Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Mechanicsville, called for Republicans to compromise on the looming budget challenges during a press briefing this morning.
The House Minority Whip said he opposes short-term continuing resolutions like the one introduced by the House Appropriations Committee on Monday. He said the "episodic, sporadic funding levels" of continuing resolutions, in lieu of passing an overall 2011 budget, do not address the essential challenges of funding the government.
The continuing resolution measure would fund the government for one week. The Department of Defense would receive funding through the end of the current fiscal year on Sept. 30.
Hoyer said Congress is not going to solve the budget with non-security cuts and that all aspects of the budget, with the exception of the interest on the national debt, must be on the table in budget negotiations.
Without a continuing resolution, federal employees could face a shutdown that Hoyer calls "costly and demoralizing — not just for federal employees, but demoralizing for the nation."
The ability to compromise is essential to the process, Hoyer said, and tea partyers who rallied on The Hill last week are unwilling to compromise.
Referring to last year's tax cuts, he said, "In December, we made some compromises we didn't like," he said. "We're prepared to compromise" on the budget issues, he said.
Hoyer said the budget is "a reflection of what people think is important."

I popped this LARGE tin open and admired the beautiful packaging. It is wrapped up inside the tin. When I opened it up, the sweet, caramel aroma was intoxicating! It smells and looks so new, delicious, and fresh! This is exactly what I needed today as I am preparing for my specialty board exam. I am highly stressed, and this sugary, dessert tea is perfect. It isn't bitter at all, but it does well with sugar and milk. Delicious!

DEFINITION of 'Blockage Discount'
The difference between the market value of a security and its sale price when transacted under a block trade. Each blockage discount is negotiated by the involved institutional investors, which incorporates such factors as market liquidity and the size of the trade.
BREAKING DOWN 'Blockage Discount'
A block of securities will typically consist of 10,000 shares or debt securities valued over $200,000. Traders want to unload all of the securities quickly, but are often limited by market volume. To facilitate a fast exchange, a trader will sell the assets at a discount to another institutional investor.

JERUSALEM, Sept. 11 (UPI) -- Israel's defense minister said Sunday the government needed to revamp the way it was addressing the swirling political changes in the Middle East.
Ehud Barak called for a special Cabinet session to discuss what he called Israel's growing political isolation amid ongoing changes in Egypt and Turkey.
"There is a wide picture forming around us that includes what happened with Turkey, what is happening with Egypt, and what is happening with the Palestinians," Barak told his fellow ministers. "These are events that are not in our control, but we can certainly affect the way we face them."
Barak said Israel also needed to quickly shore up its relationships in Europe and with the United States ahead of a controversial move at the United Nations to elevate the status of the Palestinians.
"We have before us reports from the Foreign Ministry, the Mossad, the Shin Bet security service and the military intelligence, and we should at least hold an extensive Cabinet meeting about it," said Barak.
There was no immediate response to the proposal, Haaretz reported, but Prime Minister Binyamin Netenyahu Sunday condemned the weekend violent demonstration at the Israeli Embassy in Cairo and praised moderate leaders of the new Egyptian government.

Standing above a crowd of protestors outside the Lloyd George Federal Building, 18-year-old Claudia Anaya was mid-sentence when she suddenly began to cry.
For a moment, the crowd that had previously been shouting through bullhorns and eliciting honks from passing motorists fell silent.
Gathering herself, Anaya brought the bullhorn speaker to her mouth and finished her sentence.
"This hurts so much inside. I've been fighting so hard for this," she said. "We need this now. Don't let people stay home. We need to fill this whole street up with everybody."
Anaya was one of the 50 students and activists who marched from the Las Vegas Academy to the federal building Tuesday to voice their frustration toward Republican politicians who refused debate on the DREAM Act and the repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy regarding gays in the military.
The DREAM Act would offer citizenship for illegal immigrants who entered the country as children and enroll in college or enlist in the military. The act, as well as a proposed repeal to the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy that bans homosexuals from openly serving in the military, were amendments to the military spending bill that was shot down Tuesday by Republicans.
Anaya, who was born in Mexico and came to America as a child, was directly impacted by Tuesday's vote against the defense bill. She had hopes of attending UNLV on scholarship but now won't be able to.
"We finally had something. We could have done something about it, but it was just shut down," she said. "My heart sinks. I told my mom I thought this would go through; we were doing so much."
Michael Flores, an activist with the Las Vegas-based Progress NowNevada, Vincenta Montoya, an immigration attorney, and Isaac Barron, a high school teacher, organized the rally. They had originally planned to use the demonstration as a public demand for the passage of the DREAM Act.
But after news of the Senate's derailing of the bill and its included amendments, the rally took on a new shape: Thanking those who helped the cause and demanding that the DREAM Act not become a standalone bill.
"If the DREAM act is a standalone bill, it dies. It's not going anywhere," Montoya said.
Flores said he was "disheartened" after watching the Senate action on C-SPAN. He said his hope for the passage of the bill began to dissipate after Sen. John McCain spoke out against the included amendments.
"I knew we were in trouble," Flores said.
Montoya voiced her disapproval of Senate Republicans while commending Sen. Harry Reid for trying to pass the DREAM Act.
"He literally was putting his career on the line," she said. "Election day is coming soon, and we are not going to forget who helped us and who did not help us."
At about 4:15 p.m., the crowd proceeded up and down Las Vegas Boulevard, between Bridger and Clark avenues, with homemade signs and an American flag . The demonstrators shouted, "Together. United. We'll never be divided" and "Ensign. Escuchas. Estamos en la lucha," roughly translating to, "Ensign. Listen. We're in the fight."
Sen. John Ensign was one of the senators who voted against passage of the defense bill.
Near the end of the rally, Flores, Montoya and others spoke, encouraging the crowd to call their senators and demand that action be taken on the DREAM Act and "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
A Spanish teacher from the West Career and Technical Academy, Elizabeth Campbell, said many of her students would benefit from passage of the DREAM Act.
"When you think about kids who have been here five years or more, they don't have a life to go back to anywhere else," Campbell said. "We've already invested thousands of dollars in these kids' education; let them work. Let them pay back. They're American."

Tags: DNS changer, IP address
As reported in March, the FBI has uncovered a network of rogue DNS servers and has taken steps to disable them. DNS (Domain Name System) is an Internet service that converts user-friendly domain names into the numerical Internet protocol (IP) addresses that computers use to talk to each other.
When you enter a domain name, such as www.fbi.gov, in your browser address bar, your computer contacts DNS servers to determine the IP address for the website. Your computer then uses this IP address to locate and connect to the website.
DNSChanger is malicious software created by cybercriminals to redirect the Internet traffic of millions of unsuspecting users to websites where the thieves have profited from advertisements. All computers still infected with DNSChanger malware will no longer be able to access websites, email, chat, or social networking sites like Facebook after July 9th.
Most of us will have a difficult time manually changing these settings on our own. To help with this, McAfee has released a free tool to you find out if you are infected or not.
To see if you are infected with the DNSChanger virus visit http://www.siteadvisor.com/dns_checker.html then click on the "Check Now" button. If your computer is fine, you will receive a green check message and if your computer is infected you will see a red X mark. You can then download a free update to clean up your PC and restore your Internet settings.
It is quite possible that if your computer is infected with this malware, it may also be infected with other malware. To protect yourself you should:
Make sure your PC has comprehensive protection with antivirus, antispyware, anti-phishing, antispam and a firewall
Set up regular updates of your operating system so you get critical security patches and keep your browser updated too
Be cautious of clicking links in the body of an email

If you feel that you've run out of ideas to make your photowalks, shoots, and projects unique and interesting, today's featured awesome album will surely inspire and fill you with creative ideas!
Self-portraits can be bland, boring, unimaginative, and unoriginal, but the ones you're about to flip through are certainly not. Our fellow lomographer lostlittlekid from Manchester, United Kingdom came up with a simple yet awesome way to spice up his selfies — it's so good, in fact, that we could only scratch our heads and say, "why didn't I think of that?" Who would have thought that something as simple as a silver ball could create impressive selfies, the effect almost fisheye-like? In many of his photos, which were taken using a Pentax P30N / P3N loaded with Kodak Gold 400, it's almost like he has his world in his hands!
Done browsing through this awesome album? Now, join us as we clap our hands and say, "Well done, mate. Well done!"
The Awesome Albums series is exactly what it says on the tin — it's a love letter of sorts from the Editors addressed to user-uploaded albums that had caught their eye and had inadvertently fallen in love with.

Digital technology can make life easier for the dental professional provided basic steps are taken to allow for data protection requirements. The image captured in the process of taking the shade of a patient's tooth is personal data and forms part of their dental record, so before sharing this data with a dental laboratory there must be a registered data controller at the laboratory as well as within the practice.
The image of the teeth alone will not be easily identifiable; so provided you have sought the patients' agreement to sharing their data with a dental laboratory in this way, you can go ahead.
Before sharing the image with the laboratory, it should be uploaded to the patient's record on the practice computer system prior to deleting the file from your phone. The picture can then be securely emailed from the practice computer with any other details required by the laboratory. The security of the patient data on your practice computer is already subject to the precautions required by the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA). The same legislation applies to the dental technician's laboratory.
If you happen to share data with your other devices using the Cloud you will need to turn off this storage system before taking the patient's picture or eliminate the file from those linked locations.
Key points
The following is taken from the ICO summary following review of dental practice and dated September 2015:
From a risk management perspective, you should look for ease of printing all relevant patient record information, ideally with a single click. Many current computer systems do not easily print out the whole record. It is also important to be able to print out historical information, such as earlier dental charts and periodontal records.
Many systems currently only print out the most recent chart. As well as the accurate chronological reproducibility of the complete patient record you might also want to consider the ability to print out individual patient treatment plan summaries and pricing that can be offered to the patient to sign at the time of the initial examination.
In addition the system needs to back up to a remote site to ensure data can be restored following an unexpected system failure or service interruption.

If you're looking for a good bottle of rosé to go into your picnic basket or to serve at your backyard summer barbecue, bypass the wines that beckon with deep rich pink hues and opt for bottles that hail from Provence, Bordeaux or the Sancerre region.
Because in a recently held blind tasting of blushing wines in London, Bordeaux and Sancerre rosés held their own against the wines from Provence, the traditional epicenter of pink wine-making in the southeast part of France.
Another finding out of the tasting: understated, pale-colored rosés outperformed the darker-hued offerings which tended to be jammier and cloyingly sweet, reported trade publication Tizwine.com. The more successful wines boasted complexity, freshness, elegance and vinosity.
Organized by Richard Bampfield, who holds one of the top wine designations in the world, Master of Wine, the tasting involved wine merchants and members of the press taste testing 20 bottles that spanned the world, from Corsica to Barossa.
Generally, European wines also scored more highly than those from the New World, with Sancerre and Bordeaux sharing the top spots with rosés from Provence.
The top three rosés in the tasting were:
Chateau Leoube's Secret de Leoube 2012 - Provence
Chateau Brown 2012 - Bordeaux
Domaine Ott Clos Mireille 2012 - Provence
Meanwhile, with summer in full swing, rosé has become wildly popular as a thirst quencher for its fresh and fruity notes. According to Vins de Provence, which represents winemakers in the region, Provence rosés are characterized by their light, fruity, smooth, lively and aromatic notes.
Strong food pairings include (naturally) Provencal dishes such as ratatouille, sea bass with fennel, aioli, and bouillabaisse, and also stand up well to sea urchin, sushi, Thai dishes, tajine and Indian curry.
Rosé should be served chilled at between 8 to 10 C.
Food and Wine magazine also offers its take on the best rosé wines for under $15 at foodandwine.com.

Robert Silvers
Charles McGrath reports on a question that literary journalists and editors have been asking for years: Who will replace Robert Silvers as the editor of the New York Review of Books? The answer probably won't be coming anytime soon: According to Silvers, the question of who will succeed him is "not one that is presenting itself."
The recent fact/fiction/journalism debates have focused mostly on John D'Agata's book About a Mountain, but it also hit radio waves last week after it was revealed that This American Life's most popular episode ever—about the conditions of workers at an Apple factory in China—was partially fabricated by its creator, monologist Mike Daisey. TAL dedicated an entire episode to retracting the story on Sunday, and host Ira Glass apologized in a statement: "Daisey lied to me and to This American Life producer Brian Reed during the fact checking we did on the story," Glass said. "That doesn't excuse the fact that we never should've put this on the air. In the end, this was our mistake." Daisey, who is currently starring in the one-man show "The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs," took a more mealy-mouthed approach: "This American Life is essentially a journalistic—not a theatrical—enterprise, and as such it operates under a different set of rules and expectations," Daisey wrote. "For this reason, I regret that I allowed This American Life to air an excerpt from my monologue. What I do is not journalism."

Before there was John D'Agata, there was Truman Capote. Jack Shafer writes: "Both love 'real' facts, but when blocked by journalistic convention from the literary effects they desire, they willingly leapt that fence to create whatever rules they needed to enhance their work." The difference between them, however, is that while Capote steadfastly resisted suggestions that some of his journalism was fictionalized (despite ample evidence to the contrary), D'Agata is up front about blurring genres, and gets around the problem of fact-bending by calling himself an "essayist."

The Huffington Post looked at books published by a handful of literary publishing houses—Knopf, Crown; Little, Brown; and Farrar, Strauss and Giroux—and found that "the gender ratios of books published by these imprints are in a few cases almost identical to those of the publications cited in Vida's survey."

The portal, which is open to RH authors, "allows access to weekly consumer purchase data, as well as copies shipped into the marketplace over the last 10 years, broken [down] by sales channel and publishing format." Unless you're a best-seller, it sounds like torture...
Chris Hughes
Twenty-eight-year-old Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes has just bought The New Republic, and has assumed the dual role of the magazine's publisher and editor-in-chief. Hughes plans to bring the ninety-eight-year-old magazine into the digital age, the New York Times reports, and wants to focus on "distributing the magazine's long-form journalism through tablet computers like the iPad."
Gawker chief Nick Denton has a new approach to the "problem" of nasty online comments, he announced today during a panel at South by Southwest. Gawker commenters are notoriously snarky, and reining in "hateful behavior" has long been a problem for the site. But the "core of the Gawker idea that we're building," Denton said of the new and improved site, which is to be introduced in six weeks, "is that everyone owns the thread they start."
At the National Book Critics Circle ceremony last Thursday night, author Daniel Mendelsohn presented New York Review of Books editor Robert Silvers with an Ivan Sandrof Lifetime Achievement Award. Pointing out Silvers's intense devotion to the magazine, he recalled how the editor once tracked him down on a boat, in the middle of the ocean, to discuss a semicolon.
Jonathan Franzen, Jhumpa Lahiri, and Michael Chabon have just been named to the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

At Flavorwire, novelist Adam Wilson—author of the bleak suburban comedy Flatscreen—picks the top ten slacker novels, including Iris Owen's After Claude, Sam Lipsyte's Home Land, and the New Testament. In Wilson's view, Jesus was not just a fictional character but also the first literary slacker: "He drank a lot of wine and never wore pants; he was into holistic healing; he could be preachy and moralistic, but was a good guy deep down. And to think they strung him up for it. Society's attitude toward slackers hasn't softened much."

James Atlas
Amazon has hired James Atlas—who wrote the definitive biography of Saul Bellow—to edit a new series of biographies called Amazon Lives, with titles scheduled to start appearing in June 2013. Amazon has been steadily preparing to become a powerful publishing presence. The company is clearly set up to sell its own titles online, but how do you sell books published by Amazon in the competition's bookstores (in Barnes and Nobles, for example)? You change the publisher's name from Amazon Books to New Harvest Books, and you distribute them through another publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.
Home Depot has announced that it will stop selling books. The news—for us, at least—was that Home Depot sold books in the first place.

Jonathan Franzen recently called Twitter "unspeakably irritating" spawning the hashtag #JonathanFranzenHates, and inspiring htmlgiant's Roxane Gay to write a convincing argument for Twitter (or for doing what you want to do, as long as you do it with passion). Still, Franzen's not a total technophobe. In a 2011 address to graduating students at Kenyon College (to be published in the forthcoming essay collection Farther Away), he waxed poetic about the beauty of his BlackBerry Bold: "I [want] to keep fondling my new Bold and experiencing the marvelous clarity of its screen, the silky action of its tiny track pad, the shocking speed of its responses, the beguiling elegance of its graphics." (True to form, he went on to complain about the "Like" button on Facebook.)
Publishers Weekly has crunched the numbers and found that the average length of a book is 64,000 words.
The National Book Critics Circle will hold its annual awards ceremony on Thursday evening. Tonight at the New School, they'll gear up with a reading by the finalists, who include John Jeremiah Sullivan, Forest Gander, Jeffrey Eugenides, and Dana Spiotta.

EA allegedly considering two ways of re-introducing microtransactions into Star Wars Battlefront 2; Details
Nov 17, 2017 | 27 Comments
There's this one awful stock song somewhere on the internet, with these horrible descending chime noises. I know because I've heard it like a million times before, since it's sitting in one of those stock music databases, and every amateur YouTube video creator seems to use it at some point. Somehow, I expected better of internet funny guys Mega64, who have used the track as some sort of horrific rap beat for their Just Dance 3 "Dancemas" video. The result is an unlistenable mess of terrifying proportions, which you can check out below.
Keep it classy guys.

Laughing matter ... Kristen Schaal. Photograph: Murdo Macleod
The nominations are in and it appears that the clouds have lifted. After two years in which the if.comedy award was won by "dark" and "edgy" comics - Phil Nichol with his show The Naked Racist in 2006 and, last year, Brendon Burns's So I Suppose THIS Is Offensive Now - this year's shortlist is comprised of a far cheerier bunch.
David O'Doherty leads the way, his musical comedy having the air of whimsy but the applied technique of a proper artist. Rhod Gilbert may be miserable about the disappointments of modern life, but the main target of his ire is a mince pie. Russell Kane, meanwhile, has political inclinations but a keen eye for the absurd, while the American double act of Kristen Schaal and Kurt Braunohler thrives thanks in part to an innocent air of sexual tension.
In the newcomer category, too, we find Sarah Millican, praised by the judges for her "outstanding command of the audience", who calls her show Not Nice to offset the fact that she obviously is. Character comic Pippa Evans and standup Mike Wozniak round out the list, and are both themselves charmingly offbeat.
Enough musing though, it's time for your opinions on the matter. One final thought though: there's one less nominee in the main list than the last two years - good sign or bad?

While we offered you a fun look for less for Rita Ora's Parm restaurant ensemble, it seems Jay-Z's new artist was actually rocking the same $1,181 Trapstar Electric Blue Lamb Leather Studded Jacket Angela Simmons was spied in last December:
While Rita complemented the azure topper with a gray shirt, semi sheer maxi, and red accents, Angela went for casual in a t-shirt and jeans with a Louis Vuitton bag and stiletto boots.
The jacket has shoulder stud details and a leopard print interior:
Who wore it better?

Tennessee phasing out 'jock tax,' but NBA players visiting Memphis will pay through 2016
The governor of Tennessee recently signed into law a repeal of the so-called jock tax that taxed NHL and NBA players as much as $7,500 a year when they played games in Nashville and Memphis.
The NHL Players' Association and the National Basketball Players Association both lobbied to repeal the Professional Privilege Tax for Professional Athletes, which taxed NBA and NHL players who played games in the state $2,500 a game with an annual cap of $7,500. The Tennessee Legislature approved the bill to repeal the tax in April, and Gov. Bill Haslam signed the bill into law last month.
The Nashville Predators, along with the NHL and the NHLPA, fought the $2,500-a-game tax on visiting players.

The tax, which went into effect in 2009, was unusual in that the money from NBA and NHL players playing the Tennessee clubs, the Grizzlies and Predators, went to the owners of those clubs, with the idea that they could use it to bring events to their arenas. NFL players who played the Tennessee Titans were not subject to the tax.
For NHL players, the repeal of the tax is effective immediately, but for NBA players, the tax will remain in effect until June 1, 2016. The reason NHL players are getting immediate relief and NBA players are not is that the Grizzlies opposed the bill while the Predators did not.
"The Nashville Predators and the NHL joined the NHLPA in supporting immediate repeal of the bill," said Ron Klempner, NBPA acting executive director. "The Memphis Grizzlies, on the other hand, aggressively fought and lobbied against repeal. The two-year phase-out is the Legislature's compromise. It was the only way the Legislature would support repeal."
The 2013 NHL collective-bargaining agreement contained in it a provision in which the NHL agreed to work to repeal such taxes on NHL players.
Jason Wexler, chief operating officer of the Grizzlies and FedEx Forum, has said the tax served as an economic development incentive that benefited the residents of Tennessee because it was used to help attract high-profile music acts such as Elton John, Paul McCartney and the Eagles to the Memphis arena.
Last week, Wexler wrote in an email: "On behalf of FedExForum, the Grizzlies worked closely with state legislators in crafting the two-year sunset provision on the Athlete's Privilege Tax as it relates to FedExForum. The Privilege Tax remains an important economic development incentive that helps FedExForum create jobs and revenue for Memphis and Shelby County. The sunset provision provides a window to transition on that front."
NHL and NBA players union officials, however, said the tax was discriminatory. "We are obviously pleased that the correct decision was made by the state of Tennessee to repeal a tax that unfairly targeted NHL and NBA players," NHLPA Executive Director Don Fehr said.
Taxes targeting professional athletes have been around since at least the early 1990s, said Robert Raiola, who advises more than 100 athletes in the four major North American team sports as senior manager of the sports and entertainment group of O'Connor Davies. Raiola said he is aware of such taxes in 22 states and 10 cities in the United States.
"What made this tax different is every player paid a flat rate whether they were making the league minimum or $10 million year," he said. "The other thing that was different is the money went to the owners who owned the teams."
The repeal bill was sponsored by Tennessee state Sen. Jack Johnson, a Republican.
"Sen. Johnson decided to repeal the law because he felt it was an inappropriate use of the state tax authority, because the state would not get the benefit of the tax money; it was going back directly to the teams," said Luke Gustafson, spokesman for Johnson.

Predeployment Guide | Predeployment / General
Being separated from family and friends is never easy, but the Predeployment Guide provided here can make it a more bearable experience for you. The PreDeployment Guide will answer your questions on deployment as well as the reunion of friends and family. Please select from the following categories.
Introduction/ Background Information
This guide was created to assist military members and their families in preparing for and coping with separations caused by contingencies, extended TDYs, remote assignments, and natural disasters.
Predeployment/ General
As a member of an active duty unit with potential for world-wide deployment on short notice, the following information will aid in making a family separation more manageable.
Too often, family members deny the possibility of duty separation, and pretend it is not going to happen. This denial can be emotionally harmful. Once separation occurs, they are likely to find themselves unprepared. It is much healthier for families to face issues directly and become better prepared to positively address the life style changes brought about by separation. Adequate preparation for all family members is the key to minimizing the problems which will inevitably arise during a duty separation. Sometimes families avoid talking about things which bother or worry them. They are afraid that talking about things will make matters worse. In reality, open discussion provides family members the opportunity to clarify potential misunderstandings, get a better idea of what is expected, work out solutions to identified problems, and to better prepare themselves for the coming separation.
Having a sense of control over events is a significant moderator of the stress associated with separation. We all desire some sense of control even in the face of uncontrollable situations. Feeling no control over a situation can lead to characteristics of learned helplessness. The perception of even some control can be enough to lessen most negative responses and become a base for building positive coping behaviors. An individual's appraisal of upcoming events as being highly stressful or undesirable but manageable will significantly influence their coping level. That appraisal is related to the degree to which individuals feel that they have adequate knowledge, coping skills, social support, and some control over future events. Preparation for coming events, especially undesirable events, can greatly alter a person's attitude. Therefore, the importance of education and preparation cannot be overstated. To be forewarned is to be forearmed.
Single parents and dual career military couples face the same reality. They may experience even greater stress and responsibility during preparation of the separation. No other "parent" remains at home and, therefore, separation takes on an increasingly stressful dimension.
There is a difference between being ready "to go," and ready "to part." Being ready "to go" means having your duffel bag packed, all shots up to date, and other duty essential preparations completed. Being ready "to part" from your spouse and other family members means being aware of the personal and family issues related to separation, and being prepared to deal as constructively as possible with those issues.
Plan ahead. This is one of the keys to a successful family separation. There are many things you can do before you leave. This will prevent your spouse from feeling they have to handle it all alone and you from worrying about all the things left undone.
The best place to start is at an assignment or predeployment briefing. Topics discussed are informative ranging from an unclassified intelligence briefing to whom to contact if your allotment or pay check is late. It will also provide you and your spouse invaluable information about services available through your Airman & Family Readiness Center and other base agencies.
Then, read this guide. Mark or highlight passages you find particularly interesting or helpful. Some parts you may want to re-read or post on the refrigerator just in case an emergency occurs and you don't have time to find the page you need.
Spend an evening with your spouse to discuss the assignment or deployment, how both of you feel, what you worry about, how to handle emergencies, or repair problems, and what you think needs to be done around the house to get things together.
Have a "show and tell" day. Even if it is the dead of winter, learn how to start and operate the lawn mower. Ask your spouse to show you how to check the oil in the car and where to add brake fluid and transmission fluid. Do you know how much air goes into the tires? How to change a flat tire? Learn these things BEFORE your spouse departs on an assignment or deployment.
When the departing spouse is the person who usually does the laundry, cooking, etc., be sure you are comfortable with the appliances within your home. Do a load of laundry. Learning how to sort clothes may save the family from having to wear strange colored underwear. If you are not familiar with commissary shopping and cooking, plan a dinner, make your own shopping list, then prepare a meal for your spouse or family.
Use the various checklists and tools found in this booklet.
Finally, before departing, make sure the remaining spouse is the one with the keys and checkbook.
So much will depend on your advance preparation. The more you can learn and accomplish before the family separation, the more confident both of you will be when the parting time comes.
Remember, Plan Ahead!
Deployment and the Single Service Member
While the majority of the information in this guide deals with separation issues involving couples, deployments or extended TDYs can be just as demanding for the single military member. Not only will you experience all the emotions and relationship stresses discussed in this guide; you have the added burden of finding a reliable individual to handle your personal affairs during your absence. The importance of a will and power of attorney is just as critical for single members as it is for their married counterparts. Please take time to go through this guide. You will find it helpful.
A Military Spouse's Viewpoint
For many spouses, when the separation finally occurs, for many spouses this is a reality check. Until now there was the possibility of a change in orders or some other eventuality to prevent departure. But the separation is inevitable, and the spouse must cope.
When your spouse leaves or deploys, a piece of you goes too, but that's what you want...for part of you to be with your spouse. You find that you, too, keep your spouse present with you. You may sleep with their picture on your nightstand, or you may leave a pair of their shoes by the front door.
When your spouse leaves, you go through a whole series of different emotions. About six to eight weeks before your spouse leaves you begin to "psyche up" for the departure, and you both get very busy thinking about details that need to be tended to before departure. You both may feel excited, intimidated, and maybe a little worried about how you will manage. About three to four weeks before your spouse leaves, you begin to put distance between the two of you, build a few walls, maybe withdrawing from each other. You may become irritated with each other and you may even have a fight. This distancing reaches a peak about two to three days before your spouse leaves when you both think they should be gone so that you both can begin counting down to the reunion...which may seem an eternity away! This "distancing" is normal and allows you to permit this person who is so very important to you to go away...for a while.
When "THE DAY" arrives you may drive your spouse to the base and be thinking that some way, something, somehow will keep them home. Whatever you say to each other may seem awkward and not quite right, and afterward, when you reflect on not seeing each other for a long time, you may wonder why you couldn't have been more romantic, or have given a "warmer" good-bye.
For the first day or so after your spouse leaves, you may feel like a robot, just going through the motions, almost like you are in shock. You might just want to stay home. You may not want anyone around you. You may wonder if it was easy for your spouse to leave you, after all, your spouse seemed to be excited about going on assignment or deployment. You may feel overwhelmed by all the responsibilities you are facing. Then you may get angry with your spouse, with the Air Force, your spouses' commander or duty section, perhaps even with the whole world! How could your spouse leave?
You will get over that too, and find you can handle the separation. You'll probably find yourself within a few weeks beginning to settle into a pattern. If you don't find some comfortable pattern or routine and continue to feel upset, call your Airman & Family Readiness Center. They can give you information and or assistance to help you over this hurdle.
The new pattern of your life while your spouse is gone may find you a little more subdued, and certainly lonely. Sleep may come a little more easily than in the first few weeks of the separation, but probably not as easily as when your spouse is at home. Food may finally begin to taste less like sawdust. You may find from your spouse's letters that they are not angry with you, just lonely, and missing you.
Six to eight weeks before your spouse comes home, you may begin planning for the homecoming. There are decorations to make, and special meals to plan, and nagging worries:
As the time grows nearer, you will probably get more and more excited, may sleep less, and launch into a frenzy of house cleaning. In your mind you play over and over again various versions of the homecoming. You imagine...
You see the reunion in slow motion, over and over again, like in the movies; with sunlight and fields of flowers, and you two as the only people in the world.
In the last few days you seem to find yourself feeling many different emotions. Butterflies keep you awake at night. You should be happy that your spouse is returning , and you are, but you are also apprehensive. For the past months you have been the head of the house and you really haven't had to answer to anyone for where and when you go, or what you spend money on. You have had the bedroom all to yourself and you've taken care of the family's finances. Maybe you feel like your hard-earned independence is at stake. You are proud of surviving, and maybe even thriving while your spouse has been gone. You've missed your spouse terribly, but you've learned you can manage quite well while he/she is away.
The Big Day arrives and you've probably not slept well at all and you've spent hours trying to look your best. You finally have that reunion. There may be raindrops instead of sunlight, and instead of fields of flowers, there are fields of people at the hanger.
The hugs and kisses are every bit as good as you remember, and your spouse raves about how good you look and you tell your spouse they're a sight for sore eyes.
Your spouse tells you that they are proud of the way you kept the home fires burning, and it doesn't matter that you didn't save more money, and you want to believe your spouse, but there is something in their face, perhaps something in their voice.
Understand that your spouse too, is apprehensive about the homecoming, and they also want to be very, very right. They may be a little unsure and may wonder if maybe you have learned to do without them too well...perhaps they're not needed, or wanted anymore. You KNOW your spouse is wanted AND needed, and you should tell them that again and again!!
When you are back together again, take some quiet time to sit together, holding hands and talking about what happened. You need to listen to each other and you both need to talk. You have a thousand questions to ask, as does your spouse, and you both need reassurance that everything will be okay. Realize that you both have grown during your time apart and it is important for each of you to allow the other to have some space and time alone.
The time to reestablish old patterns and to establish new, better ones, takes several weeks; so don't expect to fall back into "How it was" overnight. Take time to enjoy the intense pleasure of reuniting as a couple.
Keep this in mind as you face a family separation:

Mabel (Full Body)
1Draw a circle and attach another curved line below to make a shape that looks like a kidney bean. This will serve as the head, and to help you determine the position of the face parts, draw a crossed line on it. Sketch an outline of the body below the head.
2Add the arms and legs.
3Using the crossed line as basis for proper positioning, draw two large circles with a dot on the center for the eyes. Sketch two slanted lines on each of the eyes for the eyelashes. Draw curved lines for the eyebrows, a C shape in between the eyes for the nose and a horizontal bean shape for the mouth with three squares inside for the braces.
4Draw Mabel's hair using long wavy curved lines. Don't forget the headband.
