Here are comparisons of
SynLube™ Lube‑4‑Life®
to "other" Brands of Synthetic Oils.
Mobil 1 is a brand name developed by the Mobil Oil Company and is now marketed by ExxonMobil.
The brand now includes semi-synthetic motor oils, oil filters, synthetic grease, transmission fluids, and gear lubricants
In 1970's while Multigrade Motor Oils were available, the majority of Motor Oil sold was SAE 30 Monograde with SAE 40 also being popular in hot climates and for older oil consuming engines.
The predominant oil change interval recommendation was "3-months or 3,000-miles", which ever occurs first.
The main idea behind "synthetic" Motor Oil was, that a single multi-grade Motor Oil can be used in all vehicles and in all climatic conditions, without frequent oil changes; this was the "Original Concept" behind the "1".
Meaning that ONLY ONE (1) Motor Oil will be needed for absolutely ALL Applications, anywhere !
Mobil oil Corporation was the first company to introduce lubricant based on PAO basestock chemistry.
In 1973 Mobil began marketing of synthetic motor oil for use in automotive engines in Europe.
Mobil 1 was first test marketed in USA in August of 1974 as a Multi-grade SAE 5W-20 viscosity "Synthesized Engine Lubricant".
After initial test marketing in few localities in USA, the test marketing was expanded to 8 major cities in September 1975.
The Mobil 1 was introduced nationally in USA in April 1976.
The initial version based on PAO basestock chemistry was advertised and promoted in 1976 as "The oil that saves you gas".
The SAE 5W-20 viscosity was about 32 years ahead of it's time as none of the 1970's engines were designed to utilize such low viscosity Motor Oil.
In 1977 Mobil Oil dropped the retail price from previously over US$5.00 per US Quart to
just US$3.95 and added 15,000-miles extended mileage use claim, which however
was limited to just one year.
And the advertising slogan now gained: "...saves you oil changes".
Further the product was now labeled as "Synthetic Motor Oil", as apparently very expensive market research in focus groups all over North America has shown that consumers on average did not have any clue what "Synthesized Engine Lubricant" was to be used for.
Also in 1977 Mobil 1 distribution was extended to Canada, Japan and additional countries in Western Europe.
Delvac 1, also PAO based Motor Oil, intended for heavy truck fleets was also introduced in 1977 in USA.
While Mobil Oil spent reportedly over $40 million in advertising and promotion of Mobil 1, the oil quickly developed reputation for high oil consumption, premature engine wear, and causing oil leaks in older engines.
Mobil Oil in response to these problems reformulated the Mobil 1 in 1980 into higher viscosities such as SAE 5W-30 and even SAE 15W-50 for "performance" vehicles.
This formulation was referred to as "Second Generation" was supplemented with Neopentyl Polyol Ester (PE).
The PE improved additive solubility and increased seal swell, thus combating the annoying oil leaks.
In 1981 for the First time Mobil 1 Motor Oil shows the SF-CC designation on the top of the oil can, but the Mobil 1 is NOT "API Licensed product" and does NOT feature the "API donut".
The PAO basestock formula also proved inadequate in keeping additives in suspension, so by 1984 the "100% Synthetic Motor Oil*" was "asterisked" on the "front" label; while fine print on "back label" revealed: "Exclusive of additive carrier oil ".
Now with the substantial addition of petroleum to keep the additives in suspension the extended mileage use claim was now extended to 25,000-miles,
which however was still limited to only one year.
It was also "asterisked" in all print advertising, with yet another disclaimer, that informed NEW and DIESEL car owners to follow the manufacturers recommended oil and filter change intervals.
Ever wondered why Mobil 1 was originally marketed in very nice shiny "chrome" looking all metal cans, while all the other oils were supplied in
cans made from "paraffin impregnated paper" with thin metal top and bottom plates ?
Well, the PAO was a very good solvent for paraffin and all the test marketing batches of Mobil 1 made back in 1974 leaked in just few weeks or days. The fail rate was 100%; eventually !
The use of such "fancy" all metal oil cans - which were so durable that they are still surviving in 2013 without any rust or leaks (and we do have few of them), was very very expensive. They were costly to make, and were not prone to cost reduction with volume increase, just the opposite the prices of the material have reportedly almost quadrupled since the first introduction of the Mobil 1 metal can. It was not just the metal can that was expensive, the printing of the "label" information directly onto the ultra smooth metal was both problematic and very expensive as well.
Mobil Oil also had another problem, after very optimistic projections for the sales of Mobil 1 have not materialized, Mobil Oil had excess unused capacity for PAO production. That is until someone at Mobil Oil got a really brilliant idea of how to use up all that unneeded PAO, that is make plastic bottles out of it !
This was then a very radical idea, that was perceived as "really stupid waste of rare chemicals" - to make a throw-away plastic bottle that would last up to hundred years in a land fill; well just "insane" !
But guess what, more than any influence of converting motorists to use "Synthetic Oil" in their engines, Mobil Oil has managed to forever change the oil packaging industry!
Of course today almost everywhere in the world all oils are sold in "plastic bottles and jugs"; thanks to Mobil 1.
So unintended consequence of slow adoption of "Synthetic Motor Oil" based on PAO for use in engines, resulted in 100% adoption of using plastics made with PAO for a packaging of technologically obsolete petroleum products. Without "really trying" - it universally succeeded, and is still "the way to do it"; till today.
The Mobil 1 in a round plastic bottle was introduced in 1985.
Also in 1985 Mobil Oil produced various advertisements that border lined on "truth" and implied what was an absolute fiction; such as the use of Mobil 1 in "Space Shuttle Engines".
In 1986 Mobil, only in Europe introduces Rally Formula Mobil 1 synthetic motor oil: SAE 5W-50
Mobil's synthetic piston engine oil was used in the historic Voyager lightweight aircraft flight in 1986.
In 1987 Mobil 1 for aircraft called Mobil AV
1 is now available commercially
in USA at all stations that sell Mobil Aviation Gasoline.
A one-quart "easy-pour" "sky-blue" bottle available as SAE 20W-50 Motor Oil sells for around US$5.
This "100% SYNTHETIC* PISTON ENGINE OIL" was also "asterisked" on the "front" label; while fine print on "back label" revealed: "Exclusive of additive carrier oil ".
In 1988 all the claims about extended mileage use of Mobil 1 and prolonging the oil drain intervals were gone from the back label as well as from all the print advertising.
In 1989 Mobil introduces Synthetic Gear Oil (GO) SAE 75W-90 and while devoid of the "asterisk" on the "front" label; fine print on "back label" revealed: "Exclusive of additive carrier oil ".
1989 also sees the change in the packaging and the "round"
bottle is now being replaced with the "easy-pour" bottle that was first used for the Mobil AV 1.
Now the "Formula" is being sold in these bottles, which are silver-gray in color. Any claims about extended mileage use of Mobil 1 and prolonging the oil drain intervals were gone from the back label as well as from all the print advertising.
In 1992 Mobil introduces Advanced Formula Mobil 1 motor oil: SAE 5W-30, 10W-30 and 15W-50
The most notable failure of Mobil 1 to protect engines that used leaded gasoline was in Aviation Piston Engine applications, where sludge build-up in engines and variable propellers is well documented.
As a result on June 10th, 1995 Mobil Oil announced that it had decided to permanently withdraw its Mobil AV 1 - 100% synthetic oil from the market, and was recalling existing stocks of AV 1 from its distributors.
In 1996 Mobil Oil started to give Mobil 1 to any interested Automobile OEM for FREE and even paid for costs of Engine Oil Cap with the Mobil 1 logo on it, as long as they agreed to permit use of their cars in Mobil 1 advertising campaigns.
PORSCHE, however initially ONLY in USA, was the First OEM to sign such agreement.
Also in 1996 Mobil Oil started their first publically accessible website: www.mobil.com
Since the merger with Mobil Oil in 1999, ExxonMobil markets the Mobil 1 Brand Lubricants.
In 1999 ExxonMobil introduces Mobil 1
"Tri-synthetic" version of their motor oil
The third "secret" ingredient was Alkylated Naphthalene (AN).
The FREE for all giveaway not just continued but intensified under ExxonMobil brand management of Mobil 1
Product that was previously unthinkable, such as Mobil 1 "semi-synthetic" Motor Oil was introduced in 2000.
This also in 2000 is followed by Mobil 1 SAE 0W-30 RACING Synthetic motor oil.
But for ExxonMobil having multitude of different viscosity grades (counting 7 by this time) was not enough !
The next additions were: Mobil 1 for "older cars"; Mobil 1 for SUV; Mobil 1 for V-twin Motorcycles; etc.
By 2000 most print advertisements were now almost totally devoid of any performance and durability claims, and only featured the FREE uses of Mobil 1 by various racing teams, and Automobile OEMs.
In 2002 Mobil 1 becomes a Synthetic motor oil with SuperSyn anti-wear technology.
Mobil 1 introduces "Extended Performance" Synthetic motor oil with 15,000 mile advertised service life.
Mobil 1 adds "disclaimers" onto the back label of "Extended Performance" Motor Oil with 15,000 mile advertised service life; and now advises users to follow the OEM oil drain intervals (same as for petroleum oil) on all vehicles under warranty.
In 2008 ExxonMobil introduces Mobil 1 High Mileage SAE 10W-30 Motor Oil for "older" cars.
Mobil 1 adds additional "disclaimers" for "Extended Performance" Motor Oil with 15,000 mile advertised service life; and as per information published on www.mobil1.com now requires users to change the motor oil at least once every 12 months.
This is the variety of Mobil 1 Motor Oils available in USA !
Remember the "Original Concept" ?
This for sure is a case of deja vu !!!
Proven protection for 1 full year*
*Or 20,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Introducing the once-a-year oil change. New Mobil 1 Annual Protection ultimate full synthetic motor oils feature breakthrough lubricant technology that provides protection for one year between oil changes or 20,000 miles, whichever comes first - guaranteed.**
** Please follow the recommendations in your owner's manual while your car is under warranty.
Apparently someone forgot that Mobil 1 had oil that lasted 25,000 miles way back in 1984 !!!
www.mobil1.com went on line in 2001, a website solely dedicated to the Mobil 1 brand, however its performance is rather surprisingly marginal as for example www.amsoil.com web traffic ratings are about 23 times better.
When you consider that ExxonMobil spends millions per month on advertising the web traffic to www.mobil1.com is surprisingly low!
As per available data from a reliable source visitors to the www.mobil1.com site spend approximately 25 seconds on each
page view and a total of 36 seconds on the site during each visit.
32% of visits to www.mobil1.com are referred by search engines.
The site has a bounce rate of roughly 72% (i.e., 72% of visits consist of only one page view).
Over the years Mobil 1 was reformulated many times and various sub-trademarks were used to reflect the "change", such as:
This is exact copy of current recommendation from Mobil 1 website:
Oil change intervals can be as short as 3,000 miles or as long as 15,000 miles on some new cars. We recommend that you follow the oil and filter change frequencies shown in your owner's manual.
With Mobil 1's high-performance reserves, you can have the confidence to go the full mileage or time frame recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Mobil 1 is especially suitable for the latest vehicles with extended drain intervals or vehicles with oil monitoring systems that vary oil drain intervals.
This is exact copy of current disclaimers listed on Mobil 1 website:
ExxonMobil offers two Limited Warranties:
For Mobil 1
For Mobil 1 Extended Performance
Realistically based on all the current recommendations and Warranty disclaimers from ExxonMobil related to Mobil 1 use, one should drain it as often as conventional petroleum motor oil.
Therefore the cost of using Mobil 1 is about 2 to 3 times higher per mile than the use of conventional petroleum oil.
With the exception of vehicle operation in extreme hot or cold climatic conditions, there are no apparent or proven advantages over petroleum motor oil.
While in 1974 Mobil 1 may have been the pioneer in the promotion of Synthetic Lubricants to the motoring public, today as part of ExxonMobil it is on par in performance with conventional current API service category oils, but at triple their price.
Mobil 1 Synthetic Oils currently cost over $6 per U.S. Quart and up to $10 per U.S. Quart.
For current Retail Prices for Mobil 1 Motor Oil see our dedicated web page:
Synthetic Oil Prices in USA
Each Motor Oil Change generates 4 to 6 Quarts of Used Motor Oil and 1 Used Oil Filter!
Over the useful life of most vehicles about one Drum (55 gallons) of Dangerous Used Motor Oil are generated, which need to be disposed of properly. In many States in USA Used Motor Oil is classified as "Hazardous Waste".
ExxonMobil does not offer any collection or reprocessing for Mobil 1 and therefore it must be disposed of in the same way as conventional petroleum motor oil.
Use of Mobil 1 therefore does not offer any environmental benefit over the use of conventional petroleum motor oil.
Since about 1990 all bottles of Mobil 1 products have following WARNING on them:
In USA 4% of consumers use
Synthetic oil in over 9 million vehicles
(60% of them use Mobil 1, as per ExxonMobil claim)
to $105 per oil change
$1,600 to $2,400 per vehicle life.
A premium of $600 to $1,400 per vehicle life !
(when compared to Premium Quality Conventional petroleum Motor Oil with same API Service Category ratings and same oil change interval)
While ExxonMobil does not publicly release any sales data for Mobil 1 branded products, there is very little doubt by Lubricant Industry experts that indeed Mobil 1 is the most recognized "Synthetic" Oil Brand in the World.
At least in USA, Mobil 1 products are found in every Auto Parts Store, every Mass Merchandiser and even at many Service Station Convenience Stores as well as most Truck Stops.
So as far as volume of sales and proliferation in USA, Mobil 1 "synthetic" Motor Oil, is the leading brand.
Is Mobil 1 profitable for ExxonMobil ?
May be, but it is actually doubtful that even the ExxonMobil CFO knows for sure, and there of course are no verifiable facts as to sales volume or profitability ever published in Annual Reports for ExxonMobil shareholders.
Click the Left button for link to web page that explains the different types of oils that are labeled as SYNTHETIC even if they are actually made from petroleum crude!
And how such "deceptive" practice had evolved and why it is propagated by "marketers" of Motor Oil.
SynLube™ Lube‑4‑Life®
Allows Extended Oil Drain Intervals ...
... or NO Drain !
What is it ?
are 100% man-made Syn-Sols and NO petroleum is
used in the production.
Five different Synthetic Fluids provide for superior performance and three different colloidal solids in sub-micronic size provide the actual lubrication and surface separation. Since this mixture is chemically inert the oil can be used for up to 50 times longer then conventional lubricant. That usually means NO oil changes over the useful life of most vehicles.
What are the inherent problems ?
HIGH Production cost is the only relative disadvantage as typical
Syn-Sol costs are in $20 to $35 range per quart.
The rare chemical compounds that are used for production are available only in a very limited quantities.
Why is it used ?
The superior lubricity reduces friction and therefore significantly improves mechanical efficiency.
In gasoline car engine tests the fuel savings ranged from 4.5% to 6%and in diesel truck engine tests the fuel savings were from 5% to 8%, when compared to ASTM HR-2 (SAE 20W-30) Petroleum Motor Oil.
In NORMAL operation in most vehicles you can safely drive for up to 15 years, 150,000 miles or 4,000 engine hours without an oil change!
That means convenience and savings.
In USA about 67,750 customers use
SynLube™ Lube‑4‑Life® in over 192,000 vehicles.
Since the start of marketing of SynLube™ Lube‑4‑Life® for Automotive use in USA in 1985, it has been successfully used in over 750,000 light duty and over 120,000 Heavy-Duty (Diesel) engines Worldwide.
Typical price is in $20 to $32 per quart range.
See PRICE LIST for current pricing.
to $260 per oil change
$350 to $900 per vehicle life (with ADD OIL).
SAVING of $1,250 to $1,500 per vehicle life !
(when compared to Mobil 1 or Mobil 1 Extended Performance)
While each Motor Oil Change generates 4 to 6 Quarts of Used Motor Oil and 1 Used Oil Filter.
SynLube™ Lube‑4‑Life®
can be returned for Credit or Refund for the volume returned to
SynLube Incorporated!
Over the useful life of most vehicles about one Gallon of Used Motor Oil is generated, which when returned to SynLube Incorporated for re-processing eliminates the need for proper disposal.
The generation of "Hazardous Waste" is therefore completely eliminated when SynLube™ Lube‑4‑Life® is used instead of Motor Oil (both Synthetic or Conventional).

The USF: Unstoppable Campaign continues to transform the colleges and schools of USF Health. Founded in 1965 as the USF Medical Center, USF Health is poised to celebrate its first five decades of service as a beacon of hope not only for the thousands of patients in the communities it serves, but also for countless people around the world sure to be affected by the research going on within its walls.
The mission of USF Health is no less than envisioning and implementing the future of healthcare, not only in this country, but also around the world. The USF: Unstoppable Campaign, and the generosity of people like you, is helping us to secure this mission now and in the future.
Changing Lives, Transforming Health Care
The benefactors of the USF: Unstoppable Campaign have already made a real difference in the lives of the students and faculty of USF Health. Every Campaign is ultimately about people working together to make a better reality for others. To this end, there have been powerful changes realized by the USF: Unstoppable Campaign in the healthcare arena.
At the beginning of the Campaign, the USF Diabetes Center was a dream spoken by a visionary, Dr. Jeffrey Krischer. Today, it is a reality, providing life-changing treatment for Tampa Bay patients and conducting long-ranging research around the world.
At the beginning of the Campaign, the USF College of Pharmacy was a school just beginning to find its footing. Today, it's a college with two classes of students, an innovative curriculum and, bright prospects for a stronger future.
At the beginning of the Campaign, there was no SELECT program, a partnership with the Lehigh Valley Health Network that is training a new generation of elite medical school students. There was no Carol and Frank Morsani Center for Advanced Health Care, much less a Morsani College of Medicine. There was no partnership between the College of Public Health and The Villages Community.
These partnerships, centers, and colleges exist today because of the USF: Unstoppable Campaign.
The Campaign's Second Phase
We're not stopping.
We're focused on finding new, permanent private funding resources for the Center for Advanced Medical Simulation and Learning (CAMLS). With your assistance, we'll seek new professorships in the Colleges of Nursing, Public Health and Pharmacy, as well as scholarships for students across the spectrum of USF Health. We plan to expand public-private partnerships in our School of Physical and Rehabilitation Sciences. Similarly, with your help, we plan to transform the USF Heart Institute with a new facility to create greater access for patients, and better tools for our doctors and students.
As we do so, we will continue to be unstoppable. We will continue to seize this moment.

About Mitten Beer Girl
Hello and Welcome.
My name is Emily and I am a self-proclaimed Michigan Beer Groupie. Hmmm. That sounds like I will put out for beer. (well, it really depends on the beer, but digression is a must at this juncture) Michigan Beer Fan is too lame. All beer drinkers in Michigan are fans. The title of "Beervangelist" is taken by my new acquaintance Fred and since I am VP of his fan club I won't encroach on that title.
I'm an adult convert to the wonderful state of Michigan. I hated it here growing up. Plain and simple. I couldn't wait to leave. Now, twelve + years back after a decade spent living around the country, I am proud to be from Michigan and am on a quest to find the awesome small things Michigan has to offer, using the Quest for 318+ as a backbone for the trip. More importantly, I'm in search of those small town people who make this state what it is: Gritty, Interesting, Passionate and Proud. Something says I will find a bit more about myself in the process.
Today, I am more of the one running around telling everyone how awesome this beer, that brew pub or this festival or that park is. Sometimes, this leads to shocking this person or that when I can name the beer/brewery they drank some great concoction from. It is good to be a beer nerd.
This girl is definitely no expert. I know a little bit about a lot of things. Knitting, skydiving, healthcare, and quilting are but some of the few. I find myself consumed with bright shiny objects and surround myself with friends who know a hell of a lot more than I do. It is to honor them, I raise my glass in silent thanks over and over for teaching me their ways, putting up with my insane number of questions and tolerating my insane passions for the next best beer.
So if you happen to run into me at a pub, in a market, or at a festival, please say hello–but be ready to answer questions about your passions–and tell me about the best beer you have ever drank.

Netflix Dives Into Original Programming with "Lilyhammer" Series Before "House of Cards"
Tiffany Kaiser

Sender E-mail
(Source: latimes.com)
"Lilyhammer" will be available starting February 6 while "House of Cards" will premiere later in 2012
In March of last year, it was discovered that
Netflix was looking to acquire original programming
. It's still pursuing that venture, but the first series isn't what was originally expected.
Netflix was bidding against other networks like AMC and HBO in March 2011 for the original program "House of Cards," which is a Media Rights Capital drama series about a British politician who is looking to succeed Margaret Thatcher as the prime minister. As it turns out, Netflix won that bid and the show was set to be the video streaming/DVD rental giant's first original series.
However, it seems plans have changed. While "House of Cards" will still debut later in 2012, Netflix has another original program that will premiere long before that. In fact, the show will be out next month.
Netflix's first dip into original programming will be a show called "Lilyhammer," which is about a New York mobster named Frank "The Fixer" Tagliano who is entering the federal witness protection program. He ends up moving to a Norwegian town called Lilehammer, but he calls it "Lilyhammer."
The first season of "Lilyhammer" will have eight episodes, and Netflix has committed to two seasons for now. It will be available for
video streaming
on various devices, but not for DVD by mail.
The concept of the show sounds interesting and I'll probably check it out, but it's hard to tell if the show will catch on and become a hit since Netflix has been bombing in every other aspect these days. Acquiring original programming back in March 2011 was likely a good idea when Netflix was on top of the video world, but after raising prices, changing plans, unveiling (then throwing away) the Qwikster DVD idea, etc., Netflix could have a hard time pushing the show.
"Lilyhammer" will be released in the U.S., Canada and Latin America on February 6. Below is a trailer for the new show.

A Daughter's Journey : A compelling and atmospheric saga of love and ambition Paperback

Lyn Andrews' captivating saga A DAUGHTER'S JOURNEY brings the Liverpool of the 1950s and 1960s vividly to life - not to be missed by readers of Maureen Lee and Katie Flynn.Angela O'Rourke is six when her parents hand her over to an aunt and uncle in a distant village.
It's a common practice for large, hard-up families in 1950s Ireland, but for Angela it means that her mother and father don't love her any more.
Angela is well cared for until she's sixteen, but then her uncle takes to drink, and it's not safe for her stay in his house.
Moving to Liverpool in the early 1960s, she begins to make her mark in the world of fashion design.

I usually really like this author's books but I found this one quite hard going or maybe it just wasn't holding my attention.Back Cover Blurb:Little Angela O'Rourke is just six years old when her world falls apart. One of a large Irish family, Angela is passed over to the care of her aunt and uncle. It's a common practice in 1950s Ireland, when there's not enough money to go round, but for Angela it means only one thing: that her parents don't love her any more.Angela's new home is peaceful enough for the next few years but when she's sixteen her uncle takes to drink and it's not safe for her to stay any longer. Liverpool beckons, and so she sets off to train there as a nurse. Change is in the air as the 1960s get underway, and before long Angela's moved on from nursing to the exciting new world of fashion design. Soon she's making a mark with her own boutique, but the pain of a disastrous love affair takes the edge off her success, and she heads home to Ireland, where her aunt has recently died.Sorting through papers, Angela makes an astonishing discovery. As she learns the truth about the past she is finally free of the old sorrow: and a brighter and happier new future beckons.

The CV-22 Osprey Aircraft fulfills the requirement for high-speed, long-range insertion and extraction of SOF forces in hostile or denied territory in a single period of darkness. The range, altitude and speed of the CV-22 Osprey provide flexibility, unpredictability and less dependence on staging bases or refueling assets. As a result, the CV-22 Osprey Aircraft can selfdeploy worldwide to satisfy current combat operations and higher authority taskings. During July 2009, six CV-22 aircraft from the 8th Special Operations Squadron, Hurlburt Field, Fla., completed the first CV-22 Osprey Aircraft operational deployment to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. During the deployment, the unit flew 10,000 nautical miles round-trip across the Atlantic Ocean, accomplishing two aerial refuelings each way, and supported operations by logging over 600 combat flight hours.
The unique characteristic of the CV-22 Osprey is its ability to take off and land like a helicopter, but once airborne, its engine nacelles tilt to convert the aircraft into a high-speed, high-altitude turboprop airplane. The CV-22 Osprey is tailored for special operations missions through an enhanced electronic warfare suite, specifically the AN/AAQ-24 (DIRCM), the AN/ALQ-211 suite of integrated radio frequency countermeasures (SIRFC), and the AN/APQ-186 terrain following/terrain avoidance (TF/TA) multi-mode radar. The DIRCM system provides active jamming of infrared homing missiles.
SIRFC counters threats through its missile-warning receivers and jammers and provides real-time threat information to the aircrew through a dedicated display unit in the cockpit. The TF/TA radar provides the aircrew with the ability to mask the aircraft by flying low and taking advantage of surrounding terrain. To further enhance aircraft and crew survivability, the CV-22 Osprey now includes a .50 caliber, ramp-mounted weapon system. The CV-22 Osprey is powered by two Rolls-Royce AE1107C Liberty turbo shaft engines that produce 6,150 shaft horsepower each, which enable a cruising speed of 230 knots. The CV-22 Osprey is a flyby wire aircraft that provides twice the speed, three times the payload, five times the range, and more than twice the altitude of a conventional CH-46 helicopter. In March 2009, Headquarters Air Force Special Operations Command (HQ AFSOC) declared initial operational capability for the CV-22 Osprey. USSOCOM plans for 50 CV-22s to be delivered to AFSOC by 2016.

A quick and easy stuffed chicken breast recipe with creamy goat cheese and topped with sweet pomegranate seeds, and balsamic vinegar
I have been eating a lot of pomegranates lately. Liiiike, in superfood paleo brownies and Breakfast Cookies with bananas and pomegrante.
I'm eating them to a point where it is scaring Mr. FFF
The actual amount that I am eating is not what is causing him to be a worry pants though. What is causing his anxiety is the fact that he comes home from work every morning to a wife covered in splattery, red, spots. Considering he is a nurse, he automatically jumps into super life saving mode and assumes that his wife is in the midst of doom and death.
Nope. I am just a reallyyyyy messy pomegranate de-seeder person.
On, the bright side I don't have to wear as much makeup these days. Pomegranate juice = instant, natural blush. Plus it's really healthy and that means my cheeks are extra happy. I'm sure I read some article in Cosmo about happy cheeks being important. But, I also haven't read a Cosmo in approximately 40,000 years so I could be lying.
Moving on.
Let's talk about one of my favorite topics, beside shoes, and that is cheese. Specifically cheese from my cute little friend: the goat. Side note: Don't worry, I don't actually think goats are cute. How-ev-er, I think that goats around the world feel like everyone feels that way, so I am trying to pretend change the goat movement. Ya know, just in case one is reading this.
Ok, Goat Cheese. Yes. This is actually my favorite kind of cheese in the whole Milky Way (milky way=cheese. You see the connection.) It works in just about any dish, ESPECIALLY goat cheese stuffed chicken breasts, as it is so mild in flavour but BIG on creamy, smooth nom nom nom-age. I stuffed some into the center of these little clucksters and, BOOM, insta-chicken-that-I-want-to-crawl-up-inside-of-and-make-a-little-home. Is that weird and excessive? I just really like goat cheese you guys.
Side note: Since we are kind of, in a round about way, talking about the appearance of animals, do you guys think that chickens look like mini dinosaurs? Is that just me? Please say no.
Sometimes I really don't know how and why I think of these things. Furthermore, why I say them to YOU.
Alright, so we've established that you need to put some goat cheese in your facial hole. Let's talk about pomegranate balsamic glaze that takes approximately 43 seconds to prepare. Ok, maybe a few more seconds than that, but it is SO EASY. Seriously, if you want to make just about ANYTHING taste delish and look extra fancy, make this sauce. Do it. Don't even think about it. It's thick, sweet, a little bit tangy and has a pop of freshness from the pomegranate juice. The best part about all this magic? One pot wonder. Yesyesyes.
Finally we come 'round the bend to the pomegranate arils. If you did not know this, these little seedies are JAM PACKED with antioxidants that will make yo' body feel the warm tinglies of health and love and joy…and stuff. How-ev-er there are three other reasons what you should finish off your chicken by topping it with pomegranate arils and sweet, fresh basil:
1) Ohhh so pretty!
2) Ohhh the crunch!
3) Ohhh so fancy!
You like it. I like it. Let's eat it.
Goat Cheese Stuffed Pomegranate Chicken with Balsamic Reduction {High Protein + GF}
- For the Chicken:
- 4 Chicken breasts
- 4 Oz Goat Cheese
- Salt
- Pepper
- Garlic Powder
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- For the Balsamic Reduction:
- 1/4 Cup Shallots minced (about 4 small shallots)
- 2/3 Cup Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 Tbsp Pomegranate juice
- 1/4 Cup Low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 Cup + 1 Tbsp Brown sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 Cup Pomegranate arils
- 1/4 Cup Fresh basil diced
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and spray a large baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Cut a pocket into the center of each chicken breast, using a sharp knife,, making sure to not cut all the way through the breast.
- Stuff each pocket with 1 oz of goat cheese and sprinkle each breast with a pinch of salt, pepper and garlic powder.
- In a large pan, heat 1 Tbsp of olive oil over medium/high heat.
- Cook the chicken breasts until lightly golden brown on each side (about 1-2 minutes per side.) Use tongs to flip the chicken as it helps to keep all that cheese inside. However, some cheese may ooze out as it begins to warm up.
- Once browned, transfer the chicken to the prepared baking dish and set aside.
- Turn the heat down to medium and add the shallots right into the same pan the chicken was in.
- Cook the shallots until soft (about 2-3 minutes.)
- Add in the balsamic vinegar, pomegranate juice, chicken broth, brown sugar and pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, stiring constantly, until the sauce just begins to reduce and thicken (about 4-5 minutes.)
- Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken breasts and bake until they are cooked through (15-20 mins.)
- Serve each chicken breast drizzled with some of the leftover sauce, pomegranate seeds and fresh basil.
- Devour!
Recipe NotesI served this over a bed of cous cous that was drizzled with some of the balsamic reduction. It was delicious!

Blizzard has done a great job adding a massive roster of characters to their hit MOBA Heroes of the Storm, but there are several characters that have been seemingly overlooked by the gaming giant. With several new heroes revealed at Gamescom, there are some Blizzard All-Stars that are feeling a bit like they have been left out of the loop. In this list we'll look at some characters who are just dying to enter the fray - literally for some!
While they may not be the most famous characters, they are characters that will spark some fond memories in long-time fans of Blizzard games. So without further ado, let's begin!

In recent games I have moved away from using my Stormraven, mainly because I am trying out my tournament list and due to the unusual composition, I cannot spare the points to fit it in. Nor can I find the optimal use for it, hence the inclusion of the Aegis Defence Line and Quad Gun. With the Interceptor special rule I have a good chance of knocking at least one flier out of the air the moment it arrives and gives me that little bit of anti-air support.

"Let's Take Action," a think tank organized by Los Angeles native Michael Morgenstern and New York transplant Joe Conte, aims to bring people together who may have a tough time talking about race but want to do something about the conditions they see. When I decided to attend this function, I had one question on my mind: Why now? Why all of a sudden are whites caring about the deaths of Black men in America at the hands of police?
January 20, 2016
On Friday night, Jan. 15, many young people gathered outside of the Saint John Coltrane African Orthodox Church for the start of the "Reclaim MLK" weekend, a 96-hour action dedicated to non-violent protest against police terrorism and gentrification. During rush hour, "Reclaim MLK" protesters shut down the major intersection of Geary at Webster in the Fillmore, once San Francisco's Black heartland.
December 23, 2015
"The Talk" or "How to survive while Black" is given at one point or another to all young Black men. It is filled with different pointers and suggestions on how to handle police encounters when you are walking, driving or just breathing while being an African American. My mother gave my younger brother and me the talk several years ago when we turned 12, and 15 years later I gave it to my "little brother" M, a young man that I am mentoring.

Hi everyone,
As many of you may know, I've been playing drums in British/Belgian pop/rock band Troubleman for over 10 years. If you want to know what we do, where we've been, and sample our music please visit our MySpace or Facebook page. In the increasingly difficult music business the quality of your music isn't sufficient enough for a breakthrough and a band needs all the help it can get.
Now that our second album is out we might have a shot at something more serious. Bel-RTL has a new concept for Sunday nights between 9PM and midnight. Three bands are featured on the Bel RTL website and during the broadcast. Every Sunday the band that garnered the most votes will get airplay and an interview on the premier radio of the French community in Belgium. Troubleman was selected for the first broadcast with "Radio", so vote for us! It's simple -- just click the link below and select "Troubleman" in the list.
Voting ends on Tuesday midnight, so there's a little over 24 hours left. Thank all of you who decide to help us. ;^)
Looks like you won!
Looks like you won!
The others didn't even see
The others didn't even see it coming. Your battalion at the ready and all. ;^D
It was regimental strength,
It was regimental strength, Captain! :-)

Why Every Freelance Writer Should Diversify IMO
I was recently reading the Inc.com article, Forever Broke: 15 Things Holding You Back From Becoming a Multi-Millionaire, and when I ran across this part of the article, I did a fist pump into the air, exclaiming, "Exactly!"
Even if you have a six-figure salary, never rely on one stream of income. It's a practice that the wealthy have followed for years, because you never know when that cushy job could come to a halt. Additionally, having multiple streams of income allows you to pay off any debt faster and put more money into your investments and retirement.
Thanks to the freelancer generation, you can side-hustle whenever you want … or even start your own business from the comfort of your home.
My Biggest Fear as a Freelancer
Being old and poor. I've seen "senior poverty" up close and personal. It's no fun.
I grew up poor (financially; emotionally I couldn't have had a richer childhood), and one of the things that's always stuck with me is how hard my parents worked, and how the money just never seemed to stretch. My folks always had full-time jobs and side gigs.
My mom sold Avon. My stepdad painted murals and signs for local businesses. My father fixed any household appliance you had. So I guess you could say "hustling" is in my blood — and a good thing too because I've made some god-awful financial decisions, that thankfully I'm making up lost time for.
How This Blogger Earns Earning Over $100,000 Per MONTH & You Can Too!
So, what does everything I just said above have to do with today's post? Well, one of the ways I'm diversifying my income — and starting to earn more — is in affiliate marketing. My goal by year's end is $10,000 per month.
I spent the latter part of 2015 and almost all of 2016 researching and studying how the big boys and girls — the really uber-successful ones — make money.
One of the programs that I ran across that I couldn't resist taking was Michelle Schroeder-Gardner's Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing. She earns over $100,000 per month. I was like, "Dear lord, what's her secret?!" I had to know, so I signed up for her course. Some of the best money I've ever spent business-wise.
Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing: An In-Depth Course Review
FYI, here's my thorough review of the course (some FAQs are covered at the end).
Interview with Michelle Schroeder-Gardner from Making Sense of Cents
After I took the course, I reached out to Michelle to ask her if she'd mind answering a few questions of readers for my blog. She happily agreed. Following is what she had to say.
1. Please give us a little background on yourself, how you started, and how it's going for you right now.
Hello! My name is Michelle and I run the personal finance blog Making Sense of Cents. I currently travel full-time in an RV with my husband and our two dogs.
We sold our house in 2015 and we absolutely love being able to work and travel! I have three finance-related college degrees and I used to be a financial analyst before I left my day job to blog full-time.
Over five years ago in August of 2011, I started Making Sense of Cents with the goal of helping people learn how to save money as well as journaling my personal finance path after reading a magazine that featured a personal finance website in one of their articles.
After reading that feature, I became interested in that website and my interest in blogging just grew from there. This is interesting and hilarious because before that year, I had no idea about what blogs were, that they could even make money, and so on.
I didn't create and publish my blog with the hope of earning an income. It was all just a hobby until I noticed how much I loved blogging and realized that it was for me. I became a full-time blogger in October of 2013 and I haven't looked back once. Blogging has completely changed my life for the better and it's something that I recommend everyone try if they are interested.
On Making Sense of Cents, I write a lot about the various ways to make extra money, money saving tips, achieving your dream life, traveling full-time, and more. I'm all about helping people live the best possible life that they can. I love running my blog and I am very happy that this is now my full-time career, my business, and pretty much my life.
2. What prompted you to create your affiliate marketing course?
I decided to create Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing after many people asked me to create the course. I was offering blog coaching on the side, but I soon realized that with coaching that I could only help so many people.
So, I decided to create a course so that I could help more people instead of going over nearly the same thing with each coaching client. Plus, it's a great way to earn semi-passive income.
3. What is the first thing you'd advise new affiliate marketers to do?
The first thing I'd advise new affiliate marketers to do is to think about the various things that they already use and probably talk about on their platform. Those should almost always be the first things that you promote with your platform because you are already an expert or, at least, familiar with those products.
After that, it's all about promoting your affiliate products the correct way, which is exactly what I teach in the course.
4. Can you share a couple of tips for writing a blog post that converts (one that makes sales)?
Yes, of course!
1) Natural Links: An affiliate income earning blog post doesn't always have to be a review of the affiliate product. This is something that many people get wrong. I hardly ever write affiliate product reviews, usually what converts best is a blog post that just contains a link to an affiliate product. So, I recommend including affiliate links within normal blog posts as well.
2) Product Familiarity: Make sure you've used, are using and/or are familiar with the product. Just slapping affiliate links around your blog won't be effective.
3) Write & Promote: Spend just as much time promoting a post as you do writing it. Your blog post can be the greatest thing ever, but if you don't promote it, then no one will see it.
5. And finally, as a finance expert, can you end by giving freelancers one piece of advice about how to effectively manage an inconsistent income?
My top piece of advice would be to have a well-funded emergency fund. By doing this, slow months or bad weeks won't impact your productivity or mental state as much as if you didn't. This is because you'll have your emergency fund to fall back on!
Free Report: Earn More Immediately
Increase Your Affiliate Earnings: 7 Things I Did Immediately After Finishing Michelle's Course That Can Help You Earn More. Like I said in the beginning of this post, I spent a little over a year studying affiliate marketing. Michelle's course was one of the most thorough, well-thought-out, honest programs I came across. It was so effective that I immediately got to work. I compiled what I did into this free report.
Note: The report is free for those who order via my affiliate link.

That was a very good episode and Happy Thanksgiving.
Respect and shock for the Supernovas
I am shocked that the other Super novas survived. The only reason i say this is because luffy would have never survived the Shabaody Archipelago arch if it weren't for Kuma and Silver Rayleigh. On top of that watching Admiral Kizaru beat some of the Supernovas without breaking a sweat left me thinking they were screwed. I was wrong to think just because they were rookies that they wouldn't survive. I am impressed with X Drake, Basil Hawkins, Scratchmen Apoo, and Urouge for surviving the battle with Kizaru and escaping. Basil Hawkins was right about his predictions about not dyeing that day.
Just and Idea
If white beard can fling Diomand Jozu at bullet speed then he could break the wall. Jozu can turn into a diamond while he is being thrown at the speed of bullet and then smash the wall with his super strength.
Things to hope for
I hope the some of the supernovas are going to war to. I wonder if luffy as learned to apply his haki with his attacks? Going against the top three admirals at once worse then Ore Jr. rushing into battle with the remaining Shichibukai move. If Luffy can free his brother, Supernovas do join the battle, and remaining Shichibukai screw the marines over then the tide of this battle could turn.
I thought this was going to be a double issue. What happend?

Yes, I'm already expecting the influx of theories involving Bonney being Whitebead's daughter/granddaughter coming in.....
Anyways, I still have my doubts about the siege wall being made of seastone since, as I pointed out a couple of times already, Luffy clearly touched the wall last chapter without any sort of hint of him losing his power. I can only assume that the wall is made of some kind of new metal that's as strong or stronger than seastone (possible developed by the good Dr. Vegapunk). Yikes, just imagine the marines using that metal as an alloy for the Pacifistas. If Whitebeard couldn't break through its defenses, then a good majority of the world's pirates would be screwed big-time.....

It's also possible that WB is just a lot weaker than before. Having a sword run through you can do that to you, I imagine. He's (internally) bleeding all over the place.
Not sure what Luffy's problem was, though. He could have easily grabbed one of the ledges from where the cannons were placed and catapulted himself over the wall. It wasn't that high.
And did anyone else find it funny how Jimbei can just shoot streams of (sea)water at people? He shot one that landed (Luffy) right in front of the 3 DF admirals. They probably anticipated its landing point and didn't move away accordingly, but if Jimbei tried, I bet he could be one major annoyance to any of the DF users there. Close combat with a karate fishman in the middle of a lake is suicidal. And he can disable you from afar with his (sea)water attacks. He should be so overpowered in this battle (or any battle near seawater).

This battle is wild. Luffy actually seems to be thinking and planning things out to some degree. He's so close, but he has the three admirals right before him. Even Rayleigh had trouble with Kizaru. I think it's safe to assume that all three are Logia type Devil Fruit users. Probably Luffy's worst match. The only thing that has shown to counteract Logia Types is an opposing element weakness or Haki.
We have finally seen that the Supernovas escaped. That's been up in the air.

Well, the wall is thick, made by random precious material and have measures to reduce mere direct forces. We also have WB old/sick/got stabbed. They don't need to have sea stones inside for this case....
Also, i think sea stones can't cancel spell or absorb force.....It just stop the power of devil fruit users in contact. Otherwise they had sea-stones shield in action....

It does appear that the attack Luffy uses goes through all three.

He has molten lava on his face but this surely doesnt prove he is a logia.Magellan as a poison paramecia, also never felt his own poison's effects while wearing it.
So either Akainu is a complete lava logia (which is less likely) or a volcano paramecia that is immune to lava just like Magellan.Paramecia can also explain why entire meteors raining down as fists, since he may turn his hand into an actual volcano with shape fist summit.

Kizaru beat the Supernovas and he lets them escape? I think the whole scene with the Supernovas is a clue to Kizarus true intentions. Kizaru is supposed to believe in absolute justice. Leaving Supernovas out in the street to escape just doesn't seem to fit someone who believes in Absolute Justice, considering all these fools have bounties on their heads.
We also see Kuma and Raleigh interrupt his arrest of the Straw Hats. Did he tip them off? He also didn't feel like turning into a beam of light and interrupting Kuma. And he took his time "fighting" Raleigh.
Kizaru is a bit of a goof ball, too.
What if he's an inside man for the revolutionaries?

For one of our client, we need to show a map with vehicles position updated in real-time.
So I began to make a prototype using Play! framework, with its latest released version 2.0, using the Java API. I started from the websocket-chat of the Play! 2.0 samples.
The purpose of the prototype is to show a moving vehicle on a map. The location of the vehicle is sent to the server through a REST call (at the end, it will be sent by an Android app), and the connected users can see the vehicle moving in real-time on their map.
First, let's look at a small demo !
So, at first, to make the things a bit pretty, I decided to integrate Twitter Bootstrap (v2.0.1) using LessCss. For that, I used the tips from the following article (nothing difficult here).
Then, I integrated OpenLayers, a Javascript framework used for map visualization. I used the Google Maps integration example, and add some KML layers. This is done in the map.scala.html and maptracker.js files, nothing fancy here (it is pure Javascript, and I'm not an expert…).
The interesting part is the one using the WebSockets. On the client side, it is quite standard :
When the client receive a JSON data from the websocket, it moves the marker on the map. And if an error occurs on the websocket (the server is stopped for instance), a pretty error is displayed thanks to Twitter Bootstrap :
On the server part, the websocket is created by the Application controller, and is handled by the MapAnime.java Akka actor; it accesses Akka native libraries to deal with the events from the controller.
The "register" and "moveTo" methods are called by the controller, they send messages to the Akka system. These messages are processed by the "onReceive" method. For instance, when it receives a MoveMessage, it creates a JSON object with the longitude and the latitude and it is sent to the clients through the websockets.
I also quickly wrote a test class which parse a text file, and send REST requests with a new location to the server every 100ms.
The project is hosted on Github. It works with Google Chrome v17 and Firefox v11.
To test it,
- download Play! 2.0
- clone the Git repo
- start "play run" in the project directory
- connect to "http://localhost:9000/map"
- in another terminal, run "play test" to send REST requests and to make the vehicle move 🙂
The problem I need to solve now is that the application is not Stateless, because in the Actor, I store a Map of connected clients. Maybe I'll need to look at Redis or something, any help would be greatly appreciated.
So in conclusion, I was able to quickly develop a working prototype, and I think I'll try to use Play! 2.0 in several projects 😉
What's good:
- Highly productive
- Typesafe view templates based on Scala
- LessCss integration
- Akka integration
- Compiled javascript with Google Closure Compiler
- No need to learn Scala for the moment, hooray ! 😉
To be improved:
- The Scala compile times should be increased, because on my PC, it takes up to 4s to compile a view, and it breaks my flow (I use the "~run" command to gain 1s when switching from my IDE to my web browser)
- The Scala compiler errors are cryptic
- I cannot deploy the demo on Heroku because it does not support (yet ?) websockets
Update: A bit later, I discovered an article from @steve_objectify using similar technologies: http://www.objectify.be/wordpress/?p=341
Update 2: I was successfully able to deploy the app on a cloud platform which allows websockets, dotCloud, by using this method. The result was (sorry!) available here : http://maptracker-ndeverge.dotcloud.com/mapGoogle+

Lufthansa announce change in cockpit regulation following Germanwings Alps crash
THE parent company of Germanwings has announced a change in regulation to avert the air disaster that left 150 people dead in a tragic plane crash.
Lufthansa have announced a change in cockpit regulations
The airline have implemented a new rule to ensure two crew members must be in the cockpit area at all times during their flights.
Lufthansa revealed the change in procedure today and said they will enforce the new rule "as soon as possible".
The move came days after 144 passengers and six crew members died on board flight 9525 when the doomed aircraft crashed into the French Alps.
The co-pilot, Andreas Lubitz, is suspected of refusing to open the cockpit door to the pilot before activating the descent button - causing the plane to smash into the mountain.
It is believed he had been suffering from depression.
Lufthansa said in a statement: "Under the new procedure, two authorised persons must be present in the cockpit at all times during a flight."
"The passenger airlines of the Lufthansa Group will adopt the new procedure as soon as possible, in due consultation with their national aviation authority."
easyJet have also announced changes
A Germanwings flight crashed into the French Alps earlier this week
Other airlines who have also announced the "two person" cockpit rule, which is already standard for American airlines, include easyJet and AirBerlin.
An easyJet spokesperson yesterday stated: "easyJet can confirm that, with effect from tomorrow, it will change its procedure which will mean that two crew members will be in the cockpit at all times."
Following the devastating crash, UK airlines were told to "review all relevant procedures" by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
The CAA said they will "continue to monitor the situation" as more details develop surrounding Tuesday's crash.
The safety and security and of its passengers and crew is the airline's highest priority
The organisation said in a statement: "Following the details that have emerged regarding the tragic Germanwings incident, we are co-ordinating closely with colleagues at the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and have contacted all UK operators to require them to review all relevant procedures.
"All UK airline pilots undergo extensive and regular medical assessments to determine their fitness to hold a licence.
"As part of this, aeromedical examiners are required to assess a commercial pilot's mental health at each medical examination which, for an airline pilot flying with at least one other pilot, is undertaken annually."
The CAA spokesman added: "These detailed medical assessments are in line with international aviation standards.
"We will continue to monitor the situation as the investigation develops and our thoughts remain with the friends and relatives of all those affected by this tragic incident."
Meanwhile, Canada Air and Norwegian Air Shuttle have announced similar plans to those revealed by Lufthansa.
It emerged today that German prosecutors had found torn-up sick notes in the home of Lubitz, and suspected that he had hid an existing illness from his employer.
In their report, they said some were "recent and even from the day of the crime".
They did not disclose what Lubitz was suffering from, but said their evidence pointed "towards an existing illness and corresponding treatment by doctors".
No evidence of political or religious motivation behind the crash was found, nor a suicide note.
Earlier, German media reported that Lubitz suffered from depression some six years ago - allegedly resulting him spending over a year in psychiatric treatment.
Lufthansa, parent company of Germanwings, acknowledged that Lubitz had broken off his training in 2009 but said there was nothing in the pilot's background to suggest he was a risk.
Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr said: "After he was cleared again, he resumed training. He passed all the subsequent tests and checks with flying colours. His flying abilities were flawless."

This Slow Cooker Fiesta Chicken Chili Recipe is the perfect simple comfort meal for a cold winter day! Cozy up on the couch with a blanket and book while this Slow Cooker Fiesta Chicken Chili Recipe cooks effortlessly!
Nothing's better on a cold winter day than snuggling up on the couch with a fuzzy blanket and a good book. Today we've spent the day hanging out in our PJs relaxing and playing indoors– it's so cold and rainy outside– I have ZERO desire to go anywhere today!
The kids snuggled up with blankets and their bean bag chairs watching movies all day while I lounged behind them finishing up a book that I've seriously been trying to find time to finish for the last 6 months! Days like this come so seldom and are a true luxury compared to my busy non-stop mommy days….even the kids were mellow today! Sometimes it's nice to just sit and be with each other for a day…no worrying about what time it is…no schedules to follow….etc. So I don't want to break up this peaceful harmony by spending a ton of time in the kitchen making dinner.

I feel like I'm constantly running in circles trying to get everything done and NOTHING ever gets all the way done.

The wireless network in question does not broadcast its SSID. Under Vista and XP this isn't a problem as the checkbox that allows you to connect even if the WLAN is not broadcasting its SSID is checked. However in Windows 7 this checkbox was not ticked and because it was a group policy it was not possible to change it.
It's possible to take a copy of the profile and change that one instead though using the netsh command.
To export the existing profile that has all the settings in you want, just type
netsh wlan export profile 'profilename'
This will give you an XML file with your settings in. Rename it to 'newprofile.xml' or similar and then edit this file and change the name of the profile to something you want, like Profile2. Then run the following
netsh wlan add profile newprofile.xml
Then happily you will see the profile in your wireless network choices and can change the tickbox to allow to connect to the non broadcasting SSID.

Opening: plenary asked to vote supplementary budget to avert cash shortfall
The European Commission will run out of funds to make payments in November unless Parliament approves a €2.7 billion supplementary and amending budget this week, President Schulz told MEPs. Mr Schulz reported that he had been warned of the impending cash shortfall by Commission President José Manuel Barroso, this morning.
He suggested that if the Council could deliver a supplementary budget proposal in time, then the Budgets Committee could check it on Tuesday evening and if appropriate recommend putting it to a plenary vote on Wednesday or Thursday.
He noted that Parliament had previously been prepared to approve this supplementary and amending budget (N° 6). The Council itself had taken a different view at the time, but now wanted it approved via the urgent procedure, he added.
Agenda changes
Tuesday's votes on the Böge report on the financing of the European Social Fund and the La Via report on strengthening it to increase allocations to France, Italy and Spain were taken off the agenda, not having being adopted by the Budgets committee.

Why students should come to California ESL – Language Academy?
Before deciding on a school, this is the question you should ask yourself. "Why should I choose California ESL over another school?"
Another question you may ask is about class size. California ESL provides small classes which allow students and teachers to work closely together and for students to receive personalized attention and support.
The third and most important question may be about the program. When students enroll at California ESL, their needs and levels are carefully considered. Classes and books are arranged around student levels.
Something you may not think about when choosing a school is the atmosphere of that school. California ESL prides itself on having a friendly atmosphere where students and teachers can build a relationship together.

Scarefest was great yesterday! i enjoyed dressing up with my friend who was Th13teen although he did get recognized as a tree throughout the park... We didn't spot any travelers either so that was a big relief. I think the best part of the day was when one of The Smiler staff hugged me because of my costume the staff that work the smiler this season really know how to make you smile but back to the scare mazes. Here are my reviews for all three plus the scare zones.
Some spoilers may be ahead so you'e been warned!
Terror of the towers:
This was actually my first time doing this maze just like the other two and of course we didn't know what to expect.
We walked down the makeshift pathway towards the scare maze and went in one at a time then we had to do the conga line to go through the maze which is extremely hard when your friend is pretty tall and your trying to catch up with the front because they are going too fast. The actors did an okay job but instead of scaring me they mostly made me laugh.
After we finished the maze i also asked my friend what he thought of it and he told me that it seemed a bit boring which was to be expected so then we moved onto our next maze which was Sub species.
Rating for tott: 5/10
Sub species:
This scare maze was a lot of fun! you don't have to do the conga line which was a big relief but as soon as we entered and had the safety talk we entered and my friend got pulled into a room and i got left behind! (i did find him later on) The group that had gone in there previously had gotten lost so our group bumped into them a long they way and we told them they ere going back the way they came so they turned around and eventually found where they were going. after a bit of walking in the dark and running into some friendly creatures we made it to the sewer tunnel where we had to crawl through to the other room where more friends were waiting. I did jump a few times from someone touching my hair (which the actors kept doing!) and then an actor blocked my way so i sneaked under his arm and ran away from him towards the exit where.. another friendly person was waiting with a chainsaw which he decided to put on my butt which made me run from the maze with him chasing me into a huge group of watchers! i have to say though i think this was the best maze of the year and so did my friend.
I rate Sub species 9/10
Skin snatchers:
This was the brand new maze for this years Scarefest and i couldn't wait to try it out. Once we had the safety talk the leader of the line was given a helmet along with the middle person and the back person, after they were given the helmets the actor gave us the story of the mines and his "family" once he was done we were led into the scare maze into a elevator styled room (sub terror nostalgia) where it pretended to move into the lower mine shaft. We entered through a door with cloth hanging over it and met with the other actor who told us a bit more about the story while touching our faces! I feel sorry for one person because the actor stared into her eyes for 5 minutes before carrying on with the story.
We carried on through the maze and went through the corridor of gas masks ( i thought someone was following me until i realized that it was the last two at the back of the line) after to gas mask corridor we had a few jumps and actors and got hit in the head with hanging things made to look like bodies i think? we carried on until we found the exit passing another friendly actor! until we came out of the maze. I asked my friend what he thought and he said it was good but he liked sub species much better.
I rate Skin snatchers 6/10
the scare zones were pretty good especially freak show, i loved the music. Dark Apocalypse was alright for a free scare zone but once again the chainsaw came for me!
I rate Freak Show 5/10 the only thing they could work on is having more interaction with guests. We walked past most of them like we were invisible.
I rate Dark Apocalypse 5/10 same thing with freak show is that the actors need to have more interaction with guests most of the actors were walking around like they were lost but the chainsaw actor made up for it.
Overall it was a great day but i don't think my friend will be dressing as Th13teen again after he got mistaken for obi one kenobi, gandalf, and a tree.
Sorry for the wall of text just thought i'd share my Scarefest experience!

Take a moment to think about how you apply your eyeshadow every day.
How many times have you moisturized your skin with lotion only to find it completely dry and cracked hours later?
If you're looking for a little inspiration for the next time you put on your mascara, eyeliner and lipstick, you might want to see what some of Hollywood's brightest stars were wearing at the 2013 Golden Globes!
How many times have you found yourself wishing your mascara lasted longer and didn't require another application halfway through the day?
Looking for a cool new eye makeup look that's perfect for wintertime?
If you're looking for a way to revamp your makeup routine for the rest of the winter, all you really need is one color to help you achieve rosy perfection: red.
Check out last year's biggest hits and worst misses from your favorite celebrities.
If you're tired of choosing between the same few hairstyles every day, it's probably time to find a new go-to 'do.
There's nothing more beautiful than long, radiant locks, but as any woman with long hair will tell you, it's no easy task to maintain this type of 'do.
Whether you're looking for the perfect makeup for prom or you're helping your daughter create a fabulous appearance, it can be challenging to hit it out of the park.
If you're planning a spring wedding, you'll want to make sure you have the perfect eyeliner, lipstick and foundation on your big day.
If you're lucky enough to have an olive complexion, you know how big of an advantage it can be to look like you have a tan all year long. However, it can be tricky buying foundation, concealer and blush for your skin tone.


text: The Buriti fruit is a chestnut colour and is covered with shiny scales. The yellow flesh covers a hard, oval, nut. The seeds float, and this is the means by which the palm tree propagates. The Buriti fruit is edible, has a high vitamin C content, and used to make juice, jam, ice cream, and a fermented "wine". An oil high in vitamin A is extracted from the pulp and is frequently used to treat burns because of its soothing qualities. The inflorescence buds are eaten as a vegetable, and the sap can be drunk fresh or fermented. It is from the Palmeira Buriti (Mauritia flexuosa) also known as the Palmeira Ité, Ita. It grows in the Cerrado, always near swamps and other wet areas in tropical Brazil. It is an elegant tree which can reach up to 35 m in height. The large leaves form a rounded crown.

PARIS — Grimacing after some poor shots, leaning forward with hands on knees while catching her breath after others, Venus Williams left the French Open after the first round for the first time since 2001.
Williams, a seven-time Grand Slam champion and former No. 1-ranked player seeded 30th at Roland Garros, felt hampered by a bad back, had problems with her serve — all sorts of strokes, actually — and lost 7-6 (5), 6-7 (4), 6-4 Sunday to 40th-ranked Urszula Radwanska of Poland, who never has been past the second round of a major tournament.
Inflammation in her lower back limited Williams to two matches over the previous 1½ months, preparation she called, with a chuckle, "extremely unideal."
"I can't really serve very hard. It's painful when I do that. But I'm getting better. I just, you know, ran out of time to get better for this tournament," said Williams, broken 11 of the 17 times she served Sunday. "My strategy was more or less to put the ball in, and that's very difficult for me, too, because that's not who I am. But that's all I had."
Her quick exit came a year after she lost in the second round at Roland Garros to Radwanska's older sister, Agnieszka, the 2012 Wimbledon runner-up.
"Yeah, of course, I was talking with Aga about Venus," Urszula said. "I was well-prepared for this match, and I knew she was a great fighter, so I should be focused the whole match."
Williams, naturally, also knows a thing or two about having a more successful tennis-playing sibling, and her short stay in Paris comes a year after younger sister Serena, who owns 15 Grand Slam titles, was upset in the first round at Roland Garros. Serena made a fluent return to the clay-court tournament in the early afternoon Sunday, overwhelming 74th-ranked Anna Tatishvili 6-0, 6-1 — and then addressing an appreciative audience at Court Philippe Chatrier in the local language.
"I have been speaking French for years and years, but I don't really have a lot of confidence," Serena said later, in English. "It's way, way more nerve-racking than playing tennis."
On this day, for her, absolutely.
The only other seeded player to lose on Day 1 was No. 11 Nadia Petrova of Russia, who was defeated by Monica Puig of Puerto Rico 3-6, 7-5, 6-4.
Otherwise, results went to form, with 17-time major champion Roger Federer picking up a 6-2, 6-2, 6-3 victory over a guy making his Grand Slam debut, Pablo Carreno Busta of Spain.

Words-worth: Confidence
Everyone's talking about confidence. Where did the word come from?
What the world needs now is confidence, and lots of it. Consumers need confidence about their prospects to encourage them to spend; while businesses hope that spending will continue. Investors need confidence in the banks. The markets need confidence in countries. Clearly, confidence is a valuable commodity. At root, confidence is a matter of trust, as we recognise when we tell something to someone 'in confidence'. The word comes from the Latin verb confidere, to rely strongly upon, and that's what it meant when it appeared in English early in the 1400s. A century or so later, it had come to take on its most common modern usage: a sense of self-assurance or boldness, based upon a belief that everything will be all right. Indeed, it can even mean an assurance based on nothing at all. That's what confidence tricks, first named in the 19th century, rely on: the 'mark' places his confidence in the 'con-man', and duly loses his money. But while consumer confidence ebbs and flows, confidence tricks never go out of fashion.
