Hopkinsville is a 2nd-class city in Christian County, Kentucky, in the United States. It is the seat of its county.[2] The population at the 2010 census was 31,577 people.
Early years[edit]
The area of present-day Hopkinsville was initially claimed in 1796 by Bartholomew Wood as part of an 1,200 acres (5 km2) grant for his service in the American Revolution. He and his wife Martha Ann moved from Jonesborough, Tennessee, first to a cabin near present-day W. Seventh and Bethel Streets; then to a second cabin near present-day 9th and Virginia Streets; and finally to a third home near 14th and Campbell.
Following the creation of Christian County the same year, the Woods donated 5 acres (20,000 m2) of land and a half interest in their Old Rock Spring to form its seat of government in 1797. By 1798, a log courthouse, jail, and 'stray pen' had been built; the next year, John Campbell and Samuel Means laid out the streets for Christian Court House. The community tried to rename itself Elizabeth after the Woods' eldest daughter but another town in Hardin County preëmpted the name and the Kentucky Assembly established the town in 1804 as Hopkinsville after veteran and state representative Samuel Hopkins of Henderson County (later the namesake of Hopkins County as well).[3]
Along with the rest of Kentucky, the town was late in establishing free lower education, but natives organized private schools and was the home of the South Kentucky College (est. 1849) and Bethel Female College (est. 1854).[3]
Civil War[edit]
The Civil War generated major divisions in Christian County. Confederate support in Hopkinsville and Christian County was evident in the formation of the "Oak Grove Rangers" and the 28th Kentucky Cavalry. Christian County was the birthplace of Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America and several local businessmen and plantation owners contributed money and war supplies to the South. After Confederate forces retreated to Tennessee, however, Camp Joe Anderson was established by the Union to the northwest of Hopkinsville in 1862. Men who trained there became members of the 35th Kentucky Cavalry, the 25th Kentucky Infantry, and the 35th Kentucky Infantry. Gen. James S. Jackson had been a Hopkinsville attorney before the war and was killed in service to the Union at the Battle of Perryville in October 1862. Private citizens who supported the Union cause provided the army with mules, wagons, clothing, and food.
Hopkinsville changed hands at least half a dozen times, being occupied in turn by Confederate and Union forces. In December 1864, Confederate troops under Gen. Hylan B. Lyon captured the town and burned the Christian County courthouse, then being used by the Union army as a barracks. Another skirmish between Union and Confederate forces took place in the field opposite Western State Hospital near the end of the war.
Black Patch tobacco[edit]
The Evansville, Henderson, and Nashville Railroad was the first to connect the city in 1868. In 1879, it was purchased by the L&N. The Ohio Valley Railroad (later purchased by the Illinois Southern) also reached the city in 1892, as did the Tennessee Central in 1903.[3]
The tobacco from the Black Patch region was highly desired in Europe. In 1904, tobacco planters formed the Dark Tobacco District Planters' Protective Association of Kentucky and Tennessee in opposition to a corporate monopoly by the American Tobacco Company (ATC) owned by James B. Duke.[4] The ATC used their monopoly power to reduce the prices they paid to farmers; the planters' association aimed to organize a boycott of sales to drive the price back up. Many farmers continued to sell independently or secretly, however, prompting the association to form a "Silent Brigade" to pressure such farmers into compliance. With societal pressure seeming to fail, the Silent Brigade (probably under Dr. David A. Amoss) organized the Night Riders (not to be confused with the Ku Klux Klan) to terrorize farmers into submission.
On December 7, 1907, 250 masked Night Riders seized Hopkinsville's police station and cut all outside contact. They pursued tobacco executives who bought tobacco from farmers who were not members of the Dark Tobacco District Planters' Protective Association and city officials who aided them. Three warehouses were burned, one of whose sites became Peace Park.[citation needed] In April of the next year, a tobacco broker in Paducah named W.B. Kennedy wrote to associates in Rotterdam that "Out of all the mischief that has been done the law has not been able to convict and punish the night-riders. They do their mischief in the night, and wear masks, and they have taken a pledge to never tell anybody anything they know, and for this reason it is impossible to get sufficient evidence to convict them. They have gone on with their mischief making, until they have almost ruined the country."[citation needed]
2006 Tornado[edit]
On April 2, 2006, an F3 tornado swept through parts of Hopkinsville. In the storm, 200 homes were damaged and 28 people were injured.[5] In addition, structural damage was reported to dozens of other businesses, along with countless trees, power lines, transmission towers and other structures, cutting electricity to the city of Hopkinsville. A gas line was also damaged, causing a gas leak.
Hopkinsville is located in Christian County at 36°51′17″N 87°29′20″W / 36.85472°N 87.48889°W (36.854712, -87.488872)[6].
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 24.0 square miles (62.3 km²), of which 24.0 square miles (62.2 km²) is land and 0.04% is water.

A Tulsa attorney is seeking a bond reduction for a Glenpool woman charged in connection to a Craigslist child pornography investigation.
Sally Deupree, 55, is in Tulsa County Jail on a $1.5 million bond on a felony complaint of attempting to procure the participation of a minor in child pornography. She was arrested Thursday, October 4, 2012.
Deupree is one of two women arrested in connection with Ricky Lee Lewis, 31, who allegedly used contacts he made on Craigslist to solicit graphic photos of children.
Criminal defense attorney Thomas A. Mortensen said the bond reduction hearing scheduled for his client on Tuesday, October 9 has been continued until next week.
"We had to continue the case until next week so we could obtain some more facts regarding allegations. Not everything is in just yet," Mortensen said late Tuesday afternoon. The bond hearing is now scheduled for 3 p.m. on October 18.
According to court documents, Deupree received naked photos of a 2-year-old girl. Investigators say she also corresponded with Lewis about him engaging in sexual activity with the toddler, asking him to tape the act and send a video to her.

Mortensen called the $1.5 million bond an "overreaction."
"We are looking towards litigating this claim," he said Tuesday morning. "I think the main thing is that there was a severe overreaction based on the evidence that's available in this case."
Ricky Lewis is charged with eight felony counts including procuring and attempting to procure the participation of a minor in child pornography, manufacturing, distribution, and aggravated possession of child pornography, as well as two counts of manufacture of obscene material and one count of use of a computer to facilitate a sex crime.
He is being held on a $130,000 bond.
A second woman, Brittiny Dick of Vinita, was also arrested in the case after police say she sent photos of a nude toddler to Lewis.

A - Gold w orange hints. Very nice head and spots of gobby lace like a big flake snowstorm.
S - Strong sweet malt aroma. Hops smell is floral and citrusy.
T - Sweet caramel malts. Lemony, astringent, herbal hops. Some orange and grapefruit as well. Slight alcohol taste is apparent. Very bright and flavorful beer.
M- Nice medium body, smooth and slightly syrupy. Resiny hops feel.
O - I prefer a less sweet double IPA w grapefruit pine flavors. However this is a very easy drinking beer w a strong malt back bone well that is balanced w vibrant lemony hop flavors. The beer has refreshing pop to it that makes it oddly sessionable for a high abv double. Later pours went down slower as the sweetness started to lose its initial appeal and become overwhelming.

growler fill, poured into my trusty mug.
A- Deep gold with hints of orange. Fluffy off-white head that dissipates at an average rate. OK lacing down the glass.
S- Heavy on the malt for a DIPA, caramel based mostly. Grapefruit based hops are also there with a hint of what seems like peach. The hops are also slightly herbal and minty. I could sit and smell this over and over. Really complex.
T- Yummy. The malt is very, very heavy, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Caramel malts shine through and seem to almost overpower, but the grapefruit/peach/herbal hops come on at the end and give a pleasant bitter finish.
M- Rich, medium carbonation. Could be a bit slicker, but finishes nice and dry, but not overly so.
O- I really enjoy supporting my local nano brewery, especially when they brew some seriously good beer. Much better than some DIPA's I've had from well known craft brewers. Well done guys.

dashirey shared a growler of this at Ffej of July
A - Poured a glowing copper-orange body with carbonation bubbles racing towards the top to form a rocky, white head that stood about two finger...nice retention and lacing
S - The aroma presents itself with caramel sweetness and some herbal, grassy hops
T - There is a nice balance here but the caramel flavor tends to stand out...the hops have a different flavor to them...there's an herbal tinge to them...but there is a big green, fresh, leafy flavor to them that is throwing me off...the finish is bittersweet
M - Medium bodied...carbonation level is spot on...finishes bittersweet...too much leafy hop presence
O - I was pleased to finally try something from these guys but I wasn't blown away...it really didn't stand out as a IIPA although the sweetness level was up there...I didn't care too much for the greenness of the hops

Thanks to Chris for sharing this one at Ritual Brewing Company in Redlands, CA.
Pours a murky honey orange with a foamy bone head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Foamy rings of lace line the glass on the drink down. Small chunks of sediment are seen floating around in the beer after the pour. Smell is of malt, citrus fruit, and citrus zest aromas. Taste is much the same with citrus zest flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good beer with a tasty citrus zest hop presence in the flavor.

12 oz bottle purchased at the brewery. Enjoyed my sample a lot more of draft than this instance.
Pours a sediment ridden dark golden amber with a creamy, retentive head. Nose is soapy, medicinal and slightly bitter. Flavor starts off like a nice DIPA actually, balance of backing caramel malt with strong citrus hops before a buttery, vanilla sweet finish. Eek. I'll rereview when I don't have a funky bottle.

Pours a cloudy orange-copper color with two fingers of fluffy white head with decent retention.
The scent is of citrus and a light floral aroma.
The taste is of citrus, moderately bitter floral hops, some roated malt, some alcohol is present.
Medium body, smooth and a little dry, moderate carbonation.
Overall a pretty good beer, nice flavor and easy to drink.

Had this on 2012-01-14 in Lititz, PA at the Bull's Head
A - Pretty clear orange with a 1-finger head and mild lace.
S - Pale malt, yeast, light citrus and mild hop floral.
T - Moderately roasted and moderately sweet, tart citrus and orange candy, herbal/medicinal, touch of pepper and astingent/lemony bitterness that lasts into the aftertaste balanced by a touch of caramel sweetness.
M - Light-Medium body and light carbonation. Oily and chewy.
O - Not a West Coast IPA. It's more earthy, lemony and astringent.

I think this is a classic case of the small unknown guy can't possibly make a better beer than some of the larger more well known guys. I am an IPA fanatic and this is one the best double IPA's I have ever tasted.
I had it on tap at Canal St pub and this beat several other highly ranked beers to my taste. I would place this right up there with Pliny the Elder in terms of quality and taste as well as memorable taste!
Call me crazy but this is one of the only other beers I have tasted and have a solid craving for days later.
It had an intense fruit aroma and was very well balanced. It had a solid hit all the way from first taste to full finish.
One very solid beer.

I had this on draft served chilled and allowed to slowly warm.
The color is pale -golden with accents of amber with full thick crown of cream colored head with good retention. The smell is nice but not strong with more herbal aromas from the hops and mild floral sweetness in the scent. The feel is semi-dry with lots of resinous texture and moderate bitterness. I found it had a nice mellow sweetness level to anchor all the hop astringency and balance slightly -there is very mild alcohol which I only noticed when I took a larger gulp.
The flavor is very tangy with astringent hop leaning toward the lemony and herbal rather than citrus or pine, the malt gives a slight sugar tinge and coats the mouth as the resinous grassy hop flavor surround my taste buds, plenty of hop bitterness but not so much that it is a palate wrecking flavor, you are still able to get both malt and hops out of this Imperial IPA. I enjoyed this multiple times and found it needed a little time to open up as it seemed tame at first, but grew in complexity slightly toward the end. I prefer I dry west coast style Imperial IPA, but this one is a decent tasting and drinkable example I recommend giving it a shot.

Mammogram RisksThe benefit of mammography screening outweighs the risk of any harm from the radiation. Currently it is estimated that ionizing radiation needed for a mammogram is lower than the dose of cosmic radiation to which a passenger on an intercontinental flight may be exposed, or a skier on a mountain over 3,000 meters. Use of a low dose radiation gives doctors the ability to repeat the mammogram once a year, beginning after age 40 to 50 years. A mammogram could be prescribed for women with personal or family history of cancer of the breast or other organs, regardless of her age. Those patients who have not entered menopause need to make sure they are not pregnant before obtaining a mammogram, due to the small potential radiation exposure. For women who have a breast implant, there is an extremely small chance that the pressure placed on the implant during the mammography will cause a rupture or break. If this occurs, a surgical operation may be needed to have the implant removed. In a very small number of cases, the accuracy of the mammogram is lower than usual.

text: OHIO UNIVERSITY. MEMOEIAL OF THE ACTING COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. To tlie (xeneral Assembly of the State of OMo : The annual message of the Governor delivered at the opening of the present session of your honorable body recommends that the Miami and Ohio Universities should be converted into normal or preparatory schools. Against this suggestion, so far as it relates to the Ohio University, we desire, with due respect, to enter a firm and earnest protest. The suggestion is based upon the assertion that, if left to itself, the University must soon suspend. We assure you, however, that among those to whom the immediate care of the institution has been committed there is no expectation of such a catastrophe. It must be admitted that, like most other American colleges, we feel the need of a much more lib¬ eral endowment than we tiow possess. Still we are far from looking for¬ ward to suspension. A considerable sum has recently been expended in making repairs on the buildings, and it is intended to make other impor¬ tant improvements within a short time. But, however great the poverty of the University may be, and how¬ ever great the disadvantages which its poverty may have imposed, the State has no legal right to change its character. She is but a trustee, the lands of the University having been given by the national Govern¬ ment expressly and perpetually "for the purposes of an university." She cannot, therefore, lawfully divert the lands, or the income from them, to any other use. The restrictions on the power of trustees are stated with great distinct¬ ness : " Where, by the terms of the trust, the particular charitable pur¬ poses are clearly defined in respect to such purposes, the trustee has no discretion; hence a deviation from those purposes would be deemed a breach of the trust.'^* No one will affirm that a normal school is at all likely to become a university, or that its organization contemplates such an end. Certainly the object in the present instance is far different. We may reasonably assume that it is exactly the reverse. In its present use the trust is fulfilling its purpose as nearly as circum¬ stances allow. The plan of the institution corresponds to the original design. What now exists is the natural germ ot a university, and, so far * Tiffany and Bullardj Law of Trusts and Trustees, 276.

The wooded acres of Hoyt Park have historically served residents as the site of the "local swimming hole." More than 100 years ago, people sought out the banks of the expansive Menomonee River. In the 1920s and 1930s, the community swam in the earth-bottom swimming hole filled each summer by the local fire department.
In 1937, Hoyt Park was entrusted to Milwaukee County and the Civilian Conservation Corps were engaged to help build the pool, which opened in 1939 and closed in 2003 due to severe structural problems.
Who We Are
The TOSA Pool at Hoyt Park is an outdoor community pool located in Hoyt Park in Wauwatosa. Featuring zero-depth entry, competitive lap lanes, shaded areas and a giant slide, the TOSA Pool provides summertime fun for all ages. Complementing the new pool is the restored 1930s bathhouse, which is available to rent year-round.
The TOSA Pool is operated by the Friends of Hoyt Park & Pool, a nonprofit group that raised money to build the pool. FOHPP has a 55-year lease with Milwaukee County to operate the pool and does not receive taxpayer support for pool operations. Our mission is to enhance the quality of life for all members of the community by developing, maintaining, and operating a community pool at Hoyt Park.
The TOSA POOL at Hoyt Park opened to the public May 28, 2011 and is named in honor of the project's lead donor: The TOSA Foundation.
Recent Awards Since the pool opened in May 2011, the Friends of Hoyt Park & Pool and the TOSA Pool at Hoyt Park have received a number of awards recognizing the outstanding design of the pool, the preservation of the historic bathhouse and the positive impact the TOSA Pool is having on our community.

Laptops for Linux!
Products: LinuxLaptops Attache ASL Workstations AS-LT300
Manufacturer: LinuxLaptops ASL Workstations
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com email@example.com
Price: $2500 US $2800 US
Reviewer: Jason Kroll
laptop n: a computer in graceful, self-contained form. Laptops are small, wireless, resource-minimal and portable. You can take them wherever you go and hide them when not in use—no ugly computer to occupy space. The LCD flat screen displays are clearer and cleaner than cathode ray tube monitors (with less brain-wave-zeroing effect), and the keyboards are small and quiet. Even without portability, laptops have many advantages over desktop machines.
Laptops also have their shortcomings, the most obvious of which is price. Laptops are very expensive and difficult to repair or upgrade, although it can be done. They also offer inferior performance compared to desktop machines, specifically in disk access, processor speed and hardware support. Hard disks on laptops spin slowly and are loathe to accelerate or decelerate; hence, disk operations can be very slow, especially random accesses. Take a look at the Bonnie benchmarks (see Table 2) to see just how slow. Processors are also slower and more expensive. One reason is laptops have relatively poor ventilation (making them quiet), so if you have too many megahertz/gates/volts on the chip/CPU, it will get too hot. (Notice the popularity of StrongARM processors in machines without powerful fans, for example the NetWinder and Empeg.) Also, laptop processors are physically different from standard processors because they must be small and low-profile, although smaller chips require less voltage so they don't generate as much heat.

At the time of this writing, the two Linux-specific laptop providers are LinuxLaptops and ASL Workstations. LinuxLaptops is a specialty shop run by Nathan Myers, which deals exclusively in laptops for Linux and has three models at the moment. It is highly focused on optimization and tuning, working within the interesting limitations of laptop hardware, to maximize Linux performance. ASL Workstations, on the other hand, is a successful Linux workstation builder which provides many excellent workstations and makes its AS-LT300 laptop as a logical component in a complete product line of high-powered, server-oriented machines. Penguin Computing is also developing a laptop, but it is still in beta and was not available for review. VA Linux Systems, the best-known Linux machine maker, has discontinued laptops for the time being.
Since only enormous firms have their own laptop factories, laptop providers for Linux buy standard laptops and configure them for Linux. Incidentally, the AS-LT300 and Attache are both ChemBook 7400s. Internally, they have slightly different configurations, but the most significant difference is between their respective Linux setups. Table 1 shows the more relevant features of the laptops sent to LJ, but keep in mind that you have much flexibility in configuration if you order a laptop for yourself.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

The boats and crew launch downstream for Hermann and New Haven on Thursday morning at 9-9:30 AM. Come out and see them pass by the Capitol. The cannon may be fired as they pass by with a military salute!
They head down Missouri to Hermann Thursday morn at about 9-9:30AM. See them from the Bridge bike/pedestrian trail at overlook for a birdseye view.
John McNulty was excellent. Guests like that bring history to life and engage your listeners. We need more guests like him.

Executive summaries seem simple--until you get them wrong. Make sure you're following this simple outline.
Executive summaries seem simple--until you get them wrong. Make sure you're following this simple outline.
The most important part of every sales proposal is the executive summary–but many people in sales get it completely wrong.
Some sellers wrongly believe that the executive summary should summarize the contents of the proposal. As a result, they write the executive summary last, after all the information has been gathered into the body of the proposal.
That's really dumb, because an executive summary is not supposed to summarize the proposal; it's supposed to summarize the reasons why the customer should buy from you. The executive summary should therefore focus on basic issues and bottom-line results–and it should be written first, in order to set the tone and direction of the body of the proposal.
Here's how to structure it.
Demonstrate, in one or two sentences, your understanding of the customer's business situation. The definition of the problem/need/goal should be more than a paraphrase of the customer's original requirements. Instead, it should reflect the results of your research into the customer's situation and should show that you understand their business.
Describe, again in one or two sentences, the potential positive impact on the customer's organization if the problem is solved, the need is fulfilled, or the goal is achieved. Note: This is not a discussion of your solution's features and benefits. Rather, the focus is on the organization and the gains it will achieve from implementing your solution.
The executive summary must address client-desired outcomes to create a strong desire to move forward on the part of the decision maker. Focusing on the customer's need gets a prospect's attention–that was Part 1–but focusing on the payoff sets you up for the commitment.
Provide, with as little jargon as possible, a brief overview of the solution that's being proposed. Ideally, each element of the solution should tie back to one of the customer's problems or needs and to one of the desired outcomes.
Provide a brief (and I do mean brief) mention of why you are capable of delivering the solution on time and on budget. You can use quotes from clients, accolades, awards, and so forth.
Here's where you ask for the business. This can be something as simple as "We're eager to work with you." In asking for the business, mention one or two key factors that differentiate you as a vendor and make you the right company for the client to choose.
Notice that the executive summary does not start by giving your company history or an overview of your product line. The initial focus must be on the customer's own need. In fact, the name of the customer should appear two or three times as frequently as the name of the vendor.
One final, but important, note: Avoid putting costs in the executive summary unless the customer has specifically requested that the price be mentioned there. Instead, use the executive summary to make your first presentation of a compelling value proposition—increased productivity, reduced operating costs, increased market penetration, lower total cost of ownership, or some other important measure of gain.
Emphasizing what you can do for the customer and what's unique about your solution creates a perception of value that can raise your proposal above the rest, even if other solutions might cost less.
I'm going to provide an example of an executive summary in the next issue of my free weekly "Insider" newsletter. If you're not signed up for it, you can do so here.
The above is adapted a discussion with proposal guru Tom Sant. A longer version is available in my recently published new book, How to Say It: Business to Business Selling.

This will be the first time the association has met in the city where Michigan may be said to have been born. With the fall color season likely to be at its peak in beautiful northern Michigan, this is a wonderful opportunity to combine a professional conference with a recreational trip. The region's many and diverse recreational opportunities are detailed under "Attractions" in the menu.
We hope you will join us for what promises to be a great conference. We also hope you will be able to stay for the weekend and enjoy the attractions of our beautiful and historic region.
Gary Johnson
Professor of Political Science, LSSU
President-Elect, MIPSA

How Governor Snyder's education plan is playing
Yesterday, governor Rick Snyder presented his plan for education reform at an event in Detroit.
We asked Susan Demas, a political analyst for the Michigan Information and Research Service, and Ken Sikkema, a former Republican state Senate Majority Leader and Senior Policy fellow at Public Sector Consultants to take a look at the political implications of that plan.

203: Installment Purchase
Property Management Policy & Procedure Manual
Section 200: Equipment Acquisition
Effective: 07/01/1996
Revised: 05/27/2006
To allow the purchase of equipment through installment purchases.
Background Information
Installment-Purchases may be desirable to extend the payout of capital Purchases over time instead of lump sum purchasing. However, installment-purchases are avoided because of the additional costs incurred in the form of interest.
Departments are permitted to make installment purchases of equipment, regardless of the funding source. All installment purchases must be approved by the Procurement and Contract Services (PaCS) group. Installment purchases/financing in excess of $100,000 require that the financing be acquired separately from the equipment through a third-party financing bid administered by the State of Oregon Department of Administrative Services (DAS).
An installment purchase made with grant funds must have the purchase (payment of installments) completed within the time period of the grant. (If a grant is for 3 years and equipment is purchased on an installment plan in the first month of the grant, then the payment schedule cannot be longer than 36 months.)
The Installment purchase option should not be used when the ownership of the equipment is Federally-Owned (FN) or Other-Owned (OI).
Title to the equipment passes to OSU with the first payment. The first payment is usually coded "equipment," and the item is added to inventory at its full value (total of all principal payments) at the same time. The remaining payments are coded "principal installment payments" and "interest expenses" as appropriate (see PRO-Ex10: Account Codes).

I will laugh if this happens after all the unkind things UGA fans have said about Trooper.
Should UGA hire Trooper Taylor to land 5-star linebacker Reuben Foster? Foster floated that idea on Tuesday to ESPN's Kipp Adams: "I would say
blogs.ajc.comFirst off we dont have a coaching vacancy to fill. If we did we still wont hire Trooper. Any spot that opens would go to possible a new.offensive coord(If Bobo takes a HC position) or they would simply bring in Hines Ward in some capacity. Not sure what it is, but Trooper has something on RF....just has too. No other recruit has this much desire to work with one coach. Specially considering it isnt even his position coach. Trooper will land somewhere and watch RF follow him.

This convenient plate allows any of our toggle clamps to quickly and easily attach directly to a T-track. Just mount a toggle clamp to the plate, then affix the whole assembly to any T-track on the market. Use it to get the most out of your toggle clamps and any workbenches, tables, jigs or surfaces with T-tracks. It's a great way to add a hold-down to fences with top-mounted T-tracks. The steel plate features adjustable slots to accommodate a wide variety of toggle clamps and comes complete with mounting screws and all the necessary hardware and knobs. Toggle clamps sold separately.

Great way to mount a Rockler Multi-Track fence to a Magswitch MagSquare (two plates for two MagSquares). Just add m5 x 0.8mm screws; the plates come with the T-nuts for the fence. Presto! Magnetic fence!(Product loses a star because it's made in Taiwan.)

Posted January 13, 2009
Well, these new metal bases are even better[than wood blocks]. They are more flush than the wood blocks, they are more adjustable as to where the clamp is mounted, and you can even do some angle mounting if needed. You can add/remove/change a clamp with very little effort. One side of the plate is countersunk, so the screws go in without causing any clearance problems. I'd recommend having a couple of these (at least) for mounting clamps that you want to engage into a t-track.

A 16-year-old boy was arrested Thursday afternoon in the 400 block of Miami Street after he ran from police as they attempted to serve him an arrest warrant.
Tiffin Police Chief Fred Stevens said the boy had run out of his residence after police tried to serve him a warrant charging him with burglary and absconding probation.
After a foot chase that lasted about 20 minutes, he was found hiding under a truck in a driveway near Nelson and Miami streets. He was arrested and taken to the Seneca County Youth Center.
He faces charges of juvenile delinquency and obstructing official business, according to police records.
Stevens said Washington Elementary had been contacted to lock its doors during the chase.
He said the Adult Parole Authority, the Seneca County Sheriff's Office and detectives from the Tiffin Police Department assisted officers in locating the boy.
