Finally after all these years of delays, disappointments, missed deadlines, missed targets,... Boeing is nearing certification and first delivery of their two new flagships, the B787 and B748.
This topic is intended to collect the most important news about these two aircraft in the comming weeks and months (so no need to open a new topic for 787 or 748 news).
I will begin with the news from last week (probably most of you already know these things, but anyway):
- In early June F&R (Functionality and Reliability) and ETOPS testing will begin on the B787. For these tests the 787's will operate as if it is in commercial service, simulating failures/problems to see how the 787 handles this. ZA102, the 9th build 787 will have an important stake in these tests. This aircraft is reworked the previous weeks to bring it completely to the delivery standards. It's the first production aircraf to be completely finished as it should be. This will probably also be the first B787 delivered to ANA. ETOPS and F&R testing will take a month or a bit more.
- Testing on the RR 787 is finished for 96%, the GE 787 is finished with 75% of its testing.
- The FAA has to give a Type Inspection Authorization (TIA) before F&R and ETOPS testing can begin, but this should happen in the comming days/weeks.
- As from 4 July ZA002 ( the second test aircraft wich is in ANA colors) will conduct SRVO (service ready validation operations) testing in Japan for ANA out of Haneda Airport. It will undergo maintenance by ANA staff, ground service operations, refuelling,...
- B747-8F still has to start F&R testing, the start of these tests depends on the approval by the FAA of a design change of the Honeywell flight management software. Boeing expect to start F&R testing in the comming days.
- RC503, one of the five B748F test aircraft is send to Lackland to undergo required rework before delivery to Cargolux. This is the first B748F to end testing.
- Testing of the B747-8i is going very smooth aswell. The -8i would operate around 600 test hours and they currently already did more than 240 hours.
- B787 production is currently at two per month, will to to 2.5 this summer. Boeind don't want to go up with production before first delivery because they already have so many unfinished 787's waiting for rework and delivery.
- First 787 in Charleston will be a 787 for UA/CO and production will start in July. At least, let's hope so, the unions wich represent the workers at the Everett production plant went to court to avoid Boeing building 787's in Charleston.
- The horizontal stabilizer of the B787-9 will be build by Boeing itself in Seattle. Alenia wich is building the horizontal stabilizer for the B787-8 messed it up and caused even more delays, so they will lose the contract for the 787-9. But there might be a problem, Alenia owns the design of the horizontal stabilizer, but it's not clear if they also own the design of the B787-9 horizontal stabilizer wich is slightly different.
- A longer B787 variant is now named the B787-10X and Boeing said it's an aircraf they will normally do in the comming years (not sure when as they avoid different big projects at the same time: see 787/748). It would be a 6m stretch of the 787-9 wich would give it 43 more seats than the 270-290 seat 787-9. Normally they will keep the -9 wing so the range will be lower than the 787-9, but still attractive for many routes. The B787-10X would be something like the A330-300, a large medium-long range aircraft. Many airlines are interested in this, that's why Boeing never let go the idea of the 787-10X.
- JAL will start a new route from Tokyo Narita to Boston with the B787 in April 2012. This route was impossible before but thanks to the long range of the 787 and the limited capacity Boston will finally get its first link to Asia.
- Norwegian takes over 3 of the 4 B787-8's ordered by Icelandair. This makes a total of 5 B787-8's for Norwegian wich decided last year to lease two ILFC B787-8's. Deliveries of all 788's will run from 2012 to 2015. New York and Bangkok were named by Norwegian as possible future long haul routes.
- Today it was also in the press that China Southern will indeed get its first 787 in the last quarter of this year. So they will get two new flagships this year, their first A380 and B787.

(RNN) – If Merriam-Webster is the standard on whether a word jumps from slang to acceptable speech, "staycation" passes with flying colors.
Joining other pop culture terms like "frenemy" and "flash mob," the staycation is now embedded in both the pages of the world's most respected dictionary and the lexicon of countless travelers looking for a getaway on the cheap.
But what, exactly, is a staycation? And why has it become so popular in recent years?
The simple answer: money.
Staycations offer simple, cost-effective ways to enjoy downtime and provide an extended outing to your family.
The idea is to find something unique to do that's within your area or even in your own hometown.
Some staycationers – yes, that's an actual word, too – don't even leave their houses.
Tips for staycations are all over the internet, but here are a few pared down to give you the best experience possible:
1. A staycation is not an excuse to do housework – You can pick another weekend to clean out the garage. Besides, the point is to do something that relaxes you. If you want to get your hands dirty, find some internet lessons on pottery making.
Hard as it may be for some, try turning off your phone and TV and don't answer emails to avoid distractions.
2. Travel thousands of miles without leaving your front door - Instead of saving up to go to your dream destination, bring it to you. Dress up your house in the theme of a country and cook native food for a few days or the entire week. This is also a really fun and educational tool for your kids.
3. Go museum hopping – Don't automatically think of high art and rooms so quiet you can hear your heart beating. Some towns have really cool museums that honor everything from guns and transportation history to music and movies. Even traditional art museums have summer exhibits on really interesting topics.
After a few hours on your feet, why not have a picnic on the museum grounds?
4. Think outside the box - Staycationidea.com suggested a trip to Alcatraz for those who live in the San Francisco area. There are even plans in the works to provide overnight stays on the island. Hmmm.
If you're adventurous and creative, and just a little bit wacky, a boot camp experience or a fantasy sports camp might be up your alley.
5. Learn more about your hometown – Every place has a story and at least one small claim to fame. Try looking through newspaper archives and interviewing longtime residents of your town. Use what you found to map out a tour of the area.
6. Research your genealogy – Not only is this a good way to find out more about what makes your identity, it's practically free. If your family has strong local ties, you could integrate visits to places your ancestors lived.
7. Don't forget the kids –Most kids are creative enough to entertain themselves when there is virtually nothing to do, so use that to your advantage. Talk to them about what they've learned in school, and try to find a way to make that come to life. It will take financial pressure off you, and it will reinforce their education in the process.
8. Get some help – Livingsocial.com lists restaurants, shops and other attractions that you can search by city, and it offers significant discounts. Sutro Media sells iPhone apps for just about every major U.S. city. You can use them this summer or year-round to find things in your town you've never heard of.
9. Take a camping trip – This was the ultimate staycation before the term even existed. It's simple, fun and it can literally be done in your backyard.
10. Read until you pass out – Make a list of all the classics or quirky comedies you never got around to reading, make a pile by your favorite chair and have at it. Realsimple.com suggested making a personal dictionary of unique words or phrases that you like. If that's not your style, an alternative is to create a personal film festival.

Machine Learning, Machine Vision, and the Brain
The problem of learning is arguably at the very core of the problem of intelligence, both biological and artificial. In this article, we review our work over the last 10 years in the area of supervised learning, focusing on three interlinked directions of research -- (1) theory, (2) engineering applications (making intelligent software), and (3) neuroscience (understanding the brain's mechanisms of learnings) -- that contribute to and complement each other.

1 Solar system: Along Route 1, between the University of Maine at Presque Isle and the Houlton Information Center at the end of Interstate 95.
2 Golf champ: Abby Spector Kershner of Waterville. Her playing career was curtailed after complications from heart surgery affected her motor skills and vision. Since then, she has been a golf course assistant pro and was inducted in the Maine Golf Hall of Fame in 2007.
3 Wildlife refuge: Aroostook National Wildlife Refuge. It was established in 1998 when 4,700 acres were transferred from the U.S. Air Force to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The refuge also administers some 2,400 wetland conservation easements throughout Aroostook County.
4 Bill Carrigan: He was a catcher and manager for the Boston Red Sox, leading them to two World Series wins in 1915 and 1916. On his pitching roster for those two wins was Babe Ruth.
5 Cranberry Isles: Five islands: Bear, Sutton, Baker, Great Cranberry, and Little Cranberry, also known as Islesford.
6 Cone and tassel: It is Maine's state flower and was adopted by the state legislature in 1895. The tree's needles are soft, flexible, and bluish-green to silvery green and are arranged in bundles of five.
7 Kebo Valley: In 1911, William Taft played the course, taking twenty-seven strokes to complete the par-4 seventeenth hole. It has since been called the Taft Hole.
8 English arrow: Because of a shortage of trees in Britain for ship masts, a 1691 English law required Colonial pines measuring twenty-four inches or more in diameter within three miles of water to be marked with an arrow, reserving them for the Royal Navy.
9 Portsmouth shipyard: Although Seavey Island was long deemed to be in Kittery, a claim by New Hampshire that it rightly belonged to Portsmouth was resolved in Maine's favor in 2001 by the U.S. Supreme Court.
10 Fernald Law: In 1909, the Maine Legislature passed the Fernald Law, making it illegal to export hydroelectric power outside state boundaries. The law was designed to boost Maine businesses while dampening competition from factories and mills in Massachusetts.
11 Longest whitewater: The Dead River. It provides sixteen miles of whitewater through remote timber country. Among its many rapids, Poplar Hill Falls is the longest and offers a memorable one-mile run of churning, fast-moving water. Rafters frequently run the river from just below Grand Falls, through Class IV and V rapids, to the confluence of the Kennebec River in The Forks.
12 Red Paint People: They lived more than four thousand years ago along the coast of Maine and in a few other northeastern locations. They were so named because their gravesites contain quantities of brilliant red ocher, a mineral from which paint can be made.
13 First naval battle: It occurred in 1775 off the coast of Machias, near Fort O'Brien, when the British ship Margaretta was captured by American patriots.
14 Equator and North Pole: Perry. In 1888, U.S. Geological Survey employees in Maine, establishing a line of coastal "benchmarks," placed an additional temporary marker at the point where the 45-degree line of latitude crosses Route 1 in Perry.
15 Elected to houses of Congress: Margaret Chase Smith.
16 Largest whirlpool: Old Sow, which lies off the shore of Eastport. People who successfully cross its roiling waters automatically become members of the Old Sow Whirlpool Survivors' Association.
17 Abbie Burgess: She tended lighthouses for thirty-eight years at Matinicus Rock and the White Head Light stations.
18 Desert of Maine: A forty-acre sand dune near Freeport. It has been a tourist attraction since 1917 and was the result of poor farming practices two centuries ago that destroyed the topsoil, exposing the glacially deposited sand below.
19 Lighthouse in movie: Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth. (Although the film is set in the Pacific Northwest.)
20 Motor iceboat: A forerunner of the snowmobile.
21 Highest point: 1,530-foot Cadillac Mountain.
22 Candlepin bowling: Dot Petty of Portland.
23 Gulf Hagas: Nicknamed the Grand Canyon of Maine, it is a four-mile-long gorge within the Hundred Mile Wilderness east of Moosehead Lake, replete with waterfalls, chutes, and pools.
24 Bangor stadium: The Shawn T. Mansfield Stadium. It is named for a Bangor youth who lost his battle with cerebral palsy.
25 Largest revolving globe: At the DeLorme Mapping Co. in Yarmouth. Named Eartha, the globe is housed in a three-story glass atrium and measures forty-one feet in diameter.
26 Sea parrot: The Atlantic puffin. The bird is called that because of its colorful, parrot-like beak.
27 Admitted to Union: In 1820, as the twenty-third state.
28 Longfellow: His first poem was published by a local newspaper at age thirteen.
29 Arctic Circle: The schooner Bowdoin. It was built in 1921 and is owned and operated today by the Maine Maritime Academy.
30 State soil: Chesuncook, derived from glacial sediment and widespread in northern Maine. It has good texture and drainage qualities.
31 Lobster: True.
32 Paul Bunyan: The legendary (and mythical) woodsman's statue in Bass Park stands thirty-one feet high.
33 Shed hunting: Each year deer and moose shed their antlers in fall and early winter and if you find one you get a trophy for your den.
34 Best-selling liquor: Allen's Coffee Brandy.
35 "Calais" pronounced: The city of Calais, despite being named for the French channel port, sounds like callous. In other name news, Bangor is Bang-gore, Damariscotta is Dam-ur-scotta, and the town next to Biddeford is pronounced Sah-co. Old timers agree that you don't pronounce the second "w" in Woolwich (it's an English thing). Madrid is pronounced MAD-rid, not Ma-DRID, and Vienna is Vy-enna, not Vee-enna.
36 Chester Greenwood Day: Greenwood invented earmuffs in the western mountain town in 1873.
37 Moxie: Druggist Augustin Thompson, of Union, concocted Moxie as a "nerve tonic" in 1876. The odd-tasting soft drink — now made in Atlanta — is honored each summer with a Moxie Festival in Lisbon Falls.
38 Invented mousetrap: Sangerville native Hiram Maxim, who also invented the machine gun.
39 Rays of sun hit: It varies. For part of late fall and winter, the first rays of sunlight strike Cadillac Mountain. For much of spring and summer, Mars Hill is the first part of the U.S. mainland to see the sun. West Quoddy Head gets its chance for a few weeks in June and December.
40 Moses Neptune: Neptune reportedly was the last Allied soldier killed before the World War I truce of November 11, 1918, took effect in France. He was downed by a bullet from a sniper as the bells were ringing to signal the armistice.
41 Stanley Steamer: The Stanley "Steamer" was a steam-powered automobile developed by twins Francis Edgar Stanley (1849–1918) and Freelan O. Stanley (1849–1940), born in Kingfield. Francis died in 1918 when he drove his car into a woodpile while attempting to avoid a farm wagon.
42 Won Olympic marathon: Freeport native Joan Benoit Samuelson, at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
43 Other names for Maine: Ligonia and Columbia.
44 First guide: Ms. Cornelia Thurza "Flyrod" Crosby on March 19, 1897.
45 State's motto: "I lead."
46 Sixteen counties: Aroostook, Franklin, Piscataquis, Somerset, Penobscot, Washington, Oxford, Androscoggin, Kennebec, York, Cumberland, Sagadahoc, Lincoln, Knox, Waldo, Hancock.
47 Why called Calendar Islands? Early explorers claimed there were as many islands as there were days in the year, and the myth persists today. The United States Coast Pilot lists 136 islands. Other sources claim about 220, depending on what is counted as an island.
48 Buried treasure: Jewell Island in Casco Bay is most commonly mentioned as the pirate's hiding place, but before he was hanged he gave his wife a piece of paper with the numbers 44-10-66-18, which have been interpreted as the latitude and longitude of Deer Isle. Richmond Island and Squirrel Island have also been mentioned.
49 Smallest county: Sagadahoc, at 254 square miles.
50 Stowe's inspiration: Stowe was sitting in pew twenty-three of the First Parish Church in Brunswick when she reportedly had a vision of a slave's death.
51 Length of coast: Depends on who you ask. The Maine Geological Survey estimates that if Maine's jagged coastline were stretched out straight, it would run about 3,480 miles. The Maine State Planning Office says 5,300 miles, counting all tidal waterways. As the crow flies, Maine's coast is 230 miles long.
52 Number of mosquitoes: Although sometimes it seems like millions, Maine is home to about twenty species of human-biting mosquitoes.
53 Venomous snakes: Yes. Though a small number of timber rattlesnakes, considered transient, have been spotted in southernmost Maine, the state is considered the only one of the Lower 48 to have no native venomous snakes.
54 Maine Penny: It's a Norwegian silver penny found in 1957 at the archeological remains of an American Indian settlement at Naskeag Point on Penobscot Bay. The coin is one of the few pre-Columbian Norse artifacts found in the United States and is generally regarded to be genuine.
55 Oldest fort: Old Fort Western in Augusta. It was built in 1754 as a fortified storehouse to support Fort Halifax to the north.
56 Statue of Wisdom: Minerva holds a pine-bough torch in her right hand and a pine cone in her left.

The entirely vegetarian menu here is brief, with tapas-sized Asian dishes like steamed dumplings, cold sesame noodles, egg rolls and absolutely delicious "fried vegetable nuggets." We have no idea what those "fried vegetable nuggets" are made of (textured vegetable protein? gluten?), but they are scrumptious. Each of the little dishes costs only two or three bucks, and two or three dishes will fill you up. Try the combination plate with a boba tea for lunch.

Product Description
Smoked Salmon Slices
Cured & Smoked in Scotland
Specially selected salmon fillets, cured with natural sea salt & gently smoked using oak & beech wood chippings.
Smoking has long been used as a means of preserving fish, and the craft of smoking is one which has been passed down through generations at our Scottish Smokehouses. It takes time, experience and the finest ingredients to make our Smoked Salmon. Each side is traditionally cured with salt for up to 26 hours, before being smoked over Oak and Beech woods for up to 13 hours to develop a wonderful smoky flavour. Once smoked, the Salmon is left to further mature before being hand trimmed and sliced.

great for £6, not sure for £12
I bought this when it was half price at £6 and have to say the taste was lovely but the packaging is a massive flaw. There are no sheets of that thin plastic wrap so you can easily separate the layers of the Salmon, it is so difficult to get the salmon out without shredding it to bits. Fine if you're just putting it in a bagel like I was but if you need it to be presentable eg for canapés, don't buy this, you peel back the plastic and it's literally one big chunk of pre-sliced smoked salmon that's near impossible to separate neatly

Good product for £6.00
I often buy smoked salmon and from lots of suppliers. This has a heavy smoked flavour and slightly oily but overall a good purchase for the price. Obviously not as good as other more expensive brands.

My final % is 71.99. Will i get it as it is on the final marks memo ? or will they make it 72 ? Will the university itself round it off to 72 or is there is any separate procedure for that ? Should we make any special request to university ?
I need 72 % coz many companies mark it as a cut off to apply for them. My friend has a final % of 74.97. He needs 2 more marks to get 75% so that he can fulfill the criteria required and apply for his desired University in abroad.
We both need 2 marks each. In 4-2 radar, we secured 60 marks (total). So, should we apply for Rc / Rv ?( any chance our marks might increase by 2) or any other suggestions ??

JEFF TIEDEMAN: Comfort on a cold day
Beef stroganoff and grilled cheese sandwich fit the bill.
It's been pretty hard to complain about the weather this winter. We've had just a smattering of snowfall — in town, you can see the grass in some places, and fields are mostly black in the countryside — and temperatures generally have been pretty mild.
But there have been a few cold days, and it looks as if we could see some below-zero readings this weekend.
And it's those kinds of days when I'm inclined to fix something that's filling as well as comforting.
And that's exactly what I did about a week and a half ago.
I had a couple of medium-sized pieces of round steak in the refrigerator that we had planned to feed to Sassy, our then-ailing 12-year-old Labrador/golden retriever cross, but she refused to eat them.
Her loss was our gain, though, in the form of a tasty beef stroganoff, one of my favorites dishes. (I can't wait to try the hearty mushroom stroganoff at Noodles and Company.)
A little background
Stroganoff is a Russian dish in which beef, onions and mushrooms are mixed in a sour cream sauce and served over noodles. And it is a classic comfort food, complete with protein, starch and veggies.
The dish dates back to the 19th century and became popular in the U.S. after World War II, when service members and Russian immigrants returning from the war brought it stateside. Beef stroganoff also was a favorite of former presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon.
I had tried my hand at stroganoff several times over the years — mostly using venison or elk, which is a good way to use wild game. But it never had turned out as good as my latest effort.
I think what made this one so good was that it was a combination of two recipes that each contained different favorite ingredients of mine (Worcestershire sauce, cooking sherry, tomato paste, broth and cream of mushroom soup).
As with most stroganoff recipes, the two I chose from contained a lot of fat and calories. But I was able to slim my version down a bit by just making a few changes.
Instead of a stick of butter to brown the onion and garlic in, I used just 2 tablespoons. Some beef broth was substituted for part of the cup of half-and-half that was called for, and I used light sour cream and reduced-sodium cream of mushroom soup.
Grilled cheese, too
When chatting with one of my friends recently, he said a grilled cheese sandwich and a bowl of tomato soup is one of the most satisfying meals he can think have when the weather turns nasty.
I agreed with him and said that he was in good company.
Several former presidents have counted grilled cheese sandwiches among their favorites.
George W. Bush likes grilled cheese sandwiches made with Kraft singles and white bread. Two of the Carter family's sandwich favorites included country ham with Cheddar cheese and grilled Cheddar with bacon and tomato.
And a typical luncheon in the Kennedy family's quarters on the occasional days when there was no state function often featured grilled cheese sandwiches.
I guess it just goes to show you that while we don't always see eye to eye with our country's leaders, we do have one thing in common — comfort foods.

Project Peanut, as the PILOT was called before it was made public, was presented to the Commission by Doug Berry, vice president for economic development at the Cleveland/Bradley Chamber of Commerce on Monday.
"We're always looking at ways we can successfully bring in businesses," Berry said.
Mars Chocolate North America is investing approximately $67 million in the project.
The expansion is estimated to create 38 full-time positions at the plant.
According to Berry's estimates, the expansion will also create up to 142 indirect jobs.
These jobs are projected to create $2.5 million in direct salaries and benefits, and $4.7 million being paid to those in the jobs created indirectly.
Berry said the Industrial Development Board and the Economic Development Council work continually on ways to negotiate PILOT agreements.
The Mars expansion PILOT was a little different because it involved equipment, which falls under the personal property taxes for the county.
Under the PILOT agreement, the company will be exempt from taxes on the equipment, and pay half of what would normally be paid. The agreement would remain in effect until December 2018.
First District Commissioner Ed Elkins said the equipment would not bring in any revenue after the PILOT because of state depreciation limits.
The expansion may also have an impact on residential property tax.
"It should result in an increase in home buying," Berry said.
He projected the county and the city of Cleveland would see an increase of $72,238 in residential property tax as a result of the expansion.
Approval of the PILOT was placed on the agenda for Monday's noon voting session.
- A sewer agreement with the Bradley County Schools for the proposed Hopewell fire station to connect to the school's lines and a contract in relation to veterans home funding were also placed on the agenda.
- Also during the meeting, commissioners heard a report from environmental officer Joe Renner. The environmental office currently has 68 open cases. First District Commissioner Terry Caywood said he would like to see the Commission discuss ways it could give the officer more leverage in holding property owners accountable for complying with requests.

I write this post with trepidation It's a gross departure from what Staffer's Book Review has been about since day one. Nevertheless, the new job, the death of my father-in-law, Christmas, an increasingly needy three year old, and my general slacking of my duties as a blogger, has found me desperately far behind in my reviewing. In an effort to catch up, and get back on top of my pile, I present my "as-yet-unreviewed-reading-log-from-late-November-to-February", or at least half of it:
Rapture by Kameron Hurley — Of all the books on this list, Rapture is the one I'm most comfortable reviewing in a few sentences. That's mostly because I've done nothing but sing Kameron Hurley's praises with the previous two volumes God's War and Infidel. Rapture continues the pattern and provides a tremendous ending to the series. I can't help mentioning that there are moments in all of Hurley's books that will scour your soul with moments of utter bleakness.… Read the rest

President Obama has made clear that he's determined to continue pushing his "progressive" agenda, regardless of constitutional limitations on his power. He aims to have his way by issuing more and more executive orders.
The most ominous sign of possible things to come appeared on March 16, 2012, when President Obama signed executive order 13603 about "National Defense Resources Preparedness."
This 10-page document is a blueprint for a federal takeover of the economy that would dwarf the looming Obamacare takeover of the health insurance business. Specifically, Obama's plan involves seizing control of:
* "All commodities and products that are capable of being ingested by either human beings or animals"
* "All forms of energy"
* "All forms of civil transportation"
* "All usable water from all sources"
* "Health resources – drugs, biological products, medical devices, materials, facilities, health supplies, services and equipment"
* Forced labor ( or "induction" as the executive order delicately refers to military conscription)
Moreover, federal officials would "issue regulations to prioritize and allocate resources."
Each government bureaucracy "shall act as necessary and appropriate."
To be sure, much of this language has appeared in national security executive orders that previous presidents have issued periodically since the beginning of the Cold War.
But more than previous national security executive orders, Obama's 13603 seems to describe a potentially totalitarian regime obsessed with control over everything. Obama's executive order makes no effort to justify the destruction of liberty, no effort to explain how amassing totalitarian control would enable government to deal effectively with cyber sabotage, suicide bombings, chemical warfare, nuclear missiles or other possible threats. It's quite likely there would be greater difficulty responding to threats, since totalitarian regimes suffer from economic chaos, colossal waste, massive corruption and bureaucratic infighting that are inevitable consequences of extreme centralization. Such problems plagued fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, communist China and other regimes. Totalitarian control would probably trigger resistance movements and underground networks like those that developed in Western Europe during the Nazi occupation. Totalitarian control could provoke more political turmoil than there was in the Vietnam War era of the 1960s. There would probably be a serious brain drain as talented people with critical skills escaped to freedom wherever that might be. Canada?
There's nothing in executive order 13603 about upholding the Constitution or protecting civil liberties.
Obama's executive order seems to assume that the next war will be like World War II or World War I, where vast armies of unskilled conscripts went at each other. But current trends suggest that future conflicts are more likely to involve smaller numbers of military personnel – highly-trained professionals, perhaps thousands of miles away from a battlefield, who remotely-control drones, pilotless combat helicopters, unmanned ground vehicles, unmanned ships, mobile security robots and related military technologies.
Even if Obama's 13603 were no different than previous national security executive orders, it's more worrisome because it was issued by the president who rammed Obamacare and runaway spending bills through Congress, who racked up $5 trillion of debt and surrounded himself with hardcore "progressives" hostile to the private sector and America as we have known it.
In what circumstances, one might ask, would a president try to carry out this audacious plan?
Executive order 13603 says with ominous ambiguity: during "the full spectrum of emergencies."
Well, the United States is already in a state of national emergency declared by President George W. Bush on September 14, 2001 and extended last year by President Obama.
To better understand the potentially explosive impact of his plan, let's take a tour through the dark world of executive orders, a type of presidential power that most people know little, if anything, about.
Many presidents have pushed to expand their power beyond constitutional limits, particularly during crises. Issuing executive orders is the easiest way to do it. A president doesn't have to propose an executive order, debate the issues, endure hearings or solicit votes. An executive order can be issued in a few minutes — behind closed doors and away from bright lights.
Perhaps the reason for this executive order is in preparation for the coming dollar bubble and debt bubble bursting, which will cause complete financial chaos (including hyperinflation) in the USA.

As the article says, "President Obama, the Federal Reserve and Congress will do everything they can to not let this collapse happen before the November 2012 elections. However, they may not be able to stop it, as the markets are already reacting to failed attempts at austerity in the EU and the rising cost of debt. "
It's not so much Obama that's at fault, its the entire flawed system. If John McCain had won in 2008, we'd be facing pretty much the same problems with our government, the only difference would be the rhetoric voiced in public would be a bit different. Its not Obama, its the entire system thats corrupt. Thats why Ron Paul, whatever flaws most people think he has, needs to win.
I agree, he's heard everything as it was happening, and fought to stop it, but no one was listening. I sure hope the country wakes up, and listen's now. But they won't.
This article is too long for this medium.
This is how insane with hate you are towards Obama.
Look at your reasoning:
"There would probably be a serious brain drain as talented people with critical skills escaped to freedom wherever that might be. Canada?"
Right! They would escape to Canada, where they would finally be able to enjoy a cost effective national health care plan!
Jeez! Why didn't we just short circuit this entire mess, and simply copy Canada's health plan?
"Even if Obama's 13603 were no different than previous national security executive orders…"
Right, because, without looking them up, I can bet it's hardly any different.(or YOU, who make a living writing this bunk, would certainly tell us, and highlight the differences)
Look, you need to at least think about, and make a plan, about what you would do should something major happen, like 3 suitcase nukes, in LA, Chicago, and NY, on the same day. I don't like it, and I don't like the idea of what would happen, but guess what, we would be in a war/lockdown situation, and most of us would "know" the country was in dire trouble, and we would be thinking about the survival of our country first.
When the radiation from Fukushima makes its way around the globe a health crisis of unprecedented proportion will disrupt civilization in a way that no government and no person can prepare for. The media is covering up the full extent of this disaster and for good reason. While government in the US and Europe put the final nails in the coffin that contain our liberty the appearance of normalcy will be maintained.
When you are as concerned about governments wanting to micro-manage women's health and politicans that want to regulate what happens in private bedrooms I will take what you say seriously. Until then you're just another talking head doing mental gymnastics to defend your corporate masters.
1976: Executive Order 11921: Allows the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency to develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of production, distribution, energy sources, wages, salaries, credit, and the flow of money.
Signed by Gerald Ford…
Wow… This guy writes such a 'thorough' essay (11 pages!) on this topic, I wonder how or why he missed that one?
My favorite logical blunder of his is how there will be a flight to Canada of people looking for "freedom".
Huh? They would be going to a country with a national healthcare policy!
I thought that was the bee in his bonnet to begin with! LOL
Yes, this is essentially what happens with each major war. Factories and people are conscripted and food and goods are rationed. It's bad because war is bad, not because there's bad socialist intent.

Igor Stravinsky (Dictionary of World Biography: Twentieth Century)
Article abstract: Summarizing and consummating the history of Western music, Stravinsky, reacting against the growing chaos of late nineteenth century Romanticism, reintroduced principles of order and expanded the horizons of music.
Early Life
Igor Fyodorovich Stravinsky was born in a small resort town some thirty miles west of St. Petersburg, the capital of the Russian Empire. His father, Fyodor, first basso with a St. Petersburg opera company, was also a gifted amateur painter and well-known bibliophile. He was a man of formidable temper; the home atmosphere was not warm, nor were young Igor's school years happy ones, either emotionally or academically. His fluency in German and French owed as much to the household domestic staff and prolonged family vacations in Western Europe as to his schooling.
Stravinsky's earliest musical memories were connected with country holidays when he heard the unison singing of peasant women returning from the fields. Piano lessons began when he was nine, later followed by study of harmony and counterpoint. The teenage Stravinsky absorbed the capital's rich musical life—concerts, opera, ballet. At his family's insistence, Stravinsky entered St. Petersburg University to study law, but most of his time was devoted to musical studies under composer Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov. Rimsky-Korsakov's sons stood as Stravinsky's best men when he married his childhood friend...

Stravinsky, Igor (Contemporary Musicians)
Few composers have made such dramatic breaks from the status quo in classical music as Igor Stravinsky did in the twentieth Century. As Harold C. Schonberg remarked in The Lives of the Great Composers, "What Stravinsky represented, among many other things, was a compete rupture with Romanticism." Long considered the leader of the musical avant garde, Stravinsky developed his reputation by putting his own musical label on the classical styles of the past. His shift to Neo-classicism after World War I resulted in a series of compositions hallmarked by simplicity and restraint that were often critically praised but not favored by the public.
Stravinsky stressed that music was notes and nothing more, and that composition should be an expression of form and logic rather than passion. While his so-called "intellectual" scores often didn't strike a chord with audiences, his colleagues generally regarded him as one of the best musical technicians of his time. He also had a tremendous influence on other composers who followed him, although he had little interest in discussing his own music.
As the son of a renowned singer at the Imperial Opera in Russia, Stravinsky was surrounded by classical music while growing up. He began taking piano lessons at the age of nine, and also studied composition as a child. Trips to the ballet and opera were commonplace for the young Stravinsky, but his early training did not reveal any significant talent, nor did his compositions foreshadow his musical explorations of the future. As a teenager he became more interested in improvisation and began dabbling in composition.
A key influence of Stravinsky's early work was the famous Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, whom Stravinsky met around 1900. When Stravinsky's father died in 1902, Rimsky-Korsakov became the young man's substitute father and musical mentor as he continued with studies at law school. Stravinsky became the composer's private student in 1903 and continued in this capacity until Rimsky-Korsakov's death in 1908. One of his first big compositions, the Symphony in E-flat Major in 1907, clearly showed the influences of Rimsky-Korsakov's style. Other early influences on Stravinsky's work were Scriabin, Tchaikovsky, Debussy, and Dukas.
Serge Diaghilev, who had recently established his Ballet Russe in Paris, attended a 1908 performance of Stravinsky's Fireworks in St. Petersburg. He was so impressed by Stravinsky's work that he asked the composer to write the music for a ballet based on the Russian fairy tale of the Fire Bird. Stravinsky agreed and became famous overnight as a resuit of his Firebird, which backed choreography by Vaslav Nijinsky and received rave notices in France. Despite six decades of composing to follow, the Firebird would remain Stravinsky's most popular work. He followed this with 1911's Petrushka, which, according to Schonberg, "solidified Stravinsky's position as the coming man of European music." Quite daring for its time, this work featured a section that had two unrelated harmonies converging.
Nothing Stravinsky had done before prepared the pubic for his legendary next work, Le Sacre du Printemps (The Rite of Spring), which was also choreographed by Nijinsky. In his discussion of the work, New York Times music critic Paul Griffiths wrote, "By means of syncopation and rapid changes of metre Stravinsky did away with the regular pulse which had governed almost all Western music since the Renaissance." Most shocking about this ballet was its reception at its premiere, where members of the audience jeered and booed during the performance. Schonberg explained the response by writing, "Hardly anybody in the audience was prepared for a score of such dissonance and ferocity, such complexity and such rhythmic oddity." In a single stroke, Stravinsky had thrown out the time honored standards of harmony and melody and created a new set of musical values.
A Change of Style
Prevented from returning to his native land due to World War I, Stravinsky and his family moved to Switzerland. After the Bolshevik revolution in Russia, he lived in France and soon encountered financial trouble, as funds had been cut off from Russia. Money problems forced Stravinsky to curtail his composing time by working more often as a performing musician and conductor. At this point he began composing a different type of music, focusing on concise works for small groups of instruments rather than majestic scores for large orchestras. One of these was a folk-tale piece composed in 1918 called Histoire du Soldat, which was an early example of musical theater. Based on a Russian tale about a deserting soldier, the piece used the services of a narrator, two actors, a dancer, and seven instrumentalists, while featuring a ragtime number and a chorale. Other notable Neo-classical works that he composed around this time include the Symphonies of Wind Instruments in 1921, a one-act opera entitled Mavra in 1922, and the cantata Les Noces (The Wedding) in 1923. Up to this time many of his pieces still drew heavily on the folk tales of Russia, but eventually his music left that heritage behind.
With his music after 1920 labeled as abstract and cosmopolitan, Stravinsky never again had the impact on audiences that he did with his Russian ballets. This was no surprise to him; he did not expect his antisentimental works to cater to the general public. By now his music was much more controlled and featured a strict economy of composition and little bombast. This approach was considerably evident in his oratorio called Oedipus Rex, composed in 1927. His Violin Concerto in the early 1930s was also an example of traditional musical forms put through Stravinsky's ultra-modern filter. His evolution during this period created two schools of thought among critics, one side admiring his newly found simplicity and restraint, the other yearning for the urgency and energy of his previous composition. The composer made his thoughts quite clear in his 1930 autobiography: "I consider that music is, by its very nature, powerless to express anything at all.... The phenomenon of music is given to us with the sole purpose of establishing an order in things."
In the 1930s Stravinsky was devoting much of his attention to religious works. He wrote a Symphony of Psalms for chorus and orchestra in 1930, and his late 1930s Symphony in C was, according to him, written to honor God's glory. During this decade he also found himself more in demand in the United States. He had visited America in 1925 and conducted the New YorkPhilharmonic Orchestra, and in 1935 he returned there to conduct a number of major American orchestras.
Tragedy struck the Stravinsky family in the late 1930s. The death of his daughter of tuberculosis in 1938 was followed the next year by the death of his wife. The composer then lost his mother three months later. As World War II began to gain steam in Europe, he moved to the United States, which remained his home for the rest of his life. After settling in Hollywood in 1939, he received a number of requests to compose music for films, but little became of them. His most significant work during his first decade in the U.S. was the very dynamic Symphony in Three Movements completed in 1945. He also composed his Mass for chorus and woodwinds in 1948 for use in church services.
Lost Status in Avant Garde
In the U.S. Stravinsky reconnected with the Russian-born choreographer George Balanchine, with whom Stravinsky had worked previously in Europe. They formed a successful partnership in ballets, including 1948's Orpheus. Stravinsky's greatest post-World War Il success was an opera collaboration with W.H. Auden and Chester Kallman entitled The Rake's Progress, which premiered in 1951 and gained international popularity. By this time Stravinsky had lost his position as leader of the avant garde, being upstaged by the rising popularity of Austro-Hungarian Arnold Schoenberg's 12-tone techniques and the school of serialism (a musical style whereby a series of different notes is used as the basis of a whole composition). For many years he had condemned serialism, but then had a change of tune in the 1950s due partly to increasing exposure to younger European composers resulting from the European premier of The Rake's Progress. He was also urged to explore serialism by his friend Robert Craft, an American conductor who had a major influence on Stravinsky in his later years. Stravinsky dabbled with serial elements in a ballet score for Agon, commissioned by Lincoln Kirstein and Balanchine in 1957. Other serial works included Threni in 1958 and Movements for Piano and Orchestra in 1959. Some critics attacked the composer's embracing of serialism as just a stunt to regain his status in the avant-garde world, but few of Stravinsky's works in this vein have had any staying power in the musical repertory.
In 1962 Stravinsky returned to Russia for the first time in half a century, giving a series of concerts in Moscow and Leningrad. His visit helped eliminate restrictions against the playing of his work in the Soviet Union. Many of Stravinsky's compositions in the 1960s were elegies or sacred music, among them the Elegy for J.F.K. in 1964. He wrote his last major composition, the serialism-influenced Requiem Canticles, in 1966, most likely with consideration of his own approaching death.
The Winter of a Legend
By 1967 Stravinsky's health was deteriorating rapidly, and that year he conducted his last public performance, of the Pulcinella Suite, in Toronto, Canada. In 1968, he and his second wife moved to New York City from Hollywood, then spent three months in 1970 at Evian on Lake Geneva in Switzerland. Stravinsky died at his home in New York City the following year. Soon after his death scandal broke out regarding books he had co-written with Craft when LillianLibman, Stravinsky's personal representative, claimed that many of the details conveyed about the composer's life were fraudulent. Bernard Holland noted in the New York Times that Stravinsky "rearranged past events, experienced memory lapses (convenient or otherwise) or just plain lied."
Although he experienced many changes during his more than 65 years as a composer, Stravinsky maintained a commitment to precision and directness. As was noted about the composer in the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, "His life was a varied one, and his music too went through several changes, often startling at the time but revealing an inner consistency when viewed with hindsight."

As an instrument in the hands of God, Joseph Smith laid the foundation for the restored gospel of Jesus Christ to be taken to the world. "The truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent," Joseph declared, "till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done."1
Through Joseph, the Lord sent missionaries throughout the world. "We don't ask any people to throw away any good they have got," the Prophet explained. "We only ask them to come and get more."2
Even as Church President, Joseph Smith himself preached the gospel from Massachusetts to Missouri and into Canada. "Had a great congregation [that] paid good attention," his 1833 journal records. He continued, "O God, seal our testimony to their hearts." A week later he wrote: "I bear record to the people. The Lord gave His spirit in a marvelous manner for which I am thankful to the God of Abraham." He then noted 14 baptisms over two days.3
Joseph counseled the Saints, "Let every one labor to prepare himself for the vineyard."4

instrument in the hands of God
When the Son of God declared, "Thy will be done" (Moses 4:2), He became an instrument in the hands of His Father. We follow that pattern by serving God and one another, for "the laborer in Zion shall labor for Zion" (2 Nephi 26:31).
A symbol for a field of labor, sometimes referring to the house of Israel, the kingdom of God on the earth, or the peoples of the world in general. (The Guide to the Scriptures, "Vineyard of the Lord," 251).

It's GreatPros: I had accidentally dropped it when exiting my car, and it sat in my gravel driveway overnight in the rain. It still worked like a charm when I realized my mistake because it was snapped in the closed position. Cons: This is actually my second one. The first one I had lasted a little under a month, but I gave it a second chance and bought another one to replace it. I'm glad I did, because the first one must've been a one-time break. Did you find this review helpful? |
survived wash & dryPros: when snapped shut, its proven water tight; Cons: none so far Other Thoughts: while I don't recommend doing it, I was 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Very NicePros: great little thing! great price! 32gb! Cons: its good that its mall and compact but you can lose it easily. Make sure you attached it to a key change or something. Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: This drive is small, convenient, and has quite a bit of memory (I had upgraded from a 4gb). I feel like the end is more protected because it is a switch model and the plug is tucked away. It's easy to stick it in your pocket and not be worried about bending and/or breaking anything. Cons: The body is all plastic. It had me worried at first, like it could snap at any moment, but I felt more comfortable the more I handled it. Other Thoughts: I really liked this flash drive. Unfortunately, it had a lifespan of 2 months before it up and died. I don't mean this in a common way either, like if I bought another one of these, it would last me just fine (I think). 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Scallops in the Shell with Cream and VermouthEnjoy more of Delia's recipe collections for Autumn with Leisure Range
cookers. Find out more here |
Serves 6 as a starter |
MethodStart by slicing the white parts of each scallop into rounds about 5mm thick, and put the corals on one side. Now to poach the scallops: pour the vermouth into a deep frying pan and bring it up to a gentle simmer, then pop the scallops in and, when it comes back to simmering point, cook for exactly 30 seconds. Remove them with a draining spoon to a plate and poach the corals for 1 minute and transfer them to join the scallops (reserving the poaching liquid to make the sauce). Now melt 75g of butter in a medium saucepan and add the onion and let it cook over a medium heat for a few minutes, then add the mushrooms and some seasoning, turn the heat down and cook gently for about 15 minutes. After that sprinkle in the flour and stir to soak up all the juices, add the poaching liquid very gradually, stirring continuously till you have a thick smooth sauce, then continue to simmer gently for 4-5 minutes. After that, take the pan off the heat and stir in the extra 10g butter and the double cream, taste to check the seasoning and leave on one side to cool. When it's cooled, stir in the poached scallops and the corals, and divide the mixture among the prepared dishes. Combine the breadcrumbs with the Parmesan and sprinkle all over, before covering with clingfilm and chilling till needed. Before serving preheat the oven to gas mark 6, 200C then place the shells on a baking tray and cook on the centre shelf for 30 minutes from the fridge, or 45 minutes from frozen, until they are golden brown and starting to bubble at the edges. |

Feds grant $529,000 to North LA to aid health care law outreach
As the federal government begins its rollout of the Affordable Care Act, it also is paying health care centers at the community level to spread the word.
To that end, La. Sen. Mary Landrieu announced on Friday $529,000 in outreach and enrollment funding to hire additional workers at Louisiana health centers in North Louisiana to assist individuals and families with enrollment into affordable health insurance coverage.
The grants, including $121,000 to David Raines Community Health Center, are provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The Department of Defense emailed letters to Army Reservists stating their tuition assistance is suspended until further notice. It adds up to $4,500.
Trevor Bagley is a freshman who wants to study computer science at Salt Lake Community College.
He joined the Army Reserves to pay for school, but on Friday he got an email stating the money is no longer available.
"It's just like boom canceled," Bagley said.
Trever says he'll have to take on a third part time job and take out student loans. This is one of the latest ways the mismanagement in Washington is hurting honest hardworking people in Utah.
"One of the main reasons you join the Army Reserves is education benefits. Tuition assistance is one of the major ones," Bagley said.
Trevor is losing $3,200 this year because of this budget cut. He works as a soccer referee and at a fast food restaurant. He'll now need a third job and take out student loans to cover the cost of his 12 credits during the summer semester.

Stop insulting the military by suggesting they're not capable of overcoming base prejudice.
Here's your gift, and here's the bill.
Colin Powell said failing to ratify the treaty could leave the U.S. in a vulnerable position.
Democrats won key races in West Virginia and California to retain their majority in the Senate.
More good news for GOP in Alaska, Ohio, New Hampshire.
The bill is probably the last piece of Democrats' jobs agenda that would become law before midterms.
Obama's conference offered more hope for conciliation between disparate religions than between parties.
The federal judge's ruling against California's gay marriage ban won't help Democrats but it could be worse.
Virtually certain of losing a Senate vote, Democrats scale back a catchall tax and spending bill.

A venogram is a way to look at veins in your body using x-rays and a special dye called contrast. It is most often use to look at veins in the legs and belly area (abdomen).
Veins are not normally seen in an x-ray. That is why the special dye is used. The health care provider injects this dye into a vein so it shows up better on x-rays.
See also:
Some people may have an allergy or reaction to the dye used during a venogram. Before the procedure, tell your doctor about any allergies you may have.

My Body is an Altar
I have been working for some time now on my issues around food. Some of you may have been following my process over the past few articles. This past week I went through a profound experience in my consciousness and in my body around shame, and it pointed to some very deep issues that I didn't even know were there. In the moment of surrender and acceptance, I knelt to the ground and asked my body for forgiveness—forgiveness for all the years I had abandoned it, all the years I had mistreated it, all the years I had failed to take care of it. It would be easy to place this experience in the box called "socially constructed identity"; that is, I feel like crap because I don't look like what I see in magazines or on TV. But it wasn't that at all. I've done that work; I know how unreal those images are. Instead, this was a profound awakening to the fact that my body deserves to be loved and nourished and acknowledged. My body is an altar upon which my entire consciousness is bound and through which my consciousness transforms.
I've been using an afirmation where I acknowledge my body for the altar, the temple, it is. I acknowledge its beauty, its bliss, and I welcome my body back into being, as an expression of me and my identity. For too long I have simply been living in my head. Honestly, it's easy to go there when you're a celibate yogi living in the middle of nowhere! But meanwhile, my body has been neglected and I am living the consequences of that neglect. As I awaken to a new life, lived in deep concert and connection to my body, I invite you to do the same. There is really nothing less and nothing more to our practice as Kundalini Yogis than to embody the consciousness of grace, enlightenment and neutrality that is awakened when we wake up to our Self and live fully in our bodies.
Renew your health. Renew your practice. And love your body, for it is the altar upon which your consciousness rests and within which your heart dwells, either in peace or in pieces.

Raptors host open practice for fans to kick-off NBA season
By Kirsten Parucha
Christmas came early for Raptors fans when the city's NBA team held an exclusive open practice in Scarborough Dec. 16.
The team of ballers, accompanied by their mascot and cheerleaders, entertained a group of 300 guests for a night of interaction, integration and introduction.
The level of excitement inside the Variety Village was tangible as fans of all ages had the chance to gain one-on-one time with their favourite players who posed for pictures, signed autographs and played a little ball with ardent fans.

The event also gave guests the opportunity to be introduced to new head coach, Dwane Casey, as well as the newcomers to the team, such as forward Rasual Butler and guard Anthony Carter.
But the most anticipated introduction of all was of hometown hero, Jamaal Magloire.
Jamaal Magloire speaks to Raptors fans about new season in Toronto.
A roar of applause and a standing ovation greeted the Scarborough native as he ran onto the court and addressed the fans.
"This season we're going to pack the energy and enthusiasm of 82 games into 66," said the 11-season veteran. "In order to do that we need your support. It's going to be a great season and we thank you all for sticking by us and being patient with the lock out. We love you guys."
Following the presentation of each teammate was a show-and-tell of what goes down during a regular practice for the dinos. Team trainers and assistants demonstrated the drills and exercises the team does together to warm-up and prepare for games.
To end off the night, the boys played a pick-up game, showing the crowd a preview of what's to come for the season.

Since the five-month long lockout cancelled 16 regular season games, the 2011-2012 NBA season will consist of only 66 regular season games. Pre-season for the Raptors began Dec. 18 at the Air Canada Centre, where they'll be facing off against the Boston Celtics. The regular season tips off on Boxing Day against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

NEWbees - Beekeeping 101 / Re: Forms for keeping track of hives, queens, eggs, etc
« on: May 13, 2013, 12:46:11 PM »
You can go to HiveTracks.com, and they have an online hive inspection report that's good. You can enter stuff with a smartphone/ipad right at the hive, or later. Recommend you take a look anyway because it's other functions are really cool! I started with the Dadant hive inspection form, it's really cheap for a pad of them, then I just made copies. There are other good ideas, many on beekeeping blogs like http://www.littlehouseonthebighill.com/beekeeping/index.php?detail=129 which I've taken and customized for myself. It gives you lots of reminders about things you should be looking for when you open up your hives, and being new at beekeeping myself, I needed all the reminders I could get.
Good luck!
Good luck!
