of the district court proceeding will result in irreparable injury and a miscarriage of justice, petitioner's prospect of showing an abuse of discretion would be considerably increased. As stated in Landis v. North American Co., 299 U.S. 248, 255, 57 S.Ct. 163, 166, 81 L.Ed. 153,
But CMAX has not made a strong showing in support of its assertion that it will suffer irreparable damage and a miscarriage of justice. The relief which
But this, in any event, would be the extent of its damage. CMAX states that all discovery proceedings have been concluded, and hence there is presumably no problem of preserving evidence. If there were such a problem, application could be made in the district court to permit further discovery proceedings.
It may be that CMAX will be prejudiced by the delay in the sense that evidence will be obtained, or rulings made, as a result of the Board proceedings, which will adversely affect the claims which CMAX asserts in the district court. But this is not the kind of prejudice which should move a court to deny a requested postponement. If CMAX is prejudiced by such an eventuality it will be because the Board proceedings demonstrate a weakness in its case. And if its case is weak, justice will be served by having that fact revealed prior to the district court trial.
No impressive showing of irreparable damage or injustice having been made we are not inclined to judge the stay order with a critical eye. Absent such a showing there is little incentive to substitute our judgment for that of the district court in such matters as this.
The district court did not undertake to state just what could result from the Board proceeding which would be helpful in deciding the district court case. Petitioner argues that no evidence or finding of fraud on the part of CMAX, or excusatory circumstances on the part of shippers, developed in the Board proceeding, could provide a defense against CMAX's claim in the district court action.
Petitioner may or may not be right as to this. But at the very least, the Board proceeding will provide a means of developing comprehensive evidence bearing upon the highly technical tariff questions which are likely to arise in the district court case. Moreover, if that proceeding should result in a revocation of CMAX's operating authority, the district court will be enabled to explore the effect thereof on that carrier's standing to collect past undercharges. If the district court trial should proceed now, and result in a judgment for CMAX, Drewry would be deprived of this possible defense or, at best, would have to assert it in supplemental proceedings.
To these considerations must be added the fact that several other similar cases are now pending in the same district court, and more are likely to be filed in the near future. In the interests of uniform treatment of like suits there is much to be said for delaying the front-runner. The parties thereto will then have the same relative advantages or disadvantages which prior disposition of the Board proceeding will confer upon these other cases. Apart from this element of fairness, the pendency and prospective filing of these other like suits gave the district court a special incentive to accept any aid which might reasonably be forthcoming as a result of the Board proceedings.
The petition for a writ of mandamus is denied.
"We wish to advise you that at such time as this matter may go to hearing, considerable documentary evidence in possession of the shippers doubtlessly will be required, and should be made available prior to hearing date. Therefore, we request your assistance in preserving all evidence relating to this matter, and ask that such be supplied as it may be required in connection with the development of this case."
"I cannot tell and I do not wish to be understood now as giving any indication as to whether or not the Civil Aeronautics Board does or does not have authority to make an order directing the plaintiff here to discontinue these suits or to make a determination as to the amount of charges or any other factual consideration. I will not undertake to determine that until such an order comes or is brought lawfully before me. That in the meantime I think that that proceeding can continue until the order is made and it is concluded."
"* * * Only in rare circumstances will a litigant in one cause be compelled to stand aside while a litigant in another settles the rule of law that will define the rights of both."
But that observation is not applicable in the case before us because CMAX is a litigant in the Board proceedings and will have its say before administrative findings and conclusions are entered.

Spinning in: Winnipeg, Canada
Playing with the Spinner for a few weeks now, where have you gone to with your Spinner 360°? Any famous sights or interesting people you've captured 'round and about?
When I received my Spinner 360°, I knew I wanted to take it someplace special for it's inaugural journey. What better place to go than at a carnival? I figured that spinning rides + a spinning camera would equal awesome pictures. :) The timing worked out just perfectly, as I Red River Exhibition rolled into Winnipeg right after my Spinner 360° came in the mail! My friend Vince and I bought some tickets, 5 rolls of film, and we were off!
The sun was getting close to setting by the time we go there, so we knew we had to work quick... The first ride we went on were those flying swings and that's where we got two of our best shots!
Have you tried any of our masterclass Spinner techniques? Do you have any favourite shooting style so far?
My favourite shooting style has to be the Rollercoaster. I absolutely love the way it distorts the background, and kind of makes the image look like it was shot through a funhouse mirror. I love the idea of the TimeScan, and I've tried a few experiments with it, but I haven't achieved the look I'm going for just yet... A few more tries, and I think i'll get it!
In your first few Spinner 360° shots, which one are you most pleased with and why?
Of all the shots I've taken so far, i'm most happy with this one of my friend Vince and I on the swings. I think it really captures the joy both of us were having when using the Spinner 360° that night.
Have you discovered any top-secret tips you'd like to share to the topsy-turvy analogue world during your Spinner excursion?
I have quite a few ideas for some cool techniques, but having my spinner for only 2 weeks, I haven't had enough time to try them all! I'm devoting Canada Day long weekend to Spinner 360° experimentation :)
What reactions have you received from onlookers/other people while shooting with the Spinner?
People really aren't sure what to make of the Spinner 360° when you first show it to them... One person thought it was a 'gag' camera and it was going to spray him in the face with water or something, lol! Once they see what it does, the people that i've encountered are very intrigued, but are equally confused since you can't see the image right away. I find people are way too spoiled by the instant gratification of digital cameras, and don't know the joy of picking up your film, and 'discovering' your images. It feels like unwrapping birthday presents every time I look at a new roll! :)
Given a chance to take the Spinner 360° to anywhere in the world, where would you take it and what subject would you like to capture?
If I could take the Spinner 360° Anywhere in the world, I'd love to take it on the International Space Station! I think it would be really fun to take the Spinner 360°, pull the rip cord, and have it float around inside a few of those cool looking modules! Could you imagine taking it outside the ISS and getting a panorama of the earth and the ISS in the same shot?! Man, I think that would be absolutely killer! Someone at the Lomographic Society should really talk to NASA and see if they can get a Spinner 360° up there on one of the next missions! :)
Aside from outer space, I think taking the Spinner 360° underwater while snorkelling would be a really fun idea! You'd have to find a way to keep it dry, but I think you'd be able to get some pretty cool shots underwater with coral and fish swimming all around!
How would I describe the Spinner 360° in three words?
"A Plastic Revolution!"

Date of Stay: April, 2014
Check in was efficient. The owner is very friendly. The sites are level with nice grassy areas. The entire campground is well maintained and groomed. We did not use the hookups although they were available at each site. The bathrooms were notable for their cleanliness. The showers were hot. The wifi was a bit slow. We camped with our dog and cat. The place is pet friendly. AT&T and Verizon signals were strong. Verizon has LTE service here. The nearby Dayville Cafe is must with excellent food, especially their homemade pies.
Date of Stay: September, 2012
Rate reflects Good Sam Discount. This is a small, tidy campground with wide roads, paved slots for all the RV's, full hookups for all sites. Each site has room on the side to park a tow vehicle. Lots of pull-throughs. It is fairly pet-friendly (places to get bags, walk the dogs, etc), with a big field that is marked a dog exercise area. The park gives direct walking path access to the Evergreen Aviation Museum. The wifi is slower than we've had at other places, and our Verizon MiFi was also slow. Most of the spots are in the direct sun, except for sites 221-238, which have trees behind them. There was a bit of an odd smell when the wind blew from a certain direction (manure/fertilizer from farming operations nearby?). This may have been a matter of the season of farming. Not terrible, but noticeable. Wonderful access to dozens and dozens of wineries in the area. We would camp here again.
Date of Stay: September, 2012
Rate reflects TT Discount. A very large park with lots of different options for camping (tent, yurt, rental cabins in addition to RVs. It is surrounded by beautiful old-growth forest. RV sites were rather tight (between each other) and tended to be short, but since it was after Labor Day we had plenty of slots to choose from. There is plenty of space right in the campground for running, biking, dog walking, hiking, There are also dozens of Mt. Hood area trails within a 15 minute drive from the park. We would stay here again.
Date of Stay: September, 2012
What a treat! We stopped for a week and stayed for 2 months. We don't usually pay this much for a campsite, but everything about it was top notch. The campsites were level, large and paved. Each site had large grassy space to enjoy. There were lots of trees, making it a little tricky to get our Direct TV dish to work, but nothing encroaching on RV space and the shade was worth it. The park has a nice little spa, gym, and fenced pet play area (I wish that was a little larger). There was access to hiking/dog walking trails on back edge of the property. There was easy access to all the activities Bend has to offer. The office folks were accommodating and friendly. Although you can hear the trains pass by not far away, we found it to be a very quiet, pleasant campground.
Date of Stay: April, 2012
Stayed here for 3 months while working on a temporary contract. Our level, 50-amp, full hook up site sat between two of the fishing ponds that gave us water views out of all of our windows. The campground manager was helpful, friendly, and accommodating. Although we didn't fish ourselves, we watched many sunsets as fisherman pulled in pretty large bass. We highly recommend this campground.
Date of Stay: October, 2011
Stopped by this campground on our way south on I-81 and were pleasantly surprised - friendly staff, well-kept grounds, convenient access to the interstate. We woke early to exercise and there's a nice 1/2 mile loop through the park like setting. We used the dump station on the way out and no problems there.
Date of Stay: October, 2011
We stayed overnight on our way south down I-95. Very convenient to the interstate. The state park along the Long Island Sound is only 3 miles away for great access to the beach and a good sunset. The staff was friendly and had no problems with our site. The place was still a little crowded during October but it was a Saturday night.
Date of Stay: September, 2011
We arrived to friendly staff that accommodated our need for a clear sky (satellite). The campground is well-manicured and neat. Most of the campground appears to be seasonal campers that appeared to have headed south by now. The laundry room was very clean. This is a great campground for exploring the southern Maine coastal towns and beaches. There are many exceptional restaurants in the area. Would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: September, 2011
Great beach accessible campground near the delightful town of Newburyport, MA. We had some difficulty with a blown electrical outlet, but the electrician came out on a Sunday and fixed it. Otherwise, our stay was quiet and uneventful. If you like geocaching, there a couple of caches in the area.
Date of Stay: September, 2011
We camped here after Labor Day and the "Big Rig" area was completely empty except for us. This section is relatively new and the owners appear to take pride in keeping it landscaped and neat. The sites are packed gravel and level. The Wi-Fi is limited to the office and laundry area. This area of Maine is great for exploring the various beaches nearby. Prices dropped in September.
Date of Stay: August, 2011
This RV resort is separated from the main campground by a mile long gravel road. The resort is dominated by seasonal campers spread out over several loops built on the side of the hill. There were 2 saltwater pools, one for lap swimming and one for general use, located by the administrative building. The staff is very friendly and accommodating (we had a mail package delivered right to our door by the security personnel). The gravel sites are separated by boulders and foliage and offer some privacy. The hookups were fine. There are a number of very easy trails in the area they can be hiked or mountain biked. However, it is a mile long walk just to access these trails. Our AT&T phones did not have a good signal near our site.
Date of Stay: August, 2011
We stayed at a site with full hookups and had no problems with the amenities. We were not able to pick up the Wi-Fi signal though. This is an excellent campground if you're looking to access the White Mountain National Forest. We hiked many of the trails in the area after only a 5 to 20 min. drive. The owners are very nice and professional. The roads in the campground are a little rough but passable by our 40 foot class A motorhome. The sites are separated from each other by foliage offering some privacy. The little town of Bethlehem is nearby with a terrific farmers' market and coffee shop.
Date of Stay: August, 2011
This is a beautiful campground set on the side of a hill overlooking the rolling hills of Vermont. The campground is designed in a terrace style maintaining beautiful views. The grass is lush and unbelievable. The best grass at any campground we've been to. We rolled around in the grass on the side of the hill with our dogs and stared up at the clouds. We sure do miss that grass! There are a number of covered bridges in the area to see. Burlington and the Ben & Jerry's home office or a short trip away. The little pond at the campground makes for good swimming.
Date of Stay: July, 2011
We very much enjoyed our two-week stay at this campground in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains. It is a perfect launching point for hiking the many trails in the area. It is a small campground with limited facilities in terms of laundry, restrooms or showers. Your rig must be self-contained to stay here. This is a popular summer vacation area. Saranac Lake and Lake Placid or day trip away.
Date of Stay: July, 2011
A very friendly, laid back campground in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains, Kayuta Lake Campground provided a nice shady and level site for our 40 foot class A motorhome. There appeared to be plenty of activities for kids with a rather large arcade room and a small beach on the lake. We like our particular site because it offered some privacy and green space on a pretty large area. We ran into some low voltage problems during our stay because of record high temperatures in the upper 90's. The owner was quick to respond to our concerns.

Bowe Bergdahl has made headlines nationwide as the American prisoner in Afghanistan recently traded for five Taliban members after five years of captivity. Accusations that he had plans to desert, or was attempting to desert when he was captured, have made the trade controversial, even resulting in death threats to his father, who recently spoke at the White House to thank those who helped bring his son home. Bob Bergdahl spoke in Pashto to his son, who he noted is struggling to speak English at present, and who has not yet chosen to be reunited with his family — something officials say can be normal for returning prisoners of war.
The controversy surrounding his capture has led some, such as Michael Mukasey, former Attorney General under the Bush administration, to demand that Bergdahl be court-martialed. "We know what he did. You can't wait to try a case until you know absolutely everything about everything," said Mukasey in a Fox News interview. Others, like National Security Adviser Susan Rice, take a far more cautious and lenient view. "This is a young man whose circumstances we are still going to learn about. He is, as all Americans, innocent until proven guilty. He is now being tried in the court of public opinion after having gone through an enormously traumatic five years of captivity," said Rice, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Now, information provided by a close friend of Bergdahl's, Kim Harrison, on his mental state before, during, and after his entrance into the military has shed new light on the issue. Prior to joining the army, Bergdahl was in the U.S. Coast Guard, where he was discharged for psychological reasons, according to The Washington Post. His friend Harrison, to whom he sent personal items to just prior to his disappearance, and whom he had chosen to receive his remains if he should die, said she was releasing the journal and computer files to The Washington Post because she was worried about how Bergdahl was being viewed, as a scheming deserter rather than how she felt he actually was. "He is the perfect example of a person who should not have gone" to war, Harrison told The Post. "The only person worse would be someone with a low IQ. In my mind, they didn't care," she said.
Harrison and other close friends spoke on Bergdahl's discharge from the Coast Guard , saying that while he claimed he faked a psychological disorder to get out, they did not believe it. "I said 'You don't fake a psychological discharge, you have to become unfit.' I told him that," she said. "The reality was it wasn't okay. I saw it in the letters, the way the writing was changing, the anger," said Harrison. Later was accepted into the Army, she'd said, "'Why and how did you even get in? How did they let you?' I was furious."

The New York Jets have released outside linebacker Bryan Thomas today, ending his run with the team that drafted him. Bryan Thomas is in his 11th season in the NFL, all with the Jets. Bryan Thomas had been dealing with a hamstring injury and was doubtful for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. Manish Mehta first reported the move. The Jets have signed Donnie Fletcher to the active roster from the practice squad in his place.
The move by the New York Jets to release Bryan Thomas comes as a surprise. Bryan Thomas was likely to sit out this weekend's game with a hamstring injury, but his outright release was unexpected. Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports that Bryan Thomas might be brought back
It's unclear what the motivation behind the move was, but the recent play of Garrett McIntyre may have had some influence on the Jets' decision. Garrett McIntyre recorded two sacks and seven combined tackles against the Pittsburgh Steelers last week. The Jets have invested some time in Garrett McIntyre, and as he seems to be coming into his own they have cleared a path for more playing time by cutting ties with Bryan Thomas.
The Jets now have Garrett McIntyre, Calvin Pace and Aaron Maybin at outside linebacker. Along with the move to release Bryan Thomas, the Jets have signed cornerback Donnie Fletcher to the active roster from the practice squad. Donnie Fletcher was an undrafted free agent this year out of Boston College.

Nate added a topic in On The Workbench1989 Batmobile Build with my 5 yr old SonI started building a 1989 Batmobile with my 5 year old son. The kit was given to us by evilbenny, a fellow member of the Metroplex Car Modeler's Association (MCMA). The kit was missing the wheels and tires, which were generously supplied by some members of this forum. Thanks again to midknightprowler and afx for you help.
Here's the kit:
Here's what we've done so far - glued in the interior and painted the wheels:
The boys like the gold-ish wheels shown on the side panel of the box, so we painted the wheels Model Master bronze and will black-wash it next.
They don't want to paint anything, so it'll be faster. At one point I was scraping off some flash and my son said "Daddy, I don't want it to be too pretty" meaning I was taking too long, LOL.
When we get ready to build he'll go get everything and carry it to the kitchen table, which is big enough for us to all have access to the kit while building. He's pretty motivated.

Just goes to show that the cops don't always get there by the time you need them.
To those that paid for my freedom,
As with all statements I've made and All that I will make, please check your local laws to verify accuracy. (and if i'm wrong let me know as I like to be right in the future) After all I'm just some goofball posting on an internet forum.

War is not the ugliest of things. Worse is the decayed state of moral feeling which thinks nothing is worth a war. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which he cares for more than his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free. -J.S. Mill
Oh my - a protracted 911 and all the time hubby was takin care of bidness!!!

I was expecting the dispatcher to say, ok put the gun away and just give up, the police are on the way.
Over two minutes since the start of the tape, probably more than five before LE showed up. Seems like an eternity if you need help.
BG breaks in...wife calls 911 and reports B & E...wife stays on phone...husband informs BG of his mistake in entering this home...'bang'...BG accepts warning...police arrive to take report..."Clean-up in kitchen isle!"

Awesome audio clip. Most BGs that have the KAHONAES to break into an occupied house arent comeing in empty handed. If that BG lived he's lucky he didn't get a dose of a 12 ga like most of us have staged REAL close. Wife did exellent job of staying calm and for the most part, quiet. Thanx for that Fknra...

"If the thief is found breaking in, and he is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt for his bloodshed..." -Exodus 22:2
I've had this discussion several times with my wife that if she is the one calling 911 that she NOT give a play-by-play to the dispatcher! "My husband just shot the guy" etc.
I remind her that EVERYTHING is being recorded and CAN and WILL be used against me!
It's something to consider!
ALWAYS carry! - NEVER tell!
"A superior Operator is best defined as someone who uses his superior
judgement to keep himself out of situations that would require a display of his
superior skills."
IMHO the dispatcher needs a little more training. not very professional.
Deer huntin' is a hole in the swamp where i spend my wife's money....
Good for the homeowner.
And the dispatcher?....does your husband have a gun? Well, yes, what the heck do you think he just shot the bad guy with moron?
What kind of gun is it? Who is this guy? The kind of gun that bullets come out of, moron.
Geez.....does the caliber really matter? Just get the cops there as fast as possible.
,=====o00o _
l_--- \___l---[]lllllll[]
(o)_)-o- (o)_)--o-)_)
The only reason i can think of to justify the what kind of gun is it question would be to help the cops identify the good guy when they arive. Of course it would be more appropriate to ask what he is wearing or something. More than likely it's just a case of the 911 dispatcher being schooled by the liberal media to ask such assenine questions. You see when a gun enters the scenario the crime in progress is no longer the issue. The issue suddenly becomes what kind of gun he has and can we find out how he got it and who he bought it from etc..
picture this:
911 operator - "Your husband has a gun, (thinking, oh the horror), what kind of gun is it?"
Wife - " I... I...don't know for sure, but I think he's using the Browning M2 mounted to the tripod on our coffee table." :-)
I too have schooled my wife in this type of scenario and have instructed her to notify 911 that I am armed and give a description in case the cops actually do get here in time to do something besides take a report. Also make sure the cops identify themselves when they come to the door if we are hold up inside so I know it's really them.
Good thing they don't live in England. If they did that homeowner would be in prison for murder now.
When you've got 'em by the balls, their hearts & minds will follow. Semper Fi.
Call taker sounds like a rookie, and he made rookie mistakes. He should have been asking about weapons in the home in the first ten seconds. Sounds like a decent shoot, I hope it met all of the local requirements for the home owner not to get hassled over it.
Sounds like the dispatcher did fine to me. Unlike most of you, I have been the person talking to a person holding a gun and scared.
What kind of gun? Need to know mainly if it's a long gun or handgun. Cops responding to her need to know things like that. If he's inside with a handgun and they run across somebody outside with a rifle or shotgun, they have an idea that things are getting very, very bad.
Did he hit him? Well, that's kinda important, wouldn't you think? I do. The most recent call I took similar to this involved a woman who emptied her pistol into a bush in her front yard because the guy jumped behind it. He didn't stop behind it, though(lucky for him). I've been on the phone with a very agitated person when suddenly I heard BOOM. When I asked if he shot, he said that he had. He just put a warning shot into the air. Things like "Did he hit him?" are very important.
That play-by-play is very important as well. If somebody is breaking into your home, that updating is more likely to help you later than hurt you. Several times, I've heard things like "I just heard the front door kicked in! I'm hiding. Here he comes!" Then there's a shot fired or the struggle begins. If you shoot your attacker and, for some reason, your case goes to trial, that tape could very well make or break your case. Stack the deck in your favor.
As far as telling somebody that "The police are on the way, put your gun away." Neither I nor my subordinates will do such a thing while I am around. Our training is standardized to, "When the units get on scene, I'm going to tell you to put your weapon away. Until then, keep it with you."
Mabe some of you folks need to spend some time observing what really happens instead of just criticising because you don't understand.
I'll take a .45 and a large side of JHPs, please.

Did you find what you were looking for on our website?
We're always working to improve nestle.com.
What could we do better?
The first decision you need to make is where your passion lies. Every year at our Head Office in Switzerland, we hire exceptional graduates onto international development programmes based in different areas of our business. The emphasis is on the word "exceptional".
More than one third of our Executive Board Members started their career in Nestlé as graduates. By starting your life at Nestlé in these programmes you can be one of the future leaders of our business.
Whichever area holds your interest, you'll need to show us that you share our values and have your own distinctive strengths. Nestlé graduates stand out through their drive, passion and intelligence – and that's a standard you must meet. You'll need to combine also academic success with strong language skills and relevant internship or professional experience.
Find out more about our international programmes and the areas you could join:
CLARA, INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONAL AUDITOR: Read about her experience
As you'd expect from Nestlé, our audit service is world-class. Our Group Audit team adds value to our most senior managers both in our markets around the world and at our international headquarters. However, that is just the beginning. As you'll discover, the graduates of our Group Audit team are highly valued around the business. It's easy to see why.
The Nestlé Group Audit experience
As a Nestlé International Auditor, you'll be exposed to some of the key activities and teams within the Group. You'll gain an understanding of the operational efficiencies, the internal controls and the compliance issues in Sales and Marketing, Supply Chain, Production, Finance and more. You will help to improve our processes and facilitate the application of best practices. And you'll do this not just in a single territory, but worldwide.
Win a place at our Nestlé Group Audit and you'll quickly become a valued member of the team. That's an experience in itself. Our auditors work – and often live – in close-knit teams, sharing the pressures and successes of completing audits to demanding timescales. Excel in this environment and within two years you could be leading one of these teams and taking accountability for your own audit project.
The NGA offered me a unique opportunity to understand the variety of operations, cultures, customers and business models...

Continuous learning
Naturally, we will make sure you're fully prepared for this responsibility. Through on-the-job coaching from your Team Leader and a structured in-class training programme that covers audit methodologies, SAP applications, negotiation techniques, project management and process reviews, you'll grow as an audit professional. We'll add to this with continuous performance reviews and a first-rate mentoring program and within four years you'll be ready for your business-line position. This could be in Finance and Control, Marketing and Sales, Supply Chain or Engineering and Technical – in almost any country in the world.
Who are we looking for?
We clearly don't expect you to be the finished article when you join us. However, you'll need to combine a Masters in Business or Finance, ideally with a major in Finance or Audit, with fluent English and two additional major languages such as French, German, Mandarin or Spanish, to a high standard. As importantly, you'll need the flexibility to travel widely and strength of character and drive to flourish in a challenging international career that is often described as a lifestyle rather than a role.
Application process
Apply online (searching for CH-International operational auditor, or job id 140004UI).
We have several recruiting periods over the year (assessment process: video interview, assessment centre with final interview)
Regular start dates: 1st December, 1st March, 1st August
Our Engineers are among the best-trained – and most widely travelled – in the world.
The opportunity
Join our Engineering Program and you'll be introduced to our practices and technologies through three or four placements in Nestlé factories and specialist coaching sessions at our Switzerland headquarters and International Training Centre. After this four to six-month orientation is over, you'll commit to your first two to three-year assignment.
Now life becomes really interesting. Your engineering assignment could be in one of our factories around the world, working in the engineering, quality assurance or manufacturing department – in anything from food processes to packaging and refrigeration. Alternatively, you could be assigned to the construction of a new factory line or extension. Or you could be based in one of our Product Technology Centres focusing on product and process development.
JORIS, PROJECT ENGINEER, SWITZERLAND: Read about his experience
How your career develops depends on the expertise you gain along the way, your preferences and your professional background. As a Mechanical or Process engineer, you could become a Project Engineer constructing and commissioning new project lines, utilities or factories. If you decide to focus on a particular area or a food process, you might decide to become an Engineering Specialist. Or you could become a Factory Engineer, responsible for installation or maintenance and repair. All these options will leave you able to progress to Chief Engineer in a Nestlé Market, head up a technical specialty or become an Engineering or Factory Manager.
If you have a background in microbiology, chemistry, food technology or a similar field, you have different options. You could be trained to become a Quality Specialist, introducing the Nestlé Quality System to local markets. Or you might make your mark as a Manufacturing Specialist working with raw materials, recipes and processes, and acting as the link between the factory and R&D on product development. Again, these options open up a number of career destinations, including Factory Manager, Head of Factory Quality Assurance or Head of Manufacturing.
The challenge
Whether your academic background is mechanical, process, or industrial and chemical engineering, don't under-estimate the demands of an international career. Adapting quickly to different cultures isn't always easy. All of which makes it important to combine a flexible approach with fluent English and two other languages.
Enhancing quality of life and contributing to a healthier future

The line between being flexible and being a doormat
I need help, I am really stuck at a crossroad. I understand co-parenting is a give and take. I am just not able to wrap my head around some things. When an issue comes up, for example one of the kids gets sick. My ex's approach (during her time) is to call me, tell me about the problem, complain about missing work and I offer to take time off of work and take care of them. My approach is notify the ex, take the time off of work and take care of them. Sometime I will just get random text, asking if I can watch the kids for a few hours while she runs errands. Sure, no problem. I'm not complaining, I get to spend more time with my kids on top of the every other week rotation. I just see a pattern forming...
Her latest is an off the wall trip during her own week with the kids, so since they are in school she isn't going to take them. So now she is complaining that she won't see the kids for weeks. The Mr. Fix It me is trying to "fix" her self created problem (be flexible, trade weeks or something) and part of me is asking myself why the are you making this your problem? So how do you handle the guilt trips and where do you draw the line at saying no vs being flexible vs being a doormat?
Re: The line between being flexible and being a doormat

This one is tough..I can see her taking total advantage of you here. I would never EVER had thought to ask my ex to watch our daughter while I ran errands! Thats absurd. I get why you do it, more time for you with the kiddos, but it still isnt right. That is one of those times where she needs to either step up or suck it up as the parent and figure out what to do with the kids in regards to her errands.
My daughter's dad and I have always been flexible with her time, he is a little more begrudging about it, but he usually cooperates. If she is sick at school, I am always the one to get her, whether she is with him or not. That is because 1) I work closer to her school, and 2) he is a lazy-ass who never wants to drive anywhere or put forth any additional effort. Most of her schedule rearranging was due to her competitive sport schedule over the years, so there have been very, very few times that I asked for changes due to my own personal activities. And when that actually DID happen, I inquired with him ahead of time. Also, she is always free to attend any family gatherings with his side when she is with me, I never want her missing family stuff. She is 16 so we are getting close to the end of all this crap.
SO, all that said...my suggestion would be to base your flexibility on the situation at hand. If a business trip comes up, thats one thing, or if the kids have something going with their activities. If she is just looking to do something for herself, thats different. I am not saying to be a jerk, but being TOO flexible will get you taken advantage of, and also look bad to the kids. (for HER not you) If she makes a habit of skipping out, you may need to consider altering your custody agreement.
Re: The line between being flexible and being a doormat
Ex and I co parent 50/50 and we have it down to a fine art. Firstly we are each others back stop but do not take advantage of that. So for eg I would not ask ex to have the kids while I did errands, I have a whole week to do errands.
If he goes away for work he will ask me first if I can have the kids, no problem. If either has a social event on we swap days if possible.
But there is no taking advantage going on, the time swapping is only ever for valid reasons, work or a social event where the date is set by others eg a work dinner or wedding etc.
IMHO you need to set firmer boundaries, I would start to decline having the kids for a few hours while she does errands. Don't be rude about it but maybe have plans for that day. She is using you as child minding, maybe not on purpose but if you are not happy then it is up to you to stop the pattern that is forming before you get resentful.
Re: The line between being flexible and being a doormat
I had to set clear boundaries with my X about parenting time. Actually written down on paper for her during a counseling session for co-parenting.
I am a recovering codependent. Due to this I refuse to jump to fix.
If she needs my help, she must ask, nicely. That must include a question mark and a will you, can you, would you, etc. If that does not happen, I refuse or simply do not reply (as there was no question asked). If she asks for my help nicely, I still have the right to refuse... an explanation is not mandatory.
If times are to be changed, I require 24hrs notice. Flexible in case of an emergency. Emergencies do not include social events or errands.
If time change cuts into my personal time, that is needing something. See first boundary.
Now generally I will gladly take the extra time with my daughter. But my personal time is just as important as hers. And my job is just as important as hers. If I see a pattern of disrespecting my time, I change things up or refuse simply to drill home the fact that I'm serious about my boundaries.
I felt like a jerk at first. But it was necessary in order to avoid doormat status.
She is much more cooperative now and coparenting is improving.
Hope some of this helps.
Re: The line between being flexible and being a doormat
I agree with Zillard. With one caveat. If you are happy to get any extra time and it's convenient for you, even if it's a "favor" to her, take it. And DOCUMENT it. If at any time you end up in court you can show she frequently, voluntarily forgoes her parenting time. It also may help with child support by proving you spend more time parenting than the agreement outlines.
Here I am awaiting my ex to tell which two weeks of vacation time he wants this summer that he was supposed to submit to me by May 1st, JUST so I can be sure to plan any adult vaca time when she's gone.
Re: The line between being flexible and being a doormat
I am firm with this as I previously jumped to fix without being asked. I trained her to expect me to rescue.
"I'm hot". So I would drop what I was doing to turn on the fan, etc.
After divorce it continued. "I have to work Saturday". With nothing else. No asking if I have plans or am willing to take D. Just expecting.
I'm not ok with that because I feel bad about myself when I take on her responsibilities without being asked.
Re: The line between being flexible and being a doormat
I'd agree to take the kids whenever I possibly could and I'd secretly document every time. The easier it is to dump them on you the more often she will do so. After a while, you'll probably find you actually have primary custody, by default. If you wanted to make it official, she's built your case for you. A classic example of giving someone enough rope to hang themselves.
Re: The line between being flexible and being a doormat
Holland, I don't want to decline the small stuff, because it doesn't really affect much right now. It doesn't affect the schedule because that is counted by overnights. Plus stuff like this acts a counter if we end up in court over the current schedule or if she tries to say I am not flexible. Now turning down a week long schedule change is something I have considered, because if she offset it a single week it would be a non issue. If this was a business trip, I would be flexible as the need arises. I see this as her creating a problem and expecting me to bend to her solution, instead her exploring all of her options first and preventing this from being a problem in the first place.
Zillard, I often wonder if I was co-dependent. I take on the I'll fix it attitude until you have abused it. She asks first, so I give her credit there. 90% of the time co-parenting is smooth sailing. When her trips start affecting my time with kids, now or in the future due to changing the overall schedule. The biggest challenge is she looks at the here and now while I am looking the schedule asking myself how is this change going to impact the rest of the year. She keeps pushing me to change to a Saturday to Saturday rotation instead of the using Friday. Now on the surface it seems reasonable until I look at the impact. I can pick the kids up from school on my Fridays and I don't have to worry about the ex dropping them off or picking them. I would no longer have a full weekend to myself. I lose out on going out Friday nights. Am I being selfish?
EnjoliWoman and unbelievable, I agree with you 100%.
Re: The line between being flexible and being a doormat
My situation is a little different as I already have primary... 6 nights/week.

If you're anything like me, you don't necessarily look forward to having your picture taken, especially for things like the dreaded driver's license photo. Right up there with that (or possibly worse) is a picture for an ID badge. Think about it – your driver's license stays in your wallet, tucked away from the eyes of your friends and coworkers. On the other hand, many companies require that team members display their ID badge, for all eyes to see!
There are a few simple things to keep in mind that will make having a photo taken for an ID badge as painless as possible. Given that fellow team members, customers and other company partners will be seeing the photo on your ID badge on a regular basis, you'll want to make sure to looking your best in that photo.
Below is some advice for you and your ID badge "photographer" that will help you to put your best foot forward in your ID badge photo.
For the Subject:
Make sure to wear a flattering top that will look great in the photo. Avoid bright colors, big patterns and anything taupe, bright white or nude – these selections may wash you out or be distracting in a photo, especially when taken under fluorescent lights. I suggest sticking to darker colors (black, navy or dark blues and greens) or softer tones (soft whites, blues, greens, purples, etc.).
A large part of looking your best for your photo is ensuring that your hair is neatly styled and away from your face.
You may want to make sure no one is watching you, but be sure to practice your smile in the mirror. You'll want your smile to be natural and relaxed – don't smile too big or too small. If you decide you don't want to smile at least relax your face to avoid looking tense or angry.
This seems like a no-brainer, but make sure to look at the camera. You'd be surprised how many ID photos are taken with the subject looking to the side or above the camera.
Relax yourself – especially your face – when "posing" for your photo.
For the Photographer:
Look for a place that has good lighting to take your team's ID badge photos. The photo subject's face should be seen clearly and any lights you use should be at least 3 feet away from the subject. This way the light isn't in the picture and doesn't cast a shadow or cause the subject to squint.
A plain background, such as the one provided with our ID Maker Systems, is always best for any ID badge photos. A wall that's painted in a neutral tone or a backdrop in white, beige or light blue will result in the best photos. Your subject should then stand roughly one foot in front of the wall/backdrop to avoid shadows.
Talking to your subjects before taking the photos will help them relax, resulting in a better ID badge photo.
Turning on autofocus and auto flash in your camera settings will help you take the best possible photos of each team member with ease.
Consider investing in a tripod to steady the camera – keeping it still and level while taking ID badge photos.
Adjust camera height and angle as necessary so that just the subject's head and shoulders are framed in the photo.
If you don't like the photo you take, the team member probably won't either. Review each photo after it's taken so you'll know before printing the ID badge if you should take another.
IDville offers full ID Card Systems, which include an ID card printer and software, a USB web cam and a white backdrop along with all of the other necessary supplies so you'll be up and running ready to take those great ID badge photos in just 15 minutes!
Hopefully these tips and tricks will put you at ease when getting ready for an ID badge photo. For some great ID badge design ideas visit our Sample ID Card Library to get your creative juices flowing. Who knows, you might even end up liking your photo!

Hysteria: The British Daily Star reports that Britain is in for 30 years of extreme "killer winter storms" due to climate change. There is, of course, no way anyone can know this for sure. But that's never stopped the alarmists.
climate change,global warming,extreme weather Events in europe,european academies science advisory council,heat,flood,drought,freeze,alarmist,deniers,science,human carbon dioxide emissions
In its "Extreme Weather Events in Europe" report issued last week, the European Academies Science Advisory Council bedeviled the populace about a future of deadly heat waves, floods, droughts and deep freezes.
The report, which is the basis for the Daily Star's eye-catching journalism, suggests that individual member states of the European Union "will need to develop and share information on National Climate Change Adaption Plans."
Note that the report referred to "climate change" and not "global warming," the enviro-lobby's initial phrasing. The latter label had to be switched to "climate change" when it became obvious that despite the warnings that a hotter planet was coming, winters were still winter, and in some cases and in some places they've been quite extreme.
So to accommodate reality, to explain away the fact that cold and snowy winters weren't going away, the name had to be changed. With the switch came the cover the alarmists needed to claim that any and all weather events were to be blamed on man's carbon dioxide emissions.
The alarmists say that there was never a change, that the phrases have always been used interchangeably.
But keen observers have noticed that "climate change" began to replace "global warming" as the preferred term among the enviro-lobby when its predictions of heat-related disasters weren't realized and winter refused to retire.
Maybe another name change is in the works since the data show there hasn't been much change for at least 16 years and that the predicted superstorms haven't materialized.
It doesn't matter what they call it, though. By any other name, the conjecture has always been wrong. The weather more than 20 years into what was supposed to be an era of catastrophic climatic events has been nothing out of the ordinary.
The alarmists would say we are deniers. But that's a term better suited for them.
They have denied the science — they say it's settled and want no further discussion — as well as common sense and reality. They don't want the truth because they traffic in distortions and intend to mislead, the very opposite of science.
We do agree, though, that the climate is changing. It always has and likely always will.
But what isn't known is how much man is affecting the changes, which have been virtually nil since the late 1990s. Beware of those who say they know what cannot be known.

Date of Stay: July, 2011
Clean campground with very friendly owners. Only downside is feeling nickel and dime for everything. After paying $52 a night plus $5 a night for a dog, I hate to pay $5/hour for a simple canoe and $.25 for a shower. Resort was pretty wet but we have had lots of rain. Overall a decent experience but just a bit high for what you get.
Date of Stay: June, 2011
Haven't camped here in a year because they moved the weekend camping from lakeside to other side of campground. Used to be right on the lake but now it is just seasonals there. Good pool, ice cream and location. Nice little lake also. Will try again this year to see how new spots are. Some spots are very difficult to get into.

Pilots association –TSA scans "out of control"
|APA's David Bates
The union representing many American Airlines pilots is working to exempt its membership from the Transportation Security Administration's imaging body scans, saying the screening process "has spun out of control."
In a Nov. 1 letter to its members provided to Government Security News, Allied Pilots Association president Capt. David Bates recommends that pilots "politely refuse" Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) scans and request alternate pat-down searches. He said the pat downs are "demeaning," unnecessary and recommends pilots request it be done in an out-of-view area away from passengers.
"It's long past time that policymakers take the steps necessary to exempt commercial pilots from airport security screening and grant designated pilot access to SIDA [security identification display areas] utilizing either Crew Pass or biometric identification," he told APA members.
The APA represents about 11.000 pilots.
Bates made his recommendations because of concerns over the repeated exposure of pilots to radiation from backscatter X-ray exposure used by AIT technology and because pilots should be a trusted part of air travel security.
He told APA members that he had also written a letter to TSA administrator John Pistole that said pilots "are all keenly aware that we may serve as the last line of defense against another terrorist attack on commercial aviation. Rather than being viewed as potential threats, we should be treated commensurate with the authority and responsibility that we are vested with as professional pilots."
Despite the humbling pat-downs and scanning procedures, Bates told pilots they should maintain their composure and professionalism when they were performed and avoid confrontations. If pilots felt they were treated unprofessionally, they should file reports with the TSA, he said.
Bates made no mention of the recent high-profile incident in which a pilot for Houston, TX-based ExpressJet Airlines, refused a full-body scan using recently-installed AIT and a physical pat-down at a TSA check point at Memphis International Airport in Tennessee. Instead, it backed the continued use of AIT until less-intrusive technology is implemented at airports.
Another larger airline pilots group, the Air Line Pilots Association International (ALPA) has backed AIT screening procedures. In a statement issued Oct. 22, ALPA said it "fully supports effective airline passenger security screening" after having played a key role in getting screening procedures in place in the early 1970s. It acknowledged the "reservations and concerns" pilots had about AIT, but said, until less intrusive technology is available, AIT is better than metal detectors in finding improvised explosive devices.
ALPA is the collective bargaining representative for 53,000 pilots for 38 U.S. and Canadian airlines.
