This drill press is an outstanding value for the money. There is no detectable spindle play so that drilling is extremely accurate. It includes a 3/4 HP motor that provides more than enough torque required for heavy duty, low RPM work and includes an adjustable work light as well as a dual beam laser assembly to make hole location easy and accurate. My only complaint is that the chuck will not close down small enough to accept a drill bit smaller than 7/64". It would cost Sears nothing additional to supply a standard industrial chuck, instead of the one presently supplied, that would accept smaller drill bits. Since I had another chuck at home with the exact same taper, I used mine instead and place the new Craftsman chuck in my junk bin. Other than my above complaint about the poorly designed chuck, this drill press is flawless, far better than those no name brands that have all sorts of spindle play making accurate drilling impossible. Good job, Craftsman. But, please change the chuck.

Have had it about a year and have had no problems. I use it for both wool and metal.

Went together easy. Works great. Did find that the box it came in is not the best material. Box had damage, the dock man opened the box and everything appeared find. When I put the drill press together I noticed the housing the switch was in was mashed. Contacted Sears and in about 2 minutes I had a new switch box being sent to me. While better than having to return the whole press it was a little disappointing that it anything was wrong in the first place. Packaging could be better.

Rugged drill press. Powerful enough for the handy man home owner. Easy to adjust the speeds for different types of drilling. Easy to assemble.

Haven't really had a chance to use the product as yet; but had to have someone out to fix it as the fan in the back of the motor was hitting the wall and sounded like it was falling about. Seas fixed it and it is now running smoothly.

Good dril press for the money. Stand is sturdy and well built, and most all parts feel pretty well built. Only gripe is the column and the bar that they mount the height adjustment teeth on, it still doesn't feel quite secure even after a good assembly. Would have been nice if that was affixed to the column more permanently.

Well I have a great deal of admiration for Plushenko.
I think he has amazing charisma and performs like a real showman.
I attended the Worlds in 2001 and seeing him in person made me appreciate him much more than I had previously.
Since then I have been amazed at his steel will, athleticism and sheer determination. I cannot think of many athletes who have accomplished what he has- and his comeback for the Olympics in 2010 after all he had already accomplished and after all that his body had been through baffles me.
Although I appreciate his showmanship - I have not been a fan of his choreography generally speaking and I do believe his technical prowess combined with his performance and charisma have led to his being overmarked in some PCS categories with COP. His style overall is one I appreciate but do not love, though I do understand the appeal to his many fans.
I have been taken aback by some of his comments and actions But I believe people underestimate the kind of personality it takes to achieve what champions do. Plushenko and Chan and Joubert, Slutskaya and Scott Moir to name a few are extremely competitive people.
It is the same part of them that drives them to be as amazing as they are that leads them to say or do things in the heat of the moment that people cling to to justify their hate of them. I am not justifying or excusing what they do or say and I do understand that other people who have achieved as they have don't have the same track record. I just don't think we should cling to those negative things forever and not allow ourselves to appreciate their greatness because of them.
However, I was also at the Olympics in 2010 and despite that Lysacek is not one of my favourite skaters - I don't have any doubt that he deserved to be champion. I really wanted Takahashi to win and for Lambiel to place higher- but I also believe that Plushenko finished ahead of them fairly - although I do believe with more of a point spread than earned.
As far as who is the greatest male skater since the 2nd World War - well I think there are many candidates and it depends on what you choose as your criteria. Longevity? Number of titles? Impact on the sport? Scores? Elements? Figures / no figures? Artistry? It might make an interesting thread! I would imagine getting a mutually agreed upon criteria would be difficult!
And even if you were to get it down to a science in order to calculate who is the greatest - even then - there would be people who would disagree.
And then of course - there is the question - whom do you enjoy watching the most? That will always be a matter of opinion.
These are my considerations:
Number of titles: only major competitons: 1time Junior WCH(14 years), 9 times Russian Champ, 7 times Eu Champ, 3 times W Champ,1 time Olympic Ch, 2 times Olympic silver medalist, 4 times GPF gold medalist, other gold medals of GP, other medals of Eu, and WCh,he was 15 years old when he was 2. in senior EuCH and 3. in senior WCH.
Longevity: e won his first world medal 1998, he was 15.
Dominance: I think it's unequivocal.
Impact on sport : I use Tomas Verner words: Last year he made his comeback by winning the Europeans' in Sheffield… He is a skating legend. Evgeni is a great skater. He proved he really is a legend. He was a teenager when he started to win competitions, and year after year your are amazed by his consistency. He gave so much to figure skating. He is an incredible athlete.
another interview:. Personally, to me is difficult to find a better skater than Plushenko in the history of figure skating.
Daisuke in 2006:
"oh, my god,, there was a God,,",
I felt amazing aura,, he couldn't hide it" etc..
Impact on people: no doubt: "Plushenko has brilliant technique, overflowing grace and art, charisma and humour...and he is spectacular, amazing, incomparable, top quality... simply the best. It's difficult to find enough words to describe such a talent. oh, I forgot something? Yes! So powerful, yet so elegant, and just an utterly authoritative energy. He never fails to amaze. PLUSHENKO!"
" The God is exist-he is the proof"
Verner: And it's without mentioning of Evgeni Plushenko - probably the only one skater in the world, capable alone to filed full arena.
Innovations : He landed the world first "Plushenko combination" 4-3-2 and 4-3-3, created beautiful and complex "Plushenko ring" spin. etc.
At the age of 16 Plush was the youngest skater to ever receive a perfect score of 6.0. He received a total of 75 6.0s before the new judging system was introduced, most of them are the artistry points.
Diversity: Bolero, Sex Bomb, Asissai, Nijinsky, Hafanana, St. Petersburg 300, Crazy Bird, Pasadena, Only You, Adagio, Tango and Flamenco, Godfather, Swan..need more?
But many other skaters also want to win Olympic gold. It should be a competition, not a coronation. Perhaps Plush's will and conviction are stronger than that of his competitors. We will find out if that is the case, and whether his body will be stronger as well. I feel sorry for Plush if he gives everything he's got and wins silver, bronze, or off the podium. However, being that the winter games will take place in Sochi, that will definitely combine with Plushenko's will and give him a greater advantage, particularly if he stays on his feet and brings the transitions and graceful artistry that he did not bring in either 2006 or 2010.
In any case, how could Plush's fans love him more, as he says he's hoping for?
I very much enjoyed Jeff's performance. Maybe he should start training quads with his eyes on Sochi?
Of post war skaters, I'd say Dick Button handily has that title. Plushenko's definitely up there, though.

By Howard Ulman Associated Press
Gloucester Daily Times
---- — FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The New England Patriots played one of their worst games on defense this season.
However when it mattered most, safety Devin McCourty made the play that won the game.
After giving up 35 first downs and 481 yards, New England stopped the Buffalo Bills when McCourty intercepted a pass thrown right at him in the end zone with 23 seconds left.
That interception clinched a 37-31 win on Sunday that was tougher than expected against a team that lost for the fifth time in six games.
"No matter what happens in the game, there's nothing bigger than turnovers," McCourty said. "A lot of times if you can just win that turnover ratio, you end up winning the game."
The Patriots began the day with an AFC-best plus-13 turnover differential. They increased that to plus-16 with the interception and two fumble recoveries, one in the fourth quarter that the Patriots recovered at their 1-yard line.
Not bad for a team with only the 22nd-ranked defense going into the game.
"Every time we've played these guys, we've been successful moving the ball," Bills running back C.J. Spiller said, "The guys on the sideline were very confident we could go down and win it, but they just made that play at the end."
Ryan Fitzpatrick even outplayed Tom Brady — until that last, errant throw.
Fitzpatrick completed 27 of 40 passes for 337 yards, while Brady was 23 for 38 for 237. Each threw two touchdown passes.
"It's frustrating when we don't play as well as we're capable of," Brady said. "Part of the mental toughness of the game is to put those things behind you and to keep playing hard. We did that and that's why we won."
The Patriots (6-3) lead the AFC East but let a 17-3 lead slip to 34-31 with 7:47 left on Fitzpatrick's 2-yard scoring pass to Donald Jones. Then the Bills (3-6) held the Patriots to a 27-yard field goal by Stephen Gostkowski with 2:06 to go.
A touchdown and the extra point would give Buffalo a victory.
But on second-and-10 from the New England 15, Fitzpatrick threw toward T.J. Graham and McCourty caught it in front of him and immediately went down for a touchback.
"The only thing you can ask for as a quarterback is a chance at the end to win the game and we had that," Fitzpatrick said, "but we weren't able to get it done."
New England is 11-0 against the Bills at Gillette since it opened in 2002 and 23-2 overall in its past 25 games against Buffalo.
The Patriots extended their streak to 11 straight scoring possessions against the Bills with a field goal and three touchdowns on their first four series
Sunday. In the previous meeting, a 52-28 win, New England scored on its last seven series: six touchdowns followed by a field goal.
But not even that could give the Patriots a secure lead and they entered the fourth quarter ahead 31-24.
"They didn't really hit us with a lot of big plays," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. "They've got an explosive group of skilled players and they got them all involved."
The Patriots led 24-17 at halftime, scoring on a 43-yard field goal by Gostkowski, touchdown runs of 1 yard by Stevan Ridley and 15 yards by Danny Woodhead, and a 2-yard pass from Brady to Rob Gronkowski.
The Bills scored on a 42-yard field goal by Rian Lindell, a 14-yard run by Fred Jackson and a 3-yard pass from Fitzpatrick to Scott Chandler with 31 seconds left in the half. Woodhead scored again on an 18-yard pass from Brady. But the Bills cut the lead to 31-24 on the next possession on a 1-yard run by Jackson.
Gostkowski's 48-yard field goal gave the Patriots a 34-24 lead 50 seconds into the fourth quarter.
The Patriots were coming off a bye that followed their best game of the season, a 45-7 win over the St. Louis Rams in London. The Bills need a sharp turnaround to avoid their 13th straight non-playoff season.
"Still a chance," coach Chan Gailey said. "I think we'll get there. I know I'm in the minority, but thank goodness I've got a group of guys in that room in there that, I think, think the same thing."
The Patriots have an excellent chance for a postseason berth in the mediocre division.
"If we can keep improving all the way down to the end of the season and string good games together," McCourty said, "we'll be in good shape."

WELLINGTON, Fla., Feb. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- GearSource® is pleased to announce a new venture for the purpose of growing its Mexican business. In cooperation with newly signed GearSource Licensee, SHOWCO SA, the company will launch a new website targeting a growing Mexican clientele. The site is expected to go "live" on April 1st of this year and will include all of the company's latest tools plus a few new surprises. When it goes live, GearSourceMexico.com (also GearSource.mx and GearSource.com.mx) will be offered in the Spanish language and will target individuals who are looking to buy and/or sell gear in Mexico.
GearSource founder, Marcel Fairbairn says, "We have spent years working to grow our Mexican business, but without the right partner in place, we never really found a solid foundation. With Showco, we not only have the right partner, but an industry leader who already owns a large share of the market and has excellent sales, support and management structure in place."
GearSource Mexico will be based from Showco's Mexico City headquarters and will employ a number of account executives who will work to gather listings and to sell product as well. "Our system was developed over 12 years now, to be not only the best marketplace for professional gear, but as a business that could operate from anywhere, and grow into additional markets within and outside the USA," says Fairbairn.
The goal for GearSource Mexico is to quickly become the market leader in used gear following the company's success in its other core markets. Enrique Lask, Director of Showco says, "We are very excited to consolidate our used equipment market with GearSource, a professional company who brings innovative ideas, cutting edge technology, more than a decade of experience and worldwide access."
Showco was founded in 2004 and is now a leader in the supply of audio, lighting and LED screens in the MI and professional entertainment markets with a network of more than 100 dealers throughout Mexico.
GearSource® was founded in 2002 by entrepreneur Marcel Fairbairn and has grown to become the leading marketplace globally for used gear. The company has its headquarters in the USA with offices also in Europe and, now, Mexico.

ALBANY – Yoko Ono and her son, Sean Lennon, came to the Capitol this afternoon to press Gov. Andrew Cuomo to stop his administration's consideration of natural gas fracking. (That's Sean standing to the left of his mother taking a photo with his phone.)
"Fracking kills," said the wife of the slain Beatle, John Lennon. "When John said give me some truth, what he was saying was, yes, we have to know the truth otherwise we won't survive. So let's give us the truth and I would like Governor Cuomo to make sure to meet us and tell us the truth as he believes it."
Ono and her son said they believed John Lennon would have joined the cause to try to block fracking if he was alive. Sean Lennon talked of the time he spent on the Catskills property his father bought. "Let's keep it beautiful forever," he said. Lennon said he first got involved in environmental issues when a company tried to build a pipeline some years ago near where his father purchased a house in Delaware County in the southern Catskills.
The two joined a number of environmental groups today in an attempt to deliver to the state's environmental conservation agency more than 200,000 comments from people they say oppose any attempt by Cuomo to permit fracking. The state is still studying the controversial process, which environmentalists say will create a number of dangerous problems but which is being pushed by others as a major job creation benefit for several upstate regions.

Mary L.M. ("Shellby") Shell, Died March 28, 2013
Mary Lila McDonald Shell, 83, mother of Jules Yuan Shellby of Traverse City, was liberated from her body on Thursday, March 28, 2013, at her home, Arbor House, as they held hands.
Born on May 25, 1929, she was preceded in death by her devoted, wildman husband of 52 years, Murphy Shell. Her exceptional intelligence, wit, and caring will also be missed by her children, Amy (Chris) Shell-Gellasch, Murdeen (Jerry) Shell Wilms, and David (Debbie) Shell; her treasured six grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; and "children" Sharon Steelman and Henry Hoenk. She was lovingly, capably cared for with priceless humor since 2007 by Sharri Craft, Linda Eager, Jessie Hall, Tanya Montgomery, Kerry Morey, Ashley Poertner, Cindy Robertson, Meda Fender, and many others, to whom the Shell family will be eternally grateful; they were her heart-daughters.
Born in Detroit, Mary graduated from Cooley High School in Detroit, followed by earning her Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Wayne State University. Working in Personnel at Square D and Parke-Davis, she met electrical engineer and future husband, Murphy.
She began her married life with his children, who she always considered her own.

Thanks a million! When my office manager quit she left me with tons of paperwork and thousands of dollars to be collected. On top of that, I lost all of the data in my computer. The staff at Marr Software was there for me to get me trained in how to use the system and to help me recover my lost data so I could get my business back on track. All in less than an hour just by making one phone call!!!! That is absolutely incredible! You're a lifesaver, without the help of the Marr Software staff I couldn't have done it! Thanks again.

The clinical signs of canine and feline heart failure are limited, but they must be distinguished from pulmonary dysfunction
and also systemic problems. Heart disease often results in secondary respiratory signs (e.g., coughing or dyspnea); conversely,
disease of the lung or its vasculature can result in secondary right heart disease (e.g., cor pulmonale). It is rare to find
in any individual instance all the signs and other abnormalities that may characterize a specific disease. More commonly,
an animal will manifest only some of these signs, usually in a way that the clinical elements of the disease emerge over time
rather than being grouped at the outset.
The definition of congestive heart failure is the failure of the left and/or right side of the heart to advance blood at a
sufficient rate to meet the metabolic needs of the patient or to prevent blood from pooling within the pulmonary venous circulation.
Asymptomatic Heart Disease.
Mild to Moderate Heart Failure
Clinical signs of heart failure are evident at rest or with mild exercise and adversely affect the quality of life. Typical
signs of heart failure include exercise intolerance, cough, an increased respiratory rate, dyspnea, and mild to moderate ascites.
Home treatment is often indicated at this stage.
Advanced Heart Failure
Clinical signs of advanced congestive heart failure are immediately obvious. These clinical signs could include respiratory
distress (dyspnea), marked ascites, profound exercise intolerance, or hypoperfusion at rest. In most cases, hospitalization
is mandatory.
Cardiomyopathy is a disorder of the heart in which the abnormality lies within the muscle tissue (myocardium). A secondary
cardiomyopathy is a disease that affects the myocardium secondary to infectious, toxic, metabolic, or other disease processes.
The majorities of cardiomyopathies diagnosed today are of unknown etiology (primary or idiopathic) and are currently classified
in the literature as representing the hypertrophic or intermediate forms.
Primary cardiomyopathies are classified according to their morphologic appearance:
• Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)
• Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM)
• Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM)
• Unclassified cardiomyopathies
Secondary causes of cardiomyopathy include:
• Nutritional (taurine deficiency)
• Metabolic (hyperthyroidism, acromegaly)
• Infiltrative (neoplasia, amyloidosis)
• Inflammatory (toxins, immune reactions, infectious agents)
• Genetic (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is suspected)
• Toxic (doxorubicin)
• Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)

There's one time we always remember to change our wipers - when it starts to rain. Unfortunately that's the worst time to tackle such an easy job. The next 10 minutes of your time, outside in the dry, sunny weather, should be spent replacing your windshield wipers, so check out these easy steps.
If your car has the newer style wiper blades, use this bracketless wiper installation guide. Or you can check it to see which type of wipers your car uses.
These are bracketless type wipers, common on many new vehicles.

I hope each of you had a good night's rest and I hope today will be a good day for all of us. The *S* word in back in the forecast...it will be only light...but I am so ready for springtime. I am ready for good weather, lots of sunshine and flowers with bright colors, birds singing and fresh air. I know that this time of year is getting closer.
For the new members, each Friday we have *roll call* and hope that each of you will join us on Fridays to say hello and bring the FMily up to date on what is going on with you or whatever you care to share.
This week has been a very long and stressful week for me. We now know that my granddaughter in indeed out of the state. The court has ordered them back to NC for a hearing. There is 10 days allowed for this to take place. So this is a start. There is indication that my little one is NOT in school. I do worry about this because this is definitely not in the best interest of a child.
My daughter has a day in court this morning. So this might get interesting. I continue to just hope and pray for peace and safety. It is hard though to be calm when there is so much going on.
I have now decided that so much can happen to a person without any cause and there are times when a person can NOT get any help with what is going on, no matter what the circumstances. This is actually very scarey as well as stressful. I do understand how innocent people can get convicted for things that they have nothing to do with....not a good thing at all, such as this helps nothing or NO ONE.
OK...so that's enough on what is going on in my corner of the world.
Welcome to the new members who have joined our FMily recently. I am sure that soon each of you will find something that will help you cope better. It does take a trial and error process in order to find the right combination of tools that will ease your pain and allow you to feel better. For me this has been vitamins and supplements, heating pads, Stopain Spray and remembering to pace, pace and pace even more. Drinking plenty of water and watching what I eat and keeping a schedule of sorts. Taking a hot shower using lavender bath salts right before I turn in at night and sleeping in a recliner.
Again I want to remind everyone to be sure and keep tabs on your Vitamin D level, which is important to a lot of people these days. Low Vitamin D can cause additional pain for some people and it can also affect other illnesses as well.
I hope everyone will have a warm and safe Friday.
My personal exchanges are Vitamin D and Pain and Wrath of the Dragon....if you care to visit..
Mine has worked out as far as the children returning home... Now the parents are having problems staying together... I believe they have fought so hard for the kids that they forgot each other along the way... It's sad... And just finding out... They say it may be irreversible... Too late for them... And more hardship for the grandchildren...
That is some of the stress I have been dealing with this week... That and some stress close by similar to it... Once again coming from a source not expected from...
Then of course we all know how FM reacts to stress... Throw in a MS and Parkinson's reaction and you have a very sick Nany and 2 very upset grandchildren... And 2 very upset sons... And then there was that good Dr friend that called every Day... Threatening the hospital every other phone call...
But I lived thru it... Thus this fine Friday... I am almost
FM flare free... not as weak so almost maybe in MS remission... I can suddenly see again so am more optical migraine free then last night... or 4 AM... LOL... And well... doing a great job at beating this keyboard up... LOL... And I am throwing things across the room if attempting to hold things... LOL... And Yes drinking my coffee with a straw... And Doing The Parkinson Dance... LOL... LOL...
So... No... The Parkinson's hasn't mellowed out... But what the hay... As long as I can stutter good enough for someone to understand and correct my typing good enough for you to read... I am sitting good... Right?? Right...
Well... If I want to read here and check some email... I better say good bye... You all have a glorious day... Hope many have as close to a pain free day as possible...
Take care... Love... Jan/Dakota
To day is cold and clear, with some snow flurries tomorrow. I hope it's light, because my downtown group is having an event from noon to 2. Out Chocolate Lover's Stroll is like trick or treating without a costume and is fun for everyone!
MiMi, I truly wish you and your family weren't being tested by these events. You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. I think of you every time I hear the new Montgomery Gentry song "I'll Keep the Kids". The gist is this: the wife made a list of everything she wants, from his grandmother's ring to the house, but there's "a couple little things Not there on your list" - the kids.
Jan, I wish you a great day as often as possible. I can't imagine dealing with everything you are, you are my hero.
Wishing you all the best day - and the best weekend - you can possibly have!
MiMI, they called for snow and even put brine on the roads and nothing came of it. Go figure. But perhaps you will not get snow after all as our weather becomes your weather within a few hours of leaving middle TN.
Also I do hope that things go well in court today I know you've just about had enough of court rooms these past years. And having your GD orded back to NC is such a good thing. Maybe now the courts will see what a mistake it was to give your ex DIL your precious GD.
It's nice here this morning, some clouds that over cast us then the sun breaks out so am hopeful that by this evening there will be sunny skies and warmer temps to finish off the day.
Last night the weather and temps were spring like here when DH and I went ot Olive Garden for dinner. so many resturants were reservations only so we went to Olive Garnden they don't take reservations. And because we went at 4:30 we beat the crowds by 1/2 an hour. When we left the parking lot for OG was packed and made getting out a hassel. We went shopping for a few things I had forgotten while out and then came home and had a nice eveing watching TV. A nice way to spend our 48TH Valentine's Day together.
Have a few plans for today, errands mostly and back home. I hope to get out to the movie theater tonight to see the movie OZ. I think it opens today. DH and I love all things OZ, as we once had the only prop Monkey left from the movie. My uncle worked on the film and took a rubber prop monkey home. It was along with the other props that were dropped into a trash can out side the special effects studio. The stuidos recycled all the things used in movies and the ruber props were going to be cut up and melted and remolded to other things. Anyway my uncle kept it for 30 years then gave it to my DH and said " I had it for 30 years now you take care of it for the next 30. "
After 30 years we gave it to the Wizard Of OZ musuem in Wammbago, Kansas. So having had that connection with the storyy of OZ DH and I try to see all the current productions of things about OZ. We Loved Wicked.. and so it gives us an excuse to go out on a Date NIght to go out and see them.
Not a lot to talk about so guess I will close this here with well wishes for all and I do hope that you have a really good, pain free fibro day.
Gentle hugs to all, Linda R
I have 3 years worth of *things* that my granddaughter will probably never use. As all of the holidays and special events took place when I get my grandsons something I also get *G* something as well. I have a bathroom shower which holds all sizes of clothes, some of which she will never wear now. It is really sad. But I also refuse to get rid of these things as well. I want her to know that I never forgot her during all of this. I miss her so much and love her more than she will ever know.
I have sent hundreds of emails to her...(but they were directed to her mom's email address) I am sure she never got any of them and she probably does not even know that they exist.
It worrys me a lot that she is not in school. The school attorney indicated her records have not been transferred anywhere. Even is she was home schooled the school would have to be notified. I happen to know that the ex is NOT qualified to home school my granddaughter.
My daughter has no idea just why the ex officer is *stalking her*...she tells me it is *reverse stalking*...he is doing it but accusing her of the crime. This has got to stop.
I am in the process of trying to connect the *inside connections* here to law enforcement. I know that they must be something. I spoke to the DMV this week and they provided me with a couple of resources that I can check out. I am now waiting to hear from one of them.
Law enforcement is not allowed just to provide information to anyone who calls in wanting to know who drives a vehicle with the Tag # that they give out...but this is what he stated to my son that he did. He called someone and it was verified that the vehicle belonged to my daughter's DH. There is so much going on everywhere. So who can people actually trust? I am not sure of anyone, at this time.
The Chocolate Lover's Stroll sounds like fun....I do like dark chocolate. I hope that everyone has a good time.
Take care. Thanks for all of the thoughts and prayers.
I do appreciate them so very much.
My personal exchanges are Vitamin D and Pain and Wrath of the Dragon....if you care to visit..
I'm so sorry for you (((((((hugs)))))))))
I was diagnosed with fibro about 4 years ago, but I think I've had it for a long time. I'm 36 and wonder if I feel this bad now, how will I function when I'm 60? I'm really scared. I also have interstitial cystitis, carpal tunnel, TMJ, vulvodynia, and nerve pain, among other things. My sister was recently diagnosed with MS, and I have so many of the same symptoms, that I'll be talking with my Dr. in March about that. He's mentioned having an MRI done before, but I have the Interstim implant, so no MRI's. I guess now they CAN do a brain MRI, but have to make sure settings are lower.
I've been trying to get off Effexor, and have been tasking 3 or 4 mgs less per day, so as to taper off of it. That may also be why I'm so worried and fed up with this disease. I've done a bunch of research, and one of my theories to the cause of all these autoimmune disorders may be preservatives, toxins, etc. I went vegetarian in Dec, and have also stopped drinking milk and pop. I've cut back on unnatural personal products over the past few years. I still feel like crap. I don't know what to do.
Thanks for reading.
I haven't been on for several days...I've been dealing with a massive flare brought on by all that shoveling. There has also been some stress here, and that doesn't help any.
Husband lost six days of work due to the snow...Today he found out he won't be working at all next week because his student's school is having their winter break. This means we won't be seeing another paycheck until MARCH 14TH, omg...That's almost a full month away!!
I am flaring too much to really panic...actually I can't afford to panic. We are okay on most of the bills for the moment, and the rest will just have to wait. But a month without a paycheck...AAAAACCCCKKKK!!! I'm doubly grateful I was able to get a bunch of dry beans and barley on sale yesterday for 79 cents a bag. We will be eating a lot of both. I won't be grocery shopping for a while now, that's for sure.
So that's been my day...I was really laid low by this flare and I'm trying to ride it out. But I will have to suck it up and get out there with the shovel come tomorrow. We're getting two snowstorms between now and Sunday morning and I have my client to take care of...Now I'm going back to bed!
Jen, welcome. This is a wonderful place to be. I am 38 and can relate to your struggles, although mine are fewer than what you are dealing with. I had a hard time with Effexor. Coming off it slowly is the only way. My side effects lasted for 6 months after being off it. I hope it goes better for you than I. Eating as clean as possible is very smart, you may not notice a benefit from it but if you reverted to your previous ways I am sure you would feel worse. Depression is an ugly word but it is a factor for many of us as. Do things that make you happy. Stress compounds what is already there. I hope you can mininmize anything negative. Keep coming here for support.
I am doing OK, my back is relentless, but I am dealing with it. I have been foggy the last two days. I hope that goes away, but it usually follows me with the shift work.
Take care everyone and enjoy the evening.
Mimi...can't imagine the stress you are under...oh wait..I guess I can imagine it..but I am so sorry you are dealing with all this..I surely will keep you and your family in my prayers...
Jan...so good to see you hanging in there...it isn't easy I know.
me..I just got off work..I have next week off...which means a smaller paycheck this month..but I have a long list of things to get done..so that is good..
The weather here today was nice..not hot ...but pleasant..

50.7 percent
$94.2 million
$100 million
On Friday, 4-year-olds at Clemson Road Child Development Center played with fake snow, built castles and romped on the playground, complete with a miniature race track and performance theater.
The children take monthly field trips and listen to visitors give presentations, said lead teacher Debbie Brady.
"We're trying to get them out doing things," Brady said, adding that experiencing new things – a key component of education – helps the 4-year-olds learn.
Of South Carolina's 60,000 4-year-olds, 50.7 percent attend some form of publicly funded 4-year-old kindergarten. But if a group of mostly Democratic lawmakers in the state House and Senate have their way, more 4-years-olds could go to kindergarten.
The cost? Roughly $100 million more for South Carolina taxpayers, one lawmaker estimates.
That amount already is spent in the state each year on 4K education. In 2010-2011, an estimated $94.2 million in public money, including $35.6 million from the state, was spent on 4-year-old kindergarten, according to S.C. First Steps, the state program that focuses on early-childhood education and oversees private 4K programs that receive state support. That excludes an estimated $41 million spent from the federal Head Start program.
Twin bills in the state Senate and House – sponsored by state Sen. Vincent Sheheen, D-Kershaw, and state Rep. James Smith, D-Richland – would expand full-day kindergarten statewide to 4-year-olds from low-income families.
But not everyone agrees the state needs more 4-year-old kindergarten programs.
State Education Superintendent Mick Zais, unconvinced that the programs produce any lasting benefits, does not support expansion, said spokesman Jay Ragley.
Sheheen and Smith want to make permanent and expand the state's Child Development Education Pilot Program.
That program, launched in 2006, was the state's response to a 2005 Circuit Court ruling that said the state should spend more on early childhood education. The state Supreme Court has yet to decide an appeal of that case, brought, two decades ago, by 37 school districts that argue the state does not spend enough on public education.
Child Development money now goes only to 4K programs in the school districts that sued the state. But Sheheen and Smith want low-income children statewide, regardless of their school district, to have access to full-day 4-year-old kindergarten.
The state Board of Economic Advisors has not released its estimates on how much statewide 4K would cost. But Sheheen estimates that the state's cost could be in the ballpark of $100 million a year. It is not an insurmountable figure, he said.
"We had almost a billion-dollar surplus last year," he said. "(The cost is) well within what the state could afford if we had the leadership and intestinal fortitude to go ahead and do it."
And GOP support. Without support from legislative Republicans, who control the House and Senate, efforts to expand 4K will fail. Some Republicans support the idea.
House Education Committee chairman Phil Owens, R-Pickens, agrees the state needs to expand its 4-year-old kindergarten program and, possibly, include 3-year-old kindergarten, too.
"Statistics have shown – and the evidence is there – that early childhood intervention in education is extremely important in keeping that child on grade level," Owens said.
Owens said he wants the state to work in partnership with private kindergarten providers to expand 4K. Those providers could lose business if the state goes into competition with them to educate 4-year-olds.
Expanding 4K education statewide has been tried before. In 2008, a bipartisan bill passed the Senate but died in the House because the recession hit, said S.C. Sen. Wes Hayes, R-Rock Hill, a cosponsor.
Hayes also is cosponsoring Sheheen's bill, which he says has a strong chance of passing if the price tag is not too high. Phasing in 4K's implementation, as Sheheen and Smith suggest, could hold down the costs, he said.
Expanding 4K also could keep the Supreme Court, which could rule at any time on the school-funding lawsuit, out of the issue, demonstrating that the state is willing to support improved early childhood development, Hayes said.
Not everyone agrees on the benefits of 4K education.
Gov. Nikki Haley was unavailable for comment.
"We need to fix K-12 education in South Carolina," said Haley's spokesman, Rob Godfrey. "The governor started an important and long-overdue, bipartisan conversation about K-12 during her State of the State address. She has continued that conversation with lawmakers and stakeholders, and that's where her focus will remain."
Education Department spokesman Ragley says there is no proof that expanding 4K would better prepare students for school.
He points to a study that shows third-graders who attended Head Start benefited initially, but that benefit had diminished by the third grade. The effects of early childhood intervention are "washed out" by the time a child enters third grade, Ragley said.
A 2010 study, conducted by the University of South Carolina, reported that children in the state's Child Development program made "modest and meaningful progress in language, achievement, and social and behavior development." Those positive effects continued as the children moved to kindergarten, the report states.

Childhood Nutrition Reauthorization Signed Into Law
On December 13th, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, also known as the Child Nutrition Reauthorization (CNR). NICHQ joins with our friends and partners at the RWJF Center to Prevent Childhood Obesity in celebrating the passage of this landmark legislation.
Dr. Dwayne Proctor, Director of the Childhood Obesity Program Management Team at RWJF summarized the magnitude of this legislation: "This is a huge victory for the 31 million students who participate in federal school meal programs and for all kids in schools. This law is a game-changer in our efforts to reverse childhood obesity - it improves school nutrition, increases program access, and puts an additional $4.5B towards child nutrition programs over 10 years – that's the largest increase to the authorization since it was started."
What exactly does the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act do?
Improves School Nutrition1
- The law allows the U.S. Department of Agriculture to update school nutrition standards for all food in schools, including offerings through vending machines, stores and à la carte lines. It provides the largest increase in school lunch reimbursements in 30 years (6 cents per lunch, which would be tied to schools meeting stronger school lunch standards).
- School meal quality also would be enhanced through stronger technical assistance to schools, improved meal financing and increased accountability regarding the foods schools serve and sell, and how they operate their programs.
- TheThe law strengthens local school wellness policies by updating existing requirements, increasing transparency, providing opportunities for community involvement and creating compliance measurements.
Increases Program Access1
- It makes it easier for children receiving Medicaid benefits to participate in school meal programs by using Medicaid data to directly certify eligible children, instead of requiring individual applications. About 115,000 more low-income children will receive free school meals each year as a result of the bill.
- An additional 21 million after-school suppers will be served to at-risk children by 2015, and after-school sites would receive roughly $14,000 in additional revenue per site, on average, per fiscal year. The law also establishes nutrition requirements for these after-school programs.
- Schools will receive $40 million for farm-to -school and school-garden programs to bring more healthy foods into schools and support local agriculture.
- The legislation will spend $4.5 billion on child nutrition programs over 10 years. That is 10 times as large as the last reauthorization.
- The law is partially paid for by eliminating a $2.2 billion temporary increase to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits that was part of the stimulus package. This offset was the source of some opposition by House Democrats.
- The reduction in SNAP benefits would not go into effect until 2013. The White House has committed to working with Congress to restore the SNAP funding.
We at NICHQ would like to thank everyone who's worked so hard to get this vital legislation through Congress. What a victory for child health!

The Journal Express
---- — Estimates from the Iowa League of Cities indicate that the City of Knoxville stands to receive $1.7 million less in property tax revenue over 10 years after the Legislature's property tax reform is implemented and assuming "backfill" from the State. City Manager Harold Stewart went on to say that this does not include other changes, strictly reforms for commercial and industrial property tax payers.
"It's not as bad as originally proposed," Stewart said. In anticipation of less revenue to continue to provide services to the community, the Knoxville City Council passed 5 percent franchise fees on gas and electric bills. Stewart believes that the loss of revenue through the reform will be voided, due to the franchise fee revenue. In future budgets, more of the franchise fee funds will be used for police, fire, public works and other departments.
Property tax reform was proposed because Iowa has some of the highest rates in the nation. Reducing the burden is expected to encourage economic development.
Stewart said the State will have to wait to see if this strategy works and Iowa becomes more desirable to developers. He added that the City of Knoxville has been progressive in trying to spend less money than it takes in and finding ways to increase revenue. As costs increase, budgeting will become more difficult in the future, but he remains committed to finding ways to keep the community moving forward.

Sure, it's Oscar season. But the Oscars are the ghosts of Movies Past — last year's movies, yesterday's news.
It's 2013. What do THIS year's movies hold in store for us?
We've got remakes of Evil Dead, Old Boy and Carrie, reboots of Superman (Man of Steel) and Mr. Patriot Games (Jack Ryan).
There are, of course, sequels galore, from Iron Man 3, Star Trek Into Darkness and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For to Monsters University, A Good Day to Die Hard, Fast & Furious 6, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, RED 2, 300: Rise of an Empire to The Best Man 2, Thor : The Dark World and — shudder — Anchorman: The Legend Continues.
Will the second Hunger Games (Catching Fire, Nov. 22) improve on the first one? Will The Desolation of Smaug (Dec. 13) be a shorter, quicker Hobbit than the first one?
Is Ender's Game (Nov. 1) the next Hunger Games?
Does Tom Hanks (Captain Phillips the one about the Maersk Alabama hijacking, Oct. 11) still have box office clout? Does The Hangover (Hangover III) still have legs?
Just from scanning the hundreds of titles slated to head our way this year, it's obvious that it may be more of a guy's year at the movies than usual — even with a Hunger Games sequel. But there are plenty of pictures with intriguing combinations of story, cast, director and place within the zeitgeist to give us hope. Here are 10 of them:
• Oz the Great and Powerful (March 8) is Disney's prequel to The Wizard of Oz, how the Midwestern magician landed in Oz and became a wonderful wizard. This could be this year's John Carter, or it could be the film every child is dying to see over spring break.
• The Heat (April 5) will be the second Melissa McCarthy comedy (after Identity Thief, Friday). Is there such a thing as too much Melissa? Sandra Bullock spent WAY too much time after winning her Oscar to get back into the swing of things. A buddy comedy will be her first project in theaters this year, with the sci-fi epic Gravity awaiting a release date.
• Pain & Gain (April 26) teams up Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson as musclehead ex-cons, a couple of dopes, who stumble into crime. Nobody does buddy pictures like Wahlberg, and the trailers are a hoot.
• Star Trek Into Darkness (May 17) appears to be a J.J. Abrams re-engineering of the The Wrath of Khan and the original ''Khan'' episode of the first Star Trek series. He's got Benedict Cumberbatch as his villain and a rumor of a Wrath of Khan-style death of a principal character. Curious to see how he pulls this off, because you know he will.
• Man of Steel (June 14) has a star (Henry Cavill) who has had a few shots at box office success, and a director (Zack Snyder of 300 and Sucker Punch) who could use a hit. So there are doubts. But the first trailer brought Superman film and comic book fans to tears. This could be special.
• World War Z (June 21) promises to be the ultimate zombie picture. With zombies all over TV, and over-exposed by Warm Bodies (Feb. 1), this delayed Brad Pitt vehicle has its work cut out for it.
• Pacific Rim (July 12) looks like Godzilla meets Transformers. But it's from fanboy favorite Guillermo del Toro, and is the big budget sci-fi movie he chose to do instead of hanging out with The Hobbit for years. So we'll see.
• White House Down (June 28) has Channing Tatum as a Secret Service agent fighting his way through 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. after paramilitary terrorists take over the place and seize the president.
• Rush (Sept. 20) is Ron Howard's take on an epic era in Formula One racing, the Niki Lauda/James Hunt duel on the world's fastest, most dangerous race tracks back in the 1970s.
• The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (Dec. 25) was a famous James Thurber story about a man who lets his imagination run wild, contributing to his arrested development. Men acting like children was unusual in the 1940s. Can Ben Stiller & Co. spin this funny, if dated, concept into comic gold?

Over boos and hisses from opponents of PG&E's Smart Meter program, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) voted today to of recieving the controversial wireless digital meters.
In a unanimous decision, the CPUC adopted a set of program modifications, which allow PG&E to recover costs associated with replacing Smart Meters or letting customers keep older analog devices.
The CPUC said that the Smart Meters are meant to help reduce energy consumption by wirelessly monitoring usage and allowing customers to opt-in to energy conservation programs. .
The metering systems are being installed as part of a nationwide "smart grid" in 25 states around the country, CPUC President Michael Peevey said.
Opponents of the meters argue that the meters emit harmful electromagnetic
signals and radiation, and that FCC standards don't go far enough. Critics have also raised concerns about the privacy and data security issues related to the meters, and about .
Peevey quoted studies by the Federal Communications Commission and , which concluded that potential negative health effects from SmartMeters had not been "identified or confirmed."
Customers electing to keep analog meters will be assessed an initial fee of $75 and a monthly charge of $10. Low-income customers can opt out of the Smart Meter program for an initial fee of $10 and an ongoing monthly charge of $5.
Speakers from across Northern California packed the commission CPUC auditorium in San Francisco, some demanding that the CPUC reconsider charging fees for customers who opt-out of the program, others demanding an end to wireless meters altogether.
Residents of Santa Cruz, San Francisco, Marin and San Luis Obispo counties claimed that SmartMeters were responsible for headaches, dizziness, insomnia, and heart palpitations.
Fairfax, along with unincorporated Marin, continue to have a . In Fairfax, however, . In unincorporated Marin, the Sheriff and District Attorney have said they have no intention of enforcing the ordinance, but in Fairfax the moratorium has more backing from the town. It is unclear, though, if PG&E begins installing the meters in Fairfax, what steps the town will take to stop the utility.
The CPUC has said they will consider other concerns in a Phase 2 hearing, including the issue of community-wide opt-outs.
Fairfax Councilman Larry Bragman urged the CPUC to enact a moratorium on installations while considering these issues.
"Given the level of concern in our communities, there will undoubtedly be many thousands of customers who will elect to opt-out based upon individual medical concerns, and they should not, and cannot, be forced to pay a fee to do so," Bragman also stated in a press release.
Peevey said that the CPUC was responding to the concerns raised by the public by offering an avenue to opt out of the SmartMeter program.
"For those of you who want to opt out, you now have the option," Peevey said.
Do you think the paid opt-out goes far enough?

"The earlier you started today was definitely better. I had a good training the first day, but yesterday things didn't work out, and I was not expecting a win like this. The run was good, I like the terrain here, and it's a lot of fun. Surely it's special to have my mum here, winning in front of here makes me proud, and by taking the first win it definitely gives me more confidence for the coming races. I have good chances in super g, but in the technical races I will have to do my best". (Source: fisalpine.com)

---- — Gloucester police arrested a "well-known heroin dealer" on Saturday shortly after 6 p.m. following an undercover drug probe, according to a police report.
Police arrested Richard Deoleo, 46, of 17 Washington Square after they observed him carrying out a drug transaction off East Main Street.
According to the police report, Gloucester officers have been working in cooperation with the federal Drug Enforcement Agency, which identified Deoleo as a major heroin supplier and street level dealer in Gloucester and across Cape Ann.
Based on past research and surveillance, police identified Deoleo's car, a black 1997 Cadillac Catera. Police arrested Deoleo on the way back to his car, where he gave them a struggle.
He was held on a $20,000 bail and transported to Middleton Jail.
He is being charged with distribution of heroin, a class A substance, distribution of heroin in a school zone and resisting arrest.
After learning a suspect was staying at an apartment building on 222 Main St. in Gloucester, police arrested Michael Kuch, 26 of Mill Street, Manchester, Monday at 8:20 a.m. on five separate warrants for his arrest.
The police report indicated that "Mr. Kuch has a long history with the Gloucester Police and is known for running when confronted by police."
The renter of the apartment said Kuch was not inside, but gave police verbal consent to enter and search the area. Police then found Kuch next to a bed, with his head stuck under it, according to the report.
Police did not outline specific charges listed in the warrants.

Quartz Solid Wood Heirloom Wall Clock- Model #: YW046Q
Hand-carved heirloom clock will be treasured by your family for years to come! Elegant wall clock gently reminds you that each minute is golden! Old world craftsmanship makes this hand-carved timepiece a real keepsake! Lovers of fine craftsmanship will appreciate the hand-carved solid wood case and its dark cherry finish. The brass pendulum swings behind the gold-accented glass panel and the brightly-polished brasstone face has classic Roman numerals. Beautiful to look at AND to listen to, this heirloom Colonial clock has chimes that serenade you and your guests on the hour and accurate quartz movement. Overall dimensions: 31"H x 12"W x 6"D. Uses 3 'AA' batteries (not included).
11/7/2011 - JAH - Hyde Park, UT
I bought this exact same clock in about 2008 and it has kept the time perfectly for over 3 years, and just a change of batteries. It is a really nice clock and you won't find another like it for this price. I have a daughter who wants it when we pass away and I sent her a catalog with it in, but she just wants ours because to her it is an heirloom!
10/27/2011 - SM - Brownwod, TX
I wanted it for my dining room. It fits in beautifully with the color of my furniture and drapes (Chocolate) . The walls are light color so the contrast is lovely. The chime is not loud so if you are in the same room you can still carry on a conversation. This looks like many of the $200+ clocks I looked at but did not want to spend the money. You can't go wrong with this clock and this would make a great gift. It is solid wood not a veneer, however, it does not have the smooth glass finish of the more expensive clocks but this not noticeable unless you run your hand along it. Chimes only on the hour not the quarter. The chime turns off midnight to 6 a.m. I really love it!
6/11/2011 - TD - SAN Antonio, TX
very good clock, to bad it dosn't chime corderly, but it is a very beutiful clock. i love it.
beautiful classic design; lovely to behold and listen to;
4/30/2011 - PS - Wauconda, IL
I have several clocks, many of which are pretty expensive which I very much enjoy. I was really a little hesitant at first,since the price of this clock was so very inexpensive. I was extremely very pleased when I received this clock.The clock was shipped very well packaged. This clock looks expensive, the wood case looks very nice in its rich brown mahogany color. When the clock strikes the hour,its tones are very pleasing to the ear.The clock does automatically shut-off its chimes overnight. The clock is well done, and for the money it is really a real bargain! The clock has been keeping very accurate time, ever since I put it up on the wall and It looks GREAT. I am very happy with this purchase.
12/29/2010 - S.H - Eastman, GA
Bought clock for my mother, and she loves it, great buy
9/9/2010 - CC - Madison, OH

2/9/2010 - DEP - Albany, NY
Everyone who has seen this says it is beautiful. I am glad to have it. The chimes are nice.

Adware in windows insltaller. ;( But none of adware in linux version. :) I smell some double standard.... Are you planning promoting linux by this way? lol :D
For a free product, this is the #1 dvd authoring tool you'll find - comparable and even better with many commercial products. It would rate 5 stars if not for the fact that during the install, it attempts to install crapware. PAY CLOSE ATTENTION to install screens and make sure you skip the page asking to install this junk. 1 star subtracted for this. Otherwise, a stellar tool.

Lindy Ruff wants to get a look at the new guy, so Drew MacIntrye will be the Sabres' starting goaltender in their preseason opener tonight.
MacIntyre was signed in the offseason to be the third goalie in the organization, giving Buffalo an experienced fallback behind rookie backup Jhonas Enroth. The 28-year-old MacIntyre is entering his ninth season as a pro and is highly regarded, as his minor-league salary of $200,000 would suggest.
"We've got another goalie we brought into the system, we're going to take a little look at him tonight," Ruff said in First Niagara Center, where the Sabres host Carolina at 7 p.m. "With five games in seven nights, we'll probably split the next one then kind of go every other game. Goalies like playing full games. They don't really like playing half a game, so I'll discuss the preseason, the tail end of it, with both Jhonas and Ryan [Miller] and go from there."
Enroth will play the second half of tonight's game.
"Jhonas will come in in relief like he may have to during the season," Ruff said.
