This is sound advice, the guy might be a shit bird or he might be one fine soldier. If so does he even know what is going on? Allow him to make good on the deal and cover his obligation to keeping her housed.

BTW I am not a SEAL. I can't even juggle balls But I am perfectly will to drink their beer!

There will be a Frogs For Freedom Benefit Poker Run in the Chicago area on May 15th. It will start at the Wildfire HD Registration is $40 and all proceeds go to support the UDT/SEAL Association and NAVSPECWAR Foundation. If you are interested all types of bikes are welcome. No need to be a Veteran but all Vets are certainly welcome to come out and support a worthy cause. POC: Mike Ryan class 48E - lostfrog48e@sbcglobal Please come out and support these guys, it will really help those who have done the deed and are in need. Thanks!

The claim is enough, standing in the presence of a Commanding Officer of a SEAL team and claiming it, is the kicker. He is in deep doo doo. I heard this story one night at a retirement piss up. "There was a Walmart greeter that had a Team hat on, an old fellow walks in, they are about the same age. The customer asks, were you a SEAL? He was feeling bad because this former warrior was working in a Walmart and he might be able to offer him employment. So the Walmart greeter went on to say he was the former Command Master Chief of ST8 To which the customer was really annoyed, he asked what years and the guy told him. The funny thing is the customer was CMC Herschel Davis, former Command Master Chief of SEAL Team Eight. I heard he told the guy to remove that hat before he came out of the store before he had no need for it."

Yep He is in his late 30's We're gonna stop and see him tomorrow as he unexpectedly had to leave before I went to pick my daughter up today. Maybe they were showing the SEAL beacon against the clouds.

Well diploma phonies are not committing a felony. Also a college degree does not involve risking ones life in the service of their country. Plus most college alumni are not tough Mofo's

Just dropped my daughter off at the gym to rock climb with her friend. The guy who works there starts telling me he learned to climb as a SEAL. I asked him what class he was in. He answered Four... When I go pick her up I am gonna have a talk with him in private. The CO will be with me. He was coming by anyways to drop off some reloading supplies and equipment that was from one of the boys who is getting a divorce. WTF is wrong with these turds?

Iraqi insurgents have reportedly intercepted live video feeds from the U.S. military's Predator drones using a $25.95 Windows application which allows them to track the pilotless aircraft undetected. Hackers working with Iraqi militants were able to determine which areas of the country were under surveillance by the U.S. military, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, adding that video feeds from drones in Afghanistan also appear to have been compromised. This apparent security breach, which had been known in military and intelligence circles to be possible, arose because the Predator unmanned aerial vehicles do not use encryption in the final link to their operators on the ground. (By contrast, every time you log on to a bank or credit card Web site, or make a phone call on most modern cellular networks, your communications are protected by encryption technology.) Meanwhile, a senior Air Force officer said Wednesday that a wave of new surveillance aircraft, both manned and unmanned, were being deployed to Afghanistan to bolster "eyes in the sky" protection for the influx of American troops ordered by President Obama. (CBS) When a Predator unmanned aerial vehicle, or UAV, is far from its base, terrain prohibits it from transmitting directly to its operator. Instead, it switches to a satellite link. That means an enterprising hacker can use his own satellite dish, a satellite modem, and a copy of the SkyGrabber Windows utility sold by the Russian company SkySoftware to intercept and display the UAV's transmissions. The Air Force became aware of the security vulnerability when copies of Predator video feeds were discovered on a laptop belonging to a Shiite militant late last year, and again in July on other militants' laptops, the Journal reported. The problem, though, is that the drones use proprietary technology created in the early 1990s, and adding encryption would be an expensive task. The implications of the Predator's unencrypted transmissions have been known in military circles for a long time. An October 1999 presentation given at the Air Force's School of Advanced Airpower Studies in Alabama noted "the Predator UAV is designed to operate with unencrypted data links." In 2002, a British engineer who enjoys scanning satellite signals for fun stumbled across a NATO video feed from the Kosovo war. CBS News correspondent Mark Phillips reported then on the apparent surveillance security shortfall, and the U.S. military's decision to essentially let it slide. The Air Force had hoped to replace the Predator with a stealthier, high-altitude version nicknamed "Darkstar," and the 1999 presentation by then-Maj. Jeffrey Stephenson noted that the new "high altitude UAVs will be capable of encryption." But the Defense Department informed Lockheed Martin that year that the Darkstar program would be terminated. Iraqi interest in intercepting U.S. military transmissions is not exactly new. A report prepared for the CIA director after the U.S. invasion and occupation noted that Saddam Hussein assigned a young relative with a master's degree in computer science to intercept transmissions from U.S. satellites. The relative, "Usama," was secretly given office space in the Baghdad Aerospace Research Center, which had access to satellite downlinks. The 2005 CIA report compiled by special advisor Charles Duelfer quotes Abd al-Tawab Huwaysh, Saddam's minister of industry, as saying he was shown real-time overhead video supposedly of U.S. military installations in Turkey, Kuwait, and Qatar before the invasion. A likely explanation, the report concludes, is that "Usama located and downloaded the unencrypted satellite feed from U.S. military UAVs." A 1996 briefing by Paul Kaminski, an undersecretary of defense for acquisition and technology, may offer a hint about how the Iraqi's interception was done. Kaminski said that the military had turned to commercial satellites -- "Hughes is the primary provider of direct (satellite) TV that you can buy in the United States, and that's the technology we're leveraging off of" -- to share feeds from Predator drones. "What this does is it provides now a broader distribution path to anybody who's in that downward receiving beam, for example," Kaminski said. So why, after the CIA publicly reported that Predator transmissions had probably been intercepted in Iraq, did the Air Force do so little? One explanation is that the contractor, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems of San Diego, built the system in the early 1990s before encryption was common and easier to include. (Computer scientists had warned at the time that the U.S. government's anti-encryption laws were counter-productive because they discouraged the development and routine use of that technology.) Bureaucratic inertia is another. As CBSNews.com reported last month, messages from President Clinton's entourage were intercepted in 1997, but Secret Service agents continued to use unencrypted pagers to share sensitive information about threats to the president's life on September 11, 2001. Perhaps it takes a front-page story in the Wall Street Journal to prod government officials into rethinking their views on the desirability of encryption. Update 1 p.m. ET: A spokesman for the Air Force, Maj. Cristin Marposon, sent us this statement: "The Department of Defense constantly evaluates and seeks to improve the performance and security of our various (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) systems and platforms. As we identify shortfalls, we correct them as part of a continuous process of seeking to improve capabilities and security. As a matter of policy, we don't comment on specific vulnerabilities or intelligence issues." http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/12/17/taking_liberties/entry5988978.shtml

Burning more fuel does not reduce emissions, the result is zero change or even worse. We did a statistical study based on real drivers and real conditions. Ethanol does not get the same mileage at all. Sure you get more pwer from ethanol, because you can burn more of it. Ethanol is oxygen bearing fuel so therefore you can put more in to get more power. We should all just burn Nitromethane if they want us to quit using gasoline. We can use propane if we went to all Nuclear, Hydroelectric or Solar/wind. Keep the gasoline and diesel for the military.

That was the plan

I got this one Scott. I PMed him. If he is a fake and has done something to disgrace them, you know the drill. Bunch of easy going guys and they have been very nice to me. I do not know whats worse, a fake SEAL or people calling a real one a phony (long nasty story)

Anyone with this type of setup can just take a picture, that would help immensely.

http://www.white-rodgers.com/wrdhom/common/ptech/hydronic/info_list_zone.htm#1311-102 I have two zones which must be slaved together, they were originally set up that way. I have one set up perfectly and it is connected to it's own thermostat. I have the other set up to the thermostat, but need to know how to connect the zone controls, i.e. which connection points from one to the other.

You seem to really like bald guys at the beach!

New to Google are you? http://pr-usa.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=331212&Itemid=96

Pretty good comparison, it is amazing however that in such a bleak or harsh environment there is so much life. When I am settled in and have been quiet enough for 30 minutes I start seeing quite a few animals, everything from mice to hawks, deer, squirrel, raccoon, crow, coyote and more. It is peaceful and serene, I like being out there alone.

Took this pic with my iPhone. 900 yds to that distant stand of trees. http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o42/warped60120/IMG_0265-1.jpg

Billy in the spring when the radishes get too big and tough the flowers make nice but spicy salad greens

Um, GSD? Just a guess... German Shepherd? GSD is a well known Acronym for German Shepherd Dog. Those familiar with the breed just use GSD, nothing weird or cryptic about it.

If you grow them in your garden the blossomed flowers are also tasty and good in salads.

Steamed with lemon, butter, sea salt and pepper. Raw in ranch or blue cheese To make home made blue cheese dressing take 1/2 sour creme, 1/2 miracle whip and blend in as much good blue cheese as it will hold. let it sit for 3 hrs in the refrigerator before eating.

That we know of It has been theorized that it may have occurred before but not by the hand of man. Read dude read, you will rise to the head of the class. http://www.ocrwm.doe.gov/factsheets/doeymp0010.shtml

Please tell me you get to listen to Teller speak.

Confident tough dogs are often like that. They will get on their backs to invite an attack otherwise the others will not feel like they should try and play rough. My GSD does that for smaller dogs. Otherwise they will not play like that.
