Have you ever had this experience?
Someone (chapter leader, staff, volunteer leadership) comes up with a great idea for a new program, product, or service. Maybe it was even specifically requested by members. Your team builds it, hopefully on time and on budget. The result has lots of features, works easily and the way it's supposed to, and looks terrific to boot. And then it doesn't perform up to expectations or create the return on investment you envisioned.

Best diet pills available? Anybody have any advice. And spare me the eat right/exercise jazz, I'll be of course watching what I eat and I do exercise, but need a little help with craving control.Quoting: fatso 580254
Most people have craving because they're metabolism is screwed up by all the processed foods we eat like refined white flour, refined sugar, stabilizers and extenders. Processed foods have no nutrition and the body thinks its starving so frantically converts every sugar into fat for storage and you start craving more and more food because you're not getting nutrition. Ditch the processed foods, eat wheat bread instead of white breads, grains, fruits, veggies, meat and dark chocolate. Eat at least 5 times a day and eat whenever you're hungry, eat slowly because when you eat fast you will always overeat because your body needs a little time to send you the "I'm full" signal- quick eaters always overeat and get sick and eating slowly let's your body keep up with what's being eaten and you get a greater psychological satisfaction from the meal. If you don't eat when you're hungry and get the nutrients your body needs, your body will think something is wrong and it needs to slow the metabolism down and go into starvation mode and pack on the fat. Eating nutritious things whenever your hungry will boost your metabolism and your body will start shedding fat. Also, if you're hardcore, 1 hour of cardio- starting out with a walk on the treadmill just enough to raise your heart rate for a long period of time. You have to find your "fat burning" heart rate, not too fast and not too slow- just fast enough to be able to go for an hour.

Location: Sunflower and Plant Biology Research
Project Number: 5442-21000-034-07-N
Project Type: Non-Funded Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Jun 1, 2010
End Date: Nov 30, 2012
The objective of the project is to transfer an identified gene for rust (Puccinia helianthi) resistance into an acceptable confectionery sunflower genetic background and make it available to the private seed industry for incorporation into finished commercial hybrids.
Three known rust resistance genes, R2, R5, and Radv, will be introduced into suitable confectionery sunflower inbred lines. Sunflower line CM29 containing the R2 gene will be crossed with inbred line CONFSCL B1; line HAR-2 containing the R5 gene will also be crossed with inbred line CONFSCL B1; and line RHA 340 containing the Radv gene will be crossed with line CONFSCL R5. Both the CONFSCL B1 and CONFSCL R5 lines are confectionery sunflower inbred lines with resistance to Sclerotinia disease. The progeny of these crosses will be planted for further backcrossing in the summer 2010 season. The goal for the first year of this projected three-year project is to have the BC1 (first backcross generation) available for planting in the greenhouse in the winter of 2010-11 for production of the BC2 (second backcross generation). At each generation, the progeny will be screened for rust resistance. This should allow the development of pure inbred lines with rust resistance after only a few generations, and the lines can be released to the sunflower seed industry by 2012.

Obama, Sarkozy discussed oil market conditions - White House
U.S. President Barack Obama discussed conditions on world oil markets during a video conference on Thursday with French President Nicolas Sarkozy, the White House said, but declined to say if they talked about the release of strategic reserves.
The president and President Sarkozy agreed to continue their consultations about the tightness in global oil markets, in line with previous conversations, White House press secretary Jay Carney said during a briefing.
Oil markets are on red alert for a release from strategic reserves to ease supply shocks after French ministers disclosed last month that the United States had held talks with the British and the French about such possible action.
Asked repeatedly if the leaders' had discussed a release from strategic reserves, Carney flatly declined to comment.
I simply have no more information about that subject, no announcements to make on that subject today, he said.
The high cost of crude oil has driven up the price of U.S. gasoline since the start of the year, fanning concern that this could dent the gradual U.S. economic recovery and do real harm to Obama's hopes for re-election on November 6.
British sources said earlier in March that London was prepared to cooperate with Washington on an oil release.
French Prime Minister Francois Fillon said on March 29 that prospects are good for agreement between the United States and Europe on a joint release of strategic petroleum reserves.
No such agreement has been reached and the U.S. continues to consult with others of the 28-nation International Energy Agency to determine whether a release is needed, according to U.S. Deputy Energy Secretary Dan Poneman, who spoke to reporters on the sidelines of a conference in Washington on Wednesday.
There are many factors we have been analyzing including inventories and production, Poneman said. And we are consulting our colleagues at the IEA to figure out what makes sense going forward.
With U.S. demand for motor fuel dropping, domestic crude inventories rose by nearly 19 million barrels in the three-week period through April 6, increasing by more than 5 percent and potentially lessening the need for any strategic petroleum reserve (SPR) release.
Oil prices have also fallen, and U.S. gasoline prices retreated this week for the first time since late January, government data shows.
The IEA on Thursday said that world oil prices may soon fall further since the oil market has recent broken a two-year cycle of tightening supply conditions, as demand weakens and OPEC kingpin Saudi Arabia boosts its own production.

1. Re: Wow - Is SMC 4.0 worth the effort? VERY unimpressed so far.796313 Aug 17, 2010 2:20 PM (in response to 807567)Hi rhugga1,
Sorry to hear you're having problems :(

If in standalone mode, were you running any personal firewalls (i.e. Windows firewall or ZoneAlarm on Windows, iptables on Linux etc)?
Show-stopper problems right out of the box:
1) Java console won't connect. Tried from a mac, linux, and windows system. No logging or useful error messages.
You could try logging in using the CLI on your SunMC Server (/opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-cli) to see if it's a connectivity issue or a user/password issue.

The web UI should work, but I would diagnose your Java Console issues first, since they both end up talking to the same back-end (and the Java Console is more useful).
2) Web console will at least log in but nothing works after that.. Aside from the navigation panel

SunMC officially only 'supports' some of the older versions of Windows, but it actually runs pretty much everywhere (i.e. we've had customers run it on Macs, and I'm running it on a Ubuntu box right now). The installer should have put a SunMC icon on your desktop if it completed successfully.
4) I then tried to install the console on a windows box. After the installer completed, all I ended up with
is some XML file in the program files\SUNWsysmon directory. Once again no logfile or anything else

I have had the opportunity to work with many good attorneys throughtout my career but Don makes me feel like I am his only client. So no matter what the issue (concerning my company or personal matters), he can get them resolved for me. But even more impressive is that Don will respond within hours to my request and then keep on it for me until it is completed to my satisfaction... taking the time throughout the process to make certain I understand the ramifications of all that we do.
Posted by CS
Don has been my personal and business lawyer for 30 years. He has always represented me in the finest way possible. His advice is invaluable on a wide range of topics including litigation, contracts, business organization, M&A, tax, and personal matters. His firm has many specialists. He is aggressive when necessary. We have been to court several times with excellent results. His billing has always been reasonable for the matter at hand.
Posted by Michael
Donald got our group through a very large, complicated acquisition involving many, many hours of work, meetings, etc. He and his team did a fantastic job for our group. He also has done personal work for my wife and I concerning real estate, remodeling contract, etc. His advice has been invaluable. I would recommend Donald without hesitation.
Posted by Dan
Over the past 3 years, Don Sperling has provided timely and thoughtful council towards a variety of issues for my business. Don has proven invaluable by assisting with business development, capital fundraising and general business organizational matters. Above all, Don is trustworthy, ethical and easy to work with. I will continue to utilize Don's expertise and consider him a key member of my business team.
I highly recommend Don Sperling to any business owner who is in need of an attorney to handle business matters for their established or growing business.

Coast makes a good LED light that uses AA batteries. I bought the one I have at Lowe's. $19.95 IIRC.

Got one of these a couple weeks ago: http://www.fenixlight.com/flashlight/fenixl2d.htm
I'm really happy with it.
Hand held lights are like anything other product in this world, you get what you pay for.
I've yet to see any hand held light that isn't a Surefire of one kind or another that compares in brightness or durability to any of the Surefire hand held lights. Generally any decent hand held light is going to require lithium batteries, not AA standard cell batteries.
I recently purchased another Surefire E2E Defender in a group purchase over at www.professionalsoldiers.com with the tail cap momentary and constant on position. It requires two lithium batteries and is small enough to fit into a shirt pocket, and only 4" long. However I recently had the opportunity to compare it to one of the local PD officers Mag-Lights that is 15" long and my little Surefire lit up the entire room, which was mechanics garage at night, and he was amazed that my little shirt pocket size light was so much brighter. It's an incadecsent lamp with 60 lumens of output for 2 hours of constant run time, and you can purchase the LED bezzle if your want to run the light more efficiently with lithium batteries.
In the end, I doubt that any AA battery light is going to perfom as good as any Surefire hand held.
U.S. Army retired
The magLED is a good light. I have a Fenix L1T that found its way into my pocket on more than one occasion. Also, I just recently purchased a Fenix L2D CE. Talk about bright. Way brighter than 90% of Surefires 2x (or 1x) cr123 flashlights. :) It is a great utility light. 120 lumens (actual tested lumens) on max and a low 10 lumens that will run for almost 60 hours without dimming. (over 85 hours on lithium AA's) Check here for a review.
While Surefire is awesome and has great quality but they are not the only quality flashlight on the block. They are top LE and Military contractor for flashlights for sure, but there are other similar quality flashlights for less on the market. Some with better machineing, some with better electronics (LEDs) some with better LED's (for now, surefire is supposed to come out with updated LED flashlights in the next couple months).
I would say right now Fenix is the best AA light for the money.
this out. I've always been fascinated by the E2d but the runtime is what has kept me from it. Supposedly there are upgraded lamp assemblies you can get for it from lumen factory that will make it much bright for about the same runtime. I may check into that.

This Fenix is amazing. The highpower, hard use flashlight craze that Surefire started has actually expanded so far around them that they have gone from maverick innovator to blue-chip standard already!
Don't get me wrong, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Surefire products, but they are no longer the brightest solution out there.
I wouldn't have believed that a 3v LED could be brighter than a 6v xenon - and until very recently, it wouldn't have been - untill I saw the new generation of Cree lamps; the Fenix being the most sophisticated usage so far.
There is a new LED coming from Phillips that will but them all to shame.
Have a look over at candlepowerforums.com for all the latest and greatest in handheld blindification technology!
Meanwhile, check out one of the new Fenix lights and prepare to be amazed. The Fenix is now my EDC, edging out my A2 Aviator.
Well I carry a cheap Dorcay
I like the idea of using a standard battery, so AA works well for me.
Thanks for the Fenix link
A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
I bought one of those Cabela's $19.99 Hyper LED lights that uses "AA" batteries... It's great! My next trip to Cabela's I'll get a few more it they haven't sold out...
I live in the woods and I've compared it to my other more expensive tactical lights... It is a great light!!!
3 Watt, 65 lumens, pocket clip, lanyard, "AA"!! batteries, 6 hour burn time, 50 yard throw... Luxeon LED... as bright as the Xenon bulb... light beam has a slight bluish tint as opposed to the standard yellow tint of a Xenon bulb...
I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't buy one and try it out... wish I found this one last year, it would have saved me some big bucks...

Looks like there are some great options using AA batteries.. I think the Feniz L2D looks like a hard to beat option for the money.
