Rahul Gandhi, Home Minister Shinde decline to meet US delegation
The diplomatic snub comes a day after Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar and National Security Advisor Shivshankar Menon cancelled their meetings separately with the visiting US delegation.
The NSA is known to have described the treatment meted out to Devyani Khobragade, India's deputy consul general in New York, as "despicable" and "barbaric", a source told IANS.
Khobragade was strip searched, confined in a cell with drug addicts and also subjected to DNA swabbing, sources confirmed to IANS.
Speaker Meira Kumar, herself a former Indian diplomat, declined to meet the US delegation, comprising Republican and Democrat members, "as a sign of displeasure" over the treatment meted out Khobragade.
Khobragade, one of India's senior diplomats in New York, was charged last week with visa fraud and making false statements.
She was accused by Manhattan's Indian American US Attorney Preet Bharara of visa fraud and exploiting her babysitter and housekeeper. She was handcuffed in public by law enforcement authorities in New York Thursday while she was dropping her daughter at school.
India has termed the treatment meted out to the envoy as "absolutely unacceptable". US Ambassador Nancy Powell was summoned to South Block by Foreign Secretary Sujatha Singh Dec 13 and a strong protest lodged over the treatment.

SYDNEY, April 14 (Reuters) - Dalian iron ore edged up from three-month lows on Friday as light holiday trade allowed markets a breather from mounting stocks and a deteriorating outlook for steel in the world's biggest user of the metal.
* Overnight iron ore for delivery to China's Qingdao port steadied after it fell to its lowest since last November on Wednesday. Iron ore for delivery to China's Qingdao port .IO62-CNO=MB traded at $68.68, according to Metal Bulletin.
* Iron ore on the Dalian Commodity Exchange climbed by 1.6 percent to 513.50 yuan ($75) a tonne. On Thursday it dropped to 495.50 yuan, the weakest since early January.
* The most active rebar on the Shanghai Futures Exchange rose by 2.3 percent to 2,990 yuan ($434) a tonne, after it fell to its weakest in more than two months on Thursday.
* China's 2017 export outlook brightened considerably on Thursday as it reported forecast-beating trade growth in March and as U.S. President Donald Trump softened his anti-China rhetoric in an abrupt policy shift.
* China's producer price inflation cooled for the first time in seven months in March, data showed this week, as iron ore and coal prices tumbled, pressured by fears that Chinese steel production is outweighing demand and threatening a glut of the metal later this year.
* The number of Americans filing for unemployment aid unexpectedly fell last week and consumer sentiment rose early this month amid continued optimism over household finances, suggesting a sharp slowdown in job growth in March was an aberration.
* Wall Street indexes fell along with U.S. Treasury yields on Thursday on safe-haven demand spurred by geopolitical worries, and the U.S. dollar rebounded after a sell-off following remarks by President Donald Trump on Wednesday was seen as an overreaction. * News that the United States dropped a massive bomb in eastern Afghanistan late on Thursday added to uncertainty.

115. I Apologize to Flavio Briatore…
I apologize to Flavio Briatore for an unkind sentence concerning a friend and a place that continues to define an era!
In one of my last posts I told you about my recent experiences in Porto Cervo. I read a rumor in some newspaper that the Billionaire would not reopen. What a shame that would have been… because the success of the Billionaire contributes so much to the success of the Emerald Coast.
The Billionaire continues a tradition of great summer fun started in the nineties with the mega-party organized by Eva Cavalli!
In front of the house we rented on the Emerald Coast were moored the most beautiful, stately yachts. Americans and Russians and others came from all over the world to holiday in Sardinia attracted by our "mega-party"!
Flavio was a special guest. It was during one of our parties that I introduced him to Heidi Klum, the glamorous German model with whom he shared such a romantic love story!
That beautiful golden throne in the Billionaire's VIP area has made history dedicated, as it was, to Naomi Campbell, the wonderful "Black Venus"!
I have such great memories and fine photos with Beyoncé and many other stars that were taken there. At the dinners that Flavio organized for all his friends I often sat next to him and his famous invited guests! Cipriani's cooking was excellent!
The Billionaire has, in fact, already reopened. All lovers of Sardinia, like me, feared the loss of a place that fills you with wonder, makes you love the summer and encourages the love of one person for another… with the beautiful music from the 60's that rejuvenates all…
Already people are talking about it. In a world clouded by crisis life in Porto Cervo is full of sunshine!
Flavio, may you stay open forever! I do not know where we would all spend our evenings without you… the beautiful music… the pleasure of finding old friends… the opportunity to recharge the batteries of imagination and creativity…!
Amici… I'll see you all in Sardinia!
Ciao e…

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Ryan Hunter-Reay became the first American to win the Indianapolis 500 since 2006, making a dramatic pass of Helio Castroneves on the final lap to win Sunday's race in the second-closest finish in history.
Hunter-Reay was passed for the lead with three laps remaining a year ago and went on to finish third. But after swapping the lead with Castroneves following a restart with six laps to go Sunday, it was the Andretti Autosport driver who made the final and decisive pass.
Castroneves finished second in his bid for his fourth Indy 500 victory. Marco Andretti was third and Carlos Munoz was fourth.
Kurt Busch finished sixth in the first leg of his bid to complete the Indy 500-Coca Cola 600 double. His quest to join Tony Stewart as the only other driver to complete the back-to-back races ended when his engine failed on lap 271 of the 400-lap NASCAR race.
CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — Defending Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson passed Matt Kenseth with nine laps to go and won the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday night for his first victory of the season.
Johnson was dominant at Charlotte Motor Speedway, winning the pole Thursday night and leading 165 of 400 laps in NASCAR's longest race. He won for the record seventh time at the track and 67th time overall.

From Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Bruce Norris (Clybourne Park, The Pain and the Itch) comes an epic play, featuring sixteen actors in fifty roles, examining the basic beliefs upon which we've built our economy and our country.
Set in the 18th century, this wild new work imagines America's first laissez-faire capitalist, a young man inspired by a chance encounter with Adam Smith to put his faith in the free market. But his path to riches becomes inextricably entangled with that of an educated slave, a man who knows from experience that one person's profit is another's loss, in this parable about the true cost of inequality.
Four-time Tony nominee and three-time Obie winner Michael Greif (Dear Evan Hansen, Next to Normal, Dogeaters) directs this richly imaginative, riotously funny new play about the imaginary lines between exploitation and opportunity.

Johnnie Lynn lasted only one year before the Eagles announced yesterday that he would no longer be part of Andy Reid's coaching staff.
The move leads to some questions about the rest of the staff, with the possibility of adding Steve Spagnuolo looming. Jeff McLane of the Inquirer does a good job of going over those questions in today's article.
Lynn was handed a talented group of cornerbacks as the Eagles made an offseason splash by signing Nnamdi Asomugha and trading for Dominique Rodgers-Cromaratie. But did the group improve at all from 2010?
Here's a look at where the pass defense ranked in several categories in 2010 and 2011. The first column is pass defense ranking from Football Outsiders. The other columns have rankings in parentheses.
|FO Ranking
|Opp. QB rating
|Comp. %
|80.8 (11th)
|57.6 (8th)
|7.0 (18th)
|31 (29th)
|23 (3rd)
|85.7 (19th)
|58.1 (10th)
|7.2 (16th)
|27 (24th)
|15 (17th)
As you can see, it's tough to find an area in which the Eagles' pass defense improved this season. Most of the numbers are similar to 2010. Last year, the defense gave up 54 big pass plays (20 yards or more). This year, it gave up 53. And keep in mind, the 2011 group had a better pass rush and Asomugha replacing Dimitri Patterson at right cornerback.
Last week, I wrote about individual performances of the cornerbacks. Asante Samuel had good numbers, although his tackling was a concern, and he benefited from some miscues by opposing offenses.
Asomugha will be remembered for the big plays he allowed. And Rodgers-Cromartie playing inside didn't work out. Eventually, Joselio Hanson replaced him in the slot, before Rodgers-Cromartie moved over to left cornerback when Samuel was injured.
And finally, a look at how the Eagles fared against specific types of receivers. Here's a look at their rankings the past two seasons, per Football Outsiders.
|No. 1 WR
|No. 2 WR
|Other WR
Interestingly enough, No. 2 wide receivers hurt the Eagles more in 2011 than in 2010. But the Birds improved significantly against opposing tight ends. Part of that can be attributed to the way they used Asomugha. Specifically against the Cowboys, he did a good job against Jason Witten.
And the Eagles continued to be terrible at covering opposing running backs, ranking 29th in the NFL. That speaks to linebacker play and scheme.
Personnel in the secondary could look different in 2012. Samuel could get traded. And the Eagles will have to make decisions at safety. Nate Allen came on at the end of the year, and this offseason will be critical for Jaiquawn Jarrett. Kurt Coleman will be in the mix too, and the Eagles could look to add a veteran.
Michael Zordich is still on the staff as secondary/safeties coach. In the coming weeks, we'll find out if he stays, and who replaces Lynn.

Our Cub and Webelos Scout programs have been developed to satisfy the requirements of the Boy Scout Council of the United States. Except where noted, all programs are available year round.
How long are your cub scout programs? most last 1 – 1.5 hours.
How much do your scout programs cost? Most cost $5.50 – $6.50 per participant. Minimum fee for most programs: $55. No fee for adults.
Can I purchase the pin there? Boy Scout pins and patches are not available for purchase, but we have ENC patches for sale in our gift shop.
How do I schedule?
1. Read the information on this page and decide on a program you'd like to do.
2. Check your calendar and the calendars of everyone else who will be coming BEFORE scheduling to avoid unnecessary rescheduling. Have a few preferred dates chosen. We prefer to schedule programs at least 2 months in advance. Please read our cancellation policy.
3. Call (949) 645-8489, email us or complete the online form below (scroll to the end of the page).
Can we bring siblings and parents? In order for the scouts to have the best scouting experience it is ideal for them to spend time together as a den w/o their siblings and parents – with just a leader and co-leader as chaperones. The den structure allows boys to build relationships with leaders and other boys. That said, if parents and siblings want to attend that is fine. If siblings participate then we just ask that you pay for them. The maximum number of children we can accommodate in a group is 20.
Tiger Cub Discover Nature Program (1st grade)
On a hike through the Center, scouts watch the weather and enjoy a scavenger hunt for nature items that begin with each letter of the alphabet. Scouts participate in a seed skit, and build a human tree to learn the role of seeds, roots, green leaves, bark and flowers in the life of plants. At the culmination of the hike, scouts make beautiful leaf rubbings to take home with them. The program satisfies 5f, 5d and 5g. It is 1 hour and costs $5.50 per scout.
Wolf Cub Outdoor Adventure (2nd grade)
On a hike through the Center, and in the Nature Museum, scouts observe ten different kinds of native birds. Along the trail scouts safely encounter poison oak, and discuss the dangers of poisonous plants and their importance in the ecosystem. On a tour of our green building, scouts learn about which items can be recycled, and how they can save energy. This program satisfies 7b, 7e, 10b, 13d, and 18g. It is 1 hour and costs $5.50 per scout.
Bear Cub Wildlife Wander (3rd grade)
On a hike through the Center, scouts learn about hummingbirds, their adaptations and how they live. The boys explore the Nature Center and discuss specific types of endangered and extinct animals. The ENC Naturalist shares what it's like to work in the conservation field. The program satisfies Achievement 5a, 5c, 5d, and 5e. It is 1 hour and costs $5.50 per scout.
Webelos Into the Woods Pin Program (4th – 6th grade)
Along the trail, scouts create a poster showing how a tree's growth rings tell its life history. Scouts observe the layers of the forest, from the herb layer to the canopy, then create a diagram to take home. Scouts learn to identify at least six species of trees, and six plants, and discover how those plants are used by both people and animals. Along the trail scouts will pause to discuss the drawbacks – and benefits – of wildfires. The scouts will also learn about the negative impact of non-native plants on the environment, and take home a native plant to care for. The program is 1.5 hours and costs $6.50 per scout.
Webelos Earth Rocks Pin Program (4th – 6th grade)
Scouts become junior geologists as they learn to differentiate between igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. They learn that these rocks are graded by a scale using a known scientific method. Along the trail scouts observe rocks and minerals found locally in Orange County, and discuss the uses of these non-renewable resources in a hands-on activity. They learn about and diagram ways that mountains and volcanoes are formed. Near "Fossil Ridge," scouts discuss the formation of fossils while exploring those present in boulders dating back 70 million years. Scouts learn how fossils are used to date formations. The program is 1.5 hours and costs $6.50 per scout.
Webelos Into the Wild Pin Program (4th – 6th grade)
Scouts explore the Center in search of birds. They discuss the things birds need to survive, including space to rest along the Pacific Flyway during migration. Along the trail the scouts safely encounter poison oak, and discuss the dangers and importance of poisonous plants and animals. During the hike scouts learn the roles of producers, consumers and decomposers. While the ENC is ethically opposed to collecting animals from the wild (as suggested by Into the Wild requirement # 1), scouts will observe the behaviors of wild animals in the Center, and meet one of our educational animals. Rather than set up an aquarium or terrarium and keep it for "at least a month" (as suggested by Into the Wild requirement # 2) the ENC Naturalist will talk with scouts about the responsibilities and long term commitment involved in keeping pets. Scouts will be able to cite ways that humans have changed the balance of Nature, and make a commitment to take at least one action to help protect the environment. The program is 1.5 hours and costs $6.50 per scout.
Cancellation Policy:If cancellations occur at least two weeks before the program, no fees apply. If cancellations occur within two weeks before the date of the program, the minimum fee for the scheduled program will be charged. Fees do not apply if cancellations occur due to inclement weather.

Putin has read the tea leaves and knows that his excellency has over reached on his own. He has been happy to have left our allies out in the cold and they have not forgotten: go ahead Odumbo, we are right behind you here, you just cannot see us. Meanwhile POSOTUS (thanks to made that one up) now has no clothes. Not only has he gone back on what he said to the people about needing congressional approval, he has gone on record saying we need to decommit in the mid east and in the world at large. This is what happens to a novice bettor who wins the first few bets he makes and doubles up feeling he is invincable. Putin is coming to collect the vig now.
Great flick.

This lightship is now a museum after many years service and is located in Swansea marina, South Wales.
Thanks for reminding me. The attached photo was taken near the entrance to the Stockholm harbor in May 2003 back in the old Canon S-40 days.

The castle should be on the lefthand side of the road if you're going the correct way to the bridge. Make a left onto the bridge and follow the road until you see "Lighthouse Road". Make a left onto lighthouse road and it will take you through a windy neighborhood to the lighthouse and museum. Probably about 3 or 4 miles away if you're interested.
Go in the morning, because the sun will be in the way in the evening...unless you want to use that effect. Hope this helps!
A little underexposed I know but I liked the shape! Smeaton Lighthouse, plymouth, UK.
Even though it might be a bit under exposed, I really like it a lot. Thanks for posting a great photo.

You may have heard that now is a good time to refinance your home. But what is refinancing?
Simply put, refinancing is the process of obtaining a new home loan that has better conditions than your current home loan. The proceeds of the new loan are used to pay off the balance of the original loan. Often, fees for the new mortgage are rolled into the new loan amount, so there is little or no out-of-pocket cost to the borrower.
Given the right conditions, a refinance can save a homeowner money if the new loan has a lower interest rate or a shorter term. Refinancing can also be used to convert an adjustable loan to a fixed loan or to consolidate debts.
Homeowners may seek to refinance for a number of reasons, such as to take advantage of lower interest rates, to reduce the size of their monthly payments or to trade an adjustable-rate mortgage for a fixed-rate one. The specifics of the process may vary depending on the actions of both the lender and the borrower.
Refinancing is not a silver bullet to solve all of your financial problems, however. As with any loan, there are closing costs and other fees to consider and you will still pay interest over the life of your loan. If your current loan is almost paid off or already has a low interest rate or favorable terms, you may be better off staying with your current loan.
In our next few blog posts, we will take a look at when you should consider refinancing, refinancing options, and the refinancing process. However, these are only general guidelines.

Hello friends! Nobody has posted here in a long time and that makes me sad. SIX YEARS ago, (wow!!!) Fiber Friday inspired me to start spinning, something that has become such an important part of my life! I seriously can't imagine what my life would be like if I didn't have this awesome skill. So the thought of the community here dwindling makes me sad. Seeing as I've recently been re-inspired to start spinning again after a looooong hiatus, I figured I would share a yarn that I really enjoyed spinning recently.
I took lots of pictures so I could have a start-to-finish photoset for my blog. I'm sure this isn't anything too exciting process-wise for you all, but I'll post them all anyway for the "yarn-porn" factor. The fiber is from Three Waters Farm which sells locally where I live. Yay local!
I'm a bit out of practice so this came out a little sloppy...but it knit up really nicely so that's all that matters! I spun it pretty low twist (so much so that it broke in a few spots while plying...oops...) so it's super fuzzy and soft. The colorway worked out magnificently for a Grey Gardens.

Days after reports about Amazon Canada offering Indian flag-themed doormats, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj lashed out at the e-tailer and threatened to rescind visas of officials of the e-commerce giant if it did not offer an "unconditional apology". Amazon's Canadian site has however removed listings for the doormats.
The doormat, sold by a third-party on Amazon's Canadian portal, appeared to have been taken down late on Wednesday. Searches failed to bring up the item, although the e-commerce giant did not confirm it had removed it. Amazon's portal in Canada sells doormats fashioned around other national flags, but under Indian law any desecration of its flag is punishable with fines and imprisonment. Amazon's official support account on Twitter had earlier responded to angry user comments on Twitter by saying the mats were not being sold on their Indian portal and the concerns had been escalated.
Amazon India did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment, while Amazon representatives in Canada and the United States were not immediately reachable for comment. Amazon is making a huge bet on India and has vowed to invest more than $5 billion as it takes on home-grown Flipkart and Snapdeal for a bigger share of the world's fastest growing internet services market.

Kim Kardashian is not looking to be the last person to pose nude for Playboy, despite yet another lie from a site that's been repeatedly caught telling fibs. Gossip Cop can exclusively correct this manufactured claim. Kardashian's own rep says the story is completely "false."
According to HollywoodLife, Kardashian will lose the baby weight after she gives birth to her and Kanye West's son at the end of the year, and then be the "last ever person" to do a naked spread for Playboy. Kardashian previously posed in the buff for the men's magazine in 2007. And as Gossip Cop reported earlier on Tuesday, come March 2016, Playboy will no longer publish photos of naked women in the magazine, citing that the business has changed and all sorts of nudity is now readily available on the Internet.
Of course, that news prompted HollywoodLies, as its commonly known, to seemingly fabricate its latest tall tale. The webloid naturally quotes an unnamed and presumably untraceable "source" as saying Kardashian has spoken to West about wanting to be the final female to pose nude in Playboy.
But it's NOT true, and it was all made-up by the untrustworthy site. A rep for Kardashian exclusively tells Gossip Cop the webloid's story is completely "false," and a Playboy insider also assures us the claim is "pure fantasy" and "untrue."
HollywoodLies has a rich history of publishing fabricated stories. Gossip Cop has busted the site numerous times for coming up with stories and scenarios that never prove to be true. Mark Gossip Cop's words: Despite the webloid's claims, North is not going to watch the birth of her brother; Kardashian is not going to wear Balmain and Versace as she gives birth; and the reality star is not going to make anti-aging cream out of her placenta. It's time HollywoodLife is held accountable for manufacturing fake stories and sources.

When this naive blonde chick squats down to take a leak outdoors and gets captured on covert camera you cannot see her face. However, there's plenty of other stuff to enjoy besides a nice stream of hot golden juice she launches, especially her beautiful ass with perfectly shaped curves and silky-smooth skin. Wow, what a muff it must be and what a pisser!
Unaware pissing chicks spycamed and published online at Piss Hunters!
It's the end of December and the winter is pretty cold in this part of the world, but it's not a problem for a honey who is desperate to urinate. She squats down outdoors and melts the snow between her legs with a hot and powerful stream of golden pee. Lucky we! She has totally no idea our guy was right behind her with a hidden camera. What a great ass and what a pissing experience!
Pissing caught on hidden cams inside and outside only at Piss Hunters!
Monica couldnt possibly look more adorable than she does in this hot picture gallery. Shes wearing a virginal white dress and sexy sheer panties that model her amazing pussy for us. The girl is gorgeous but she has to pee and its time to make a mess of things. The urine will come flowing from her snatch and out onto the floor. It will splash all over the sheer that covers the couch and all over her ass. It will make her look all wet and slippery and hopefully it will turn you on to watch it all unfold. Shes super hot so have fun.

This unaware amateur honey in sexy boots and black pantyhose is in an urgent need to urinate outdoorsand when she squats down on a warm autumn day with her back to the hidden camera she launches a perfect stream right down the ground. You gotta love the breathtaking ass close-ups we got with this sweet kitten peeing in the open. Our piss hunters got wholly lucky with this one!
Chicks in pantyhose spycamed taking a leak outdoors at Piss Hunters!
Rada has her long black hair in pigtails and shes wearing a short skirt and a flimsy top. She doesnt have much interest in staying clothed as she peels off her clothes as soon as the gallery begins. Of course, if shes going to give you the pissing fetish content you desire then shes going to have to get naked. She does just that and pisses into a cup on the floor, showing impressive aim and control over her flow. Whats she going to do with the piss now that its in the cup?
A girl gets her fill of cocks by engaging in a piss and fuck party with three male lovers. She receives a healthy dose of piss from all of their cocks in her mouth before getting pounded in her pussy and servicing the others orally while riding on top.

Just one week after taking up his position as CEO of Land Rover and Jaguar, former Ford Australia boss Geoff Polites has today undergone surgery in an Australian hospital to remove a potentially cancerous growth.
The respected Melbourne-born Ford executive who once quipped that his dream job would be to head up Jaguar was back in Australia visiting family and friends when he had a medical examination that revealed the growth on his upper colon, which doctors decided to remove immediately as they said it could be evidence of bowel cancer.
Polites was unavailable for comment but instructed company media representatives to relay information to journalists, while stressing the prognosis was very positive.
A spokesman for Fords Premier Automotive Group emphasised that the growth was caught very early and was not a concern for the doctor.
Its more of a precautionary measure, says Volvo and Jaguar public affairs manager Todd Hallenbeck. The doctor is very, very positive.
According to Hallenbeck, Polites said: the doctors were happy, and Im happy, but that we just decided to remove it (the lump) to be safe.
The potential medical scare means Polites will miss his first major public appearance as the chief of Jaguar and Land Rover, with the all-new XK coupe due to be revealed at next week's Frankfurt motor show.
However, he is expected to be back at work within weeks, where hell continue what is one of the biggest challenges of his professional life improving the prospects of Jaguar at what is a challenging time for the automotive industry; not only is Jaguar struggling against luxury rivals such as Mercedes and BMW but a slump in demand in the US has had wide-ranging implications, while rising fuel prices have created concerns.
However, Polites is renowned for accepting a challenge, having arrived as the president of Ford Australia in 1999 as the poor-selling AU Falcon was threatening the future of the company locally. He promptly turned that around and released the well-received BA Falcon in 2002 before overseeing the arrival of the highly-successful Territory wagon that instantly became the top-selling off-roader in Australia.
He also worked through challenging times at Ford of Europe, where for a year and a half he was vice president of marketing, sales and service.
Some industry pundits see Jaguar as one of Polites' biggest challenges yet, with disappointing sales and a brand image that many believe needs freshening.

Contact Info / Websites
As you can probably tell, I'm new. In which case, I feel the need to greet you all semi-warmly (as I'm not too warm a person) and ask you how you're feeling. Of course, as I just stated, I feel the need to greet you - and ask you of your emotions at this current moment in time;; that doesn't mean I'm going to. Well welcome you, to my page - and welcome me, to this site - and whatever. I'm in a bad mood at the moment. No real reason I'm just really tired.
I'll tell you something, though. When I first came to this site - it was actually to play hentai games - but lets ignore that - and pretend that it was my second and third times - and times from thereon. The reason I found the need to get out there - or here, rather - and make dancey/technoey/trancey music, is dimrain47. Amazing. So goddamn amazing. I like collabs - and I like people singing for me. I'd link you to my myspace - but that would take effort.

TheSpanishMain wrote:Hey all. So I know that the JAG selection rate hovers around 8% or so. Is there a consensus on what the selection rate is for people with prior service, assuming they had a good record of service?
I assume that a fair amount of applicants without any military experience get knocked off right in the beginning because they're medically unqualified, don't look like they can pass a PT test, can't get a security clearance, or just don't seem like they'll adjust well to the military.
I'm an Army Reserve (but with several years of active duty time)) captain with a deployment to Iraq under my belt, and while I'm not doing any ironmans, I can comfortably pass a PT test and have a TS//SCI clearance. I assume this would give me something of an inside track for JAG, but does anyone have any idea how much of a boost this is? Is it still an ultra long shot?
Other people might have better info, but this is what I've gathered based on seeing who gets selected and hearing stories from people close to or part of selection boards.
Prior military service can cut both ways. It's good in that it shows you can do what you need to do - stay in shape, acclimate to military life, be okay with deploying, lead others, etc.
Some problems can come up with it, though. Be sure to be able to sell why you want to change and/or why you left/are leaving the Army and/or your job there. A problem a lot of JAGs with prior service run into (at least in the AF - I assume it's similar in other branches, but I could be wrong) is that by the time you're a senior captain or a major, you are thrust into leadership positions. It's difficult getting much experience doing the job before you're actually having to run an office. A lot of captains with prior experience seem to be rushing to get in different experiences/training before they promote to major and/or have to start running a legal office. I don't know at what point a captain is too senior to switch over or if that's different for each branch.

It will be helpful to have a list of resources and learning materials to refer to at any stage.
As @rbrtsmith pointed out, it's good to refresh / improve you Javascript knowledge and skills before digging deeper into Node.js.
I find the "You don't know JS" series by Kyle Simpson a great read, easy to understand and suitable for any level, beginner or advanced.
Introduction to node.js - The Art of Node - https://t.co/fceY7dFBxb
Digging deeper - Practical Node.js - http://www.apress.com/9781430265955
Feel free to post resources here and I'll make a list we can refer to later on.

text: I have had a Dixie Chopper 72" cut with 32 HP Gas Generac Engine for just over 3 years. Only has 250 hours on it. I own a 100 acre farm with lots of grass to cut. I was using the mower last week to trim some pasture after the cows had eaten it down and I blew the engine. I had the mower for 3 years and 3 months and you guessed it-generac warrants them for 3 years. We are trying to see if dixie chopper/generac will stand behind the engine given the low hours of the machine. I was very faithful about maintenance (changing oil and filter regularly) and I had checked oil level before I took the machine out the day the engine blew. Well, I am wondering if the pasture was to much for the gasoline machine. It seemed to bog down the machine somewhat. I am considering buying the 35 HP Diesel Dixie Chopper 72" machine. I also have a Kubota compact excavator and I have been real impressed with the quality of the that machine. For that reason, I am considering the 31 HP Kubota zd331 Diesel 72" mower. Another plus is the Kubota is probably $3000 less money than the dixie chopper. The Kubota is a 31 HP Kubota diesel and the Dixie Chopper has a 35 HP Yanmar diesel. Because I felt the pasture was causing the 32 HP Gas Generac to bog down, I wonder if I will see a noticeable improvement in the Kubota in spite of it being less HP (31 HP). I have heard there is noticeable improvement in torque when moving to a diesel from a gasoline. Anybody else had any experience with a generac engine blowing with such low hours?

ATI Radeon HD 5670 - Jitter
Noob here. My system:
Dell Studio XPS 7100
Phenom II X6 1045T (2.7 GHz)
ATI Radeon HD 5670
6GB DDR3 SDRAM,1333MHz
Windows 7 Home Premium, 64bit
I am using dual monitors. One is a standard DVI monitor and the other is an HDMI connected projector. During HD playback I get considerable jitter. Scenes with movement are pretty tough to watch. I am a novice when it comes to settings on a graphics card / catalyst control center.
My main goal is smooth video playback for movie watching, even if it is at the expense of graphics resolution.
Please give me some tweaking advice!!

Are you using WMP?
If so, you may want to try VLC.

Media Player Classic but the jitter is on all video including youtube hd.
|My System Specs
|09 May 2011
I get jitter/jutter on the main monitor and projector. It seems to come when the processor runs. Then it stops. It is usually about 1 second and stops. It is not just on high motion sequences but also on still scenes. It always did it on just one monitor before I got the projector as well.
When I play a very high resolution file / youtube HD, it seems like the computer is struggling for brief instances and then it stops. I would love to know how to set the video card so that it doesn't do this.
I am running the latest k-lite codec pack / media player classic / all other programs are off.
My problem is there seem to be so many variables. Catalyst control center has so many settings that I feel like I need a pro to help me set it.
Any takers?

How much is too much sodium? Depends whom you ask.
According to the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans — based on the latest evidence from reliable research studies — more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium a day may be harmful to your health. People with high blood pressure (hypertension) should not exceed 1,500 mg of sodium daily, according to these newest guidelines.
Other experts don't necessarily agree — so what else is new? They point to studies that observed no direct link between higher intakes of sodium and a higher risk for heart attack. Furthermore, not everyone is sensitive to the blood pressure-raising effect of sodium; some people can eat tons of salt (well, maybe not that much) and their blood pressure stays normal.
You're not off the hook yet, though. Excess sodium can damage the body in other ways, according to new evidence reviewed by experts at the University of Delaware. It can damage the lining of blood vessels and contribute to "hardening of the arteries." Too much sodium can also weaken the heart and the kidneys, say researchers. Additionally — especially for people with diabetes and high blood pressure — excess sodium puts the squeeze on blood flowing through arteries and can increase the risk for stroke and other types of heart disease.
So for the sake of your arteries, let's say we want to cut back on sodium. Here's what we need to know:
- One teaspoon of salt contains 2,300 milligrams of sodium — the current recommended daily limit. So less salt-shaking is a good idea.
- Most of the sodium we consume does not come from the salt shaker, however. Three-fourths of the sodium in our collective American diet comes from restaurant meals and processed foods. Soups, sandwiches, chips, deli meats, it's in there.
- Start reading labels and compare the sodium content of your favorite foods. For reference, a food with less than 140 milligrams of sodium per serving is considered "low sodium" according to regulations.
- Replace high-sodium foods with those high in potassium. Experts say potassium-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, beans and low-fat dairy products help counteract the harmful effects of excess sodium.
- The taste for salt is an acquired taste; the more you use, the more you think you need. When you start to cut back, your taste buds adjust very nicely.
- By the way, there is very little difference in sodium content between the popular sea salt varieties and regular table salt. Although sea salt may have trace amounts of minerals like magnesium, potassium, and calcium, it is still salt — 40 percent sodium and 60 percent chloride.

Why defeat dragons when you can chill with them? Pool and spa retailers now have a new, inflatable outdoor furniture option that enables their customers to enjoy the outdoors both in or out of the water: the Chillbo Baggins.
"Our mission is to inspire more people to get outside and connect with the world!" the company says on its website. "We wanted to create a product that complements and enhances all the awesome places that you might find yourself."
RELATED: The Most Expensive Pool Float in the World
The Chillbo Baggins can seat one or two people and folds small enough to fit into a shoulder bag (which conveniently comes with the product), making it ideal for taking wherever your adventure takes you. Made from ripstop nylon, it's both durable and lightweight, at just 3 pounds (undeflated).
Better still, it doesn't require a pump to inflate. To fill, users can try the "scooping" technique, by scooping the lounger through the air and capturing the wind; or they can blow it up the good-old fashioned way. Worried about losing your chair to the wind? Chillbo has you covered — each unit comes with elastic anchor loops, making it easy to secure the lounger to the ground.
To learn more about the Chillbo Baggins, visit chillbobaggins.com.

You need two things: a can of tuna and a can of sweetcorn. Buy both on special offers and store them in your cupboard. They'll last a long time and they'll be there when you need a quick meal. It doesn't need anything else, tuna and sweetcorn come with their own juices but you can add some lemon juice if you like (and if you have it on hand). Lettuce is optional here, but if you have it, it goes well with the combo.
This is an easy "open the can and mix" budget meal.

I like Gush but some movies that I like which are not that famous, takes hundred years to download.

Reinstalling something you uninstalled in device manager?
So I was looking some stuff up on how to solve the Code 43 on the NVIDIA gpu(with the caution sign) where you get "You are not currently using a display attached to an NVIDIA GPU" and read that if you uninstalled it from device manager then clicked "Scan for hardware changes" on the topmost with your PC name it should reinstall it again and in most cases fix it, it didn't tho in my case and I would like to know how you can install it again? Was it a driver that I just uninstalled? If so do I just download the driver again?

Is it possible that its the game that affects the GPU? I haven't tried it yet on other games. If other games also result in crashes does this mean that my GPU is dead? Does that mean playing games on my laptop will be impossible as replacing the GPU on a laptop cant be done because as I've heard, GPU's on laptops are soldered.

What happened was compared to the former driver that crashed upon logging into the game less than a few seconds in, it now would keep working BUT I would get this every few seconds. Its like a mini crash every 30 seconds.
Its a bit better compared to the previous driver where I got pink squares and where the laptop refused to function altogether. Oh and not sure but this was my first try on windowed on the r331 driver, should I try windowed on my previous driver?

NFL review: New England Patriots beat Buffalo Bills and New York Jets win
The New England Patriots and the New York Jets needed late field goals on the opening weekend of the new NFL season.
By Paul Higham Twitter: @SkySportsPaulH
Last Updated: 11/09/13 3:07pm
The New England Patriots have won 24 of the last 26 against the Buffalo Bills but their 23-21 success was a nervy affair as they came from behind to win it courtesy of Stephen Gostkowski's field goal five seconds from the end.
Tom Brady threw a pair of touchdown passes to Julian Edelman as he became the ninth player in NFL history to pass for 45,000 yards, but he was also intercepted once and lost a fumble as the Bills hassled him all game long.
Buffalo's rookie quarterback EJ Manuel threw two touchdowns himself as he impressed, while Da'Norris Searcy ran back a fumble recovery 74 yards but it was all to no avail as the Bills suffered late heartbreak.
The New York Jets also won on a late field goal, as they beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 18-17 in dramatic fashion with rookie QB Geno Smith drawing a foul as he scampered for the sideline, enabling Nick Folk to boot the winning field goal.
John Freeman had thought he'd produced the game-winning drive with just 38 seconds left to play but Smith made an immediate statement in the Big Apple.
Peterson treble
Reigning MVP Peterson scored three TDs but poor play from his quarterback Christian Ponder meant that even he couldn't stop the Minnesota Vikings losing 34-24 against the Detroit Lions - who had new signing Reggie Bush as their star.
Bush scored one TD but also had two pulled back, but Joique Bell did find the end zone twice for the Lions who had three interceptions of Ponder.
The Cincinnati Bengals looked to have a comfortable 11-point lead at the Chicago Bears before the hosts came back to win 24-21 thanks to a Matt Forte run and a brilliant catch from Brandon Marshall from Jay Cutler's throw.
Receiver AJ Green has 162 yards and two touchdown catches for the Bengals, but Andy Dalton's two interceptions proved costly as Marc Trestman enjoyed a winning start as the new head coach of the Bears.
Andrew Luck started his second season brilliantly by throwing two TD passes and running in a third as the Indianapolis Colts beat Oakland Raiders 21-17. QB Terrelle Pryor ran for 112 yards in a promising display for Oakland.
New Chiefs
The Kansas City Chiefs started well under new coach Andy Reid as they battered the Jacksonville Jaguars 28-2 - only an early safety, after the Chiefs had a punt blocked, got the Jags on the board.
The Seattle Seahawks beat Carolina Panthers 12-7 but only after being severely tested by the home team - Russell Wilson's 43-yard TD pass to Jermaine Kearse claimed the hard-fought victory for the Seahawks.
It was a bad start to the season for the Pittsburgh Steelers as they lost 16-9 at home to the Tennessee Titans even after being given the perfect start by Darius Reynaud, who caught the opening kick-off but took it into the end zone for a safety.
The big-spending Miami Dolphins made a winning start to the season with a comfortable 23-10 win over the Cleveland Browns despite rushing for a total of just 20 yards. Trent Richardson managed just 47 yards himself for the Browns while QB Brandon Weedon threw three picks.
The Dallas Cowboys held off a late rally from the New York Giants 36-31. Eli Manning had led the fightback with four touchdown passes - including three to Victor Cruz - however Brandon Carr intercepted to seal the win for the Cowboys.
Greg Zuerlein's 48-yard field goal with 40 seconds left saw the St Louis Rams claim a 27-24 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Zuerlein landed four field goals in total, while Jared Cook had two touchdown catches on his debuts as the Rams overturned an 11-point deficit to win.
