Projects & backgrounds
BLS is upgrading the Lötschberg Base Tunnel
The Lötschberg Base Tunnel is the centrepiece of the BLS infrastructure and a central element of the NRLA, the New Rail Link through the Alps. BLS upgrades the Tunnel. This will put in place the prerequisites for a half-hourly Intercity service between Bern and Valais. And freight trains will therefore travel more frequently through the Base Tunnel instead of using the Lötschberg mountain line, thus increasing productivity.
Since the Lötschberg Base Tunnel was first commissioned in 2007, it has been impossible to imagine Swiss transport infrastructure without it. Whether commuters on their way from Valais to Berne, holidaymakers travelling from German-speaking Switzerland to the Valais mountains or business travellers making the journey to northern Italy, the tunnel reduces the journey time for them all. Freight, too, passes through the Lötschberg section of what is termed the "Rhine Alpine Corridor" at all hours of the day and night.
7 Kilometer up to the double track extension
The Lötschberg Base Tunnel is now on the cusp of full capacity. More and more passenger and freight trains are travelling through the approximately 35 kilometre-long tunnel. The main challenge: only around 40% of the line through the base tunnel is twin track. A second 14-kilometre tunnel tube has indeed been cut, but it has not yet been equipped for railway operation. A further seven kilometres are still to be cut through, so that trains can travel continuously through the tunnel on two tracks.
Partial or full upgrade? The Swiss parliament will decide
In 2019, the Swiss parliament gave the green light for partially upgrading the Base Tunnel: BLS has the task of upgrading the railway infrastructure within the existing unfinished tunnel bore between Ferden and Mitholz. Major construction work is required in order to connect the new tunnel section to the existing single-track section at Mitholz. For this purpose, the tunnel must be closed for eight months. Owing to this lengthy closure, the Swiss parliament has commissioned the Federal Council to once more review the full upgrade of the tunnel. This is why BLS is also continuing to plan the project for the full upgrade, so that both project versions are available at a comparable level of planning maturity by late-2022.
At that point, parliament will have the choice: it is scheduled to decide by early 2023 whether it wishes to adhere to the previously approved partial upgrade or whether the tunnel should be fully upgraded. Until this decision is made, BLS will not issue its invitation to tender for the primary construction work on the partial upgrade. Instead, from 2022 onwards the company will conduct certain preparatory tasks required for both versions. The partial-upgrade project is also open to public consultation in the summer of 2020. This means that BLS can speedily implement the partial upgrade if this is the version that parliament ends up choosing. Should parliament instead opt for a full upgrade, BLS will publish a project amendment for public consultation.
Partial extension means
In the existing unfinished tunnel bore, a concrete floor will be built, the vault sealed with a special kind of sheeting and then clad with an inner tube of concrete.
Fitting the existing basic tunnel tube with railway equipment between Ferden and Mitholz:
a slab track will be built in. Instead of traditional ballast, the sleepers will be laid on a fixed concrete bed. In addition, catenary wires are to be installed along the entire length of the new rail tunnel.
Other technical equipment, such as ventilation and water systems, high-voltage plants and equipment, rail tunnel portals, radio equipment, lighting and safety equipment will be extended and adapted.
Installation of high-speed points in Mitholz, connecting the newly upgraded tunnel tube with the remaining single-track line. This set of points is 160 metres long, so that trains travelling at a speed of 180 kph (112 mph) can run through.
Installation of three additional sets of points in Ferden. This will provide the option of shifting maintenance work from one tunnel tube to another.
The second, existing, unfinished tunnel tube of the Engtsligen Tunnel between Frutigen and Wengy-Ey will also be fitted out with rail equipment and connected to the existing line.
Key facts and figures
Partial upgrade: 2025 – 2031
Full upgrade: 2026 – 2033
Cost (as of: Cost-benefit analysis 2015, +/- 30%)
Partial upgrade: CHF 920 million
Full upgrade: CHF 1.34 billion
Phased full upgrade: CHF 1.45 billion
Advantages of an expansion
Advanteages of a partial upgrade
This will make a half-hourly long-distance service between the Cantons of Bern and Valais possible
It will reduce production costs associated with freight traffic, because trains will no longer need to take the significantly longer mountain route.This would make rail freight more competitive compared to road haulage and support implementation of the Federal Government's policy of transferring heavy goods traffic from road to rail.
The Alpine region continues to present topographical difficulties. Alternative options are important. The Lötschberg and Gotthard routes therefore offer complementary solutions.
The mountain line will be relieved of freight traffic. This will benefit both the environmentally-sensitive Alpine region and local tourism.
Advantages of a full upgrade
The full upgrade of the Base Tunnel doesn't require a complete closure of the tunnel. This avoids a negative economic impact.
The direct full upgrade is cheaper than the phased expansion and costs tax-payers less in the long term.
The full upgrade will increase timetable reliability and flexibility throughout the entire Swiss rail network.
The tunnel can be refurbished without disrupting rail operations.
410,520 This is the number of trains travelling through the Base Tunnel (as of late-2019).
A total of 50 passenger trains and up to 80 freight trains use the Base Tunnel every day. It is therefore operating at an average of 80% capacity – higher capacity utilisation of the rail line can scarcely be achieved if seasonal fluctuations are taken into consideration.
The base tunnel is 34.6 kilometres long. Of those, however, only 14 kilometres currently consist of double-track lines. Structural work is still being carried out on parts of the western tube, while another section has not yet been tunnelled.
In 2018, 31.3 million gross tonnes of freight were transported on the Lötschberg axis (Base Tunnel and mountain line). The market share of the Lötschberg axis in transalpine freight transport through Switzerland was therefore 47.7 per cent.

Você está acompanhando esta iniciativa? Da criação de uma nova revista trimestral online, the Past Discussed Quarterly, com os melhores posts dos blogs sobre a Antiguidade?
PDQ is a journal designed to provide a bridge between blogging and academia. It will provide stable citeable references for selected weblog posts focussed upon or of interest to the pre-Renaissance past. It is compiled from articles submitted by bloggers on a quarterly basis. The journal is available in three formats. There is a PDF downloadable copy for free. There is a paper copy which can be ordered via Lulu, which is set to the cost of printing and delivery only. Finally we intend that the journal will also be placed in a repository for long-term curation. Until the details are finalised it will be available in XHTML format from a server based at NYU's Institute for the Study of the Ancient World. PDQ is released under a Creative Commons BY-NC-ND licence, making it freely copyable. We are looking for submissions on any medieval / ancient / prehistoric topics from bloggers which fall into the categories below. Additionally each edition has a theme which we welcome submissions from historians and archaeologists of any period to contribute to. See the Calls for Papers for forthcoming topics. Submission deadlines are the ends of February, May, August, November.
If weblogs are producing material that's getting cited in peer-reviewed literature then why is PDQ necessary? Weblogs are transitory and may disappear at short notice. The same can be said of print publications, it can be difficult to secure a copy of a publication if its gone out of print - especially if the print run was only a couple of hundred copies. Weblogs can also be edited which means that two people citing the same URL might not be citing the same text. PDQ aims to provide a canonical version of the article in a citation-friendly format. It also aims to preserve included entries for a long period of time.

Q: How to only display fragments on navigation drawer if logged in I am new to android development. I will like to understand how i can develop a navigation drawer and only display specific fragments if the user is logged in. I have googled with no luck.
Example If user not logged in, the fragments the should see are:

*

*Login

*Store

*Help

But if they are logged in, the fragments should be:

*

*Store

*Orders

*Account

*Settings

Store is common because i want users to still be able to browse the store without login.
Do i need to create multiple drawers? One on a MainActivity which do not require login and another with the logged in fragments on a second Activity ie CustomerActivity?
Please any advice/guide would be appreciated.
I do not expect any code but if you have any, much appreciated.

A: You can create two menu resources files (menu_logged_in.xml and menu.xml) under the menu resources directory. (res / menu / xml files here)
E.g menu.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

        <item   android:id="@+id/menu_login"
                android:title="@string/string_menu_login"
                android:icon="@drawable/ic_login"/>

        <item   android:id="@+id/menu_store"
                android:icon="@drawable/ic_store"
                android:title="@string/string_menu_store"/>

        <item   android:id="@+id/menu_help"
                android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_help"
                android:title="@string/string_menu_help"/>
</menu>

Then in your onCreateOptionsMenu() you can check wether is logged in or not and inflate your menu according to that.
override fun onCreateOptionsMenu(menu: Menu?): Boolean {
        val inflater = menuInflater

        if(loggedIn)
          inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_logged_in, menu)
        else
          inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu)

        return true
      }

Remember to manage all ids in your onOptionsItemSelected() method to give them some actions:
override fun onOptionsItemSelected(item: MenuItem): Boolean {
        when(item.itemId){
            R.id.menu_store -> {
                //go to fragment store
            }
            R.id.menu_settings -> {
                //go to settings
            }
            R.id.menu_login -> {
                //go to login
            }
            ...etc
        }
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item)
    }

Ilja Faddiejewicz Cyon, także Elias von Cyon, Élie de Cyon, ros. Илья Фаддеевич Цион (ur.  w Telszach, zm. 23 października 1912 w Paryżu) – rosyjsko-francuski lekarz, fizjolog, działacz polityczny, profesor na Uniwersytecie w Sankt Petersburgu.

Życiorys
Urodził się w 1843 roku w Telszach (według niektórych źródeł w Poniewieżu) w rodzinie żydowskiej. Miał brata Moisieja (1840-?), również lekarza. Ukończył gimnazjum w Czernihowie. Studia medyczne rozpoczął w roku akademickim 1858/1859 w Akademii Medyko-Chirurgicznej w Warszawie, ale w tym samym roku wystąpił z uczelni "na własne żądanie". Od 1859 do 1862 uczył się na Uniwersytecie w Kijowie, a od 1862 do 1864 na Uniwersytecie Fryderyka Wilhelma w Berlinie, gdzie otrzymał tytuł doktora medycyny i chirurgii. W 1865 roku otrzymał tytuł doktora medycyny na Akademii Medyko-Chirurgicznej w St. Petersburgu. Od 1866 pracował z Carlem Ludwigiem w Lipsku i z Ernstem Brückem w Wiedniu. Od 1867 wykładał anatomię i fizjologię na Wydziale Fizyczno-Matematycznym Uniwersytetu w St. Petersburgu, był tam też dyrektorem Laboratorium Fizjologicznego. Jego studentem w tym czasie był Iwan Pawłow.

W 1870 został profesorem nadzwyczajnym na tej uczelni, a w 1872 roku decyzją ministra wojny Milutina, profesorem zwyczajnym fizjologii Akademii Medycznej w Petersburgu, wbrew decyzji władz wydziału. 21 stycznia 1873 roku wygłosił wykład inauguracyjny. W 1874 roku studenci zażądali usunięcia Cyona. W 1877 wyemigrował do Paryża, gdzie pracował z Claude'em Bernardem. W 1878 roku w Paryżu otrzymał tytuł doktora medycyny. Przyjął francuskie obywatelstwo i został we Francji do śmierci w 1912 roku.

Dorobek naukowy
Cyonowi jako pierwszemu udało się utrzymać pracę wyizolowanego serca żaby. W swoim doświadczeniu zapewniono przepływ surowicy przez serce, utrzymywano też optymalną temperaturę płynu.

On Wednesday it will be sunny during the day. In the evening clouds with local rain will prevail. Then it will become mostly clear. Morning temperatures will be around 12 °C. During the day they will reach a maximum of 22 °C. Low temperatures at night will be around 10°C. At noon southerly winds increase and are brisk with strong gusts.
On Thursday it will be overcast with light rain for a while. The evening will bring clear weather, apart from scattered clouds. Morning temperatures will be around 10 °C. During the day they will reach a maximum of 15 °C. Low temperatures at night will be around 9°C. Southerly winds will be moderate to brisk with strong gusts.


I am not one of these people who stay chirpily focused on the silver lining when the clouds gather over my head. So I have been vaguely put off by all those peppy articles lauding the upside of the down economy.
You know the ones I mean. Your house may be in foreclosure but, hey, there's less junk mail these days. You've lost your job but the shoe repair business is flourishing. You can't eat out in a restaurant but you'll have a healthier lifestyle cooking at home and taking long walks. Your 401(k) is in retreat but Match.com is flourishing and with it the possibility of romance, Dutch treat of course.
These bromides on the values of a disastrous economy are nearly as schmaltzy as the original 1920 Buddy DeSylva lyrics telling us to look for the silver lining: "Remember somewhere, the sun is shining." Right.
Nevertheless, I find myself seeing just the teensiest edge of silver — OK, pewter — when I think about the effect of the Wall Street debacle on one group: the college students tagged, without irony, as the best and the brightest.
During the boom, an outsized number of students raised on liberal arts and wrapped in ivy ended up taking their degrees to Wall Street with the goal of becoming masters of the universe. In 2007, a survey of Harvard's graduating class showed that 58 percent of men and 43 percent of women were going into finance and consulting.
It turns out that students themselves were also wondering what they were doing. As Harvard President Drew Faust said in her June address to the class of 2008, they repeatedly asked her, "Why are so many of us going to Wall Street?" — even as they bought their Acela ticket from Boston to New York. The answers included a "juggernaut" of recruiters, the promise of bright lights and big city, competition, prestige — and did I mention money?
The security isn't as attractive either. JPMorgan was once a winning lottery ticket, now it looks like a ticket on the Titanic. And the prestige? Did anyone see those masters of the universe facing Congress last week? Selling peanut butter is a more respectable gig.
We don't know exactly how the meltdown will affect students at these elite schools. Many are going to scramble to pay loans. More are applying to graduate school. But we may see more exploring and choosing their own Plan A.
These students are a competitive cohort. But in this economy, keeping up with the Joneses in your dorm is not the same. When I checked back with Faust, she put it wryly, "You can pick which sector you wish to be unemployed in." Poetry, anyone?
If freedom is just another word for no highflying job left to lose, it opens room for risk-taking.
And — dare I say it? — idealism.
I'll leave the silver liner notes to Faust. "When I graduated from college," she says, "I felt a much broader sense of the paths I might pursue and not so much pressure to make money. The students I encountered were feeling much more pressure and much less freedom. Perhaps that's been alleviated.
So the sort-of, kind-of, maybe silver lining could be a generation that isn't lost, but rescued. And with that I will return to our usual programming. Look, look, there's a huge cloud overhead.

VA – Updating the EXDB — All Types of Updates
This course is for the Query Letter Mailing process where we research online to find prospective companies to add to our EXDB for our clients' mailing.
This step includes looking up lists of films that might be on the topic — although many of our clients don't have a particular topic, it's a standard genre film. If it's just a regular genre film, we typically find the companies only in our EXDB.
But when there is a specific niche topic such as Faith-Based (Christian), Muslim, Environmental, or LGBTQ and such, then we may look up films that have to do with that topical area.
We will start by Googling that topic and then add the word film, so it might be "Christian Films," and such. Often times we'll find that a list has been made of those types of films and we will then begin our research on who produced it.
To do that, we look up the film on IMDBpro, go to the Companies tab, and evaluate whether those companies are qualified to add (based on guidance in this course).
As we evaluate and assess the production companies, we are creating a list of production companies on a (pre-defined) Google doc and will then add those companies to the client's producer list in EXDB. The companies we find may already be in our EXDB or we may need to add them.
In both cases — whether they're already in the EXDB or we add them — they need to have a code added to tell us they need to be selected for a given client.
All of this is explained and trained in this course.

Fast Response Not Necessarily the Best in Crimea
March 4, 2014 Jason Chuma	1 Comment
As matters continue to escalate between Ukraine and Russia in Crimea, many are quickly calling for action in response by the United States. They say it is our duty as a leader on the world stage, and claim that if the U.S. does not take action then it conveys to the world that we are inept and will not take action in response to aggression around the world. Of course, when people call for action they really mean military action. This is probably because utilizing the military is the most overt, visible, and rapid response. We are living in a very fast time. We used to think the 24-hour-news reporting cycle was fast, but then we discovered live-tweeting of world events. We find out about things quickly and along the same vein we want to see responses quickly. There can be no doubt in the media and public perception that if missiles start firing and troops begin landing then we are taking action. Though always defaulting to the military might convey action, it might not be the best course of action.
We too often confuse military strategy with grand national strategy and military power with national power. We oversimplify and forget the diplomatic, information, and economic aspects. When these are coupled with the military aspect we get the nice acronym DIME (diplomatic, information, military, and economic) that many of us are familiar with from doctrine. A military response would most certainly be the most rapid and overt, but those features alone do not make it the most appropriate. Military power is so much more than utilization of force. Possessing credible military capability can add validity to efforts of diplomacy, economics, and gathering of information. The military is an essential element of national power, but as the saying goes, if all I have is a hammer (or all I think about is a hammer), then all of my problems look like nails.
Unfortunately we tend to think of events in terms of a duel. Each side takes their predetermined shot and in the end whoever is left standing wins. In reality, international relations are more like a game of chess. You have many different moves at your disposal and every more you make (or do not make) will have implications for every following move. The question of what we lose or gain from action – as compared to inaction – must be asked. Inaction by a party does not imply maintaining a status quo. International relations are dynamic and continuously evolve regardless of whether the U.S. takes proactive military action or not.
If military action is not taken by the U.S. or NATO in Ukraine, what is to gain and what is to lose? If Russia expands its sphere of influence to encompass Crimea, it will secure control of Sevastopol and its coveted warm-water port for the Black Sea Fleet. This has been a strategic goal for Russia since the 17th century, but is it worth the cost? In the end it might be that Russia is winning the battle but losing the war. An invasion of Crimea could have long-lasting political ramifications that overshadow gaining lasting control of a warm-water port. Gaining Crimea could mean Russia losing its influence in Ukraine and Georgia. Seeing Russia's aggressiveness and willingness to take military action to achieve its goals could be just the motivation Ukraine and Georgia need to grow closer to NATO and the European Union.
This port is so nice and warm
Though it appears Russia will expand its influence to encompass Crimea, it may not be a lasting influence. The major ethnicities in Crimea are 58% Russian, 25% Ukrainian, and 12% Crimean Tatars. Even before the invasion, the Ukrainians were not very fond of the Russians, so the sentiment from Crimea's 2nd largest ethnic group will only worsen. Along the same lines, the Crimean Tatars have been very anti-Russian since the mid-20th century. Russia may gain its coveted warm water port, but it may come with a hornet's nest throughout Crimea that it will have to deal with for years to come.
It looks like about 58% of the people like us here
Even before committing forces in Ukraine, Russia had a lease for use of the naval base at Sevastopol, so Russia gaining control of Crimea is not a significant change in that respect. What is much more significant is it coming with the opportunity to expand the influence of NATO to former Soviet bloc nations and potentially having unrest in Crimea that Russia will have to dedicate resources to address for years to come. Military inaction in favor of expanded diplomatic, information, and economic actions in the region could be the best option.

One thought on "Fast Response Not Necessarily the Best in Crimea"
da says:
and if they continue on to threaten/take Kiev? seems like the Ukraine had little substantive interest in joining NATO up til now, NATO had little enough interest in them, and annexation or ensuring a Russia-friendly government in Kiev would certainly make that impossible. then you've got Russian aggression without effective NATO/EU/US response, and two NATO partner nations suddenly without the buffer to the Bear. not clear that they would go that far, but also not clear that they need to. the Crimea has been autonomous for a long time, has a large majority ethnic Russian population, and a Russia-friendly government. what if they just hold what they've got, support independence for Crimea, and develop an agreement for use of the port? I'm all for using all elements of DIME, but a little leery about waiting before making some strong moves. that just lets Putin claim 'normality' if enough time goes by without a strong response.

Interesting vertical sequence at the bottom on positive holds. Then in the upper half an interesting less-than-vertical sequence on less-positive holds.
Start at the right side of the alcove and climb straight up by a thin crack to a ledge. Scramble up through bushes to the next rock face. The complex crack sequence on the left side is the Madara variation of the Red Knob route (easier). On the right edge of the face is the Manticore Upper Arete (easier).
Climb up the obvious vertical crack 5 feet left of the arete for 15 feet. Up a little higher passing a crack diagonaling up left - (Variation: Follow this lower diagonal crack). Bear left at the next higher crack diagonaling up left (without using the wider zig-zag crack a foot to its right, which is on the Manticore Upper Arete route). Up to finish about 5 feet left of the arete.
Could use the tree-sling anchor for Red Knob Madara Variation, which is about twenty or thirty feet below the top of the cliff, about ten feet climber's left (west) from the arete.
... Sigrun's Choice route in the Enclosure area.
. . . [ Manticore? | images ] . . .
At the right side of a seven-foot high alcove with a thin crack above. 15 feet right of the Dead Tree Dihedral. 10 feet left of the arete which forms the right edge of the Tower Wall. Top of route finishes about four feet left of the top of the arete.
Top: As of 2015, there are anchor slings (? for the Madara variation of the route Red Knob ?) roughly at the top of this route -- about five feet west (climber's left) from the top of the arete (of Manticore Upper Arete).
. . (warning: Using this as an anchor for Top-Rope could result in a falling climber swinging substantially sideways to climber's left).
Top-Rope: Top anchor can be set up with static line off tree -- likely need to use two trees to handle the angle. Or control rope angle by using a sling from the tree anchor which is twenty to thirty feet below the top of the cliff, about ten feet climber's left (west) from the arete (requires a low class 5 move to get from the top of the cliff down to this tree, so recommend using a rope to reach it).
The rock is high-friction, so think about how to minimize rope drag for Top-Roping. If belaying from the bottom, seems like having the belayer stand below right from the Manticore Dihedral helps reduce rope friction.
. (Difficult for belayer at bottom to see or hear climber in middle and upper sections).
? Lead ? The thin crack in the bottom section is flaring, and does not hold Trad protection. Protection for leading the upper crux section is unknown.

We left our accommodation in Camps Bay on Sunday (not kicked out as it was already pre-booked when we tried making our booking) and went and stayed the last few days with the Van Selms at SACS.
They had invited us to stay longer but they are in the middle of their busy first term and, as much as we wanted to see them, we didn't want to impose on their busy lives. However, we did appreciate spending both weekends and a fair number of other evenings with them and getting to know Gregory and Pierre better. On this Sunday we had a gentle day (just as well as we had had dinner with them at The Hussar Grill in Camps Bay on Saturday and we all needed a gentle day).
We walked down through the school (in its glorious setting in Newlands – near to the international cricket and rugby stadia) and had a coffee in a the local coffee bar.
I then visited a little more of the school with Barry the way back and then we had another lovely family braai (hope I have spelled it correctly this time Pierre).
In the evening we enjoyed another meal at home with some more of their friends (with a Bristol connection).

I am at my whits end! You see I think my husband has taken a mistress. Of course, there are many noble men who have mistresses but I cannot help to feel like I have been cast off, ill used, and forgotten. We own a large house on a college campus and so we often rent out rooms to help make ends meet. Well, one of our new tenants has a love for vintage books (my husband collects the stupid things) and now they are off every saturday to go parous the bookstores and garage sales and then they're pouring over things in our small library at all hours of the day and night. I know you must think its all my head but I tell you its not. She's stealing him away from me. The way she brushes seemingly innocently against him when she passes by or pretends to hand things to him but then accidentaly touches his hand! The other night I decided to see for myself so I snuck down the hall without making any noise to the library. I could hear their talking inside and then there was a thumping sound, and I knew that was it. So I opened the door and there they were, both on the floor and her face red from giggling. And when they both turned to look at me you could just see the guilt on their faces. And then afterward she has the nerve to come and try and talk to me and tell me it wasn't what it looked liek and that they just dropped a book or something. She obviously thinks I'm pretty stupid! I am trying not to let on that I know exactly whats going on, I figure that way I can let them hang themselves when they think that they are getting away with it. What do you think Mr. Knightley? Am I wrong? I'm not, right! They deserve what's coming to them! I'm the one that was the victim here. I'm the one that was wronged! I can't just let them treat me like this.
It is always a sad occasion when a loved one's love begins to wander. And while it is regrettable, you must now ask yourself what you will do. Some women may believe their spouses regardless of whether or not they think they should and give them the benefit of the doubt. Others may play along as if they do not know whats happening only to suddenly and swiftly take their revenge. There are even some ladies I have heard of who have made arranegments with their husbands that either party may entertain others at their own discretion. However, before you jump to any or all of these, I would suggest that you speak with your husband about this. Yes, he will most likely be defensive, but if he still cares for you, he will also listen, and the two of you may be able to work things out before they quite possibly needlessly come to a head. Either way, if you're having martial problems because of the young lady in question, you should ask her to move out first. This will bring much needed clarity to the situation. And as a final word of reccomendation, I would suggest that you show some interest in your husband's passions. His fedility may not actually be on the line, but rather, he may simply be responding to someone showing mutual interest in the things he values. You do not need to enjoy vintage books. Rather, enjoy the joy and excitement that they bring to him. If your marriage is to survive this ordeal, you shall both have to find some sort of common ground to build it up.
I'm so embaressed. Oh my god I cant believe I'm even writing this. Yesteday my boyfriend came over and we were in my room making out and stuff and my mom came in and saw us(details removed) She doesn't know we're dating cause she and my dad said I can't date till I'm out of high school but I'm a senior and she's just driving me crazy! They're super religios and like that.Anyway she didn't yell or anything but didn't say anything either so I don't know. Should I just let it go and not bring it up? It's super awkward and I kinda want to just tell them its my life, you know! Anyway, should I confront them or just act like nothing happened? I don't know what to do.
Ps. I may not been wearing (details removed) when she came in…Actually he was just about to(details removed) and then I (more details removed) but that was it.
Well, I… I um…. let me just see here. I hope you do not mind but I did take the liberty of editing some of the more… extravagant details from your message. I mean no disrespect of course, I am merely thinking of the sensitivities of some of my readers. But I do think your question is a valid one and should be answered.
In short, I think that experience often proves that heeding the advice of someone older and wiser can be very much in your favor. And your parents can only be seeking your best interest and advancement in attempting to limit the amount of men in your life at this point in time. You may mistakingly place your affection in a fortune hunter or perhaps a man of less noble intentions, only to have your heart and dreams shattered. Not to speak of your own and your family's honor. Now is the season of life that you should be refining yourself, polishing all of your finest skills and noble traits that an honorable man will seek in his future companion.
Regardless of whether you head my advice or not, I would strongly recommend you go to your parents and attempt to make amends. No matter how poorly their parenting may have been or how strongly you feel their interest conflicted concerning your future, they are still your parents after all and unless you are considering elopement (which ends poorly more often than not) you will have to live with them for maybe some considerable amount of time. Go to your mother, contrite and with humility, and ask her forgiveness. Sincerely if at all possible, but in the very least, for both your own comfort and her own, with the appearance of sincerity.
Youth can be a most trying season, and often it seems the end of the world. This is the magnificence of youth, to see all in greatest wonder and terror. When looking back, you'll see the insignificance of many of your current tragedies. But you will also have something else. The flames you kindle now will be the sweetest to your memory, the loves the dearest to your heart. Take great care where you plant your affection, for it will be present with you for the rest of your days.
Post Script: Again, I mean no offense but for future correspondence sake here is a small note: the correct spelling is embarrassed, yesterday, and religious.

In Petite Opera's THE MIKADO, if you're caught flirting, it's off with your head!
Limited run: April 20-May 5.
Hold the Dates! You don't want to miss it!
Legend has it that W.S. Gilbert attended the first Japanese Exhibition in England, purchased a samurai sword as a souvenir, and hung it over his doorway. Searching for the next suitable plot for a collaboration with Sir Arthur Sullivan, he was literally struck by an idea -- when the sword fell on him -- to set the next operetta in Japan... and The Mikado was born.
The story is fun and twisted in typical Gilbert fashion. In the Japanese town of Titipu, Ko-Ko, a man condemned to death for flirting, is instead released and granted the title of Lord High Executioner. Unknowingly, he agrees to execute Nanki-Poo, the disguised son of the very eccentric and comic Mikado (the emperor), and all types of comic situations arise! The cast of characters is rounded out by a town nobleman (Pish-Tush) determined to have Ko-Ko execute himself, an arrogant, greedy nobleman (Pooh-Bah), three little maids (Yum-Yum, Pitti-Sing and Peep-Bo), one of whom (Yum-Yum) is to marry Ko-Ko but loves Nanki-Poo, an elderly woman (Katisha) pursuing Nanki-Poo, and an exquisite ensemble of maids and gentlemen of Japan.
The marvelous score by Sir Arthur Sullivan is sprinkled with tunes you know and love, such as "Three Little Maids", "I've Got A Little List", and "Here's a How-De-Do". And for those who track popular culture, you're sure to love some of the modernized lyrics, courtesy of talented local writer H.R.T. Guillen (who contributed to Petite Opera's original productions Al Fresco - Life through Opera-Colored Glasses).
Petite Opera is proud to bring Gilbert and Sullivan back to Park Ridge with this production by presenting one of the team's most popular collaborations. And Petite Opera's production has it all -- outrageously fun characters, wonderful singing, impeccable comic timing in true over-the-top British fashion, exquisite acting, marvelous sets, costumes and choreography all set to orchestra in an intimate space. This show is 100% family-friendly, and suitable for all ages.
If you're a Gilbert and Sullivan fan, like musical comedy, if you loved Petite Opera's Al Fresco, or if you just want a fantastic evening out, you're sure to love this wonderful production.

Politics Why the CIA Thinks Russia Wanted Trump to Win
04:35 13 december 2016
04:35 13 december 2016 Source: nbcnews.com
Art Briles really wanted to coach Houston, Cougars said no
Houston's in the market for a new head coach, and there's apparently some internal debate as who the hire should be. Saturday morning, ESPN's Brett McMurphy reported the Cougars will interview at least five candidates, including Art Briles.But for obvious reasons — Briles was fired from Baylor for his involvement and cover up of several sexual assault cases involving football players — Houston athletic director Hunter Yurachek released a statement, explaining they have no plans to interview Briles despite the former Baylor coach's interest.
In the weeks after Donald Trump was elected president, CIA analysts who work on Russia updated their assessment about Russian cyber meddling. They previously had assessed that Russia was trying to undermine the U.S. presidential election, but after Nov. 8 they came to believe that Russian interference was ultimately designed to help Trump win.
Why Baker Mayfield should win the Heisman Trophy
Baker Mayfield bounced back from his team's slow start, leading the Sooners to nine consecutive wins and the Big 12 title, a testament to his leadership and poise.So you're looking for a Heisman Trophy winner, and you want it to be a quarterback. You'd prefer someone with a penchant for clutch plays, a guy who can stuff a stat sheet while leading his team to big wins. I know exactly who it should be: Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield.
Related: CIA Concludes Russia Mounted Hacks to Help Trump Win
This latest finding fed an already blazing public dispute between the U.S. intelligence agencies and the president-elect over Russian interference in the election.
"I don't believe it," Trump said in an interview broadcast Sunday on Fox News, disputing the notion that the Russians wanted to help him. "I think it's ridiculous."
Trump and his aides reject not just the CIA's updated assessment about Russian intentions, but the earlier consensus reached by all 17 agencies, and released in a rare joint public statement by Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and DHS head Jeh Johnson, that Russia was meddling in the election in the first place.
The seriousness of the gulf can hardly be overstated: many foreign policy experts and lawmakers believe Russia's behavior was an attack on the nation. One former CIA leader, Hillary Clinton supporter Michael Morell, likened Russia's intrusion into U.S. politics Friday to "the political equivalent of 9/11."
Trump, CIA on collision course over Russia's role in U.S. election
The president-elect mocked a report that Russian operatives intervened to help him capture the presidency.The growing tensions set up a potential showdown between Trump and the nation's top intelligence officials during what some of those officials describe as the most complex threat environment in decades.

In fact, the CIA's latest take is not the unanimous view of the intelligence community. Clapper, who oversees all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies, had enough confidence to relay the CIA's assessment to Congress in a secret briefing last week. But no similar assessment has leaked from any of the other 16 intelligence agencies.
The FBI, for its part, assesses that Russia's main goal was to sow chaos and undermine American democracy, a senior law enforcement official told NBC News. Helping Trump served that purpose, the official said, but Russia didn't expect Trump to win the election.
© SERGEI KARPUKHIN/AFP/Getty Images Russia's President Vladimir Putin walks past an honour guard as he attends a session of the Council for Civil Society and Human Rights at the Kremlin in Moscow on December 8, 2016. The CIA's assessment that the Russians favored Trump was not based on any single piece of new intelligence, officials briefed on the matter told NBC News. Instead, it was the result of more stringent analysis of a growing body of circumstantial evidence more detailed than anything the public has seen.
The Republicans are delivering America into Putin's hands
Russia has preyed on other nations before, but never one so strong as the United States of America. Trump and his party are helping the process alongAt the beginning of the 18th century, Poland was one of the largest states in Europe, a sovereign, multi-ethnic republic. By the end of the century it had vanished from the map, absorbed by the expanding empires of Russia, Prussia and Austria.
Human sources, communications intercepts and other intelligence have allowed analysts to piece together the identities of some of the players, and the steps they took to hurt Clinton's candidacy while boosting Trump's, officials said.
The CIA also noted that while Russian hackers gathered information on Republicans, they didn't release any of it, the way they did with Democratic emails leaked to WikiLeaks. The Republican National Committee denies its systems were hacked, but the emails of individual Republicans were collected—something NBC News reported in October.

The FBI believes the Russians didn't find anything explosive in the Republican material they obtained, the official said, although it's not clear whether any U.S. agency knows the full extent of what data Russian hackers were able to steal.
The CIA also tracked a campaign of anti-Clinton news stories amplified by social media, some of which originated with Russian state media outlets, officials told NBC News.
Exclusive: Top U.S. spy agency has not embraced CIA assessment on Russia hacking - sources
The overseers of the U.S. intelligence community have not embraced a CIA assessment that Russian cyber attacks were aimed at helping Republican President-elect Donald Trump win the 2016 election, three American officials said on Monday.The overseers of the U.S. intelligence community have not embraced a CIA assessment that Russian cyber attacks were aimed at helping Republican President-elect Donald Trump win the 2016 election, three American officials said on Monday.
The case that the Russian campaign was explicitly intended to elect Trump is not something the U.S. could prove in court, officials say, which in part explains why FBI briefers have been more reluctant to embrace that position in secret briefings to Congress than have intelligence officials. Other intelligence agencies have not endorsed the CIA view, but no entity is known to oppose it.
However, the question of motive—why the Russians allegedly meddled in the election — is entirely separate from the more basic question of whether the U.S. has strong evidence that the Russian government sponsored the covert campaign.
On that score, every intelligence agency in the government agrees: The Russians did it.

In October, DNI Clapper and Homeland security Secretary Jeh Johnson issued an extraordinary joint statement that "the U.S. Intelligence Community is confident that the Russian Government directed the recent compromises of e-mails from US persons and institutions, including from US political organizations."
One source familiar with the intelligence said it included profiles of some of the suspects with pictures, and could lead to eventual indictments of specific Russian actors, if the Justice Department decides to pursue them.
A brief history of the times the US meddled in others' elections
US lawmakers and officials continue to respond to CIA reports that Russia deliberately interfered with the November election in order to get Donald Trump elected. Yet, intervening in foreign election is nothing new, particularly for the US. For decades, American intelligence agencies have used clandestine tactics to put leaders into office who are favorable to US national interests. This practice of meddling dates back to the early days of the CIA and was seen as a necessary strategy to contain the Soviet Union during the Cold War.It's something Tim Weiner has explored in great detail.
The evidence on that score simply doesn't support Trump's recent comments that "It could be Russia. And it could be China. And it could be some guy in his home in New Jersey."
That is why the two Trump supporters who lead the Congressional intelligence committees, Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina and Rep. Devin Nunes of California, have each issued statements in recent days expressing concern about Russian hacking.
"The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence has been, and remains, concerned about Russia's actions," Burr said in statement to NBC News Friday.
Nunes said Friday: "Russia's cyber attacks are no surprise to the House Intelligence Committee, which has been closely monitoring Russia's belligerence for years."
On Monday, the top Republicans in Congress — Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Speaker Paul Ryan — each issued statements pledging to investigate Russian meddling in the election.

Ryan called Russia "an aggressor," and McConnell made a point of saying he has "the highest confidence in the intelligence community, and especially the Central Intelligence Agency."
On Monday, Sen. John McCain of Arizona renewed his call for a bipartisan hearing, but said he didn't believe Russians were trying to engineer a Trump victory: "That's the reason we need a full investigation, but I have seen no evidence of that."
It's unclear whether Trump has been briefed on the same evidence top Republicans have seen, because he has had only a handful of intelligence briefings since the election.
FBI backs CIA view that Russia intervened to help Trump win election
Some lawmakers had suggested that the bureau and the agency weren't in agreement on the issue.Comey's support for the CIA's conclusion suggests that the leaders of the three agencies are in agreement on Russian intentions, contrary to suggestions by some lawmakers that the FBI disagreed with the CIA.
Trump not only said he didn't believe the intelligence community's assessment — he suggested that the CIA was not to be believed in general, issuing a statement Friday night noting that "These are the same people that said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction."

Several intelligence officials told NBC News they were deeply disturbed by that statement. There is no historical precedent for a president-elect publicly maligning the intelligence agencies he is about to lead.
One big question now is how Trump's pick as CIA director, Mike Pompeo, will bridge the acrimonious gap between his boss and the agency he leads.
President Barack Obama does not intend to make it easy on Trump: He has ordered that a dossier be assembled on the evidence about the Russian covert operation.
A senior Obama administration official told NBC News that portions of that will be made public before January 20th.

Validating data against business logic
Data validation Defining the entrance criteria for a stage Module Quiz
Methods of data validation
Business logic data validation
Validation on a form
Validation on a stage
When you design a view, you add all the fields and controls that the specification requires. You must also consider how to ensure that the data values generated by users are valid. Valid data is required so that the system can process the information without error. Some data requirements are outlined in the following table.
Data requirements
The data must be the right type. For example, users must enter a number in a Total purchase units field.
The data must be restricted to possible values. For example, users can only choose a valid loan type by selecting the type from a list of options.
The data must fit the business logic. For example, a Date of birth field must be in the past.
To prevent processing errors, Pega Platform™ provides field types and controls to support validation requirements. Choosing the right control may be sufficient to satisfy a validation requirement. In cases where a control or field type is insufficient to perform data validation, Pega Platform provides data validation by using business logic to test fields with conditions. For example, you can use a calendar control to ensure that the data entered by users is a date, regardless of whether the format is dd/mm/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy. But you cannot use a calendar control to ensure that a Start date field in an employment history form captures a date in the past. Instead, you can validate the date is in the past using business logic.
You use App Studio to perform simple business logic validations that compare the value of a field against a constant value when users submit a form. You create conditions that define invalid data values so that an error message is displayed when the condition is met. If users generate a value that meets the condition for an invalid value, the system displays an error message and prevents the user from continuing the case until the issue is resolved. For example, you want users to enter a value greater than 100 in the Enter digit greater than 100 field. To configure the validation, you create a condition that states Enter digit greater than 100 field is less than or equal to 100. When users submit the form, the system evaluates the condition based on the value in the field. If the condition evaluates to true, meaning the value in the field is less than or equal to 100, then the message is displayed on the form.
Tip: Your error message should provide users with the information needed to identify and resolve the data validation error.
Business logic validations are often associated with processes in the case life cycle, enabling you to validate each field instance based on distinct business logic validations. The business logic validations that define acceptable values are separate from the fields that capture data. For example, a Date of birth field is validated when users enter the date on the field. The validation is not applied again when the field is used later during case processing.
Multiple forms may use the same field and apply different validation conditions for each instance of the field. For example, in the HR App, HR representatives enter information in two forms, the Job History form and the New Hire form. In the Job History form, an HR representative enters the start date of an employee who already works at the company. The HR representative must enter a date before the current date. In the New Hire form, an HR representative enters a start date for an employee who has not started work. The HR representative must enter a start date after the current date. Using two business logic validations, one for each business condition, you can ensure that the correct dates are entered on each form.
In App Studio, you can validate the value of a field when you submit a form or when the case enters a stage.
Check your knowledge with the following interaction.
You use business logic validations on a form when you cannot predict or control the value that users enter. You configure business logic validations on a form, and the validation is triggered when users submit the form. If users submit a form that contains a value that meets the condition for invalid data, the form displays an error, and the system prevents the users from continuing the case until users submit data that fails the condition. Use validation on a form when users can perform an immediate action to resolve the invalid data, such as entering a new value in a field.
For example, assume a form contains a date of birth field. The field type and control cannot prevent users from entering and submitting a date that is in the future. However, you can design a business logic validation to display an error if users submit a date that is in the future. The form can be submitted once users enter a date in the past.
In the center of the following image, slide the vertical line to view the step configuration to validate the Date of birth field on the left and the error message that is displayed in the form on the right.
You can also use business logic validation on a stage. Use business logic validation on a stage to ensure the application has generated the correct data and that users have entered the correct data or performed the appropriate actions before the case enters a specific stage. You configure business logic validations on a stage in the case type data model, and the validation is triggered before the case enters the specified stage. On a stage entry validation, if a data value meets the condition for invalid data, the case cannot enter the stage, and an error message is displayed.
Note: When an error message is triggered on a stage validation, end users need to have the ability to update invalid data or perform an action, such as returning to a previous stage or closing the case. It is up to the developer to configure the functionality that allows end users to resolve the validation error.
For example, in a mortgage application, a valid credit score must be available before the case can enter the underwriting stage. The application informs the user that the credit score is invalid, and the user is allowed to verify the credit history on file or cancel the process.
In the following image, click the + icons to read more about configuring validations in the case type data model.

Is it possible to have a nosejob and not look like you had surgery. Certainly! It is probably to most common fear of people undergoing rhinoplasty surgery that they do not want to look like their nose was "Done." All too often we see patients who have had bad nose jobs elsewhere and the result is unmistakable. Dr. Khorsandi believes that natural looking noses are the most desireable for most patients. In that regard, he strives to make sure that patients look like they were born with the nose that they achieve. Sometimes patient's can even fool friends and coworkers into not knowing what exactly has changed. A good rhinoplasty should blend harmoniously into the features of the face and not give away what has been done. That is the magic of a good nose job.

The Dano-Hanseatic War from 1426–1435 (as was the Kalmar War with the Hanseatic League) was an armed trade conflict between the Danish-dominated Kalmar Union (Denmark, Norway, Sweden) and the German Hanseatic League (Hansa) led by the Free City of Lübeck.

When Danish king Eric opened the Baltic trade routes for Dutch ships and introduced a new toll for all foreign ships passing the Øresund (Sound Dues), six Hanseatic cities (Hamburg, Lübeck, Lüneburg, Rostock, Stralsund, Wismar) declared war, put a naval blockade on Scandinavian harbours and allied with Eric's enemy Henry IV, count of Holstein. Therefore the war was intensively linked with the Dutch–Hanseatic War (1422/38–1441), the Kalmar War with Holstein (1409/22–1435) and the Swedish revolt (1434–1436).
After years of changing fortune in warfare Rostock and Stralsund signed a separate peace agreement in 1430. Lübeck, Hamburg, Wismar and Lüneburg, however, continued the war and assisted Holstein to conquer Flensburg in 1431. Thereafter they agreed an armistice in 1432 and started peace negotiations. Meanwhile an anti-Danish revolt broke out in Sweden (Engelbrekt rebellion). In 1434 Eric had to agree an armistice with the Swedes, too. In April 1435 he signed the peace of Vordingborg with the Hanseatic League and Holstein, followed by the peace of Stockholm with Sweden a few months later the same year. The Hanseatic cities were excepted from the Sound Dues but they had to accept Dutch competition in the Baltic trade. The Danish Duchy of Schleswig was ceded to the count of Holstein. Sweden's autonomous rights and privileges were extended. These peace agreements weakened Eric's position dramatically, and in 1439 he got dethroned by Danish, Swedish and Norwegian Privy Councils.

"I Feel Liberated!": How Eddie Got Free From $68,897.80 in Private Student Loan Debt
listen to this post
heytate · "I Feel Liberated!": How Eddie Got Free From $68,897.80 in Private Student Loan Debt
The names and details change, but the story I hear from my clients usually comes down to one thing: Student loan debt has a hold on their lives — their ability to pursue dreams, travel, start a business, own a home — and they want to break free.
My client Eddie B. told me straight up, "Being liberated from the debt of student loans will allow me to do what I want to do more freely and without obstacles."
In Eddie's settlement with Navient, we cut his private student loans from $68,897.80 to $20,000, which he'll be able to pay off in two years.
Before Eddie reached out to me, he was looking at paying on those loans indefinitely.
Here's how Eddie got free.
Somebody f----d Up … and it wasn't Eddie
After Eddie got his undergrad degree, he wasn't sure what he wanted to do next. He decided to enroll in grad school to study Spanish, but after about two weeks, he knew this wasn't the right move for him. So he withdrew from grad school.
But the school didn't process Eddie's withdrawal properly. And as a result, both the school and the National Student Loan Data System still had Eddie listed as an enrolled student.
And then dealing with the student loan company was hard because you'd talk to this person, then this person, and then they'd pass you off to this other person. In the end, there was no one who could help.
And, since these were private student loans, they were unsubsidized. When a loan is unsubsidized, it continues to accrue interest, which is added to your principal balance. This is called capitalization.
So Eddie would be paying interest on interest, dramatically increasing the time he would need to pay off his student loans.
And the worst part? He didn't even know this was happening because Navient, his loan provider, wasn't sending him any bills … because they thought he was still enrolled in grad school.
It was years before Eddie received his first statement from Navient, and by that time his loan amount had tripled to over $60,000.
It could all be so simple...
In an ideal world, Eddie could simply let the school and Navient know that they had made a mistake, and in turn, they would correct his loan amount. But we don't live in an ideal world.
"That process was very grueling," Eddie said, "Constantly calling, constantly trying to reach out to people. I couldn't just walk up to the financial aid office at the school, because I'm out of state. And then dealing with the student loan company was hard because you'd talk to this person, then this person, and then they'd pass you off to this other person. In the end, there was no one who could help."
After about a month of trying, Eddie realized he had choices: He could continue to make payments for the rest of his life on a never-diminishing loan, or let the loan go into default.
Or, he could find some help. And that's what he did.
But first...
Eddie did his homework
Before his cousin referred him to me for assistance, Eddie made some smart moves to lay the groundwork for success. These moves saved Eddie a lot of time, money and heartache in the long run. Here's what Eddie did:
First, he did the math.
He assessed the financial burden his student loans would bring if he continued to make payments on the ever-growing $60K+ in loans, for the foreseeable future. Bottom line: thousands of dollars thrown into a bottomless pit, robbing him of his financial freedom.
Eddie knew that while hiring a lawyer to help would cost him upfront, it was the best financial decision in the long run because he would be free of his student loan debt in a much shorter amount of time.
Next, Eddie realized that his situation was more than just about the numbers.
He looked at what his current loan situation was costing him in terms of his lifestyle, unmet goals, and unfulfilled ambitions.
Finally, Eddie considered his student loan co-signer. Telling them that their credit score would also be impacted in the short-term as he worked out his student loan issues? Yeah, that wasn't a conversation Eddie was looking forward to having.
Once Eddie had done all he could on his own regarding his student loans, he reached out to me. I told him it would take us about a year to get everything resolved, and that's exactly what it took.
In that time, we negotiate a student loan settlement with Navient for the following:
Instead of ~$70K, Eddie is obligated to pay back only $20 thousand in loans.
After an initial upfront payment, he'll make 22 more payments over the next two years -- less time, if he's able to pay above the monthly payment amount we agreed upon.
The settlement reflects thousands less in interest than what Eddie would've paid otherwise. Bonus: No further interest will accrue on Eddie's loans, so he knows exactly what he has to pay.
By the time Eddie is in his early 30s, he will be student loan free.
One last thing Eddie and I worked on:
How to explain both the costs and benefits of the settlement to his co-signer, who was already getting calls from Navient.
Eddie took control of the narrative by explaining in detail why our approach was best in the long run.
"It feels so liberating"
Eddie says, "Now that everything is done and settled, it feels so amazing and so liberating to finally have an end in sight, to see the light at the end of the tunnel."
For Eddie, the "light" is investing in real estate and buying properties. Without the burden of mounting student loan debt, his future looks bright and free.
Stop Stressing.
Hey, I'm Tate.
I'm a student loan lawyer that helps people like you with their federal and private student loans wherever they live.

The Wayne is a patchwork of ownership with private lands and other landowners interspersed with forest service lands. We have prepared a brochure which explains some of the unique issues related to living next to a national forest.


CHICO — About once a month for almost a year Henry Fong, operator of the Rice Bowl restaurant, has had to deal with an attempt to scam his business.
It's taken its toll on his time, his frustration level, and his faith in humanity, but so far he isn't out any hard cash.
Fong credits that to a sharp employee with Western Union, who told him a customer that contacted him by TDDY, a device deaf people use to communicate over the telephone, was probably running a fraud.
Fong said he was first contacted in August of last year through a TDDY call. The patron wanted to place an order for 200 pork bun sandwiches for an anniversary party.
The event was about a month away, according to the caller, who entered a credit card number for the charges, well in excess of $400.
At the time, Fong thought the order was likely coming from a local resident, and he would arrange to deliver the order.
He eventually found out some of the contacts were coming from a town in Kentucky or Ohio, in the 812 area code.
Later, the scammer contacted Fong again and said he was going to arrange for a driver to pick up the order and needed to add $200 to the charge to cover that cost.
Fong said he was later told the date for the event was postponed and other delivery arrangements would be made. As a result, the scammer asked Fong to return the extra $200 via a Western Union Moneygram.
Fong became suspicious, but said he hated to lose business, and had already invested a lot of time in filling the order for the event.
When he went to Western Union to arrange the return of the money, he was warned that the ploy is a known scam increasing in frequency.
Fong has continued to receive orders by TDDY about once a month and now ignores them.
"I don't know if these people are deaf or not, but this isn't fair to legitimately hearing impaired people who rely on these devices," Fong said.
As a restaurant owner, he added that he is very sensitive to meeting the needs of disabled patrons.
Fong said he's been able to get an e-mail address for at least one of the alleged scammers, and has told them he knows they are running a scam and using stolen credit cards.
He hopes the TDDY contacts will end soon. In the meantime, however, he said an attempt was made this week to scam his wife out of abut $3,000. The ploy was the well-known overpayment scam, often used by craigslist shoppers.
Fong's wife was selling a table on craigslist for about $300. A "buyer" who used a counterfeit check drawn on an online university in Clinton, Iowa sent it out for over $3,000, then contacted Fong's wife asking her to send back the difference, by Western Union, between the check and the asking price for the table.
After a year of dealing with the "pork bun" scam, Fong said he was wiser and a lot more wary.

Nakia, known for his larger-than-life, soulful vocal performances and ability to connect with an audience, is a true Austin success story. Since his arrival at "The Live Music Capital of the World" in 2002, he has quickly formed alliances with Austin's best musicians. Nakia rose to national prominence when a Los Angeles casting agent discovered a performance of him and his band, the "Blues Grifters," on YouTube. The viral video was shown to producer Mark Burnett, who after seeing Nakia's searing performance of the Blues classic, "Double Trouble," demanded that the performer audition for his new show, NBC's The Voice. Nakia's bluesy rendition of "Forget You" earned him a spot on Cee-Lo Green's team and quickly catapulted him into becoming a fan favorite. His show-stopping performances immediately earned him a spot as one of eight, top finalists for the show, and won him support from several superstars, including William Shatner, Adam Lambert, and Elton John. Nakia, along with his fellow Top Eight finalists from the show, recently toured across the country with The Voice Tour including a sold-out show at New York's Beacon Theatre. Nakia is currently writing material for his upcoming album that he will be showcasing at the 2012 SXSW Music Festival in Austin, TX.
