Lol. Where to start. P!ssing in my wood filler, cutting all the ends to my extension cords, shuting all power off in my unit on their breaks,doing very shody repairs and over billing for them, thinking I am the one geting robbed by my boss (selfemployed) and telling me how good they have it when I am driving the better truck and living in the better neighborhood. And the best doing a 200+ man walk off when i started a job because i am considerd an artist for some of the work I'm capable of, which none of them could do, not to mention the idle death threats that were slung out from the crowd on my way in. NOT TO MENTION THEY WOULD NOT HIRE ME AS AN 18 YR OLD BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW THE RIGHT PEOPLE, WAS NOT A MINORITY OR FEMALE.

Meet the Bosses of the Ohio Education Association
It pays to be in charge of Ohio's most powerful progressive group
By: Jason Hart (Diary) |
Ohio Education Association (OEA) President Patricia Frost-Brooks was paid $267,916 in dues taken from Ohio teachers during fiscal year 2012, according to the union's latest staff and officer data submitted to the U.S. Department of Labor. More than a hundred OEA employees and officers were paid six figures during the same period, as the union gave $77,500 to progressive groups who demonize "the rich" in the name of bigger government.
Frost-Brooks, the Ohio Democratic Party's "Democrat of the Year," was one of seven OEA employees and officers paid more than $175,000 from September 1, 2011 to August 31, 2012.
- Patricia Frost-Brooks, President: $267,916
- Larry Wicks, Executive Director: $222,167
- William Leibensperger, Vice President: $193,766
- James Timlin, Secretary-Treasurer: $189,640
- Bonnie Joseph, Labor Relations Consultant: $181,319
- James Martin, Assistant Executive Director: $178,009
- Thomas Jowhar, Labor Relations Consultant: $175,816
OEA bosses routinely portray Ohio teachers as underpaid and under assault. A quick review of the dollar amounts these individuals take from Ohio teachers reveals a stark contrast from their political posturing.
For instance, a page on the OEA website titled "The Truth About So-Called 'Right to Work'" warns,"if you look just beneath the surface of the 'right to work' cause, you will see a campaign that is built on distortions and predicated on lies and whose unstated purpose would undermine workers' safety, economic security and well-being. The true goal of right to work is to put more money into the pockets of corporate shareholders."
OEA currently faces a class-action suit from more than a dozen educators forced to pay hundreds of dollars each year in "fair share" fees due to Ohio's lack of a workplace freedom law. The teachers claim OEA and several of its locals have failed to adequately account for spending and justify the amount of mandatory dues taken from their paychecks.
For rhetoric even more outrageous than what OEA publishes on its own website, the union turns to front group We Are Ohio, a campaign committee funded primarily by OEA dues. OEA leans on the lie that We Are Ohio is a "citizen-driven, community-based, bipartisan coalition" when promoting We Are Ohio-branded talking points via the union's magazine and social media accounts.
In addition to We Are Ohio, OEA bankrolls several other progressive organizations devoted to the higher taxes and bigger government necessary to maintain the salaries listed here. In the past fiscal year alone, OEA gave $25,000 to Innovation Ohio, $22,500 to ProgressOhio, $20,000 to Policy Matters Ohio, and $10,000 to One Ohio Now.
Continuing down the list of total disbursements reported to the Department of Labor, 18 OEA employees were paid between $150,000 and $175,000 in fiscal 2012.
- Kevin Flanagan, Assistant Executive Director – Member Services: $170,881
- Venita Shoulders, Labor Relations Consultant: $168,976
- Rachelle Johnson, Assistant Executive Director – Member Services: $166,814
- Donald Dalton, Labor Relations Consultant: $166,119
- Susan Babcock, Assistant Executive Director: $164,768
- William Pearsol, Labor Relations Consultant: $160,463
- Diane Tieman, Labor Relations Consultant: $157,496
- Patricia Collins Murdock, Regional Director: $156,091
- V. Randall Flora, Director Of Education Policy: $155,573
- George Bozovich, Labor Relations Consultant: $154,794
- Linda Fiely, General Counsel: $154,592
- Cristina Munoz-Nedrow, Regional Director: $153,562
- Jeffrey Kestner, Regional Director: $152,728
- Parry Norris, Regional Director: $152,636
- Mary Suchy, Director Of Membership: $152,511
- Rodney Bird, Labor Relations Consultant: $152,074
- Talmadge Hutchins, Labor Relations Consultant: $151,968
- Robert Matkowski, Labor Relations Consultant: $150,023
A total of 119 OEA employees and officers were paid more than $100,000 during the most recent fiscal year. Another 17 OEA employees were paid between $75,000 and $100,000 in member dues.
Above and beyond the millions OEA spends each year on six-figure salaries for over 100 employees – and the tens of thousands OEA shovels to progressive lobbying groups – OEA devotes a huge portion of member dues to politics. Media Trackers has cataloged the ways OEA trains, endorses, and promotes liberal candidates for state offices, boosts liberal candidates for national offices, and viciously smears any opponent of big government.
In 2011, OEA took $54 from each member to fund We Are Ohio, which was created in part because OEA has given itself a bad name. In 2010 alone, OEA was picketed by members of its own staff and settled a class-action suit against retirees whose health insurance benefits the union slashed.
This year, OEA increased member dues by $22 in order to dump nearly $2.5 million into Voters First Ohio, the labor movement's failed takeover of Ohio's political map-making process.
When the one you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.
So a CEO of a failing company making millions of dollars can't be vilified and a Union President making a fraction of that is evil, imagine that, what color is the sky in your world?
The union has it's place. What is typical is the union in an area of the country is not much different than their non-union counterparts. Work ethic is work ethic. I was a union member first in Los Angeles 25 years ago, most people worked 7 hours a day for 8 hours pay. I moved back to the midwest 3 years later and it got a lot closer 8 for 8. I moved into management 12 years ago and my salary is based on the union guys scale! I did strike duty for 6 weeks in New York City about 10 years ago and have never been so ashamed of human beings in all my life! I was offered a job by just about every building I worked in. These very highly paid tradespeople had contacts hooked up to timers so equipment would fail after hours so they would get double time callbacks. Couches, sleeping areas, adult magazines and misc. non-working items cluttered their areas. Work ethic...

When settlers started arriving in Western Australia nearly two centuries ago, they were mesmerised by the light, heat, long horizons, and vast expanses. By the 20th century art societies had formed, and local traditions had developed. The exhibition, Out of the West presents a starting point for visitors to explore the art made from these responses to Western Australia, through a diverse range of media including painting, sculpture, watercolour, drawing, print-making, photography, video installation, jewellery, furniture, decorative arts and design.
Vital to the exhibition are important historical works from the National Gallery's Wordsworth Collection, which we have recently purchased. These show how Western Australia was perceived during its formation. As well as oil paintings, watercolours, drawings and prints, the collection includes a number of fine and rare examples of Western Australian colonial furniture, constructed using local timbers. The acquisition goldfield jewellery collection put together by Robert and Mandy Haines showcases that very distinctive local art form.
Due to limitations of space, Out of the West is a curatorial selection of work drawn from the National Gallery's collection, rather than a full survey. Some works by Western Australian artists remain on display in the Gallery's permanent display of Australian art as well as in the newly opened Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander galleries.
Art by artists prior to 1940 is shown in the in Out of the West: Early Days in the Project Gallery. Art by more recent artists is displayed in Out of the West: Modern Times in the Orde Poynton Gallery.

Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. If I have a preference it is for Finn. Last year, when I toured for The Sorceress, it was the book which travelled across America with me.
The Witch World Series by Andre Norton. She is one of the great storytellers of the 20th Century – and shamefully out of print. She wrote over 200 novels, but my favourites are those belonging to the Witch World cycle.
A Christmas Carol. It's a ghost story, a tale of redemption, it has time travel, pathos, humor … and most readers when they come to the book are usually astonished by how slender it is. I read it once a year. Guess when?
The Greek Myths by Robert Graves. I was probably in my early teens when I first read Graves version of the Greek Myths. It started a life long love of mythology which ultimately created the Flamel series.

This is UNBELIEVABLE. I had no idea.
Oxfam: Richest 85 people have as much wealth as half of world population
By Matthew Schofield
McClatchy Newspapers
BERLIN The worlds richest 85 people control the same amount of wealth as half the worlds population, according to a report issued Monday by the British-based antipoverty charity Oxfam.
That means the worlds poorest 3.55 billion people must live on what the richest 85 possess.
Another way to look at it: Each of the wealthiest 85 has access to the same resources as do about 42 million of the worlds poor, a number equal to the populations of Canada, Kentucky and Kansas, when taken together.
The report was issued just before The World Economic Forum opens Wednesday in Davos, Switzerland.
The forum is a gathering spot for world political, academic and business leaders where, the forums website says, they shape global, regional and industry agendas.
In announcing the study, Oxfams website said that what it sees as the growing wealth gap undermines democracy.
The past quarter of a century has seen wealth become ever more concentrated in the hands of fewer people, it said. The wealth of the 1 percent richest people in the world amounts to $110 trillion. Thats 65 times the total wealth of the bottom half.
The report says 210 people joined the ranks of billionaires last year, bringing to around 1,400 the people who hold that status.
The report also said that while the recent financial crisis was an enormous burden on the worlds poor, it ended up being a huge benefit to the rich elite.
The very wealthiest people on Earth collected 95 percent of the post-crisis growth, the report said.
The report said that the trend is more pronounced in the United States than in other nations, but hardly limited to the U.S.
It said that in only two countries, Colombia and the Netherlands, had the share of income received by the wealthiest 1 percent not increased between 1980 and 2012.
In the United States, China and Portugal, the report said, the wealthiest 1 percent had seen its share of income more than double in the same period.
To give an indication of the scale of wealth concentration, the combined wealth of Europes 10 richest people exceeds the total cost of stimulus measures implemented across the European Union between 2008 and 2010, it said.
Oxfam urged countries to take steps to make certain policies didnt make the situation worse.
When there is growth and diminishing inequality, the rules governing markets are working in favor of the middle classes and the poorest sections of society, the report said.
However, when only the rich are gaining, the rules start bending towards their interests exclusively.

Several months later they leave this web and enter the litter (dead grass and leaves and so on) on the ground, where they spend the winter.
Dimensions Mature caterpillar, to 1" (25 mm).
Habitat Forests & woodlands, Freshwater swamps, marshes & bogs, Meadows & fields.
Range New England, Western Canada, Great Lakes, Plains, Eastern Canada, Mid-Atlantic.

I wanted to know which states are showing deficits like our feds. Are the blue or the red states more likely to be going broke.
I really could not care less about the median income. I know folks in CA make more then me in AZ but their cost of living is a lot higher.
Which states are going broke?

One cannot reason someone out of something they were not reasoned into. - Jonathan Swift
Last I checked this was a discussion board. I offer my opinions often but let me explain to you how discussions work since you seem to have trouble understanding.
First- someone throws out a topic, then you respond. If you do not understand this concept, then I suggest you may want to do a little more research.
As far as what states are going broke, I would bet the Blue (liberal) are the ones in the deepest financial trouble due to their over spending.
Examples-CA, NJ, MA or how about I just list the East coast and West coast states.
Maybe even you can see a pattern. Liberals come up with programs they can't pay for and then expect us to foot the bill, just like your leader and congress are doing right now. Where do you think they came up with the term "tax and spend liberal"?
Do I have solutions. You bet! Vote your liberal friends out and get government back to the basics. Is it simplistic? Absolutely! Most good solutions are. OK now since you do not seem to know how this discussion thing works, it's your turn to offer opinions and solutions if you have some.

California and NJ are both in trouble now because of Republican state leaders that adopted the traditional Republican approach to government -- spend big while cutting taxes; borrow money to close the gap. In NJ, the responsible culprit was Christie Whitmen who became one of the most popular governors by cutting taxes while running up billions in debt in a state that, until then, had been essentially debt free. She left the state in financial ruin. The same is true with Republican Gov. Arnie in California. He took over a state facing a perpetual gap in its budget because of voter referenda that capped taxes while mandating increased government spending (primarily for education and prisons). He immediately cut taxes and ran up tens of billions in debt. Unlike Whitman, he wasn't smart enough to get out before the bills came due and is now left holding the bag that he filled with $h*t. Having said that, however, you are absolutely correct that blue and purple states are more likely to be facing government deficits now than red states and that there deficits are higher on a per capita basis. (See http://symbionews.com/thetakeaway/st...cits-2009.html)

Thanks for the correcting my previous post. I have corrected it above.
I don't think you can have it both ways. You blame the current problems on Arnold which we know is not a conservative when he walked into a financial mess from Grey Davis and the liberal legislature, but you blame current NJ problems on Whitman when when she left office in 2008. NJ has had 7 years to fix the problems.
I don't expect Obama to fix everything in 1 year but if he has 8 years, I expect some progress.
This is the issue. No body, both Republicans and Dems want to fix any problems. Every one wants to blame the other party and can not honestly critique their own. They continue to pile on debt and spend like there is no tomorrow. ( You can't do both)
I will be the first to say any Republican that does not want to control spending should be thrown out. I would be happy to give up tax cuts for a little financial responsibility.
AZ is also in a mess. We are a Red state that had a Dem for a Governor and a Republican legislature. They increased spending much in the same way CA has with no increase in long term revenue and now we are not far from CA's mess.
Jdog- I would expect nothing less from you then a stupid comment. See, you still don't get how this discussion thing works. Now how about you try and jump in on a discussion somewhere.

I feel a great disturbance in the Force.
Nice set, just wondering why they would include Vader, Bossk, IG-88, and Dengar, but exclude 4-LOM and Boba Fett?
May the force be with you.
This is an amazing-looking set! I love the little micro-Star Destroyer, just like the Galoob Die Cast SSD had. SK99, no love for Zuckuss either. I would guess Fett is out because he's fairly common and they were trying to save costs, and 4-LOM would have required a new head, right? So that'd be costs again.
50" long! Holy crap thats huge!! It's as long as my coffee table. There is no way my wife will let me drop $400 on that for my son. I'd have to get a second job just to pay for it. LOL But that thing does look awesome. I guess I'll have to start saving up and beg her to let me get it for him. Crossing my fingers.
Well the best news about a 400 dollars price is it won't sell out so we will have time to save up for it.

Some years ago I was trying get my gal shipped back home. The trainer said he was bottlenecked by the jerk at "Y" airlines. I checked the airport and found that "X" airlines also had cargo service so I called that number. Seemingly nice guy on the phone and I told him I appreciated his help 'cause the guy at "Y" airline was a total jerk. Pause. "That would be me" he said. Turned out the small airport only had a single agent on duty for both airlines. Finally found out when there was another agent working and got pup shipped no problem. So, no matter what the regs say it may depend on the mood of the guy who checks you in. Good luck.
I have had my dog fly from Tampa to Palm Springs for the past 2 years. The flights are all with commuter Jets and they can only accomodate the 400 size crates. This has never been a problem, so far. My dog is a 70lb lab. This summer though, I flew my dog on a Canadian carrier and they claimed the dog was too big for the crate. I had to re-schedule his flight and buy a larger crate. This same airline has flown the dog before and the 400 crate was apparently fine. You know the old saying "small people with badges can be very dangerous"
Depends on the Agent, I suppose!!!
"Remember, it's about the Dog and the Dog work, it's not about you"
I figured I'd give an update now that my trip is over in case someone later searches for info.
The trip was a big success. Great hunting and no real problems at either airport (Washington Reagan and Minneapolis/St Paul). I flew American Airlines and their language regarding the crate size is more vague than others, especially United. The first gate agent asked "your dog fit in the kennel?" and that was it. The second came around and just gave it a quick look.
Some tips:
- Get there EARLY. It took 20+ minutes just to deal with the pet check in. There is a checklist, weigh-in and all sorts of forms and stickers to fill out. You also have to go through a screening with TSA where they check both the dog and the crate.
- Have everything the airline says it needs. The only real issue I had was on the return when I didn't have a bag of food to tape to the top of the kennel. Luckily, I found some in my hunting bag. Plan B was to claim my dog ate pop tarts which I could get from a nearby vending machine. I really thought they might not let the dog fly because of this.
- Make sure you have a health certificate from the vet. Have them list the temperature range acceptable for your dog to fly. They checked this on the return, even though it was just 2 degrees below the level where such a vet note isn't required.
- The Smarte Carts at the airport worked really well for moving all my gear. Bring some bungees and duct tape just in case.
- Nobody gave me any flak for having the dog out of the crate at heel, even though it is against the rules in most airports. It made it less stressful on the dog.
- They zip tie the kennel door closed. Have a cutter in your checked bag or find someone with scissors as soon as you arrive so you can get your dog out quickly.
- Airports have pet rest areas. Locate these before flying. They are a good place to hang out with your dog if you get there too early.
Thanks again for everyone's help!

My big boys routinely fly in 500 crates (though they ride even more often without a problem in 400 crates in the car) and I haven't had any issues with dog size in the crate (they can turn around in even 400 crates, though it's a bit tighter obviously).
The issues I have had (as recently as April when I had to cancel one flight while AT THE AIRPORT with my dog and book another one on a different airline leaving 10 min earlier... it was completely crazy and a LOT of $$$) is dog + crate WEIGHT (not over 100 lbs on some airlines for BOTH dog AND crate AND water bottle, etc. including bedding, etc) and making sure a 500 series airline crate will fit onto the plane it is booked for. Some cargo doors won't accommodate a 500 crate so be VERY sure the airplane (737 etc) will be able to fit a 500 crate on it if flying with a 500. Most will be able to accommodate a 400 crate.

LIFE IS GOOD. "Do what you like, like what you do."
BTW, for cutting zip ties (and I always bring extra zip ties as sometimes they won't zip tie the crates closed, though they are supposed to, and it provides more added security, IMHO), I have been able to get by with big, heavy-duty human nail clippers and carry them with me in my carry-on.
I also always try to freeze water in a bowl that attaches to the inside of the crate door for a couple of days prior to leaving, carry it in a cooler to the airport and put it prior to leaving the dog. That way, when they're carrying the crate and loading it on the plane, the water doesn't all splash out into the crate with the dog since it's frozen, and as it melts, there is a water source. They do typically require you to tape a baggie (a "meal") of food and a regular small full plastic water bottle to the top of the crate in case there is a delay that requires feeding/watering the dog. I also typically put a laminated brightly-colored sign on the top that says "Hi, my name is.... This is my first time flying so I may be nervous. Please don't give me treats but I love to have people talk to me. My flights are date/flight # to and date/flight # from. In case of emergency, please call... (my cell number and contacts)" at the top of the crate.
The other thing I like to do is use brightly colored or striped duct tape and mark the crate on the sides/top with a big "X" or something, so I can see it when it is on the tarmac getting ready to load.
ALWAYS ask for the pull tags when the dog has been loaded on the plane. Those loading the plane are instructed to pull off one of the tags and hand-carry it to the door to hand to the attendants. Let the steward/stewardess know as soon as you step foot on the plane that you are traveling with a dog and where you are sitting so that they can bring you the pull tag. Do NOT let them start rolling away from the gate until you are GUARANTEED the dog is on the plane.

LIFE IS GOOD. "Do what you like, like what you do."
Blame falls on the government, sue happy people who never think it wise to crate condidtion a dog before shipping and just stuff one in a crate and send it. When something happens then they want to sue the airline. Can't fix the government or stupidity. Common sense is a lost art.

Here is my first attempt at a box call, so be gentle lol. I grew up working in a cabinet shop, so I thought it would be easy. It was not! Tuning is really meticulous/tricky, at least for a beginner. My goal is to get good enough so I can make a few for friends and family.
I'm really happy with how it sounds, I was wanting to get a mellow non- raspy sound and it took some doing. This call started out all walnut, but I just could not get the sound I wanted. I decided to try an oak lid and got the sound I wanted. The oak came from my property, so that is kinda special. Does oak make a good box? I've searched but haven't come up with much.

|Yak Attack Kayaks and flyfishing = ultimate stealth
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|IMO you're better off getting something rotomolded, rather than kevlar or glass or inflatable - dragging a glass or kevlar/gelcoat job once it's laden down with gear MIGHT happen. If you drag a rotomolded poly job, what's gonna happen? - you'll scuff the bottom a little. Look at the Perception Carolina or the Old Town Nantucket. Both are in the same weight range, both have the same relative primary and secondary buoyancy; both have hatches and balance out okay with gear loaded fore and aft. Both will float about 400 lbs. You don't really have to carry a poly kayak. Gee, in a poly kayak you could even slide down the stairs at the light if you wanted to
I have a pontoon kayak made by outcast I like quite a bit on lakes and moderate rivers. Tracks really well but not as good as a real kayak does. It weighs around 20 pounds and it not all that bad to carry but I would not want to drag it over rocks and such.
Have used it some in the sound out here but think the base is a little too wide to deal with current and wind. Basically with a heavy current I have to come and go with the tides. They really built it with fishing from it in mind which comes at the cost of the water slicing properties of a true sea kayak.
Still kinda jazzed about inflatable kayaks... stash easily, lightweight, etc.
Any opinions out there?
|Tod D
|I'd concur w/ Jim. My canoe is 82 lbs empty & dry. Bit of a bear to tote off the car, but drags fairly well. Windwise, it's a big ol' sail though - certaintly compared to a yak in my experience/opinion. Looking at those pungo's and loon 138's at 50 lbs & thinking that's a lifting holiday!
|I don't think weight will have much bearing on getting blown around, that has more to do with your profile above the water. Current will often do more to move you around than wind, the wind will effect your orientation. My pungo is 55 dry and empty and that's no problem to carry on a shoulder but load it up with all the stuff I bring and I don't really like to carry it more than 100yds. Dragging is not so bad but I wouldn't want to drag it too far either. Considering you can get by on 6-8" of water I'd wait for the tide. My canoe is about 80lbs and that's more than I like to carry for any distance. The 35lber sounds like a nice weight and fiberglass can be repaired too.
|I thought I was gonna have to drive out and pick you up Dragging isn't so bad. My only complaint was not having a long enough pulling rope, it kept hitting me in the legs, otherwise it would have been fairly easy.
Good question.
I think my WS Manteo is around 50#, the CLC yaks are supposed to weigh around 35# when you're done.
If you're gonna carry it, you have to carry all your other stuff too. That + not worrying about beaching or surfing over rocks makes my choice of a plastice yak work for me.
I don't think windage is an issue if you plan on fishing form the yak - just use a small dirft sock.
The final drag of the year for me (and the fear of receiving CPR from Nick) , across Bewster flats has motivated me to work on my physical fitness.
Look for a stronger, faster, leaner Roop this spring.
Weight factor
I am thinking thru my yak purchase for the coming year. One of the things that seems very important to me is weight. I plan to use the yak a lot in my favorite places that are dangerous to wade: the flats. This means unless I have the time to wait for the flood I will be doing a lot of hiking with the yak.
A tough molded yak can be dragged, but a fiberglass / kevlar yak like an eddyline is so light you can carry it over the clam flats to the truck. Overall I think light weight is an advantage out of the water, what about in the water?
Do you get blown around too easily in a very light yak? What is a light yak, and what is a heavy one (in pounds)?
I think I might be able to work the high end of the price range if I combine the sale of a dory, pontoon boat and xmas into one total.

But odds are you're more likely to find celebrity-studded subdivisions, swanky golf courses (the region's home to more than 40 championship courses at last count), some of the most lucrative shopping malls in the world and some of the West's top surf schools.
Orange County is also one of California's wealthiest and most diverse regions. Here, you'll see multi-million-dollar hillside mansions, party-friendly surf towns and lovely historic missions like San Juan Capistrano.
And just when you think you have this small county in Southern California all figured out, you're bound to discover something new.
It might be the bustling community of Little Saigon – home to the largest concentration of Vietnamese-Americans in the United States. Or perhaps, the power of the Big Red Car electric railway that rolled into Huntington Beach in 1904, causing land values to spike overnight. It might even be the funky vintage stores in Fullerton or the juicy burgers wedged between two waffles at Bruxi's. And there's so much more. In total, Orange County is home to 34 cities, six harbours and three bays.
Some travellers base themselves in a charming beach community like Laguna, Newport, Dana Point or Huntington. Others take the opposite approach, booking their stay at a theme park and taking day trips out to the more laid back surf capitals. The region's many accommodation options give travellers this kind of flexibility. And the best part? You'll find new and improved hotels and attractions each and every time you visit.
Like Walt Disney said as he cut the ribbon to the Magic Kingdom in 1955: "Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world."
The same could be said for Orange County.

@Patduino, dhenry: I thought it was some kind of interference, could you please elaborate more, or perhaps link me to a page where it explains what is going on? I'm not exactly sure what voltage floating is. Also, advice on how to stop this would be appreciated.
... I would recommend a Darlington arrangement which is basically 2 transistors, althogh you can buy power Dalingtons in a single device.See the attached schematic. It will handle a motor that draws up to 10A and is pretty cheap.

Co-op at MCI
Get co-op. Be successful.
In the Business Technologies Division, which includes the Midwest Culinary Institute, all students must earn eight to ten credit hours in cooperative education, depending on program requirements (except for the Dietetic Technician program).
At Cincinnati State, we know that cooperative education significantly increases students' chances of career success. That's why, at the Midwest Culinary Institute and throughout Cincinnati State, co-op is closely integrated with our course curriculum, our scheduling, and our advising system. Two co-op coordinators support MCI students in preparing for and succeeding in their cooperative educational experiences.
As a co-op student in the Midwest Culinary Institute, you may work side-by-side with professionals in your chosen field at restaurants, country clubs, hospitals, hotels, or other venues in the region.
How you can benefit
Co-op experience enables you to:
- Reinforce classroom learning and apply it in a real-world setting;
- Earn money to offset the cost of your education while you gain valuable hands-on experience;
- Decide on your career direction;
- Develop leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills.
Many MCI students have the opportunity for amazing career choices and job placements.
Eligibility requirements
In order to be eligible to participate in cooperative education, a student must:
- Be a matriculated student.
- Maintain a G.P.A. of 2.0 or higher, and complete any required program technical courses; a list is available from the co-op coordinator.
- Attend a co-op orientation session and complete a "petition to co-op" packet. It must be returned to the program co-op coordinator before consideration for placement.
- Agree to follow curriculum and meet all program requirements as specified.
- Agree not to seek full-time employment with his or her co-op employer until graduation.
- Understand that co-op students are not eligible for unemployment benefits for co-op positions, and as such, agree not to apply for them.
Any student wishing to drop out of the co-op program must have prior coordinator approval and complete the remainder of his/her co-op requirements by taking the co-op seminar courses. Once a student leaves the co-op program, he or she will not be eligible to re-enter without approval of the co-op coordinator.
Students may complete the required co-op experience on either an alternating or parallel track depending on the availability of positions. Students must meet with their co-op coordinator as soon as possible after admittance to their academic program to complete their co-op plan.
The Business Technologies Division will assist students in completing their cooperative education work experiences. Although the division's co-op coordinators are generally successful in finding interview opportunities for co-op students, there is no employment guarantee. In these cases, the co-op coordinator will work with the student on alternatives to fulfill the cooperative education requirement.

Lambert made many self-portraits (cats.1,37,84,89,99,113,118), of which this is one of the earliest and most austere. Here he adopted a spare composition and created an image that is convincing in its subtle modelling of the head. It became one of Lambert's acknowledged successes and one of his favourite pictures.
Lambert based this head and shoulders portrait on Velázquez's Philip IV of Spain c.1656, which he was able to examine in detail in the National Gallery, London. As in Velázquez's portrait of the king, Lambert depicted himself in a black suit with a white collar, and even included a twirled moustache in the manner of the regent's. He painted it in the Spanish tradition, building up the portrait in lighter colours onto a dark brown ground.
In his monograph on Velázquez, which Lambert read, R.A.M. Stevenson suggested that in Velázquez's portrait 'the head, freed from distracting clamour of rival interests, alone occupies the eye and fixes the attention', and that this allowed the artist to keep a tight grip on definitions and simplify the forms (Stevenson, p.85). This too can be said of Lambert's portrait.
Contemporary critics admired Lambert's portrait, but not the cigarette. The Times suggested on 15 January 1907 that it 'would be excellent if he would only paint out the cigarette'. The critic for the Sydney Morning Herald suggested on 27 October 1910 that this portrait had an 'almost startling suggestion of life in the smooth and placid young face'.
Lambert exhibited this work at the Modern Society of Portrait Painters, in London, in 1907 and later at the Guild Hall, Melbourne, in 1910. It was purchased in Melbourne by Professor Hugo Meyer, who subsequently developed one of the finest private collections of Lambert's works, including The shop 1909 (cat.43), Holiday in Essex c.1910 (cat.44), Chesham Street 1910 (cat.46) and Pan is dead 1911 (cat.48).

Family: Araliaceae, Ginseng view all from this family
Description Introduced. A vine widely planted as a ground cover, with distinctive leathery evergreen leaves.
Flowers: small, greenish-white, inconspicuous, in small clusters; generated only by mature plants.
Leaves: 2-5" (5-12.5 cm) long; with 3-5 lobes; unlobed and squarish to rounded on mature, flowering plants; palmately veined; dark green.
Fruit: tiny, black berries.
Height: varies, to 50' (15 m) or more; climbing vine or spreading ground cover.
Warning Foliage, sap, and berries are toxic if ingested, for humans and animals, including pets. The sap can cause a rash or other skin reactions in some people.
Habitat Disturbed habitats, roadsides, wood edges, forests and woodlands.
Range Europe native; naturalized in United States, in the East from Massachusetts to Florida, Arkansas, and Texas; in the West in the Pacific states, Arizona, and Utah.
Discussion English Ivy growing picturesquely up the walls of old stone and brick buildings gave the venerable old eastern colleges their nickname the Ivy League. Thought to have been brought to America by the early European settlers, it has had ample time to establish itself and has invaded natural habitats in many areas, where it threatens the native plant life. This shade-tolerant creeper sprawls along the ground, smothering seedlings, and claws its way up tree trunks, straining and sometimes toppling the tree with its weight. Efforts are underway to eradicate this pest in the Redwood forests of California and other areas, and it is widely considered an invasive or noxious weed.

What, you people don't drink real beer? Baas Ale.

What, you people don't drink real beer? Baas Ale.
I had Nøgne Ø #100 Barleywine Ale this weekend, and it was one of the best of that type I've ever had. It was a nice dark amber, almost brown, and had a nice 3 finger head; the head dissipated relatively quickly, though (as most high ABV beers are wont to do). It was nice and malty, with a nice bite of hops. Didn't taste boozy at all, which was surprising considering it has a 10% ABV. It was kinda pricey at $10.50 for a 22oz bottle, but well worth it for an occasional indulgence.
holy nikes a pro-beer drinker....
I had guiness black lager for the first time a few weeks ago. It's actually really, really good. I was skeptical at first, but it's worth a try.
I'm a college kid and live in the Midwest so I might have a little bit of different beers of choice. I usually buy Busch light (It's like a cheaper Bud Light) because it is cheap as hell and prefer it over Keystone. I like Bud Light, Budweiser, Coors light, Platinum is good.
I haven't had that much more than that honestly... I have had Red Stripe when I went to Jamaica and it wasn't bad. Corona is not my beer of choice. Miller lite and High life are alright I think. I have had a Michelob Ultra's (Spelling?) because a lot of the parents around here love it. Umm not a huge fan of some of the Samuel Adams beers... I had a latitude something from Samuel Adams and was not a fan of it at all haha. I need to try out some new ones though
Guiness is my favorite but usually I can only afford a 40 of colt

We know, we know. Another day, another Lululemon Athletica (LULU) upgrade.
After a great ride last week following earnings, analysts continue to sing the company's praises. Today's moment of Lululemon love comes courtesy of Corinna Freedman of Wedbush, who upgraded her rating to Outperform from Neutral and hiked the price target to $64 from $54.
In a note today, Freedman declared Lululemon's woes to be "largely priced into the stock" and explains why now is the time to get bullish:
We previously anticipated becoming more constructive on a reset of earnings expectations to a drastically lowered bar and we found several positive takeaways from recent earnings commentary to support our pivot in outlook. We further believe the near- term set up is positive given upcoming management marketing (which should clear up lingering concerns regarding gross margin guidance,) high short interest, the April Analyst Day and a scarcity of mid-cap Consumer growth stories.
Like many of her peers, Freedman also feels upbeat about the company's prospects under new CEO Laurent Potdevin.
We further anticipate additional capsule product to drive interest post-Analyst Day and anticipate the company's recently issued guidance of $1.80-1.90 to prove beatable providing confidence in the new CEO's regime.
Shares of Lululemon have gained 1.1% to $52.48 at 3:46 p.m., while Nike (NKE) has risen 0.5% to $73.88, Under Armour (UA) has dropped 0.3% to $114.88 and the Gap (GPS) has dipped 0.1% to $40.14.

This memoir by Dan Rather - one of the most pre-eminent journalists of our time - is told in a straightforward and conversational manner. Rather, - who has won every prestigious journalism award in his distinguished career - discusses all the big stories from his decades of reporting. This very personal accounting includes (but is certainly not limited to) his dismissal from CBS, the Abu Ghraib story, the George W. Bush Air National Guard controversy, his coverage of the JFK assassination, the origin of "Hurricane Dan", as well as inside stories about all the top personalities Dan has either interviewed or worked with over his remarkable career.
Also included are Dan's thoughts and reflections on the state of journalism today and what he sees for its future, as well as never-before-revealed personal observations and commentary.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

"Excellent first-hand exploration of media today"
I just finished reading this book. I recommend it to anyone who wonders how corporations influence the media. What I took away from the book is the following:
The fourth part of checks and balances in this country is a free press. It is enshrined in our Constitution and Bill of Rights, and is an integral part of informed voting and participation in our democracy. The public is entitled to receive information, despite making angry those who don't wish certain information to be known. Oftentimes, it is precisely that hidden information that MUST be known. The corporatization, trivialization, politicization of the press is a serious national problem that continues to grow worse. The problem is that the public is becoming more and more desensitized to the sensationalistic corporate "news" being aired today.
Lots more than that, but you'll have to listen for yourself.
A most excellent book.
"Speaking truth to power and the cost."
Wake up call!!
Rather is rooted in the great age of journalism, He crossed swords with powerful corporate and governmental interests in his attempt to get at the truth during the G W Bush administration, and he paid a heavy price. This is a great story. Rather is a great man and a great American.
"Better than expected !!!!!!"
Yes. Although I will not be able to read the printed version. I love to listen to Dan Rather.He is an amazing story teller.
I liked all of it, and will re-listen to it.
No scenes, just great stories. An eye opener of inside journalism and our media, and how things are not always as we hear or see them. Our US network media does a lot of cut and paste.
It was perfect. I will re-listen to this book again.
It's perfect! Thank you Mr. Rather.
retired litigation lawyer; I read history; historical fiction; literary fiction. Narrator ++ important. Story equally so
I am Canadian, and grew up with the CBC, not CBS. So I bought this on a whim. What a great surprise. Mr Rather was much more interesting than I had anticipated, and - though melodramatic in parts - presents a compelling argument ( I say as a lawyer) that he was not treated well by CBS. ( As a trial lawyer I found this - which takes up the first 50% of the overall book- interesting but can understand lots will not). The second part of the book - his experinces in the Kennedy, Nixon, years, his time in Vietnam etc - well worth the time to listen. I found his character part of the appeal, surprisingly so. Less ego than I had anticipated.
And above all - what a treat to listen to that voice!
High recommendation
"A must read."
Educational, shocking, disturbing
Learning how news media controls what US citizens are and aren't privy to.
Whatever happened to our free press?
"An compelling, authoritative listen!"
I stumbled across this excellent audiobook - equal parts personal memoir and professional wake-up call to fellow U.S. journalists - entirely by chance and was hooked instantly just listening to the preview. Rather's telling of his life's work and travels here and abroad, are recalled in his trademark no-nonsense fashion, seasoned with just the kind of behind-the-scene anecdotes and details that keep you paying close attention, chapter after chapter. From covering the White House, to Vietnam, 9/11, Afghanistan and so many more, he shares the stories behind the stories, and in doing so paints a vivd self-portrait of a devoted journalist (and Texan) borne of an unflinching, old-fashioned patriotism as well as a confessed obsession to "get it right", in many cases no matter the consequences, personally or professionally.
Just as importantly, Rather makes a strong case for how the last two-decades have dealt wicked blows to our free press, an institution he (rightfully) views as an integral part of our democratic process, and one in peril. His detailed recounting of his personal experiences with the Viacom-owned CBS contains revelations both stunning and sobering, and no doubt serve the perfect example of our need to preserve a press that is free of manipulation - and outright control - by a government which has strayed dangerously far from it's constitutional roots to become "... of the corporations, by the corporations, and for the corporations."
This is an engrossing, and important, listen.
"I rather liked this!"
Forgive the pun ... but I feel so good after this, I couldn't help myself.
Dan Rather is 80 but he has the passionate conviction of someone much younger. His love for journalism is evident in his words but it's also in his voice. I rarely like author narration but this one works.
Joy King
"Dan Rather Sweeps through the Nation!!! Must Read!"
A great listen and full of laughs. You'll make several mouthed expressions while listening to this!
I really enjoyed Dan's life story and how he got his moral grounding.
Dan speaks with integrity and excitement and you can feel the passion in his voice while listening.
The entire book moves you. The excitement of wondering where he goes to next creates a bit of excitement.
The love Dan feels for his wife and family comes through so passionate when you listen to this audio!
"Beats Subject Matter To Death In This One"
I have always trusted Dan Rather and appreciated his storytelling abilities. In this book, however, he has one agenda. His message is that "he was right and CBS was wrong." The story is interesting and I believe him but I just couldn't take his repeating and repeating the story from every angle imaginable. Beating and beating and beating the story to death. I should have trusted the Audible readers stars and not purchased this one. Never got beyond his first story.
"Great and interesting story!"
This was a great autobiography of Mr. Rather's life and career. I very much enjoyed it and he narration. It was a fairly long listen and I got through it very quickly---unlike some autobiographies, there was never a lull in the storytelling. Each section was very captivating and his remembering of 9/11 brought me back to that day myself. Great great listen!
"The voice of truth - Great book"
I will say this for every audiobook: When you listen to a biography that is read by the person the book is about, you cannot help enjoying it. In this case this is a well written, well read, story, As a US expat, I and most Americans looked to Dan Rather for the truth about the goings on in America. His is a heartbreaking story with a happy ending. I highly recommend it even if you are not that familiar with who Dan is.

I also feel the need to point out that the division of Korea wasn't just the US's doing, it was equally the fault of the USSR and the PRC who supported the government in the North and rejected that of the South... it wasn't a one sided game.
What faults are you referring to?
The nation of Korea was already divided before WWII. Splitting it in two insured that neither party would have control over the entire country. if it wasn't for the U.S., the entire nation would be under communist control right now.

Fraud and theft can happen to anyone, including you. Most often people don't talk about it in social settings and much less around the office. We don't want to seem paranoid among our business peers or create an air of concern for our clients. However, lately the tide has turned and more professionals are discussing the topic as a point of risk management while learning that fraud comes in many forms and can impact everyone anywhere.

This thread has been so informative that I probably can't add much to it . . . However, just a couple of my own impressions.
I personally think D/W's short dance is very good and improving with each competition. To me, they have a raw energy and excitement to their dance that's quite unique. I especially like the second half of the program to the J.Lo song, it's just very explosive. And I'm impressed by the super difficulty they achieve in the dance, as outlined in Doris's posts.
I also really like V/M's short dance. In fact, this SD and last year's FD (to the same music) are my favorite programs from them ever. I thought they had the best hip action of the top teams. To me, their interpretation of this dance is very confident, and very "big", if you will. They really fill out the space so impressively when they're on the ice. However, I did notice that the second rhumba sequence was not skated with the same deep knees that I'd seen from them at TEB, so even I could see some of the difference in technical quality as detailed by Doris.
I was not hugely impressed with P/B. I love the concept, choreography, and music of this Brazilian SD--so different and fun (plus the costumes are exquisite). But to me, their actual execution of the dance hasn't lived up to its potential. As Tanith pointed out on Universal Sports, there are just a lot of little moments when their lines or positions or transitions aren't quite up to par; a lot of moments when I find myself thinking, "That could have been done better" or "They looked slightly off there." I don't agree with some posters who seem to feel P/B should be much closer to the top 2 teams than they are. If anything, I think they were closer last year, and feel their marks this year have been a bit generous. Still, I do really like this dance, and hope they can perform it better at Europeans and Worlds.
I thought Weaver/Poje looked pretty good. However I'm not a big fan of their SD. It seems sort of typical; not terribly inventive. The music is quite familiar, and they don't really do anything different with it. (Certainly I found Daisuke's interpretation last year much more fun and exciting.) Overall the program felt a little long to me. Also the costumes/makeup are tawdry and over the top.
I agree with jcoates and Doris that the Shibs have opted for a very classic Latin ballroom feel to their dance. That was my thought exactly as I watched it. And although it's perfectly fine conceptually, I have to agree with other posters that it's not terribly exciting. However, in terms of execution, I thought they looked really sharp--fast and accurate in their movement. Was glad to see they at least placed above the oft-overscored Bobrova/Soloviev.
Really looking forward to the FD tonight--can't wait!!

Bills Back On Track With Win Over Eagles

Known for her big smile and infectious laugh, Jennifer Morey writes her happy endings in a little northern town in sunny Colorado. A twin with five amazing brothers and sisters and an invincible dad, it's no wonder she's so effervescent. Don't let the quiet moments fool you!
Jennifer's first stories were inspired by her childhood love of Man O' War, Secretariat and The Black Stallion by Walter Farley. Bubbles of dialogue above cartoon drawings of horses led to hand-written tales of adolescent love. Years later, and two months after graduating from Colorado State University with a B.S. in geology, her mother died suddenly and the course of her life changed. The writer in her resurfaced, and she pursued a serious career.
As Associate Project Manager for the Spacecraft Systems Segment of a satellite imagery and information company, Jennifer works with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations and cat-herds her rocket scientist co-workers. When not writing or trying not to daydream at work, she can be found playing volleyball, hiking, flower gardening, socializing, or cuddling with her rescued golden retriever and feisty yellow lab.
A finalist in more than twenty contests, Jennifer has received several awards for her writing, one of which led to the publication of her debut novel, The Secret Soldier. She can be reached through her Web site and welcomes messages from readers.
