The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Al-Jazeera Satellite Television at 1303 gmt on 17 July conducts a live
satellite interview with Nabil al-Bakkiri, journalist specializing in
Al-Qa'idah affairs, from Sanaa, to comment on the US decision to freeze
Al-Awlaqi's assets in the United States. The interview is conducted by
Tawfiq Taha and Ghada Uways.
Asked if there is anything new about the recent US decision with regard
to Al-Awlaqi, Al-Bakkiri responds by saying: "To begin with, I think the
US decision to put Al-Awlaqi on the list of international terrorists was
an expected result on the part of Al-Awlaqi and Al-Qa'idah." He adds:
"As for Al-Awlaqi, placing his name today on the terrorist list was an
expected result because it has a moral, rather than physical, impact on
He adds that the US decision, which stipulates freezing Al-Awlaqi's bank
accounts, "will not have any impact" on Al-Awlaqi because he might not
have any bank accounts in the United States.
Asked if the decision is a "prelude" to arresting Al-Awlaqi, Al-Bakkari
responds by saying: "I think Al-Awlaqi is, as of yet, wanted by the
United States, and President Obama's administration has issued a
decision and given the green light to either assassinate or arrest him.
Therefore, there is nothing new in the decision."
Asked if the Yemeni government is pursuing him, Al-Bakkari says: "The
Yemeni government does not have any other option regarding this issue
and the issue of Al-Qa'idah. It has signed security agreements with the
US Administration and is about to observe these agreements, including
pursuing and arresting suspects in connection with affiliation with the
Al-Qa'idah Organization, foremost of whom is Anwar al-Awlaqi, who has
not yet admitted that he is affiliated with the Al-Qaida Organization.
What is known about this man is that he adopts jihadist ideology and
calls for jihad against Americans, but he has not declared or claimed
that he is affiliated with Al-Qa'idah."
Asked about "the Yemeni government's failure to confront the so-called
Al-Qa'idah in Yemen," Al-Bakkiri justifies this "failure" by saying that
the Yemeni government "was vague, indirect, and confused in dealing with

This phrase, along with a handful of others, has come up along my travels in our sport. I've heard it, said it, and taken part in conversations circulating about the attractiveness of various female players and the qualities of that attractiveness when compared to the attractiveness of women as a whole (the implication being that female bike polo players are generally unattractive when compared to most women, hence polo hot suggests that a woman is hot for a bike polo player).
Today it's sticking in my throat. Today it's bothering the hell out of me.
Bike polo is pretty cool in that we have guys and gals playing side-by-side at tournaments and pickup. It's nice that we are breaking down a wall (or more appropriately, trying like hell to build a wall to start with). I've had plenty of conversations with men and women about whether women have a place in high level play (women rarely make it to the highest levels of competition), and if women in the sport would be better served with their own league.
Those are two topics that I think I've covered in the past (links below), and not the subject here. This is about a particular mindset that male polo players seem to possess. I use seem here because there has yet to be a tournament I've gone to where the hotness of a female player hasn't come up–either in a positive or negative manner (by this I mean someone shouting a quasi-sexual, positive heckle at a female player or saying to the nearby group that a particular woman was hot).
This term and the connotation behind it bother me for a few reasons. One, it's helping to build that wall of misogyny where a woman is judged first on her looks and then on her skills as a player. Second, it removes the quality of the player, making it a secondary feature of the person. Instead of being a hot female player or an ugly female player, let's focus in on the player.
I'll be the first to admit that I notice what people look like. I'm a writer, for one thing, and that means that I'm always trying to absorb people into my understanding. I am also a human, and as a human I have the inclination to be sexual. I'll even admit to you, dear reader, that I find certain players in our sport to be attractive, for to deny that would be to carve out the honesty of this post.
But even in all that, I try (try) to be hyper-aware of viewing female players as people–which of course they are. Judging the sexual attractiveness of a player (and then sharing that decision with other people) is not just a matter of what comes naturally–that's a bullshit excuse. I can find someone attractive and not reduce that opinion to the qualifier of how I a. refer to them b. think of them or c. introduce them to others.
"Polo hot" is something I'd like to avoid ever hearing again–and certainly something I try to avoid taking part in. It might seem like a tiny thing, an inconsequential observance between friends, but every single time to reduce a human to an object to be evaluated based on looks you reduce the ability of that person to be more than their body or face.
I guess what I'm getting at is this: bike polo players are not your typical sports players. We, in my experience, are more sensitive to how we treat each other. We are more aware of the world at large and are, for the most part, educated in our actions (I'm not speaking here about academics, I'm speaking of self-awareness). When we reduce someone to only their sexual potential, we are reducing the quality of our sport to be something more. It's not about shutting down your urges nor is it about treating anyone in the exact same way as everyone else–it's about deciding if you, a fellow bike polo player, wants to reduce another polo player to their looks.
I for one do not.

For a while in the postseason, it seemed like benched pitcher Brian Wilson would overshadow his more worthy Giants comrades. But then a new, more understated star talent emerged.
On November 1, 2010, minutes after he threw the pitch that won the World Series, Brian Wilson was interviewed by a reporter who prompted, "You seem emotional right now, tell me what you're feeling." Wilson stared into the middle distance and shook his head. To the uninitiated it might have looked like the beginning of a sentimental moment. Then he turned. "I'm feelin' like I wanna rage," he said, looking directly into the camera. "Right now."
Wilson had played a huge role in the Giants' 2010 season, emerging as one of the most dominant closing pitchers in baseball. He is best known, of course, for his peculiar facial hair; it was widely imitated that season in the stands by fans sporting fake beards, and it inspired the battle cry "fear the beard." Equal parts great pitcher and eccentric, he became the linchpin of an exceptionally likable roster. On the field he could be counted upon to carry the team to victory; off the field he could be counted upon to say or do something amusing and outrageous that personified San Francisco's particular brand of sports fandom. Most important, he supported his teammates, giving credit more often than taking it, and embodied the underdog, "band of castoffs and misfits" spirit of the season.
Wilson's performance—in the most theatrical sense of the word—on and off the field throughout the 2010 season helped rebuild a collective identity for Giants fans. This campaign was successful because his pitching and his persona were separate and equal: His skill, which would have been noticed regardless, justified the coverage of his antics, which were merely an amusing bonus. "Fear the beard" would not have worked if Brian Wilson had not been a pitcher to fear.
But by the beginning of the 2011 season, Wilson had reached a plateau. Fans continued to talk about his beard, accepted "got heem," (his new trash-talking catchphrase) into common parlance, and found his appearance on Lopez Tonight dressed as a sea captain hilarious. But by midseason there was a palpable sense that the Wilson meme was for the most part played out.
Wilson has now not pitched since mid-April of this year when he was placed on the disabled list after injuring his elbow and undergoing Tommy John surgery. His reliable end-of-game pitching and colorful style have been missed, but now that he isn't playing there isn't any good reason to keep talking about him. In the Bay Area, Wilson coverage has been relegated to the arena of giggling local news anchors. And rightly so—what sports broadcaster would give airtime during a game to a person who is not playing?
Fast-forward to October 15, 2012. The Giants are playing the Cardinals in game two of the National League Championship Series, which is being broadcast on Fox. Gregor Blanco is at bat in the bottom of the eighth inning, and the camera suddenly, inexplicably, pans to the dugout. "There it is," Tim McCarver says as Brian Wilson's signature facial hair comes into the frame. For the next minute and a half, as the count goes from 2-2 to 3-2 and several balls are fouled off, the game itself seems a mere distraction from the real topic at hand. Joe Buck chimes in, "If Brian Wilson was pitching, a ball in his beard would be a ground rule double. They'd never find it!" "He's got his fingernails painted—painted red! Talk about a character." "You might find Andre Dawson in that beard, like in that commercial. He is just a walking reality show." And the camera stays trained on him, as if it is, in fact, The Brian Wilson Show, as he keys along to the stadium organ on a teammate's head.

If you can drop your util from around 50% to under 5% in the same month, how long will it take for that to appear positive to a lender? I know CCs update every month, but i'm not sure you need to have low util for multiple months in a row before any impact. I would think not, but i'm not sure. This is more a matter of curiousity than anything else.
As soon as that reduced utilization hits your CR your score will go up. No waiting required.
You have to wait til your credit card statement comes out for the current month. A couple days after that, credit cards usually report. As Guiness correctly said, the instant it report to the credit agency, your score will move. Just cause you make a payment, the card doesn't automatically report to the credit agency. Usually they report once a month at most.Note: If you pay your card down to a zero balance, it may not report at all that month. If it is important to you that it reports then leave at least one dollar on your statement to be sure a statement generates and it reports..
myFICO is the consumer division of FICO. Since its introduction 20 years ago, the FICO® Score has become a global standard for measuring credit risk in the banking, mortgage, credit card, auto and retail industries. 90 of the top 100 largest U.S. financial institutions use the FICO Score to make consumer credit decisions.>> About myFICO

Health Care Act
Posted on Thursday, November 21, 2013 8:35 PM
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires most Americans to have some form of health insurance by 2014 or face a tax penalty. It also may provide you and your family with a generous subsidy to purchase health insurance.
The law is complex and the impact is far-reaching, but you don't have to figure it out on your own. We can help. Not only will we help you comply with the law, but we will ensure you receive the most benefits allowed under the law. How? Through our Healthcare Evaluation process, we will:

Bye-Bye Refund Cycle Chart - Hello Refund Tracker
No more pointing to a calendar or a chart to show taxpayers when to expect their tax refund. The beloved Refund Cycle Chart has been retired by the IRS. What?! Yes, it's true. Taking its place is a new and,
we hope
, improved "Where's My Refund?" (WMR) application, which gives taxpayers the ability to track their refunds online. We can use computers and smartphones to track Santa Claus around the globe on Christmas Eve, so it is only logical that we should be able to track our refunds in the same manner, right?

Expiring Tax Breaks Loom

Expiring Tax Breaks Loom
Taxpayers across the income spectrum – from rich to poor – are set to see tax hikes due to several expiring tax cuts and the automatic spending reductions taking place on January 1, 2013.
The expiring provisions include Bush-era cuts on wage and investment income and cuts for married couples and families with children, among others. Also expiring is a two percentage-point temporary payroll tax cut.
Congress can extend some of these expiring provisions, but their actions are not certain.

2012 is coming to an end but it's not too late to make charitable contributions. Individuals and businesses making contributions to charity should keep in mind several important tax law provisions that have taken effect in recent years. Some of these changes include the following: Special Charitable Contributions for Certain IRA Owners This provision, currently scheduled to expire at the end of 2011, offers older owners of IRAs a different way to give to charity.

Independent Contractor (Self-Employed) or Employee?
Posted on Friday, October 19, 2012 4:51 AM
Independent Contractor Defined
People such as doctors, dentists, veterinarians, lawyers, accountants, contractors, subcontractors, public stenographers, or auctioneers who are in an independent trade, business, or profession in which they offer their services to the general public are generally independent contractors. However, whether these people are independent contractors or employees depends on the facts in each case. The general rule is that an individual is an independent contractor if the payer has the right to control or direct only the result of the work and not what will be done and how it will be done.

Leave it to the Zen master of fashion to elevate a homey basic to a new level of chic, not to mention possibility. Simple as it seems, the robe inspired several inventive incarnations throughout the lineup. Consider the languid silk wrap dresses with extralong, pajama-like sleeves, and shimmery jersey styles that offered a new spin on evening. And, layered up, as in luscious velvet coats worn over a gauzy chiffon piece, it segued seamlessly into another Karan conceit: reveal and conceal. Sure, a shaggy ribbon coat worked the covered-up concept to a clumsy extreme, but when Karan mixed and matched chunky knits, like a terrific oversize alpaca sweater jacket, with wispy sheer silks, the effect was sexy but discreet for day. Less so for night, where she pumped up the peekaboos on exquisite evening gowns that were coiled and asymmetrically tied to show shoulders, backs and thighs. All that serene swathing called for a little glitz. Enter a few sheer tulle stunners draped with strands of beads, an embellishment set to the tune of the Twenties without a trace of kitschy costumery. After all, that would be very un-Zen.
Ralph Lauren: Forty years and counting, and Ralph Lauren is still the essence of refinement. Season after season he delivers, and we expect beautiful, high-polish clothes in which women can look sensational while feeling utterly themselves.
Such was the case with the collection Lauren presented on Friday, one filled with alluring clothes that drew upon some of his most iconic motifs. He showed under the glow of three imposing chandeliers with arms shaped like enormous gilded moose antlers. These hinted at the brigade of buffalo checks to come, but not before Lauren exhibited his more obviously urbane side in a slick play of lush black and charcoal cashmeres against leopard-print calfskin. This made for smart viewing, whether in a sleek herringbone dress, modish jumper or any number of terrific separates, their silhouettes kept reed-thin and racy. And he haute-ed it all up with chic feathered chapeaux.

The 'Bangladesh' Issue in India
We call them 'Miyas'. The word 'Miya' could mean two different things according to my interpretation- a group of Muslim people or the word means 'gentleman' among Muslims and used in greeting one another. In whichever form the word 'Miya' is confined, we in Nagaland have used it for our own convenience. The name has stuck and we refer to these Bangladeshi migrants in Nagaland as 'Miyas'. Miyas inhabiting rural villages of Nagaland, outskirts of Dimapur and in the commercial centers of both Kohima and Dimapur. With a rough estimation of 3.5 lakh 'Miyas' in Nagaland, we also have a fair share of them among us. They are found at construction places, 'paan' shops, grocery store and now owning big businesses too. Somewhere along their stay in the state they've also acquainted themselves to our 'Freedom Struggle', sometimes getting protection from Underground factions or rumoured to fund them whenever possible within their limits. Not forgetting that they are also our 'vote bank' for dysfunctional activities of politics and government in Nagaland.
So a little question lurks behind the enigmatic nature of these 'new' inhabitants in Nagaland: "Who are Miyas?
Bangladesh means 'country of Bengal'. Their official language is Bengali and it was Rabindranath Tagore who also composed their National anthem. Perhaps Punjab and Bengal were the worst victims of 'the Partition' of India both pre- and post-Independence days. An unforgiving vindictive mirror based on religion and Colonization's indirect influence reflects back sadly on these two states; marred into their history and formation. With a little help from her Indian friends in 1971, Bangladesh parted ways from Pakistan and called itself 'Country of Bengal'. However, Independence came with some a lesson and bitter-sweet taste of freedom as the country saw a reign of corrupt administration, which tried to nationalize everything triggering famines, poverty and also widespread corruption in the land. By 1991, Bangladesh in the 90's saw better days and had recovered some of its economy from those early hazy days of Independence. Bangladesh is the 9th most populated country and the one of the world's most densely populated places in the world.
Madhya Masaldanga- No man's land. They are a group of villages, or called 'enclaves' which belong to Bangladesh but covered on all sides by India- stuck on the wrong side of the border. Enclaves that neither India nor Bangladesh would claim as theirs. All in all about 50 Bangladeshi enclaves in India and 111 Indian enclaves in Bangladesh and people living in these enclaves.
Bangladesh is not only home to Bengalis but also to ethnic groups of people like the Choto Kumira Tripura people originally from Tripura who had migrated to Bangladesh a few centuries back, and adapted themselves to the Bengali culture, language and habits. Some Bangladeshi people have Burmese ancestry as well from Burmese migrants during The Burmese War.
Perhaps Assam, among North-eastern states of India was deeply affected by the influx of illegal immigrants into India. Their Student protests and agitations had began just nine years into the formation of Bangladesh. And it all led up to the infamous Neille massacre in Nagaon district of Assam in February 1983; recounted as perhaps one of Assam's bloodiest history of 'ethnic cleansing'. After the elections of 1983, these immigrants had joined politics, and slowly and slowly inhabited the rural regions and districts of Assam. In unofficial records Assamese people are a minority in its own land and an Islamic majority now. In 1985 the Indian government had agreed to built a fence along the Assam-Bangladesh border but it was difficult to differentiate the Assamese Muslim and the Bangladeshi Muslim. So the government yet again made another mistake while jeopardizing the Muslim minority in India. A certain 'fear' psychosis embedded in the minds of Assamese people of being overpowered in their own lands, while incidents of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants procurring voter ID cards and Indian rations were reported. Tripura, here, is also another good example. Tripura has a lot of Bengali influence yet the reality also strikes us that its tribal population has disintegrated to a 23% in Tripura. These two above examples show how much influence and effect of influx of illegal immigrants from Bangladesh have affected our demography too.
In Mizoram, resides a group of people who call themselves Chakma. However Chakmas are not considered as 'natives' of Mizoram, it is believed they have migrated from another place. They are ascribed as a scheduled tribe of India and called Chakma Autonomous District Council. The total population of Chakma and Tongchangya (another group in Mizoram) was estimated to be more than 100,000. The total population of CADC was 34,528 as per a 2001 census. Using the population census as a parameter, the growth in population of Chakmas in the state has not tallied with the natural growth rate which can suggest a huge influx of migration from another place. The interesting thing is Arunachal Pradesh also have Chakma people, whom they believe, have migrated up from Mizoram, and Mizos believe they migrated to Mizoram via Hailakandi District in Assam. Though Mizoram is strict in issuing ID cards to outsiders and other illegal immigrants from the Bangladeshi, they have found complex situation to addressed about the Chakma people in Mizoram.
Besides the North-eastern states, India have reported of immigration influx. Bangladesh migrants are the largest group of migrants in India. Constituting, on an official account, of 3,084,826 people according to 2001 census! However, media and unofficial sources have estimated even a round figure of 20 million! In West Bengal it is very difficult to differentiate one from the other as both can speak Bengali; and in trying to address the problem one also could, unfortunately, incriminate the real Indian Muslims who remained after the Partition of Pakistan and India. In West Bengal, reports and change in demography of rural places like Nandigram have been reported. Reports from Kerela State Intelligence Officials claim that the state had seen an influx of immigrants recently. Because of well paid wages for both skilled and semi-skilled workers in the state, workers claiming to be from West Bengal began streaming into the southern state. Big Indian cities, where one's identity can be hidden, are known to be ideal places for illegal immigrants in India.
But beyond this issue, human trafficking is a very thriving and threatening affect of the porous India-Bangladesh border. The Centre for Women and Children studies in 1998 recorded an estimated 27,000 Bangladeshi women were forced into prostitution in India. Some of them are further trafficked to the Middle-east, through India, for forced labour or sexual exploitation.
Under the Citizenship Act of 1955 citizenship can be acquired by:
- Birth- if one or both parents are Indian citizens and NOT illegal immigrants.
- By descent
- By registration:- But not if the person is an illegal immigrant.
- By naturalization:- If the person has lived 12 years in India over an aggregate of 14 years. How through legal means and NOT as an illegal immigrant (because there will no document about the said person).
- By incorporation of territories that India has claimed.
Under the Citizenship Act of India 1955, the interpretation of an illegal immigrant is one who has:
- Entered the country without proper documentation, authority or prescribed travel documents.
- Entered the country with proper documentation, authority or prescribed travel documents but has remained beyond the permitted time.
So our question should rather be "Who are the illegal Bangladesh immigrants in India?" "What are they doing here?" Post 15th August 1947, our history with Pakistan (Bangladesh then, East Pakistan) had become two countries. Whether on grounds of religion or other disagreements the boundaries became clear for these two countries. They are consigned themselves as two separate, individual country-members in the UN. So what we ought to understand, perhaps, is that we are dealing with an 'illegal Bangladeshi immigrant' in India. The issue is not about whether the North-east states cannot hold themselves integrated, because of disunity among its people, states etc. But rather this important and pressing issue of illegal immigrants who are streaming into India and who are NOT Indian citizens. This is a country-country issue, this is a border issue. This is directing our concentration to the porous borders of India and Bangladesh. I am even apprehensive to ask, Does India want another border-issue on its lap? Pakistan was an inevitable conflict, China could perhaps have been prevented, or taken enough measures to protect the border areas, to reassure Indian citizens in the borders of China which it had not. And with Bangladesh then, are we waiting for it to happen?

Carry-on only with 2 toddlers?
We have 2 toddlers, ages 3 and 16 mos. Is it reasonable to pack with just carry-ons? Or should I suck it up and pay the baggage fees? We have purchased 3 seats between the 4 of us. DS would get his own carry-on allotment (which I think I could fit all their clothes combined), and then DH and I each would have one in addition to our personal items. We plan to buy diapers, wipes, and food (oatmeal, snacks, etc) when we arrive- or have them delivered. We also have my parents along who will be checking a bag between them and can help wrangle our kids. We'll have access to a washer/dryer. Space is also a big issue. My parents are flying in from out of state, staying at our house for a night, then we all leave for Orlando together. My SUV (Pilot) will not be able to accommodate: 2 strollers, 3 large suitcases, carry-ons, with half the 3rd row in use. I figure 1 large suitcase and 3 small ones and carry-ons might fit. We also live over an hour from the airport so taking multiple trips or taking two cars (and having to pay to park) isn't feasible. We are renting a minivan in Orlando so on that end space won't be an issue. Thoughts? Am I just crazy to even think this might be possible?
ETA: DH and I are pretty good and just doing the carry-on thing but we don't normally try to do it on trips where the kids come along.

I could not do it, and I expect you would end up buying at lot of extra things when you get there, or ship so much extra that you would not really save anything. Remember you will need some snacks, diapers, sippy cups etc on the plane as well as some distraction things for the kids. You will need bath products, medications etc that will put you over you liquid allowance. Think about things like sleep toys etc. I think I would want at least one large checked bag. Not sure how to help as far a getting it to and from the airport. Maybe a friend would help drive you all there?

Go for it! We are a family of five (me, dh, dd, 8 and twins 3) and I'm heading down to the world with one carry on for the five of us, plus my purse and backpacks for my two girls (8 and 3). With WDW being so casual we find you need very little. I do a small load of laundry each day. Here's what we bring
me: two pair of shorts
Three tees (could get by with two, but like the variety)
I wear one of the tees, a pair of long pants, a hoodie and my jacket if it's winter)
2 socks, 2 underwear (one of each worth)
hubby: two pair shorts
three tees
pair pants and a windbreaker
2 socks, 2 underwear (one of each worn)
daughter eight: 2 pair shorts
3 tees
pair pants, windbreaker, hoodie
2 underwear, 2 socks, pjs
daughter 3: 2 pair shorts
3 tees
pants, windbreaker
3 underwear, 2 socks, 2 pjs
son 3: same as twin sister
everyone brings a bathing suit. the children all bring a favourite blanket and stuffed toy, as well as a couple of books, colouring and crayons/markers. Hubby packs his laptop, we bring a camera, two sippy cups and two cereal/snack containers. I'll pack a change of clothes in my purse (usually a pair of pjs--they are small in the purse and do the job in case of emergency. I'll pack snacks in my purse--crackers, cheese strings, chocolate bars. We all bring toothbrushes and toothpaste, hair gel, deodorant. We use the toilettries at the hotel. I also pack a medical bag in my purse with inhalers, tylenol for kids and adults, benedryl for kids and adults, antihistamines, bandaids, polysporin, thermometer, hydrocortisone cream, glycerin suppositories, tylenol suppositories
I think that's it. Sounds like a lot, but it all fits in a standard carry on, my purse and the two backpacks. It's so nice not having a lot of luggage.

Honestly, while you might could do it, I probably would not. We flew with 12 of us, including our 7 month old. I thought about trying to do all carry-ons, but decided I didn't want to have to deal with all the luggage in the airports and on Magical Express (especially since we changed planes going both ways.)
I ended up checking 2 bags and taking 6 small carry-ons and 5 backpacks. I ordered diapers, wipes, breakfast foods, and a few other things from Walmart.com and had them delivered to our resort. Shipping was free and they were waiting for us when we checked in.
I always have to stop and remind myself that sometimes it is more trouble than it is worth to try to save a little money!

We only take carry-ons - never check. If we have access to a washer/dryer, we bring enough clothes for 3 days each (and I do laundry everyday - can't help myself). We don't buy much - not a big gift shop fan.

I only have one kid, and I still like checking a bag. There's just too much else to deal with in an airport. Though going to Disney, I might leave the car seat behind, so I suppose that might make it a little easier.
I'd probably only check one bag for the whole family, but I'd still check a bag. It just makes it easier not to have to deal with extra carry ons.

I tried so hard to get everything into one check through this past trip and failed, I ended up with two, and that was only bringing three changes of clothes each, but I'm just the opposite of everyone here. We fly Southwest so no bag fees. I find it much more carefree to check everything but a backpack full of electronics and a diaper bag for my boy. There's no fight for bin space and nothing to lug through the airport but the beastly child. When he's old enough to carry his own stuff i may go back to carry-on only, but then again we bring an air mattress and a cpap machine so carryons may still be challenging one day.

It is possible! You could use space saver bags and create a little more room in the suitcase. My packing technique (especially if we are going overseas) is to pack old shirts, socks and undies which can be thrown away at the end of the trip. The Mr. is a terrible over packer so I make him take his old white undershirts and toss them. No one is going to see you old underwear or undershirts anyway. With this method you'd have room to bring back souvenirs too.
The one issue I see is with toiletries. I can go 10+ days with the 3 oz items but the Mr. needs more than this for mouthwash and it is hard to find tiny shaving cream and hair gel (he is particular) that he likes.

Personally, I would pack 1 large suitcase for the 4 of your. And in a carry-on pack one day's worth of clothes in case your large suitcase were to become MIA (it happened to us, leaving us scrambling at 9:30pm on arrival day to taxi it to Walmart to buy clothes for the week; luckily about 5 minutes before we decided to go, they found our bag and all was well).
Also, you mentioned you are renting a mini-van once you're there, where are the carseats going on the plane...are you checking them, using them? Or are those staying in your car and you'll be renting carseats from the rental car place? While they won't count as your carry-on item for the plane, they will be more things you have to figure out how to juggle around/get from place to place along with the kids.
I know that when we take a plane trip, we always bring my parents along (let's face it, all our vacations are to Disneyland or World, lol, and my parents love it as much as we do). We, however, have only 1 child. But, we do sit down and jot down everything that has to go, from carry-on bags to personal items, stroller, carseat, etc. Then we assign each adult to each item. For example, our trip to World in 2008 when my son was 14 months old, we pretty much traveled as follows: Mimi was responsible for getting herself and my DS through secutiry; DH was responsible for the stroller and his personal belongings; my dad was responsible for the diaper bag and his belongings, and I was responsible for the food bag and my belongings. In a couple months when we go to Disneyland, we'll have the carseat with us...as well as the stroller. Not sure how we're dividing everything up yet, but we'll sit down and write everything down and figure it out.
Dry runs are ALWAYS a plus when traveling with kids. Hope my suggestions were helpful. And no matter what you decide to do, enjoy your trip!

Interacting selectively and non-covalently with the SNAP receptor syntaxin-1.
The release of intracellular molecules (e.g. hormones, matrix proteins) contained within a membrane-bounded vesicle by fusion of the vesicle with the plasma membrane of a cell, requiring the presence of calcium ions.
A process of secretion by a cell that results in the release of intracellular molecules (e.g. hormones, matrix proteins) contained within a membrane-bounded vesicle by fusion of the vesicle with the plasma membrane of a cell. This is the process in which most molecules are secreted from eukaryotic cells.
The directed movement of proteins from the Golgi to the plasma membrane in transport vesicles that move from the trans-Golgi network to the plasma membrane.
The membrane organization process that joins two lipid bilayers to form a single membrane.
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of receptor recycling.
The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form a protein complex.
The directed movement of membrane-bounded vesicles from endosomes back to the trans-Golgi network where they are recycled for further rounds of transport.
The morphogenetic process that results in flattening of a cell as a consequence of its adhesion to a substrate.
The initial attachment of a vesicle membrane to a target membrane, mediated by proteins protruding from the membrane of the vesicle and the target membrane, that contributes to exocytosis.
A cellular transport process in which transported substances are moved in membrane-bounded vesicles; transported substances are enclosed in the vesicle lumen or located in the vesicle membrane. The process begins with a step that directs a substance to the forming vesicle, and includes vesicle budding and coating. Vesicles are then targeted to, and fuse with, an acceptor membrane.

Microsoft Shares Rise on Profit Beat
(Updated with stock and conference call information)
REDMOND, Wash. ( TheStreet) -- Microsoft's (MSFT) first-quarter results surpassed Wall Street's expectations Friday.
The tech bellwether's revenue was $12.92 billion, down from $15.06 billion from the same period last year but above Wall Street's estimate of $12.32 billion. Microsoft earned 40 cents a share on net income of $3.57 billion, down from 48 cents a share and $4.37 billion in the prior year's quarter but well above the 32 cents that analysts expected.
Investors responded positively to the results, driving Microsoft's shares up 5.7%, to $28.11. The broader tech market, in contrast, dipped slightly, with the Nasdaq slipping 0.6%.Microsoft's numbers took a major hit from the launch of its much-hyped Windows 7 operating system, which debuted earlier this week. The results include deferral of $1.47 billion of revenue related to the Windows 7 upgrade program and pre-launch sales of the operating system. This also impacted the company's earnings by 12 cents a share. Adding back the revenue, sales would have totaled $14.39 billion, a 4% decline on the prior year's quarter. Earnings would have equaled 52 cents a share, an increase of 8% on the same period last year. There had been concerns that PC weakness could weigh heavily on Microsoft's first quarter. Despite declining sales, the firm has provided some hints of an improving computer market. "We are very pleased with our performance this quarter and particularly by the strong consumer demand for Windows," said Chris Liddell, Microsoft's CFO, in a statement. "We also maintained our cost discipline, which allowed us to drive strong earnings performance despite continued tough overall economic conditions."

Spa Treatment for Your Aching Joints
The idea of soaking in hot tubs is nothing new. The ancient Greeks and Romans recognized the healing powers of warm water and it is still the most effective treatment for some ailments.
Warm water improves circulation and helps relax muscle. It can help reduce aches of arthritis or reward muscles and joint aching from a tough workout.
Hot tubs, or spa therapy, is something you can also do at home. Before you take the plunge on your back deck, there are elements of spa ownership you should be aware of.
Spa Safety
Check with your doctor before using a spa. People with circulation or nerve problems and women who are pregnant especially need to talk to their doctor about safely using the spa. Soak safely by doing the following:
- Maintaining the water temperature between 98°F and 104°F (between 83°F and 88°F if you are exercising in spa)
- Gradually building up the amount of time spent in the water
- Staying in the tub for 15 minutes or less
- Avoiding alcoholic beverages or taking pain medicine or muscle relaxers before or during spa use
- Getting out if you start to feel lightheaded or nauseous
- Do not soak immediately after a heavy meal
Most hot tubs provide enough space to stretch small muscle groups supporting hands, wrists, knees, ankles, and toes. Some swim spas are even deep enough to do aerobic routines and work large muscle groups. You can even get spas that come equipped with an underwater treadmill.
Your Own Spa
If you are thinking about buying a spa for your home, test the spa before you purchase it. Sit in it, dry and wet, and ask yourself:
- Can you move around easily?
- Are the jets properly located to give you a good massage? Can you adjust them? Make sure the water pressure is not too powerful.
- Does the spa provide enough room to exercise?
- Is it easy to enter and exit? Can you add handrails, grab bars, or slip-resistant surfaces?
- Can you buy a cover lift to remove the lid? Covers keep the water warm and clean, but are quite heavy.
- Can you work the controls from inside the spa?
- Can you easily access the filter?
Also evaluate features, warranties, dealer reputation, wiring, weight placement, and plumbing requirements.
Soak It All In
Whether you decide to use a spa at a health club or invest in one, let the warm waters rejuvenate and relax you.

Oh, I see what you did there: In photo 1, it's cooch to cooch while in photo 2, it's johnson to johnson
these comparisons are so sh*t!
LOL! That was sure a good eye who spotted so much resemblance! :D:D:D
I guess this means that in this shot Gaga ripped off Christina's Come On Over Baby video.
Really? How many lap dances happened before the time of Gaga and Aguilera?
I'm embarrassed for you rn. Go watch Madonna videos. That's who she copied.
LOL! That was sure a good eye who spotted so much resemblance!
YES! And Christina was breathing! Just like Gaga! COPY CAT! BOO! Don't be so sexy!

Specifically, two projects are taking place along north and southbound Hwy. 113 at various locations from just south of Hutchison Drive in Davis to north of East Main Street in Woodland. They are both set to be completed by mid-November.
One project will saw, cut and remove then replace concrete slabs along Hwy. 113, according Dennis Keaton, Public Information Officer for Caltrans District 3.
The project began July 20.
Motorists can expect lane restrictions from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. Monday through Saturday while much of 113 is resurfaced, Keaton said.
"The second project, also on north and southbound Hwy. 113, is in the same area," said Keaton. "It is to upgrade the curb ramps and make the various ramps ADA compliant."
The ADA compliance project began Sept. 18.
Meanwhile, construction work continues on an $8.5 million project by the City of Woodland, the Sacramento Area Council of Government and Caltrans to construct and modify ramps on Interstate 5 and widen CR-102.
Additional information on this project can be located at woodlandinterchange.com/project-news.htm.
After 11 a.m. each Friday, Keaton publishes a weekly update on Caltrans road work in District 3, which includes Yolo County. Motorists are able to find the information at

Winning Terrain at Home Plate
September 22, 2007
After waiting out a long, cold winter and a global dust storm, Spirit finally has enough power to explore Home Plate the way scientists have been longing to do since they first saw the layered terrain. Why all the excitement? If you were going to look for past water on Mars, there are three good ways: 1) Look for salts left behind from salty water that evaporated; 2) Look for rocks that show evidence of being originally laid down wet; and, 3) look for signs of volcanic explosions where water contacted hot, molten rock. At "Home Plate" on Mars, scientists have found all three. That's certainly a home run in the search for more clues to the history of water on Mars.

TJ Makes Atlantic City and Vegas looks like kindergarten class.
****! i had my bachelor party at a grade school.
With that rationale, kauai is better than maui. Another 2 places that are very similar, but nothing alike. Same as North and South CA. I prefer Southern. every time.
drinking during the day at Shore Club in Pacific Beach is a very Bachelor Party-esque thing to do in SD especially during a sporting event and you dont need reservations or anything. They have frozen red bull things.
i 2nd the big sur stuff. there is a place called Tree Bones that has Yurts which is really cool.
spend a night in LA and get drunk at the rainbow.
Effin rad!!
Thanks for the input so far.
To clarify - my brother lives in SF...and yes we are looking to surf and camp our way down to San Diego.
Re: TJ - this bachelor party group is no longer the swashbuckling lunatics of days past - many are married and/or have kids. Not sure they could handle TJ (properly) at this point in their lives...
I'll have to check out Jalama and tree bones - thanks mis and dopio
Cancel that gringo puss trip & re-book. Fly into POP (Puerto Plata). Rent a coupla vehicles. Drive 30 mins to Cabarete. Stay in any one of a number of sweet oceanfront locations. Hotel Magnifico highly rec'd. Walk to restaurants, nightlife, 6 mins to Encuentro surf break. If it's breaking really good, one hour to Playa Grande. Consult locals for that info. Be sure to hit Sosua for the insane nightlife & chicas. Remember: never, ever pay until the chica is ready to do the walk of shame.
Also consider Colombia. Yah, down the other continent way. Unreal.

Carpenter Technology's CEO Discusses F4Q2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
William A. Wulfsohn
Thank you, Mike, and good morning everyone. Fiscal year 2012 was an excellent year for Carpenter. As a team, we executed well and we exceeded our earnings targets. The legacy Carpenter business saw a 68% increase in operating income, excluding pension EID, which was above our 50% growth target. This profit growth was driven primarily by focus pricing action, mix management initiatives designed to free up capacity for increased sales of high value products and excellent manufacturing performance, which reduced our cost per ton for the third straight year. Combined these actions drove a $0.44 per pound or 66% improvement in SAO profit per pound, and equally as important, these actions enabled the capacity gains to sell an additional 4,500 premium tons in the year.
Fiscal year 2012 was also an outstanding year for the company in terms of positioning for future growth. I would like to highlight four key areas of particular strategic importance. First, and the highlight of the year, was our acquisition of Latrobe Specialty Metals. We have now owned Latrobe for four months and the results in the business are strong. As expected, on an operating basis, the acquisition has been immediately accretive to earnings. I am also pleased to report that the integration is going extremely well.
Based upon what we have learned to date, we are even more excited about the strategic value and synergy potential from this transaction. Thus in summary, Latrobe is tracking ahead of our overall deal economics and we remain confident that we will achieve at least $25 million of synergy by year three.
Second, we announced earlier this year the construction of a $500 million premium products facility in Alabama. This state-of-the-art facility will enable us to support existing and increasing customer demand for our aerospace and energy products, with 27,000 tons of new premium product capacity.

My parents bought a 50" phillips plasma around July last summer. In that time, it's receieved a pretty substantial amount of use on their part, and having not seen the thing for three months, I came back home to find some wear on the image.
The 4:3 image ratio is now dully burnt into the screen. If you see a widescreen image with a single light color, like say, a shot of the sky, it can actually be pretty dramatic.
So I'm going to ask a fairly hopeless question. Is there anything that can be done to reverse the effect, or at the very least, stagger its progress? We've had the damn thing for less than 12 months, and at this rate, the screen will be a single brown blur before year three.
With just under six months of use, can we come to any kind of consensus as to whether or not this effect is permanent?
With just under six months of use, can we come to any kind of consensus as to whether or not this effect is permanent?
You should be able to find out fairly quickly by playing content that fills the whole screen and leaving it to run. MY guess would be that part of it is permanent and part of it is residual that will go away if you play wide screen content for a extended period of time.

Not Even Wrong: The Failure of String Theory and the Search for Unity in Physical Law
Basic Books, 2006 - Science - 291 pages
At what point does theory depart the realm of testable hypothesis and come to resemble something like aesthetic speculation, or even theology? The legendary physicist Wolfgang Pauli had a phrase for such ideas: He would describe them as "not even wrong," meaning that they were so incomplete that they could not even be used to make predictions to compare with observations to see whether they were wrong or not. In Peter Woit's view, superstring theory is just such an idea. In Not Even Wrong, he shows that what many physicists call superstring "theory" is not a theory at all. It makes no predictions, even wrong ones, and this very lack of falsifiability is what has allowed the subject to survive and flourish. Not Even Wrong explains why the mathematical conditions for progress in physics are entirely absent from superstring theory today and shows that judgments about scientific statements, which should be based on the logical consistency of argument and experimental evidence, are instead based on the eminence of those claiming to know the truth. In the face of many books from enthusiasts for string theory, this book presents the other side of the story.
