Mission Statement: To discretely provide US troops shipping out overseas with the most sensually pleasing departure possible.
OTOFTC is a movement of like-minded women (women predominantly as of right now) who have covertly organized into groups to frequent eating and drinking establishments near armed service bases where troops are preparing to ship out overseas, and take one for the country, so to speak. We are a virtual organization and have no official headquarters or charter. We believe US service men and women deserve our support and we are willing to make caring choices about making them happy.
Kelly here! WOW!! - The site is finally up and running. I guess the time had to come. This site means this organization's existence is no longer covert, but remember, our missions should still be.

Pizza delivery calls used to nab deadbeats. I love this: the state of Missouri is using pizza delivery lists to track down people that owe court-imposed fines.David Coplen, the state office's budget director, said he discovered that pizza delivery lists are one of the best sources such companies use to locate people. "There are literally millions of dollars of uncollected fines, fees and court costs out there," Coplen said. [...] Databases compiled by private companies and government agencies are a key tool for firms such as ACS, Coplen said, and "one of the databases they find to be most helpful are pizza delivery databases." "When you call to order a pizza, you usually give them your correct name, your correct address and your correct phone number," he said. Moral of the story: if you owe money to the court, use a pseudonym when ordering pizza. Link (Via IP)

Secret Service interrogate 15-year-old for making forbidden art. A teenager drew some anti-war posters that were critical of Bush's policies, and his art teacher alerted school administrators, who in turn called the police. The cops went to the feds, and the Secret Service questioned the boy about his art. The drawing that drew the most attention showed a man in what appeared to be Middle Eastern-style clothing, holding a rifle. He also was holding a stick with the oversize head of President Bush on it. The student said the head was enlarged because it was intended to be an effigy, Cravens said. The caption called for an end to the war in Iraq.

Nanoscale spider-feet point the way to extreme stickiness. A Swiss/German research team have published an article in Smart Materials and Structures analyzing the feet of jumping spiders. These feet covered in nanoscale fibers depending from thicker hairs, and the overall bundle is small enough that the van de Waals force -- "an interesting form of adhesion is that, unlike many glues, the surrounding environment does not affect it" -- creates a very high degree of waterproof, grease-proof, dirt-proof stickiness.
X-NAS-Bayes: #0: 8.37468E-157; #1: 1
X-NAS-Classification: 0
X-NAS-MessageID: 81
X-NAS-Validation: {E681C936-E9F0-4DDC-9901-74301AF33E67}
"We found out that when all 600,000 tips are in contact with an underlying surface the spider can produce an adhesive force of 170 times its own weight. That's like Spiderman clinging to the flat surface of a window on a building by his fingertips and toes only, whilst rescuing 170 adults who are hanging on to his back!"
..The total van der Waals force on the spider's feet is very strong, but it is the sum of many very small forces on each molecule. The researchers believe the spider lifts its leg so that the setules are lifted successively, not all at once, and it does not need to be very strong to do this. All you would have to do to lift a future kind of Post-it® note is peel it off slowly.

Legoland deploys WiFi kiddee-trackers. The Legoland theme park has depoloyed tracker bracelets for kiddees based on WiFi tracking tag from Bluesoft.
Available for rent in the Information Office, a Kidspotter ensures that parents can always find their children whenever necessary. On entering the park, the wristband is placed on the child's arm. If parents lose sight of their child, they can send an SMS message to the Kidspotter system during their entire visit. They will then automatically receive a return message stating the name of the park area and the map coordinate of their child's position in the park. On their special Kidspotter map of the park, parents can easily see where to find their child. The Kidspotter kit consists of a small wristband with a tiny sender, plus a special Kidspotter map of the park.

Size, not weight, is the key factor in shipping logistics. The Royal Mail, which currently prices shipping on weight, is petitioning to change its pricing to be based on size -- apparently, size is the most important determinant of the actual cost of shipping goods.
Royal Mail's pricing structure has been in place for decades, and was inherited from a time when mail was sorted by hand...
Mr Dales said some customers would experience price rises and other price cuts, but the vast majority -- 74% -- would be unaffected by the proposed changes.

Sweet BBQ. The sun is out and the birds are singing and all my neighbors are roasting flesh on the communal patio, so I've been thinking about buying a BBQ. I think I just found it: the futuristic, portable Q:
Looking like a cross between the Starship Enterprise and a jet engine, the Q BBQ can be carried around like a briefcase, but opens up Transformer-style to become a stylish, stand-alone, gas-powered grill. Crafted in durable steel, the Q uses inexpensive little propane tanks that fit right inside the grill. You'll get hours of cooking time from just one tank! It also has dual gas controls with a full range of temperatures, so you can sear burgers on one side of the grill and gently toast buns on the other, just by adjusting the flame.
