What I mean is (I have said this a few times now) but I used to play Chrome Hounds on XBox 360 and while I played primarily a light scout mech build in that game... after a while, the game became EVERYONE buiding light fast designs just to base rush the other team's base. It really became a bit of an annoyance after a while. Those that wanted to play as a mixed unit with different roles lost most of the time because the other team with nothing but fast lights, could skirt the edge of the map, and come around on your base and take it out very quickly. I hope that something will be done to make sure this game does not turn into just base rushing.
So... how will you handle such an issue if this should happen?

Known as the comfortable cousin of the StingRay, it's the Music Man Sterling with 2 pickups!
The Sterling's shape is similar to the StingRay, but shorter and narrower, with a slightly smaller neck (34" scale, 7.5" radius). It also features hot rodded electronics: active 3-band preamp, 2 MusicMan humbuckers with hum canceling phantom coils, and unique 5-way switching (individual humbuckers, both humbuckers, and selections of tapped coils from both pickups). Volume, treble, mid, bass controls. Includes hardshell case. Schaller BM tapered-post tuners.
It's an even more versatile version of the Sterling. Order this MusicMan classic and play big.

'79 Freightliner Conventional
The Conventional road tractor is an American tradition. This one is a "Work Horse" with a custom bull bar and many accessories. As with real trucks you have to "spec out" the truck that you want. This means you must decide road tractor, dumper, tow truck, tanker, stake bed, or any combination to meet your special need. Further down the page we will show you the different ways a Conventional can be configured, but not limited to what we show you. This Conventional road tractor has been "speced out" as an R/C "Work Horse" complete with detailed interior may be viewed by opening the door. The dual 12V motors may be viewed by opening the tilt hood coupled to a 3 speed metal transmission, then a metal drive shaft coupled to a 4:1 auxiliary transmission which in turn feeds tandem metal locking differentials. Because when you are pulling twin 40' trailers loaded to the maximum out of the woods you need power.
Dump Trucks
Is a 10-wheel dump truck more to your liking? Here is a traditional truck, ith full R/C featuring; start the diesel engine, sound system and sound the air horns. Steering; forward and reverse, shifting the 3-speed transmission. Dumping a load of sand or gravel are all accomplished from the hand held transmitter.
Buy this truck (Conventional Dump) This one has been working hard
Need to move more dirt, then build a road tractor and pull a dump trailer (see TRAILERS for more options). If a tractor-trailer dump truck is your preference you can pull your trailer with an over the road tractor or pull a tag trailer with your 10-wheeler to get the loader to the job site.
Have some equipment to move? The Conventional is a nice size rig for moving equipment.
For the short trip, a Day Cab just might be the right truck for the job. As a flatbed truck some small heavy loads can be delivered quickly.
The Wrecker
When things go wrong and a Big Rig needs a ride home the Freightliner Conventional wrecker is what you need. Small enough to get into the jobsite, strong enough to do the work.
Have a lot of fuel to move? The straight truck tanker will make in town deliveries easily. Need to take more fuel to one location? Then add a "PUP" and double your capacity.
Maybe you just need a "Work Horse" that is just going to get dirty! But they do clean up nicely!
All of these trucks that we have shown you start out as a Pro chassis and a cab kit. Then just like with a real truck you choose your components to build the vehicle to do the job you have in mind.

Alex wants a new hybrid car but can't afford the high price. She goes to the local credit union and gets a loan to buy the car. She gives the credit union an interest in the car as collateral. The credit union's interest in the car is a security interest. This creates a secured transaction. If Alex defaults on the loan from the credit union, the credit union is able to take possession of the hybrid car and sell it. Alex is the debtor and the credit union is the secured party.
Security interest
Interest in someone else's property, created by contract or by law. A mortgage is one type of security interest created by contract. A garnishment is one type of security interest created by law.
See Collateral and Secured transaction.
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
A claim against property that secures a debt.

This is the child-sized baby grand piano that teaches aspiring pianists to play with visual digital aides and a built-in metronome. A 3" LCD panel above the keyboard displays animated piano keys, left and right hands, and a metronome. As one of the 12 lesson songs plays through the piano's speaker, the correct animated fingers and keys illuminate on the LCD to indicate which of the actual keys the child should play. Aspiring musicians can customize the lessons to practice playing with one or both hands and the metronome adjusts from 16 to 400 beats per minute, allowing song tempo to be tailored to a pianist's skill level. The piano can record and play back original compositions, it has 30 demonstration songs, and can play eight different background drum beats. The piano requires less than 3' sq. of floor space and its 37 keys provide a more manageable teaching tool. Requires four AA batteries. Includes sheet music for the 12 lesson songs. Stool not included. 22 1/3" H x 28 1/2" W x 17 1/2" D. (9 lbs.)

The quirky, zany "30 Rock" has lasted seven seasons and given us all kinds of memorable moments and guest stars. Think Oprah Winfrey sitting next to Tina Fey's Liz Lemon on a plane. Newsman Brian Williams and Al Gore showing they have a sense of humor. And plenty of iconic comedians and "Saturday Night Live" alumni. Tonight, an hourlong finale will bid adieu to Liz, Jack (Alec Baldwin), Tracy (Tracy Morgan), Jenna (Jane Krakowski) and Kenneth (Jack McBrayer). Liz is a newlywed and a new stay-at-home mom, a combination that results in all sorts of problems. Kenneth is adjusting to his big promotion from page to president. And Tracy and Jenna are being Tracy and Jenna, which is to say a little self-involved in an endearing way. The slew of tonight's Very Special Guest Stars includes House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, but expect some other surprises and many returning guest stars. 8 p.m. NBC
After so many seasons of getting to know the characters of "The Office," last week's big fight between Jim and Pam hurt us viewers. We've rooted for this couple from Day 1, and they seemed to have found their happily ever after. But what started as a small tiff about missing a ballet recital escalated into something that won't be easy to recover from. The fight, though, also was groundbreaking for the show. It resulted in one of the camera operators (for the show within the show) revealing himself, talking to the camera and comforting Pam. It was very moving, and rare for these shows that follow the mockumentary style. We'll find out more about this documentary crew that's followed Dunder-Mifflin for so long. In the meantime, let's reunite Jim and Pam and have them be happy again. 9 p.m. NBC

Rules to Employees The Store must be open from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM the year round. Store must be swept; counters, base shelves and showcases dusted; lamps trimmed, filled and chimneys cleaned; pens made; doors and windows opened, a pail of water, also a bucket of coal brought in before breakfast if there is time to do so attend to customers who call. Store must not be opened on the Sabbath unless necessary and then only for a few minutes. The employee who is in the habit of smoking Spanish cigars, being shaved at the barber's, going to dances and other places of amusement will surely give his employer reasons to be suspicious of his integrity and honesty. Each employee must not pay less than five dollars per year to the church and must attend Sunday school regularly. Men employees are given one evening a week for courting, and two if they go to prayer meeting. After fourteen hours of work in the store the lieasure hours should be spent mostly in reading. Posted in the office of a Red Wing MN Hardware & Paint store from the late 1850's until approx 1900 when the store closed. |

Johan, That hardware store was in business for 50 years. It must have been doing something right. Now what could that something have been? I like the part about the 3-inch Spanish cigars and getting shaved at the barber's. If you were a customer, would you want to be served by a man would do such things! Patty :=)) The rules didn't say anything about addressing the customers as "guys" and saying "No problem" instead of "You're welcome." Dreadful oversight.

In today's world, it seems some stores exemplify good customer service while others find no need to keep tabs on their employees. Have you ever... Counted the number of piercings on the face of the person helping you and been so very tempted to ask just how bad it really hurt? Approached the cash register with a cart full of goodies only to find it being watched by someone on their phone? "Ummm excuse me? Just take your time. I would love to hear the latest about your boyfriend" Find yourself explaining your purchases to an overly nosey employee who maybe knows you a little more than you would want them to? "What, no Bengay this time?" I really am glad these fine folks are out in the work force and paying taxes just like me but sometimes you just have to wonder. I have a great store I shop at here that gives superior customer service and I acknowledge it to the employee and the manager when I do get it. Fuller |

Customer service is not a "lost" art -- employees can be trained. But there's a rub: the employee must first be inclined toward making the effort -- the inclination comes from each employee's willingness and the obvious commitment of management. I'm with Fuller. I frequently shop in a big-box store that publicly makes a big deal about helpful employees. You better know what you want and go get it yourself because the employees are either nowhere to be found or busy chatting with each other. On the other hand, I prefer the neighborhood ACE Hardware where it is obvious that the manager doesn't want you to be left to your own devices. If he's short-handed (it happens), he's on the floor himself. Come to think of it, he's always on the floor looking for someone to help. Ole |

There is a twist to this. How 'bout the customers who feel they are ALWAYS right? Case in point; A lady dropped a can of Dinty Moore on her big toe from her own clumsiness and demanded that the store pay her $500 doctor bill. (Really happened) Or the customer who rips off items only to head over to the front counter to have them returned. Or the obscene drunk who demands his case of Bud at 10 in the morning and storms off in a threatening rage when denied. There is a list of names behind the front counter of people who are known to write bad checks. There are times I think the hard working clerks and managers are sooo underpaid. |

Customer service is not a lost art in small town America. Case in point: We had several inches of snow Saturday night and rather than dig the car out I walked to the grocery store a block from my house and when I realized I had more than I could manage one of the stock boys carried my stuff home for me The surprising part was that he turned down a tip for helping Reagrds from snowy NW Ohio, Jana |

Jana that is so cool that a box boy would do that. You are so lucky. I have stores here in Huntington Beach where the service is great. I go to those places often. A friend of mine works for a certain large stand alone department store . You would not believe what customers say to her. One of the latest is out of the blue a customer told her she was too old to work in a store, she should retire. The woman even came back later and said the same thing again. My friend is 61 and a real go getter , She is the manager of her department and believe me the young people that work in her department shape up or they are gone. She is a real hard worker. She has been my friend and aid in my classroom also both paid and volunteer She does have really grey hair. My favorite place here in town is a small cafe . The service and friendship there is amazing . A young man now runs it for his father who still is around on and off. We call it a Cheers with out booze. The waiters and busboys and owners are so great They know your name and even your favorite orders. A friendly place to go. Some places here I not only stare at the piercings but some people who wait on me have so many tatoos there is no real skin left. I said to some young friends a few years ago I am glad I won't be around when the skin on some of these people start to sag . I run into the most tats and piercings at the local health food store . Funny and my generation was banned from Disneyland for wearing "funny clothes and having long hair and males having long hair and facial hair. I am sounding like an old fogey this morning . I do think though there are lots of great kids around like your box boyand my cafe owner . |

The sad thing is that I have seen so many places that encourage customers to praise employees for good customer service... Customer Service is a thing of the past. The pity is that the places where you do receive the quality Customer Service is also where you typically pay the higher prices... and high prices do not guarantee either quality merchandise or quality customer service. The days of polite customers, I fear, have went the way of quality customer service. The plethra of various big box warehouse stores no longer encourages emploiyees to get to know their employees in fact the enviroment for the employee doesn't even encouage them to get to know their fellow employees. IMHO the problems in Customer Service are the fault of our MTV/pop BS culture and a lack of leadership from the corporate mgr's on down. |

What rankles me is the number of times that I say "Thank You" to the clerk after the transaction and they don't say anything. I walk away telling my wife, "I did it again. I thanked them for spending my money here!" Wish I could get in the habit of saying "Your Welcome" as I walk away but I doubt that it would make an impression.

You put your finger right on it, again, Johan. It's the leadership that makes the difference, from Susan's friend the department manager to the Commander in Chief. We've all seen the best and worst examples. Not just leadership, but commitment to training. Nobody starts out KNOWING how to be a good employee. At a government-business symposium here recently, an owner said he was happy to hire young people, but they should have at least some idea of what it means to work for a living. The owner, who is a contractor for the Department of Homeland Security, said one of his new employees spent the day talking on his cell phone. The owner told him to stop talking and start working. The kid defended himself: "But I'm using my own minutes!" He wasn't stupid, just untrained and inexperienced. I remember my own blunders as a beginner. I hope nobody else does. Patty |

Stocks edged higher to cap a turbulent November. But after a month when markets were whipsawed by the presidential election and worries about the "fiscal cliff," shares ended not far from where they started. All told, the Dow dropped 0.5% in November.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average covered 819 points from its high to low points during the month, the biggest such peak-to-trough range for any month since June. The Dow also saw the return of big daily moves. It rose or fell each day by an average of 0.7%, the most since June.
"We had a huge downdraft and then we had a massive upsurge and then ended the month kind of flat," said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer of BMO Private Bank, which oversees $65 billion. "It's emblematic of this hurry-up-and-wait mentality that is enveloping investors these days."

The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index rose 0.3% for the month, led by stocks tied to discretionary spending by consumers. The Nasdaq Composite Index jumped 1.1%.
Investors said political wrangling will likely continue to set the tone.
"The consensus in the market is that the fiscal cliff will be avoided in one way, shape or form," said Paul Zemsky, chief investment officer of multiasset strategies at ING U.S. Investment Management, which oversees $170 billion. "If there are protracted negotiations through the first quarter, that would be a real damaging event."
The Dow capped the month in tepid fashion Friday, rising 3.76 points, or less than 0.1%, to 13025.58. A late rally added some excitement to a mostly dull session, as the benchmark briefly spiked in the moments before the closing bell.
The late action likely had to do with a rebalancing of MSCI Inc. MSCI +1.47% MSCI Inc.

Shifts in major indexes force funds that track them to tweak their positions and prompt side bets by speculators who anticipate those moves.
"When you get that much extra liquidity flowing into the market, you sometimes get some more extreme price dislocation," Mr. Shea said.
U.S. lawmakers' effort to reach a budget deal by year-end again dominated the market's tone on Friday. By reaching an accord, politicians could avert a raft of spending cuts and tax increases set to start at the beginning of 2013.
House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) said talks between the White House and Congress were at a "stalemate." Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) told The Wall Street Journal he wants tighter eligibility requirements for safety-net programs.

On the economic front, U.S. consumer spending fell last month, the first decline since May, the Commerce Department reported. Personal incomes were little changed, bucking economists' estimate for a 0.2% gain.
The Chicago-area purchasing managers' index for November rose to 50.4 from 49.9 a month earlier, slightly topping economists' expectations. Readings above 50 indicate expansion.
In Europe, the Stoxx Europe 600 fell 0.2% but rose 2% on the month, its sixth consecutive monthly gain. Germany's Parliament approved new aid measures for Greece. The U.K.'s FTSE 100 edged down 0.1% but advanced 1.5% in November, also its six straight monthly gain.
Asian markets were broadly higher after data out of Japan showed a surprise rise in industrial production in October. Japan's Nikkei Stock Average rose 0.5% to close at a seven-month high. The index gained 5.8% on the month. China's Shanghai Composite climbed 0.8% but fell 4.3% in November, its worst since July.
Crude-oil prices rose 1%, to settle at $88.91 a barrel, while gold dropped 0.9%, to settle at $1,710.90 a troy ounce.
Orange juice was the best performing commodity in November, jumping 16%. Soybeans lagged behind, falling 7%. The yen tumbled 3.4% against the dollar.

Mamma Mia! - DVD
Longing to discover the identity of her true father before she exchanges her wedding vows, the daughter of a once-rebellious single mother secretly invites a trio of paternal candidates to her upcoming wedding in this feature adaptation of the beloved stage musical. Independent-minded single mother Donna (Meryl Streep) has always done her best to raise her spirited daughter, Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), while simultaneously running a successful hotel on a small Greek island, but now the time has come for this hardworking mom to finally let go. In just a few days, Sophie will be married, and Donna will stand by bittersweetly as her little girl takes flight. Of course, Donna's lifelong friends Rosie (Julie Walters) and Tanya (Christine Baranski) will both be present at the wedding, but unbeknownst to the mother, Sophie has furtively invited three very special guests of her own. When Sophie walks down the aisle on that fateful day, she wants her father to hand her off. The only problem is that Donna has never revealed the true identity of Sophie's father, leaving the resourceful future bride to narrow the list down to three potential candidates. Now, as three key figures from Donna's past return to the picturesque Mediterranean shores they all walked 20 years prior, one beautiful bride will discover the secret of her past while one lonely mother finds out that it's never too late for a little romance. Phyllida Lloyd, director of both the original London sensation as well as the hit Broadway incarnation, makes her feature directorial debut with this big-screen version of the beloved musical featuring 22 classic ABBA hits.

She plays teenager Daphne Reynolds, who lives in New York City with her musician mother, Libby (Kelly Preston). After she turns 17, Daphne is undecided about her future, so she takes off by herself to London in search of her father. She immediately meets cute musician Ian (Oliver James) before sneaking in to her father's estate to surprise him. He turns out to be Lord Henry Dashwood (Colin Firth), a fabulously wealthy aristocrat who doesn't even know that she exists. He had met her mother in Morocco and the two were married in a tribal ceremony. Upon their return to England, she left him and went back to the U.S. without ever revealing that she was pregnant. The uptight Henry is already flustered by his campaign for election, advised by doting aide Alistair Payne (Jonathan Pryce). His no-nonsense fiancée, Glynnis (Anna Chancellor), and her bratty daughter, Clarissa (Christina Cole), are threatened by Daphne's presence, thinking that she will hurt Henry's political aspirations by causing a scandal. However, the family matriarch (Eileen Atkins) takes a liking to her and she soon finds herself trying to liven things up at several stuffy aristocratic parties. Meanwhile, the evil Glynnis and Clarissa conspire against her by trying to sabotage her appearance, leading up to the conclusion at Daphne's very own coming-out party. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

I've chosen to use a title that may be a little provocative, because I feel GTD doesn't address this issue methodically enough for people like me who have a problem with overcommitment and overwhelm. Maybe I'm missing something, and all the experts here can set me straight.
Problem: Whenever I collect and process and organize, I end up with Next Action lists that are too long to have any chance of being completed, and I am paralyzed with overwhelm.
Part of the problem happens because the standard question during processing is "Is This Actionable?" Well, yes, lots and lots of things that come through my inboxes are actionable. It's easy to determine the Next Physical Action and put it on a list. Or to throw the item into a project file. But as noted above, this does not solve the problem. It just makes my Next Action lists very long.
During Weekly Review (or immediately during Processing and Organizing), I can decide to move many of those items to Someday/Maybe, or just delete them. But what about all the other items that remain?
My Next Action Lists and my Someday/Maybe list get so long, they cannot be reviewed effectively in a 2-hour weekly review. Not even in an all-day weekly review. There's just too much to review, too much to think about.
Sometimes it's easy to decide how to handle some of these things. Some of the tasks and projects are "absolutely must do this week", and I might even put them on a special Next Action @NOW list. Some of the tasks are "yeah that would be nice, if I had 48 hours in my day" and go directly to Someday/Maybe or just get deleted. Maybe half of my inputs fall into one of these categories. Those are easy to deal with.
It's the other 50% that causes the problems. Stuff where I'm not sure if it's really important or not, not sure if it ties into my commitments or not, not sure if it will cause things to fall apart if I fail to handle it. Is it "actionable"? Sure, it's often easy to determine the next physical action and put it on an appropriate list. But it's not so sure whether I should even be committing myself to this action at all. That sounds like the definition of "someday/maybe", so these items often go straight to that list. But that list gets very, very long and very difficult to review effectively.
When the lists get too long, and a 2-hour weekly review doesn't help, the whole system starts to fall apart. Please show me where, in any of the GTD books, charts, or official material, this situation is dealt with.
I looked for the keyword "overwhelm" on the GTD site, and all I found were summaries of GTD itself, such as the one here: http://www.davidco.com/faq/gtd-metho...erwhelmed-work Yes, I already do all that - but I am still overwhelmed.
There are lots of ideas on the forum (e.g. http://www.davidco.com/forum/showthr...ight=overwhelm ), but they are ideas I have found and read in many non-GTD sites and books: you need to prune your commitments, you need to learn to say no, you are just out of control, etc. Yes, all true, all good advice -- but not a systematic part of the GTD method.

The restauration of the stairwell finally completed at the Jugendstilsenteret in Ålesund
Welcome back to 1907
The museum received 1 million kroners (80.000 Eur) in grants from a private foundation for the restoration of the main staircase at Jugendstilsenteret. The target was to find and replace the original colours with original techniques and materials as far as possible back to 1907. An old fashionable material, coccolite was also discovered. Coccolite is a product of plaster, strengthened with hair from coconuts. It was not a very common material in the beginning of 20 century and was probably imported from Germany. The coccolite was both firesafe and a very strong material used indoors for walls. The wooden staircase has also been restored and repaired. It has been treated with linen oil, and gaps have been repaired with hand made iron sticks. The lighting is a copy from about 1907. The last part of the project was to make copies of the tiles in terracotta colour for the hall. Nowadays the staircase shines like the original in delicate light green colours and imitated oak on the walls.

I saw a Silverado p/u, I think the body color was same as yours (or close to) with black wheels and looked real good!
02-18-2009, 04:07 PM #5Tough call...I would lean toward the silver, but that's just my opinion
02-18-2009, 04:12 PM #6Just weigh your pros and cons. The black can probably go a little longer without being cleaned but from the pic they look like they have a sort of satin finish which would make it blend with the tire and be a little hard to seperate the two from a glance. But you like to keep your ride clean and shinny I would go with the chrome for the shine factor.

ASAPS Press Center - Medical Procedure or Commercial Commodity?
New York, NY (October 2, 2013) – Over the last decade, there has been a dramatic growth in the marketing of plastic surgery services directly to the public. Treating plastic surgery as a commercial product instead of a medical service represents a major departure from traditional patient care, with significant implications for physician ethics, patient safety and the essential doctor-patient relationship.

Yesterday, 6:03 pmObamacare Hoses Fire Depts.
(Received this in an e-mail, can't find it anywhere on snopes so here goes):
Obamacare Hoses Fire Depts.
As has been thoroughly rehashed, ObamaCare requires employers to offer health insurance to employees who work more than 30 hours (considered "full time" in the Obama economy). That's caused many employers to reduce hours to spare unbearable costs. Now comes news that volunteer fire departments around the nation may close because of the regulation unless a waiver is granted. Evidently, the IRS says that volunteer firefighters are eligible for benefits if on the job more than 30 hours per week. Some 71% of fire departments nationwide are manned entirely by volunteers, and another 16% are mostly volunteer. Just another chapter in ObamaCare Games: Catching Fire.
December 10, 2013, 7:35 pm'Twas the month before Christmas...
Twas the month before Christmas
When all through our land, Not a Christian was praying Nor taking a stand. Why the PC Police had taken away The reason for Christmas - no one could say. The children were told by their schools not to sing About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things. It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say December 25th is just a ' Holiday '. Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it! CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-Pod Something was changing, something quite odd! Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda. As Targets were hanging their trees upside down At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be found. At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears. Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-is-ty Are words that were used to intimidate me. Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton ! At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter. And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded The reason for the season, stopped before it started. So as you celebrate 'Winter Break' under your 'Dream Tree' Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me. Choose your words carefully, choose what you say Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS, not Happy Holiday ! Please, all Christians join together and wish everyone you meet MERRY CHRISTMAS! Christ is The Reason for the Christ-mas Season! If you agree please forward, if not, simply delete. |

After welcoming his replacement and showing the courtesies (gin and tonic, cucumber sandwiches) that protocol decrees, the retiring colonel said, "You must meet Captain Smithers, my right-hand man, God, he's really the strength of this office. His talent is simply boundless."
Smithers was summoned and introduced to the new CO, who was surprised to meet a toothless, hairless, scabbed and pockmarked specimen of humanity, a particularly unattractive man less than three foot tall.
"Smithers, old man, tell your new CO about yourself."
"Well, sir, I graduated with honours from Sandhurst, joined the regiment and won the Military Cross and Bar after three expeditions behind enemy lines. I've represented Great Britain in equestrian events and won a Silver Medal in the middleweight division of the Olympics. I have researched the history of..."
Here the colonel interrupted, "Yes, yes, never mind that Smithers, the CO can find all that in your file. Tell him about the day you told the witch doctor buzz off."

October 30, 2013, 12:03 amMoe Berg
In Tokyo , garbed in a kimono, Berg took flowers to the daughter of an American diplomat being treated in St. Luke's Hospital--the tallest building in the Japanese capital. He never delivered the flowers.The ball-player ascended to the hospital roof and filmed key features: the harbor, military installations, railway yards, etc.
Eight years later, General Jimmy Doolittle studied Berg's films in planning his spectacular raid on Tokyo .
Catcher Moe Berg
Berg's father, Bernard Berg, a pharmacist in Newark, New Jersey, taught his son Hebrew and Yiddish. Moe, against his wishes, began playing baseball on the street aged four. His father disapproved and never once watched his son play. In Barringer High School , Moe learned Latin, Greek and French. He graduated magna cum laude from Princeton—having added Spanish, Italian, German and Sanskrit to his linguistic quiver, During further studies at the Sorbonne, in Paris, and Columbia Law School he picked up Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Indian, Arabic, Portuguese and Hungarian—15 languages in all, plus some regional dialects.
While playing baseball for Princeton University , Moe Berg would describe plays in Latin or Sanskrit.
Tito's partisans
During World War II, he was parachuted into Yugoslavia to assess the value to the war effort of the two groups of partisans there. He reported back that Marshall Tito's forces were widely supported by the people and Winston Churchill ordered all-out support for the Yugoslav underground fighter, rather than Mihajlovic's Serbians.
The parachute jump at age 41 undoubtedly was a challenge. But there was more to come in that same year.
Berg penetrated German-held Norway , met with members of the underground and located a secret heavy water plant—part of the Nazis' effort to build an atomic bomb. His information guided the Royal Air Force in a bombing raid to destroy the plant.
The R.A.F. destroys the Norwegian heavy water plant targeted by Moe Berg.
There still remained the question of how far had the Nazis progressed in the race to build the first Atomic bomb. If the Nazis were successful, they would win the war.
Werner Heisenberg—he blocked the Nazis from acquiring an atomic bomb.
Moe Berg's report was distributed to Britain's Prime Minister,
Winston Churchill, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and key figures in the team developing the Atomic Bomb.
Roosevelt responded: "Give my regards to the catcher."
Most of Germany 's leading physicists had been Jewish and had fled the Nazis mainly to Britain and the United States .
October 16, 2013, 7:52 pmReality check
Received in e-mail. I don't think this would surprise any of us (except the most .............)
I have worked in the government on and off for 40 years. During that time I became quite familiar with requisitions, bidding, awarding contracts etc. It is a time consuming process with bean-counters and bureaucrats every step of the way. The simplest request takes months, not days, or hours.
In less than 8 hours of the shutdown, miraculously, professionally printed 3X4 foot signs appeared all over the country in the tens of thousands saying-"this [park, facility, etc. with custom logos] closed due to government shutdown. There has not been a government shutdown in 17 years.
These signs were designed, specifications were determined, signs were then requisitioned, bids were posted and vetted, government contracts were awarded.The materials were then ordered and the signs manufactured then distributed by U.S. Mail or freight companies.
This shutdown was orchestrated and planned well in advance at least 6-8 month ago. Millions of tax dollars were appropriated and spent in this process. There is a paper trail a mile long leading directly to one or more branches of the federal ( do nothing constructive ) government.

September 27, 2013, 1:00 amAffordable care, yeah sure...
From an e-mail:
Due to The Affordable Care Act---my old plan won't even be available. The closest plan I can get includes prescrip., maternity, and fertility, (those 3 things will be in EVERY new plan that EVERY American will get---even though I will never be pregnant and will never need fertility treatments? The new plan will be 70/30 and a slightly higher deductible. And the monthly cost-------$905.
So, I get a way worse plan, with worse coverage, and pay more than double what I paid before. Real !$^!*^! affordable!!!!
September 23, 2013, 2:21 amSmoking koala
"Smoking Koala"
A koala was sitting in a gum tree smoking a joint
Whena little lizard walked past, looked up and said, 'Hey Koala! What are you doing?'
The koala said, 'Smoking a joint, come up and have some.'
So the little lizard climbed up and sat next to the koala where they enjoyed a few joints. After a while the little lizard said that his mouth was 'dry' and that he was going to get a drink from the river.
The little lizard was so stoned that he leaned over too far and fell into the river.
A crocodile saw this and swam over to the little lizard and helped him to the side. Then he asked the little lizard, 'What's the matter with you?'
The little lizard explained to the crocodile that he had been sitting with the koala in the tree, smoking a joint, but got too stoned and fell into the river while taking a drink..
The crocodile said that he had to check this out and walked into the rain forest, found the tree where the koala was sitting finishing a joint. The crocodile looked up and said,
'Hey you!'
So the koala looked down at him and said,
Holy #&^*!
How much water did you drink!?'

September 14, 2013, 2:42 amPraying to the Lottery Gods
From the book Burying the Secret, The Road to Ruin Is Paved with Books About the Law of Attraction
by Carol Rutter
Praying to the Lottery Gods
My lotto fantasies date back to the 1970s. At that time, I would condo shop before the drawing and it went rapidly downhill from there. I used to (half-) jokingly say that the "lottery gods must be really backlogged and they will get to me next time". So I have a history of frittering away a lot of thoughts and energy on something that has not materialzed and probably never will despite years on end of practicing affirmations according to the law of attraction.
Those of us who have not read The Secret probably found the last story a bit harebrained. However, The Secret features a few similar gems here and there, written by some of its 24 contributors. Of course, the comparable, goofy stories recounted in The Secret produced a full manifestation of whatever had been desired. Therefore, I should have won $10 million many times over by now, according to The Secret. In any case, a steadfast belief in the law of attraction predisposes some devotees to temporarily abandon their good sense so they can pursue monumental dreams.

Obama Slashes Pay Raises for Military
President Obama has told Congress he will cap next year's pay raise for U.S. military personnel at 1 percent instead of boosting pay by 1.8 percent as called for by a federal law.
The president's move will negatively impact American combat troops scheduled to remain in Afghanistan through 2014.
The federal law says military pay raises must be based on the Employment Cost Index compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which ties military raises to private sector pay growth. Under that formula, military personnel should be getting a 1.8 percent pay raise beginning in January 2014, CNS News reported.
But the law also states that the president can inform Congress of an alternative pay adjustment "if because of national emergency or serious economic conditions affecting the general welfare, the president considers the pay adjustment which would otherwise be required by this section in any year to be inappropriate."
Obama wrote to congressional leaders: "I am strongly committed to supporting our uniformed service members, who have made such great contributions to our nation over the past decade of war. As our country continues to recover from serious economic conditions affecting the general welfare, however, we must maintain efforts to keep our nation on a sustainable fiscal course."
He also asserted that his decision "will not materially affect the federal government's ability to attract and retain well-qualified members" of the military.
The House passed a bill in July authorizing the 1.8 percent raise, but the Senate has set the raise at 1 percent as recommended by Obama.
Military pay rose 1.7 percent this year and 1.6 percent in 2012.
Retired Air Force Col. Mike Hayden, director of government relations for the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA), calculated that the reduced pay raise could cost an officer with 10 years of service about $52 a month next year, or $8,000 over the remaining years of his or her career. It would also cost a service member $20,000 in retirement pay.
Hayden wrote on the MOAA website: "Over the past 12 years, Congress worked hard to fix the 13.5 percent pay gap (and resulting retention problems) caused by repeatedly capping military raises below private-sector pay growth in the 1980s and 1990s.
"History has shown that once Congress starts accepting proposals to cap military pay below private-sector growth, pay caps continue until they have weakened retention and readiness."
