Welcome to Balance Bike Outlet.
We have been selling balance bikes since 2009 and are excited to share our expertise in selecting the perfect balance bike for your child.
Already a massive success in Europe, Balance Bikes are set to become a worldwide trend. Tests in Germany and other countries clearly show the benefits of not using training wheels on small bikes for children. The use of training wheels proved to stunt the gross motor skill development of a young child; which is why we recommend balance bikes. There are also noticeable improvements in a child's confidence and self-esteem. Children learn balance on Balance Bikes, and can then progress to bicycles without the aid of training wheels.
Shop our selection of wood and metal balance bikes from Strider Sports, Kinderbike, Kinderfeets, Wishbone Designs, Glide Bikes, FirstBike and scoot-alongs from German toy company Big.

UX Design: Trends of 2017 take shape
It is necessary to know that each device has its own way of creating a good user experience. Responsive Web Design makes it possible to be able to consult a site from many different devices, such as smartphones, computers and tablets. The challenge for developers in 2017 is to go even further: creating continuity in the client path from one device to another. In this context, the multi-screen is important from the design stage.
The field of applications also has its share of innovations. One example is the Progressive Web App (PWA), which is a "mobile first" application directly accessible from a navigator but also behaves like a native application with the same richness of experience. Furthermore, the user neither needs to download nor install it on a device because the application allows standardised web navigation via a browser. One downside for the moment is that these applications are not yet compatible with iOS technology.
The humanisation of interfaces also becomes more and more important. There has been significant improvement in vocal conversational interfaces, which allows for a true fluidity in interaction and makes them operational for the greater public.
Additionally, textual conversational interfaces, or chatbots, are being further developed. They offer an automated client service. The client can ask questions or send comments via chat and the chatbot responds, thanks to its knowledge of key words, questions, responses and themes (based on a script), and tries to give an adequate and contextualised response to the user. Software robots can henceforth understand and analyse received messages.
Augmented and virtual realities are going to continue to develop in the years to come.
New use cases are always imagined and implemented, such as the use of "sensor add-ons", which can be attached to any object (ball, racket, helmet, gloves, etc.), which allow these objects to be imported into virtual reality. Full-Body-Tracking is also impatiently awaited. Thanks to the use of sensors all over the body, it will be possible to calculate one's exact position and movements, also allowing its complete integration in a virtualised space.
During the Aircraft Interiors Expo, AUSY engineering, our German team, exhibited a virtual reality innovation for aircraft cabin layouts, allowing future travelers exclusive access in discovering the cabins. In this context, virtual reality brings an enormous plus to design. Thanks to the solution developed by AUSY, it is possible to visit a custom-made airplane cabin in which the user can change the equipment, the configuration and the colour of the seats, the lights, the walls, storage placement, etc. The user can directly experiment with the design's final result, before it is even tangibly completed by the engineers.
Delivering the best user experience and improving product ergonomics remain great challenges for businesses facing constant development in technology.
AUSY experts support the largest accounts across various sectors in the completion of their projects, from start to finish, in the diagnostic, UX design, interface design and user test phases.

The Good
Sabathia struck out 12 guys. 12! There aren't even that many players in a lineup! That's like striking out all the original Wu-Tang members PLUS the Fugees.
The Bad
It turns out bad defense can undermine a pitching performance. Did the 2 unearned runs from A-Rod's errant throw make us lose the game? Maybe not, but it certainly didn't help, and you can't underestimate the effect it has on the pitcher who has to make the extra outs.
The Ugly
The Yankees need to try a bold new strategy at the plate: Never Load the Bases. Not this year. That means that if there are two runners on, you just gotta start swinging for the fences. Don't be patient. Don't try to work the walk. Just swing. A-Rod's strikeout with bases loaded, and Cano's weak grounder right after have brought the Yankees to hitting .161 with bases loaded this season. That's lower than Russell Martin's season batting average. And speaking of Martin...
Off the Bench, And Into Our Hearts
A homerun from Russell Martin has dropped $2 for the Children's Health Fund, and has given hope to his season. He's finally over .200 and it looks like he could really be turning a corner.
Raul Ibanez 9hr = $18
Nick Swisher 8hr = $64
Andruw Jones 5hr = $10
Derek Jeter 6hr = $12
Curtis Granderson 17hr = $34
Alex Rodriguez 9hr = $18
Robinson Cano 9hr = $18
Mark Teixeira 10hr = $20
Eric Chavez 3hr = $6
Russell Martin 6hr = $12
Jayson Nix 2hr = $4
Total 84hr = $168

County Jokes
Funny Jokes
An Irishman moves into a tiny hamlet in County Ke...Hot 8 years ago
An Irishman moves into a tiny hamlet in County Kerry, walks into the pub and promptly orders three beers. The bartender raises his eyebrows, but serves the man three beers, which he drinks quietly at a table, alone. An hour later, the man has finished the three beers and orders three more. This happens yet again. The next evening the man again orders and drinks three beers at a time, several times. Soon the entire town is whispering about the Man Who Orders Three Beers. Finally, a week later, the bartender broaches the subject on behalf of the town. "I don`t mean to pry, but folks around here are wondering why you always order three beers?" `Tis odd, isn`t it?" the man replies, "You see, I have two brothers, and one went to America, and the other to Australia. We promised each other that we would always order an extra two beers whenever we drank as a way of keeping up the family bond." The bartender and the whole town was pleased with this answer, and soon the more...
Small town newspaper reporters first assignmentHot 2 years ago
A cub reporter for a small town newspaper was sent out on his first assignment one day. He submitted the following report to his editor.
"Mrs. Smith was injured in a one-car accident today. She is recovering in County Hospital with lacerations on her breasts."
The Editor scolded the new reporter, saying. "This is a family paper. We don't use words like breasts around here. Now go back and write something more appropiate!"
The young reporter thought long and hard. Finally he handed the Editor the following report. "Mrs. Smith was injured in a one-car accident today. She is recovering in County Hospital with lacerations on her ( . )( . )"
A Farmer Lived on a Quiet...Hot 6 years ago
A farmer lived on a quiet rural highway. But as time went by, the traffic slowly built up to an alarming rate. The traffic was so heavy and so fast that his chickens were being run over at a rate of three to six a day. So one day he called the sheriff's office and said, "You've got to do something about all of these people driving so fast and killing all of my chickens."
"What do you want me to do?" asked the sheriff.
"I don't care, just do something about those drivers!"
So the next day he had the county workers go out and erect a sign that said: SLOW: SCHOOL CROSSING
Three days later, the farmer called the sheriff and said, "You've got to do something about these drivers. The 'school crossing' sign seems to make them go faster."
So, again, the sheriff sends out the county workers and they put up a new sign: SLOW: CHILDREN AT PLAY
And that really sped them up. So the farmer called and called and called every day for more...
Political Correctness - renaming placesHot 5 years ago
Lake County, Minn.
Residents of Lake Coubnty, Minn. are thumbing their noses at a Minnesota state law mandating that they rename Squaw Creek and Squaw Bay to something less offensive.
Many of the state's 55,000 American Indians find the the word "squaw" historically used to describe an American Indian woman, to be an obscenity, according to a story in the New York Times.
Other Minnesota counties complied with the renaming law. Squaw was removed from the names of 19 sites - creeks ponds, and lakes, etc,
Not Lake County. They said there is nothing offensive in the term "squaw". The issue, they said, is whether local representation will rule or state bureaucracy.
Meanwhile in protest, they offered to rename the bodies of water Politically Correct Creek and Politically Correct Bay.

Runners-up: [AP, Mammoth Lakes] A San Anselmo man died yesterday when he hit a lift tower at the Mammoth Mountain ski area while riding down the slope on a foam pad, authorities said.
Matthew David Hubal, 22, was pronounced dead at Centinela Mammoth Hospital. The accident occurred about 3 a.m., the Mono County Sheriff's Department said.
Hubal and his friends apparently had hiked up a ski run called Stump Alley and undid some yellow foam protectors from the lift towers, said Lieutenant Mike Donnelly of the Mammoth Lakes Police Department. The pads are used to protect skiers who might hit the towers. The group apparently used the pads to slide down the ski slope and Hubal crashed into a tower. It has since been investigated that the tower he hit was the one with its pad more...

Raptor attack in the Ranchos
On Sunday, I took advantage of a break in the storm to take a quick walk outside with my dog.
Turning a corner toward home, I heard what sounded like a remote-controlled car, or possibly an airborne r/c drone, whining intermittently at a high pitch.
The noise got louder as I made my way up the sidewalk. My dog, also curious, walked alongside hesitantly with his head cocked at an angle.
I started to think the noise might be some sort of industrial-type drill, and then, with alarm as the sound became more insistent, that maybe it was someone in distress. My heart thrummed as I searched for the source of this mysterious screeching.
I paused next to a large pine tree in a neighbor's front yard and heard a rustling, then looked up to see a bird's large wing extended through the boughs. Puzzled and wondering if the bird was somehow stuck, I moved closer to try and get a better look.
Out from the tree flew a huge red-tailed hawk.
With a rush of wings it dipped toward the road, then swept upward to land on a rooftop across the street, settling its feathers and seeming to glare down at me with indignation.
The sight and proximity of this magnificent raptor rendered me speechless, and it took me second to realize the shrieking hadn't stopped. I turned back toward the tree; the outstretched bird wing was still visible through the branches.
At this point, my neighbor came out and I filled him in on what I'd seen so far. He stepped around to a different side of the pine and discovered another hawk, this one locked together in battle with an owl among the tangle of tree limbs.
More people came outside to see about the commotion, and our presence was enough to scare away the second hawk.
A barn owl, brilliantly disguised and nearly indistinguishable from the tree trunk, wobbled back and forth on an inner branch as it worked to collect itself after the ambush.
I marveled at this relatively small owl's ability to fend off not one, but two formidable predators.
Apparently it has been living in the tree for at least the last couple of years, but I wonder if it will continue to roost there given that one of an owl's best defense mechanisms is the ability to remain undetected.
It's clear that the hawks are keenly aware of this owl's home base due to their reluctance to leave the area following the disruption of their attack.
Although they did eventually fly away, it seems likely the hawks will return.
I, however, am rooting for the owl and hope they find their next meal elsewhere.

Acoustic Bass, Dragon
Lindo Sessions – "Sell My Soul" by Foreign Affairs (Live)
Guitars used in this session are the Lindo Dragon Electro-Acoustic Guitar & the Lindo ACB Natural Electro-Acoustic Bass.
Started by brothers Adam and Lawrence in 2012, the band's first summer saw them booked for Glastonbury Festival, by owner Michael Eavis, as well as performances at Iconic Bristol venues 'The Thekla' 'The Louisiana' and airplay via BBC Introducing. Since bursting onto the local scene, tours have taken them throughout the UK, playing with the likes of 'The Lone Bellow', 'Marika Hackman' and 'Ren Harvieu', tours have also covered Belgium and Switzerland.
In the studio for most of 2014, the band have now settled on a trio line up, with the addition of bass player Ben Sweeney and are now set to release three, three track EP's over the next 18 months, with the first release set for June 2015 and a 22 date festival tour to follow, including 2 shows at Glastonbury Festival.
There are times throughout the history of music that siblings have not been a great mix when it comes to forming bands. There are some awesome exceptions to the rule when you consider the brothers Robinson, Davies, Greenwood, Young, Johnston, Fogerty, Van Halen…and as of 2012, the brothers Purnell! Hailing from Keynsham, just outside Bristol and a stone's throw from the Lindo HQ, thankfully these guys were not influenced by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band!
The music these guys make is years ahead of the small amount of time they have so far spent on this planet. Their songs are perfectly executed with some of the catchiest melodies you're likely to hear this year and you'll have plenty of opportunity to see them live this summer, as their schedule is vast, amazing and very well deserved, as I know Mr Eavis would agree! Slick and rhythmic guitar playing is backed up by bass lines that will have you more than tapping your feet. And when younger brother and lead vocalist Lawrence lets rip with the vocals, you'll certainly pay attention. Lead vocals also give way to incredible 3-part harmonies, which certainly show these guys off as musicians that have honed their craft.
We think the world will be seeing a lot more of Foreign Affairs in future!
If you would like to take part, please contact us by e-mail: email@example.com. Please include links to any online media you currently have and if we like what we hear, we'll be in touch.

BUCKEYE LAKE – It's been four long years since Buckeye Lake was at full pool.
With the completion of the new dam late last year and thanks to a rainy March, Buckeye Lake reached full pool and more just three weeks after the reinstallation of the stop logs in the AMIL spillway in Buckeye Lake Village.
After reconfirming with ODNR this spring, full pool is 891.63 mean sea level. The top of the Seller's Point spillway is 892.21 mean sea level. Buckeye Lake is automatically discharging water at around 892.20 due to wave action.
An new USGS stream gauge has been installed at the AMIL spillway. It replaces the old and increasingly unreliable gauge near the park office on Lieb's Island. Current and historical data from the new gauge is available on-line at https://waterdata.usgs.gov/oh/nwis/current/?type=lake&group_key=NONE
Select the gauge called "Buckeye Lake near Watkins Island, OH" that appears at the bottom of the page.
Buckeye Lake was at 890.5 on March 1, when the stop logs were reinstalled. Full pool was reached on March 20. By April 1, the lake level was above the top of the Seller's Point Spillway, ultimately peaking at just under 892.5. The level fell below Seller's Point by April 8, but more rain pushed it above the spillway from April 15 to April 20.

|So thirty five years ago. This band released an album. It wasn't a hit and a single got banned. Boom. Their other guise had morphed out of one electronica band that had a minor (sic) degree of success (and who are still touring today) before developing into something new. But success did come their way. In bucket loads. So welcome tonight to the delectable Town Hall in Birmingham, the British Electronic Foundation (BEF) and their 'alter ego' if you like, Heaven 17.

The slogan is based on one of the many short stories by Dutch writer Simon Carmiggelt. He called these stories "Kronkels", which probably relates to "gedachtenkronkel" (eg, idea, mind twist).
The slogan invites you to assess yourself: am I a normal person? I'm not sure if I could say an unequivocal "yes". However, if I can not confirm then who is a normal person??
The root cause for my doubt is that normal is a statistical term. Normal means the average, mean or median in a population. In human terms such a person may not even exist. Probably that is also the conclusion which the slogan is hoping for.
I do not consider myself an average person but I'm reluctant to say that I'm not a normal person. How do we define normal and abnormal? I was triggered by a Dutch newspaper article and its heading: "Who is still normal?". It claims that many people seem to suffer from autism, ADHD, or narcissism.
The interest in this topic was also boosted by a campaign slogan of the Dutch PM: act normal please. Its implicit message was, again, that people who don't like being in The Netherlands should leave. If I'm cynical then removing Dutch critics would probably leave this country empty. Nearly everyone in this country has something to complain about. Considering my blogs on organ donation, I'm one of them.
From a statistical point of view, I might be an outlier as I may well be far away from the average. Does that make me statistically "abnormal"? If so then I wouldn't even mind. The longer we monitor a person, the more "normal" his/her behaviour becomes (e.g., Trump). Even a string of terrorist incidents becomes the "new normal". Our capability for behavioural adjustment is probably a survival mechanism. We just learn to live with Change.
Probably any "normal" is important to humans as we prefer seeing a static view (e.g., picture) as normal and dislike seeing dynamic Change as normal (e.g., video). The equilibrium is however the exception unless you view History as an eternal string of individual equilibriums.
Hence, a normal is only found in statistical theories. The mere fact that these theories work with confidence intervals and probabilities should already be cause for concern. Humans are unique rather than normal or abnormal. Some behavioural aspects are more common than others but even that is usually not a guarantee for normal behaviour.

Several weeks ago, in a Saturday Stories post written by myself (Clint), I made a request to the readers. I asked if anyone brought to the domestic discipline lifestyle by the recent media articles would be willing to share their story with us (you can read that post here), and I'm so thrilled to say that my request has been answered. If you'd like your domestic discipline...

Band: Greg Padilla
Date: Saturday, Feb. 23, 1 p.m.
Venue: The Bone and Barrel, 311 Fairhope Ave. (Fairhope), 251-990-0782
Tickets: Call for more info
Mardi Gras madness has spread from downtown Mobile throughout the Eastern Shore. On Saturday evening, downtown Fairhope will come alive with the return of the Knights of Ecor Rouge. Before these gallant maskers shower the crowds with trinkets, many along the Eastern Shore will be preparing for the evening's festivities. For those wanting to get the party started early, The Bone and Barrel will be serving up food and drink, and live music from singer-songwriter Greg Padilla.
The local music scene has seen Padilla gradually make his presence known through his infectious sound. He specializes in a mellow, exotic mix of funk and soul. While his music is undeniably appealing, his greatest weapon is a hearty voice built for his arrangements.
Recently, Padilla has been working on his Red & the Revelers project. His fans can expect a single release party in April, which may signal a full-length to come.

If you have arrived at a shortlist of transfer firms and are not sure about your choice between FC Exchange and MoneyGram, you are not alone. People with this predicament often look for a solution online. While both companies score well over banks in different ways, selecting one requires that you identify your individual needs first.
Paying attention to the similarities and differences in how these companies operate will give you the ability to make the right choice. Check all the following sections of this MoneyGram vs. FC Exchange comparison before deciding:
- Exchange Rates
- Fees
- Countries
- Ease of Use
- Security
- Regular Overseas Payments
- Coupons
International Money Exchange Rates
Choosing either MoneyGram or FC Exchange gives you access to bank-beating rates. Between the two, this section does not produce a clear winner, mainly because of the forex market's volatile nature. Shortly before your transfer, compare the rates of both companies to determine the better of the two.
FC Exchange
- FC Exchange lets you check prevailing inter-bank rates by using its currency converter.
- The actual exchange rate offered by this company is noted in the transfer contract.
- The FC Exchange Best Rate Guarantee offers to match better rates provided by the company's competitors.
- By using the company's live rates and charts, you can track exchange rate fluctuations.
- You can find out current interbank rates by using the calculator found on the MoneyGram website.
- The company notifies you of the actual rate before you confirm your transfer.
Fund Transfer Fees
Select FC Exchange or MoneyGram only after you understand how their fee structures work, as this factor has a bearing on the cost of your transfer.
FC Exchange
- The mode of payment and the destination country have an effect on the fees you pay.
- FC Exchange informs you of the fee it charges in advance.
- Some transfers attract fees charged by intermediaries, which FC Exchange cannot calculate in advance every time.
- Check the FC Exchange review for further details.
- The country you reside in, the destination, country, the mode of payment, and the transfer method affect the cost of your transfer.
- Typically, paying via an electronic bank transfer attracts lower fees when compared to paying using a debit or credit card.
- Transferring funds to an overseas bank account tends to cost less than getting the recipient to collect money from a cash pick-up center.
- Use the MoneyGram calculator to find out how much your transfer will cost.
Destination Countries for Sending Money Internationally
The country you want to transfer funds to can have a bearing on the company you should choose. As a result, this aspect of the FC Exchange vs. MoneyGram comparison requires careful attention.
- The FC Exchange list of supported currencies is available on its website. When signing up, you get to view its list of supported countries.
- Check the list of countries supported by MoneyGram when you initiate a transfer.
Ease of Use
This aspect of the MoneyGram vs. FC Exchange comparison favors one company over the other when it comes to website access in foreign languages, as well as transfer methods. Completing the online registration process takes no more than a few minutes with both companies.
FC Exchange
- The global FC Exchange website lets you register as an individual or a business.
- Access to the global FC Exchange website comes only in English.
- You can place transfer orders online and over the phone.
- The company, using its discretion, can accept orders via fax or email.

- You can transfer funds to an overseas bank account or to a cash pick-up center, depending on the destination country.
- Members of MoneyGram Plus gain access to apps for mobile devices. You receive transaction notifications and you can also view transaction history.

FC Exchange
- The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulates FC Exchange in the UK.
- The Financial Services Board (FSB) regulates this company in South Africa.
- Its credit rating from Dun & Bradstreet stands at 1A2.
- In the U.S., MoneyGram has the required licenses issued by various state regulatory bodies.
- In the UK, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulates its operations.
Regular Overseas Payments
When it comes to regular overseas transfers, this FC Exchange vs. MoneyGram comparison favors the former. Setting up pre-scheduled transfers using FC Exchange is simple. However, MoneyGram does not currently provide this service.

Another Champion of Cotton
By: Bill Gillon, President & CEO of The Cotton Board
We followed the U.S. delegation into a side room at the Geneva headquarters of the World Trade Organization to get lunch and be briefed on the morning session in the U.S. / Brazil WTO case. Joe Glauber, then Deputy Chief Economist at USDA was leading the delegation, along with attorneys and others from the U.S. Trade Representative's office. Joe's consternation with the morning session was evident, and he immediately put everyone to work trying to develop better answers to several questions the Dispute Settlement Panel had asked that morning. He wanted access to the USDA website to download several spreadsheets, but easy access to the internet was not a reality 10 years ago. Fortunately, I had one of the second-generation mobile Windows devices, gained access to the WTO web server, downloaded the spreadsheets Joe was after, and gave them to him on a smart disk. I felt both tech-savy and helpful to Joe and the team defending cotton.
Joe Glauber, the Chief Economist at USDA, announced his retirement from USDA, effective last month. I am glad I have the opportunity here to thank Joe for his amazing work for cotton and all of U.S. agriculture.
The Cotton Board just concluded an ad campaign featuring the Champions of Cotton. We wanted to make sure that cotton producers knew the sort of motivated, committed professionals that work for Cotton Incorporated and work for cotton every day. We need to add Joe Glauber to our list of champions.
I have known Joe for quite a while. He served as Deputy Chief Economist starting in 1992 and then as Chief Economist since 2008. I probably met Joe before that – during the 1990 farm bill – but our exact first meeting is lost in the deep back pages of agricultural policy we have both tried to influence in our past positions. Joe is one of those people we want on our team. He is no "yes man," but he was always "there" man, when the hard work had to be done, through late nights, early mornings, and painfully long, slow meetings.
Joe Glauber provided insightful, unbiased, and solid economic analysis for U.S. agriculture for over 30 years. Just like the professionals at Cotton Incorporated, the level of dedication Joe put into his job merits our highest regards. I always trusted him implicitly, I always knew his preparation would be excellent, and his insights and persistence were critical to many policy decisions over his career.
Joe is moving on to the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), and I know we will continue to benefit from his economic insight. Thank you Joe, for all you have done for agriculture and for all you have done for cotton. We wish you all the best.

State of Decay 2 is shaping up to be a rather intriguing game and now Microsoft has announced the game's Collector Edition which looks great.

The Collector's Edition then will be sold for $69.99 and comes with a lot of goodies including a Steelbook Case, a pen drive in the form of a thumb, a latex zombie mask, a human brain SteelBook stand and a State of Decay 2 patch. All of these items look great and will definitely be worth having for fans of the series or for those who are just excited for the upcoming release of State of Decay 2.
A screenshot of the Collector's Edition has also been released which showcases all of the different items that will come along with the game. You can check out this screenshot below. State of Decay 2 is set to release for the PC and Xbox One on May 22.

Lisa Myers (NBC News) conducted a special investigation into the Army's seemingly unwillingness to adopt an Israeli RPG defense system which has been successfully tested in field conditions. The "Trophy" system, produced by Rafael (and shown here on a Stryker vehicle), was cited by the DOD's Office of Force Transformation as a really good deal. But Army officials would rather wait five years for Raytheon to complete the development and testing of its "Quick Kill" RPG defense solution, which will be part of the Future Combat Systems program.In part two of her investigation (which aired last night), she documented how the Army bent over backwards to ensure that Raytheon remained in the competition - not that there was a competition. The Army was supposed to have a shoot-off between the two systems, but because the Raytheon system was still on the drawing board, the Army canceled the shoot-off and issued a single-source selection for the Raytheon solution. I'm shocked... shocked to discover that a military acquisition office might be biased towards one of the largest U.S. defense firms. Why, I've never heard of such outlandish behavior. I declare, I do believe I have the vapors...First of all, this might have been a good news report - in APRIL, when this issue was made public (see this DefenseTech post). Or maybe Lisa might have done an internet search and found Noah's Popular Mechanics article in August. Both articles discuss the Army's concern that, yes, this seems to be a good idea, but there are some outstanding issues:
"It is not just about giving [soldiers] an APS system. How do the soldiers work with it? How does it tie into the network? How do you know when to turn it on? When not to turn it on?" said Future Combat Systems program manager Brig. Gen. Charles Cartwright. "We could put something over there . . . overnight but have I got the logistics to be able to support," the technology.Some of you may be familiar with David Drake's Hammer's Slammers - he has written a number of scifi novels about this mercenary tank regiment, which has nuclear-powered tanks and armored cars that move around like hovercrafts. The vehicles also feature an anti-projectile defense system which, when activated, shoots out like a shotgun to defeat the incoming projectile (also good for shredding light infantry in the way). Issue is, it can be set for manual rather than automatic. These concept of operation issues need to be worked out (also see Murdoc's take on this issue).I have to tell you, Colonel Don Kotchman showed that he had clearly taken the "how to deal with the media" class that every acquisition manager has to take. Get a load of this:
Lisa Myers: Was the Raytheon system tested by the Pentagon?Col. Donald Kotchman: The Army did not specifically test the Raytheon system.Instead, Raytheon tested its own system this February.Myers: How well did the Raytheon system do in its own testing?Kotchman: I don't have that information.Myers: Were there any Pentagon officials present for the Raytheon testing?Kotchman: I do not know.----------------In May, a technical team was chosen and given the task of evaluating competing RPG defense systems. But here again, Raytheon had a leg up.Myers: Do you know how many of the 21-person technical team worked for Raytheon?Kotchman: To the best of my knowledge, none.Army documents obtained by NBC News, however, reveal that nine of the 21 technical experts as well as all the administrative personnel were from Raytheon. The team ultimately concluded that of the seven RPG defense systems examined, Raytheons was the clear winner.Raytheons Quick Kill solution which the Army concedes will not be fielded before 2011 at the earliest won out over Trophy, the Israeli system championed by the Pentagons Office of Force Transformation.Myers: It appears as though Raytheon was allowed to select itself.Kotchman: I dont know that to be a fact, and so I really can't comment on it.Priceless. Bravo, colonel, bravo. You survived the interview. Best that you can hope for. I have to say, this isn't news - that is to say, it's a shame that our acquisition process works this way, but it's normal procedure. Eisenhower was right about the military-industrial complex, we know he was right, but there's no way to fix the system short of finding a new set of honest congressmen and women, defense contractors who don't see dollar signs as the bottom line, and military acquisition officials who want to be promoted while in uniform and have a nice job when they retire.-- Jason Sigger, crossposted at Armchair GeneralistUPDATE 8:58 AM: Noah here. While I appreciate Jason's shout-outs, the real credit should go to Defense News scoopmasters Greg Grant and Barbara Opall-Rome, who did most of the original reporting on this story. I just sorta played clean-up. Oh, and if all this hasn't satisfied your RPG defense fix, check out what Murdoc has to say.UPDATE 6:48 PM: JH reminds us that there's another, potentially more interesting Israeli grenade-stopper out there. Ladies and gents: the Iron Fist.

Last Ride On The Blue Streak
Posted by LOTGK on March 3, 2008
Sadly, the Blue Streak coaster along with the entire Conneaut lake Park is in peril of being closed for good due to some unfortunate luck in late 2007 and early 2008.
In 2007, the park could not open due to insurance issues and some disputes over ownership. However, the park officials were hopeful that the park would be open in 2008.
Then a mysterious fire destroyed part of the midway buildings and the dance hall. More bad luck however as several of the parks rides were stored in the dance hall.
With the amusement park season quickly approaching, Conneaut and the Blue Streak again lay dormant.
The above picture is of my son in the back car, (The one with his tongue hanging out) on the Blue Streak, back car as it just came into the station finishing the ride.
Little did he realize that perhaps it was his last ride on the Blue Streak.
PS: The guy in the next car was an avid rider of the Blue streak. My son and I rode the coaster about a dozen times that day, but this guy rode it from the time the park opened to the time the park closed. He only stopped for bathroom breaks and food. (We know this for we weren't stalking him, we asked him)

great picture of the lead scientist with his tongue hanging out. at least we get outta the lab every once and a while.
March 3, 2008 at 9:50 pm
The guy in the blue shirt, he looks dead. Someone should have checked him after he rode it 50 times. The reason is cause he's dead.
March 3, 2008 at 10:40 pm
Hwy- I think I've seen the other guy at Conneaut before…Isn't he the guy who rides all summer long? I think he tells everyone who asks and used to keep track of how many times he'd ridden.
12,438…12,439… 12,440.
God, I miss it already.
March 14, 2008 at 11:05 pm
Never been on the blue streak unless when it was when I was a baby.
I have been looking at a lot of stuff from Kennywood Park lately and found out the other night why I was suddenly almost compelled to collect items that LOOKED like Noah's Ark starting a few years ago. I had totally forgotten about the Noah's Ark ride there.
I love the old style amusement parks & loved Kennywood Park. Sorry your park may be gone.
( this to blogmaster…drop me an email sometime with your email address. my mail function on my Imac wont work so i have to send email with yahoo or gmail . I have some questions to ask of you )

'Film's theme is to help the needy people'
Srinagar, Sep 29: At a time when the film makers remain busy in shooting conflict and love stories in Kashmir, a group of eleven Journalism students from Kashmir University have come-up with a short film consisting of a message for the society.
The film titled as 'Succour' has been written by Pardeep Singh Dardi and di rected by Idrees Bukhtiyar.
Studying in 3rd Semester at Media Education Research Centre (MERC) Kashmir University, the 24 years-old director of the film Bukhtiyar said that the aim of making this short film was to create an awareness an among the masses.
"We mostly neglect the poor people who beg in front of us but among there are such type of people who in dire need of money to feed themselves or their families," he said.
"We tried our best to create an awareness to the entire world that a small contribute can't make you poor but can change somebody's life," Bukhtiyar added.
Dardi who has penned down the script of the film said the idea was a challenging one for him that has change his life completely.
"On my way to University, every day I use to see a number of beggars and where nobody would pay any heed to them. But then, I decided to write a short story over it and make this awareness to the public," he said.
"In beginning, it was very tough to set the thing on the track in terms of my script but later my colleagues helped me out and now you can see its result," Dardi added.
With the duration of 3 minutes and 18 seconds, the film has been shot at Boulevard and Hazratbal, the locations on banks of Dal Lake in Srinagar.
The film was released on social media last night and has received more 30,000 views so far.
The cast of the film includes Faisal Sidiq, Arif Zargar. The actors in supporting role include Rahil Hussain and Nazima Rashid. The film crew includes Useeba Bashir on sounds, Sheikh Saman on make-up, Tahil Ali on camera and Syed Jesarat, Faisal Hussain as Line Producers. (CNS)

"We have become a society that values process over people."
To those over 80. [and respectfully all younger]
January 2014, Day 16
"The digital technology you and I have seen grow in our lifetime, has been embedded into old organizations by the people within them and these old organizational paradigms are no longer value adding, but value destroying.
For me, from the viewpoint of a 'systems architect' our Court Justice System is not a value adding system. It destroys too much wealth. I don't believe that it can be changed from within itself. My experience from the 70's thru the 90's with large organizations revealed that only very highly talented (unique) individuals with many integrated degrees of academic knowledge can succeed in being the 'Change Master' equal to the task of moving from an 'intolerable national problem' to one of really adding value to our national Justice systems."

Taxing Thoughts: Tips to Fund your Retirement Account
For the first time in six years, limits for IRAs are rising. 401(k) accounts and IRAs will see an increase of $500 in contribution maximums for 2019. Check out the attached table for additional details.
How can you take advantage?
Contributing the full amount allowable to a retirement plan will maximize your tax savings and increase your compound interest earnings potential. Need help making these contributions a reality? Here are some ideas:
Contribute your raise or bonus. A great time to contribute to a retirement plan is when you receive a raise or bonus. It allows you to take some or all of the additional income and invest in your future without changing your current lifestyle. Your investment will go even further if your employer offers a plan that matches your contribution.
Cut your spending. Start by reviewing your ongoing expenses and creating a budget. Maybe you have a subscription you can cancel or a service provider you can contact to negotiate a lower rate. Then look for ways to reduce your spending on day-to-day expenses – like food, for example. Some ideas to lower food costs are bringing lunch to work, skipping the coffee shop, limiting dinner out at restaurants and shopping at less expensive grocery stores. Use this money to fund your account.
Add a side job. At some point, there are only so many expenses you can cut. Picking up some side income might be the way to go. Whether it's a part-time retail job or starting your own small business, the additional income might be enough to get you to your savings goal.
Automate your contributions. Most plans offer a way to contribute automatically. If you have a plan through work, check to see if it has an auto-escalation feature that increases contributions over time. If you are investing in an individual plan, set up auto contributions to pull from your bank account on a monthly basis.
Working through these ideas now gives you a great chance to take advantage of the benefits of funding new or existing retirement accounts. Why not take full advantage of the tax benefits they provide? Please call if you have any questions.

Single player Save/map completely lost :o( [The Island - Windows] My saved single player map (The Island), which I have been playing for 7 months, has completely gone. When loading the game the other morning (Windows 10 app - via Host/Local option), it went to the map spawn screen. My Level 100 character does appear intact, along with engrams and explorer notes. My tribelog is there. BUT I've lost all my bases, loads of high level dinos, all my materials and inventory, and several artifacts I also loaded the game on xbox under the same gamertag as I do crossplay/Play Anywhere with my daughter that way - and the map was gone on there too. I've logged a Support ticket. It being the Windows app, there are no mods or anything like that, and my PC runs fine with all drivers up to date etc. Has anyone else had this issue, and is there ANY way at all of getting any of our stuff back? My daughter is devastated :0{

"Brain nipple" was inspired from the experiences of an actual midwife. It was developed considering the importance of mastication, as well as with a wish for healthy growth for the baby. Once the baby starts sucking it, the secret wavy part stretches out to fit the mouth and tongue! The nipple lets the baby drink while moving their upper and lower jaw, as if they were being breastfed. This [round hole] type features a round hole at the end, which lets a certain amount of milk to flow out when tilted. It is designed to put milk on the tongue to trigger the baby's "drinking" instinct.

Loaves & Fishes board proclaims Esther's Kitchen spaghetti dinner 'amazing'
MARSHALL — Cindy Austin knows how to put an appetizing plate a food together.
And the board of directors for a Minnesota free-food program called Loaves & Fishes agreed. In December, the board awarded the site coordinator for Esther's Kitchen in Marshall the Golden Plate.
"I wasn't quite sure what it (the award) was for. Which plate it was," Austin said Tuesday, as she dished out food to guests in the kitchen located in the Christ United Presbyterian Church basement.
Austin found out which plate of food was the winner when Loaves & Fishes Executive Director Cathy Maes showed up at the kitchen before meal time.
"Yea, it was a spaghetti plate," Austin said. "We had some homemade coleslaw in there and fresh fruit," Austin said.
Maes explained all the site coordinators in the 26 Loaves & Fishes locations submit photos of their top food dishes each month. Then the board judges them and picks the winner.
"It's based on color, healthiness of the meal," Maes said. "We know if a plate looks good, people will come back. We look at ourselves as the largest free restaurant in Minnesota. So you don't come back unless the food looks good. So the food has to be good and the board of directors thought that meal she made at that given time was amazing."
Austin said her secret to making an appetizing plate of food is simple.
"I'm pretty much putting all of the me into it," she said. "I feed my family exactly the same things I make here. Between the fruits and the vegetables and everything this is what I made at home. Plus I worked at different restaurants."
Austin said she serves about 35 to 45 meals daily, Monday through Thursday in Marshall.
She said the number of people who show up for the free meals often depends on the weather. But she is hoping to expand those meals to 60 or 70 during the summer.
"We are real excited about her," Maes said of Austin. "This is her first time winning. It's kind of coveted."
Maes also said it's also the first time the plate has been awarded in Marshall. The plate lists all the award winners for the year.
"A lot of people ask why are we in Marshall?" she said. "People are hungry and we need to be here to help those in need. I tell people that needs in rural Minnesota looks a lot similar to the needs up in Minneapolis and St. Paul. We are happy to be here."
According to its website, Loaves & Fishes meal program started in 1982. The program now serves 2,000 meals daily throughout the state.
"We tell people we nourish in two ways," Maes said. "We nourish them with good food and we nourish them with company. A lot of people here haven't been with anybody all day. That really is an important part of our mission."

A government enterprise that is actually making a process easier and cheaper? That's what has happened with the FCC's latest action and as a result the Satellite Industry Association (SIA) has commended the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
The FCC action allows for a new, optional process to be used by satellites with certain characteristics, such as having a short on-orbit lifetime, a maximum wet mass of 180 kilograms, and having a mission profile designed to produce a low risk of orbital debris and spectrum interference. There will also be a new application fee category for small satellite applicants seeking a U.S. license or access to the U.S. market, and the adoption of a new small satellite regulatory fee category.
"SIA applauds FCC Chairman Pai and the FCC Commissioners for streamlining the licensing of small satellites and for their continued recognition of the significant leaps of innovation now happening in this fast growing sector of the commercial satellite industry," said Tom Stroup, President of SIA. "We truly are seeing a revolution in the satellite industry and today's action by the FCC can only serve and encourage continued investment in the small satellite communications, imaging and remote sensing markets while helping ensure continued American innovation and leadership in the overall commercial satellite industry."
FCC Streamlines Application Process for Small Satellites
WASHINGTON, August 1, 2019—The Federal Communications Commission today significantly streamlined the application process for a category of satellites known as small satellites. Its action provides an alternative, cheaper, and more flexible authorization process for this fast-growing segment of the commercial satellite communications market.
Small satellite systems have myriad uses, including scientific and research missions as well as communications and remote sensing, and are now increasingly used for commercial endeavors. Many small satellites are launched not as large constellations, but as part of small-scale operations consisting of a single satellite or only a few satellites. This new licensing process is optional and intended to cover these types of smaller-scale operations rather than the large constellations of satellites that are planning to provide broadband service or other satellite systems that require constant spectrum availability.
Given recent innovation in the small satellite sector and the increasing number of commercial operations, the regulations adopted today set out a new optional authorization process, within Part 25 of the Commission's rules, to govern satellite licensing that is tailored to small satellite operations. The new process addresses current needs in this evolving industry sector, as technological developments have outpaced existing Commission licensing rules and processes.
Specifically, this decision allows for a new, optional process to be used by satellites with certain characteristics, such as having a short on-orbit lifetime, a maximum wet mass of 180 kilograms, and having a mission profile designed to produce a low risk of orbital debris and spectrum interference.
Today's action also adopts a new application fee category for small satellite applicants seeking a U.S. license or access to the U.S. market, and adopts a new small satellite regulatory fee category.
Action by the Commission August 1, 2019 by Report and Order (FCC 19-81). Chairman Pai, Commissioners O'Rielly, Carr, Rosenworcel, and Starks approving and issuing separate statements.
IB Docket No. 18-86
