Veterans: New website for ordering contact lenses - VA News
I don’t wear contacts, so I don’t have a dog in the fight. But, I am in favor in getting all veterans all the help and support they need. We sacrificed more than most and many made a whole lot more sacrifices than I. I have all my limbs and faculties and and there are many that I am not worth carrying their seabags. 
My advice is if this doesn’t work our for you, fine get the best price wherever you can and go on your way. This 10% could be very valuable to just one of us. And if it only helps one of us it still helps us all. We are all in this together. And to my brother in Romania, I get that there can’t be VA facilities all over the world, but there must be someone, somewhere is this huge government of ours that can at least send you your meds.

This may not fit with anyone on this story-line…. That being said, I would be “happy” to see the VA and anyone they promote, like this VCS, to be available to me, in Europe! What is a Veteran afterall? A US born American, a Foreign born American? A soldier that served over 20 years who retired where family took him? Well, this is my case! I live in Romania with my family, and there are NO VA benefits around, anot even the promoted type here! I drive (1200 miles) or fly 3 hours, every 3 months to Germany (at a minimum cost of $800 dollars per trip) just to go to Wiesbaden, Germany in order to check on my PO Box (only 16 ounces permitted of mail) and refill my prescriptions! I do not complain, after all, I chose to go where my family is after serving our country for 20 plus yrs. Given that, I would be glad to see some real support by the VA, pressing the DOOD to take care of remote retired soldiers, even if costly to me, and to some of us who are by default forgotten overseas! Soldier for life, thanks!

Working under the direction of the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA), the CCC has responded to numerous pest infestations throughout California, assisting with eradication efforts.
Some pest infestations, such as the Mediterranean fruit fly (Medfly), require CCC crews to work within residential communities- going door-to-door removing and disposing of infected fruit or performing very careful visual inspections of vegetation.
If an infestation is found, the CCC works closely with the CDFA which directs and guides crews. On several occasions, CCC crews constructed thousands of incubation containers used to trap and identify Medflies and stop their spread.
Other pest infestations that the CCC has responded to include:

Mexican fruit fly
Gypsy moth
Light brown apple moth
White fly
Red imported fire ants

Whether you're a new drone pilot or have years of experience, rules and safety tips exist to help you fly safely in the national airspace. Anyone flying a drone is responsible for flying within FAA guidelines and regulations. That means it is up to you as a drone pilot to know the Rules of the Sky, and where it is and is not safe to fly. In most situations, its legal to fly a drone in areas within and around the Town of Mammoth Lakes municipal boundary (see map).

Bad (space) weather cancels pigeon races!

Bad (space) weather cancels pigeon races!
An ancient sport

Pigeon racing is a big sport that dates back almost 2,000 years. All over the world, there are people with the hobby of training and racing a special kind of homing pigeon. They take their caged pigeons to a spot that is a carefully measured distance from their home. Then they open the cages and time how long it takes for the pigeons to fly home. The pigeon with the shortest time gets the prize—or rather its owner gets the prize. The pigeon just gets tired, since it has flown as fast as it could for 60 – 600 miles or more (100 to 1000 kilometers)!

But how do the pigeons know where home is?

A pigeon racer releases his pigeons far from home and hopes to see them again soon.


It has taken a lot of scientific study to figure it out, and there are still questions. One thing that seems certain is that the pigeons can detect Earth’s magnetic field lines. 
Earth is like a big magnet, with lines of magnetic force that loop around Earth from one magnetic pole to the other. A compass needle will line up along the magnetic lines of force. That’s how humans can know which way is north. The pigeons seem to have a compass too, but it is “built in,” so they always know in which direction they are flying. We know they are not navigating by the position of the Sun in the sky, because they fly straight home even at night or in cloudy conditions when they can’t see the Sun.

While the pigeons don't use the Sun for navigation, the Sun does affect their ability to navigate. When the Sun is in a stormy mood, it blasts charged particles into space at high speeds.

How can I lower the chance of passing HIV to my baby?
Here are some things you can do to help protect your baby from getting HIV.
Start medicines to fight HIV
You can take medicines that fight HIV, called antiretroviral medicines, or ARVs, to lower the chance of your baby being infected with HIV. Studies have shown that when women take HIV medicines during pregnancy, the chances of passing HIV to the baby drop from about 20% to less than 5%.
Most HIV infected pregnant women need to take 3 different HIV medicines, including one called AZT (also called Zidovudine or ZDV) to best protect their babies from getting HIV. Taking 3 different HIV medicines is called combination or HAART therapy. Some women may only need to take AZT.
HIV medicines lower your baby's chance of getting HIV and should also keep you healthier.

Basic eFiling FAQ's | Superior Court of California | County of Tulare
Another way to think about it as anything that needs its own file stamp should be filed separately, as a lead document that gets its own separate event code. Multiple documents can be filed together in one envelope but each document to be filed needs its own event code.

Is there a size limit for the document that can be uploaded?

35 megabits for the whole envelope and 25 megabits for a single document. There have been a few initial problems here that have all been resolved by calling the EFSP. If the document is truly too big, and the EFSP cannot resolve, the document can be electronically filed in separate batches but please call the court to let us know that this is going to happen first so we can monitor and filings are not rejected in error.

What format do I have to save my document in?

PDF, however some EFSPs allow you to file as a Word document because they then turn it into a PDF for you.

Do I have to bookmark my document?

Yes, pursuant to California Rule of Court 3.1110(f), a document filed electronically with exhibits must include electronic bookmarks with links to the first page of each exhibit and a bookmark title that identifies the exhibit number or letter and briefly describes the exhibit.

Do I have to add OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to my document?

Yes, pursuant to California Rule of Court 2.256(b)(3), a document filed electronically must be text searchable.
For assistance you can contact the filer support number for the electronic service provider you are using.

Can Judicial Council forms be eFiled?

Yes. Judicial Council forms are fillable and can be uploaded for eFiling.

Will the court accept a scanned PDF when third party legal software is used to complete forms?

Yes. Forms completed using third party software can be eFiled as an uploaded PDF. Documents submitted via eFiling must be text searchable.

Do I need to scan a document that includes an original signature?

No. Retention of original signed documents is governed by California Rules of Court, rule 2.257 and Code of Civil Procedure Section 1010.6.

I've been told I need a special fire permit. How do I obtain it?
Hunting Licenses and Tags

A: No. Hunting license fees are nonrefundable.
Q: Why are hunting license fees nonrefundable?
A: Hunting licenses may be used for hunting any legal game bird or mammal. The purchase of hunting licenses and tags is an investment in the continued existence of California's hunting heritage. Funds raised from the sale of these items are used to conduct surveys and research, perform habitat maintenance and improvement projects, and meet the administrative requirements necessary to conduct all hunting seasons. Any reduction in this funding impacts CDFW's ability to perform these duties.
Q: I have a general deer zone tag (Zones A, B, or a non-premium D tag) that I want to exchange but the archery season has already begun, can I still exchange it?
A: No. Once the earliest season for that tag has begun, you cannot exchange it. You will have to purchase a Second Deer Tag. (Section 708.4, Title 14 of the CCR)
Q: Can I get a refund of my deer tag because the area where I hunt has been closed due to fire? 
A: No. Requests for deer tag refunds will not be issued for emergency area closures due to fire, weather or other natural disasters. (Section 708.2(b), Title 14 of the CCR)
Q: I cannot use my hunting license or tag. Can I give them to someone else?
A: No. By law you cannot transfer a license or tag to another person (Fish and Game Code, Section 1052(a)).

Post Season Tag Returns

Q: I thought premium draw tags could only be returned with a request to reinstate preference points before the first date the tag was valid. Why has this changed? Is this a one-time opportunity or is it long-term?
A: Due to the catastrophic and unprecedented fire seasons and temporary closures of public forest lands from the last two years, the CDFW and the California Fish and Game Commission (Commission) recognized the need to implement a long-term solution for future hunting seasons.

How do I become emancipated?

In Tulare County emancipations are filed in the Civil Division of the Visalia Courthouse or the South County Justice Center. Contact their department for more information on this process.

What to do if I am going to be late or failed to appear for a Court date?

If you are going to be late for a court appearance, contact your attorney immediately.

My child has a delinquency court hearing, am I required to attend?

Yes, a parent or legal guardian must appear with their child for court hearings. If your child is detained in juvenile hall, the judge may not release them from custody without a parent or legal guardian present.

My juvenile record was ordered sealed, do I have to disclose this information on job, school or other applications?

No, once your record is ordered sealed, the law treats those offenses as if they did not occur and your juvenile record cannot be considered in most cases. There are exceptions to this rule if you are applying for a federal position, in a health care setting, or to become a peace officer. The military may also require you to provide information relating to your juvenile record even if it has been sealed.
