federal and state grants
Federal Pell Grant
A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, does not have to be repaid. Pell Grants are usually awarded only to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor's or a professional degree. The maximum Pell Grant award for the 2011-12 award year (July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012) is $5,550. The amount you get, however, will depend not only on your financial need, but also on your costs to attend school, your status as a full-time or part-time student, and your plans to attend school for a full academic year or less. You must be enrolled at least half-time and in a program that leads to a bachelor's degree. To apply for these grants you must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) every year.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
FSEOG is a federally funded supplemental award given by SFAI to Pell Grant recipients who qualify for the full amount of the Pell Grant. The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) program is for undergraduates with exceptional financial need. Pell Grant recipients with the lowest expected family contributions (EFC) will be considered first for a FSEOG. Just like Pell Grants, the FSEOG does not have to be repaid. FSEOG is a limited fund so only students who complete their FAFSA in a timely manner will be considered for this grant.
Cal Grant and Other State Grants
To qualify for the California State Grant Program (Cal Grant), you must be a U.S. Citizen, a Permanent Resident, or an Eligible Non-citizen and a California resident attending an eligible school in California at least half-time. To be considered for a Cal Grant, the FAFSA and GPA Verification Form must be filed by March 2 of each year.
If included in your award letter, the amount is estimated based on the projected state budget and the income, household, and asset information reported on the FAFSA. Cal Grant eligibility is subject to confirmation before the amount can be applied to a student's bill. You will be notified via revised award letter if your estimated Cal Grant eligibility changes. If you receive a Cal B stipend, you may request that the funds be issued to you for books; otherwise, they will be applied to your direct costs. Residents of states other than California may be eligible for state grants for attendance at SFAI. Contact your state's department of educational assistance for specific information and application procedures for students who study out of state.
For additional information or questions, please contact the Financial Aid Office.

Deputies with the Scott County Sheriff's Office busted a meth lab, but that wasn't what they were first looking for.
Detectives say they got a report of an stolen ATV, or all terrain vehicle, from a resident of Scott County. The owner said he recognized his ATV listed for sale on the Internet website, Craigslist.
When detectives went to investigate, they found evidence that there may also be a drug-making operation on the property in the 1800 block of West 68th Street in Davenport.
Officers got warrants and say the found the stolen ATV as well as drug production going on inside a camper parked on the property. Atlinner Shaneese Moore-Louis and Eric Louis See are charged with manufacturing methamphetamine. Mr. See is also charged with 3rd degree theft.

Heroes & Hearts
Thursday, February 12, 2015 from 11:30am-1:30pm.
Heroes & Hearts began in 2006. A seated luncheon fundraiser, Heroes & Hearts brings the community together to:
- Celebrate the essential role The General plays in our City and its community impact
- Continue the Hearts in San Francisco project
- Honor local heroes whose actions improve our community
- Raise funds to support the Foundation's mission
For the first six years, Heroes & Hearts took place under a tent at Union Square. As the popularity of the luncheon continued to grow, the fundraiser moved to a tent on the field at AT&T Park. Taking place each February, Heroes & Hearts sells out with 1,000 guests. The fundraiser is the Foundation's largest source of unrestricted revenue. Proceeds from the luncheon are used to fund the Hearts Grants Program. These grants are awarded to innovative programs and initiatives at The General that will result in improved patient care and have the potential to develop sustainable funding. View the most recent list of 2013 Hearts Grants Recipients.
Sponsorship levels start at $5,000 and individual tickets are $300. For information on sponsorship, tickets, or purchasing or creating a Hearts in San Francisco sculpture, please contact Katie Moe, Director of Marketing, 415.206.5928 or email@example.com.
The Foundation is incredibly grateful to the many people who have supported Heroes & Hearts over the years, including our guests, artists, heroes, hospital staff, committee members and event sponsors.
Thank you!

Wonderful cottage
The cottage has everything we needed and more. The house was already decorated for Christmas and we experienced a cozy and warm feeling during our stay. Peaceful and quiet , just what we needed. We will definitely come back !
relaxing vacation!
We love Longview! The home is sparkling clean and comfortable, with many activities for the whole family to enjoy. We had memorable campfires, game nights, and kayak rides. (Paddle up the river until you can't go anymore…so peaceful!) Barb and Jim are wonderful, too!
Lovely Lake Cottage!
This lovely cottage on the lake was just perfect! Beautifully kept house, furniture and property, complete with kayaks and canoe to use on the beautiful lake. Equipped with life jackets for adults and children, as well as central air and heat, and a back-up generator. We were very impressed with the beauty of the house and the excellent care Deb and Mark have taken to ensure renters' comfort. The Adirondack museum is less than an hour away or a five minute walk gets you to a lovely little public beach. There are many restaurants if you don't wish to use the adorable kitchen in the house. We especially loved the care taken to plant hummingbird friendly gardens all around the property. They visited us often! We recommend this terrific place to everyone looking for a quiet Adirondack getaway!

MLS today made a sound decision by suspending Brian Mullan for 10 games and fining him $5,000 for a tackle that broke the leg of Steve Zakuani. Mullen had been upset that he didn't get a foul called for him and went in completely recklessly on Zakuani. Ryan Shawcross only got the normal red card 3 games for his horrendous tackle on Ramsey. What the hell was the FA thinking by not increasing Shawcross' suspension? I'm still really angry about that. Just one thing, suspensions for players in the MLS are paid, so they continue to pick up a paycheck while they're serving their time. That's pretty wrong.
Anyway the point is, Hey FA are you paying attention you daft wankers?!?! Stop being so stupid!

Pallet Project Inspiration
We came across a lot of pallets last week and rather than throw them out, I wanted to put them to good use. There are lots of great things you can make with pallet wood. Just do a google image search for pallet wood and you will see lots of creative ideas. I came across this inspiration photo featured over at Design Sponge and thought this bench was really great!
Tomorrow I will be posting pics of our newly fall decorated front porch!
Have a great day!
P.S. Click here to order bread boards!

I can't wait to see your front porch all decorated for Fall! I just LOVE your style. I look forward to your new posts. I really like that pallet bench. I think it's a great way to reuse something with a rustic industrial feel.ReplyDelete
You have such a beautiful style! I love every bit of it! So glad I found you! I'm your newest follower!ReplyDelete
Hope you'll stop by!
I love it! Can't wait to see how it turns out for you!ReplyDelete
There seems to be an endless supply of pallet where I live. You've just inspired me to try my hand at making a couple of benches. Thanks!ReplyDelete
I made a couple outdoor side tables from pallets: http://bluechateauinteriors.blogspot.com/2011/09/fabulous-pallet-outdoor-side-tables.html
Great inspiration picture. Can't wait to see how your version turns out.ReplyDelete
It'll be great, I'm certain :)
Do your sofas not get stolen at night? or do you put them away? I'd love to have one out but I don't think the weathers good enough here, it'd get blown away!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment today! I read every one and they always put a smile on my face! Thanks for stopping by!

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly sealed a deal to bring Louis Saha to White Hart Lane. Spurs have been looking for a striker for something like the last ten seasons, and despite the presence of Emmanuel Adebayor on loan from Manchester City it was clear that they needed reinforcements up front this window as well. Enter former Manchester United man Louis Saha, who's been with Everton since 2008.
Saha is indeed a striker - and once upon a time he was quite a good one, routinely ending up in double figures for goals scored. Unfortunately for Tottenham, he's also injury prone, 33 years old and on a terrible run of form, making this deal somewhat baffling from their perspective. Spurs should have been in the market for an elite attacker - while the crew of Jermain Defoe and Roman Pavlyuchenko may not have been good enough, it's difficult to see how Saha makes them any better. None of that's stopping Tottenham, who've already finalised a loan deal for an undisclosed sum. Right then.
For more on Spurs and Everton, visit Cartilage Free Captain and Royal Blue Mersey respectively.

Dear Fellow Educators,
We invite you to use the Santa Barbara Museum of Art as a teaching resource and extension of your classroom. Learning through art is a powerful way to enhance the curriculum at every grade level and across subject areas. Using a discussion-based approach and a blend of Visual Thinking Strategies as well as thinking routines, we invite students to learn how to look. The development of critical thinking skills has come to be recognized as an essential component in the education of young people and is at the heart of the new Common Core standards. Learning to look at art helps students develop the kind of skills that are essential for success across curriculum and throughout life: helping them to become college and career ready. Within the framework of these facilitated discussions, students take on increasingly complex ideas as they move through grade levels and show significant improvement in associating, comparing, and contrasting, flexible thinking, supporting a hypothesis with relevant evidence, and most strongly, observing and interpreting as they construct both their own and shared knowledge.
Admission to the Museum is FREE to all Santa Barbara County students (from K–college) with current ID/proof of local residency and all Santa Barbara County teachers (K–12th grade) with current ID.
Sign-up for our K–1 age appropriate interactive studio class and gallery tour at the Museum, request a classroom Power Point presentation and tour date for your 2–6 grade class, register for educator events and workshops, and access resources to use in the classroom.
2014-2015 K-6 School & Teacher Brochure will be available September 1, 2014.

Longtime Channel 4 anchor Dan Miller was honored Friday for his many contributions to journalism in Tennessee.
He was among six people being inducted into the first class of the Tennessee Journalism Hall of Fame, located on the Middle Tennessee State University campus.
The hall of fame has been in the works for years and will officially open at the Murphy Center.
Miller first came to Channel 4 in 1969 and was often recognized as a popular and accomplished broadcaster.
In addition to winning multiple awards for journalism and broadcasting, Miller was the first on-air personality to win the governor's award for lifetime achievement.
He passed away in 2009 while visiting his hometown of Augusta, GA.
Other inductees included John Seigenthaler, former editor of The Tennessean and founder of the First Amendment Center at Vanderbilt University.

New Orleans, La. - Nearly three years after 2-year-old Jeremy Galmon lost his life at 1st and Dryades in Central City, his grandmother took the stand in Orleans Criminal District Court describing that horrible day.
Joyce Galmon told jurors, "I heard like a balloon pop at first and then I heard numerous shots and the back glass of the car fell. I grabbed my grandson because he was standing up. I noticed he had blood in his face and mouth."
Jeremy Galmon was sitting in a parked car with his grandmother as a second line parade passed nearby. The toddler was struck by a stray bullet in a hail of gunfire.
Joyce Galmon told jurors, "I started screaming and hollering, 'Help, help, help.'"
She went on to say her son arrived within seconds and they turned little Jeremy over so he wouldn't choke on his own blood, but it was too late.
Two cousins, Bernel and Jamiron Pollard, are charged with second-degree murder and each are also charged with two counts of attempted second-degree murder.
In opening statements, Bernel Pollard's attorney, Arthur Harris, told the jury, "The state is asking you to believe bogus evidence. There are some credibility issues here."
Prosecutors showed jurors pictures of the crime scene and even the blood-stained clothes Jeremy Galmon wore back in September 2010 when he was killed.
Several witnesses took the stand, including Galmon's mother, who was led from the courtroom in tears after her emotional testimony.
Detectives also testified to the more than 25 bullet casings found on the scene. 911 tapes were also played in open court.
Testimony continues on Thursday in Judge Robin Pittman's court.

I would love to see The Matchmaker revived, and since you asked, I'd like to play Mrs. Dolly Levi. I read the play again recently, and Thornton Wilder's words inspired one of the great heroines in musical theatre history for a reason. Dolly's original voice sings, too, without a note of music. But since you asked, I wouldn't mind a Hello, Dolly! revival either. I'm totally available.
Jeffrey Kuhn
I would love to see something unique and inventive from Tommy Tune's heyday — where actors and movement and staging really drove the story. It would be foolhardy to even tiptoe into Michael Jeter's shoes as Otto Kringelein in Grand Hotel, but I think it would be divine. Or Legs Diamond. And I'd promise to open with less than 72 previews.

We spent a great week in Hawaii in this house with my wife and three twenty-something children. The house was great and the master bedroom privacy was perfect for us. Very convenient to the beaches and the amazing hikes into the Na Pali coast. The numerous one lane bridges made it feel like we were really at the end of the line. If you're looking for action this is not the place but if you're looking for a peaceful time and access to the great beaches/snorkeling and hiking of the North Coast this is a good option. We all loved it. Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+.

Can't wait to return!!
Our overall experience was amazing! The house was as pictured, a great home with everything you need to make your stay comfortable. The location was excellent, a quiet cul-de-sac across from a good bar/restaurant with a short walk to some of the most beautiful and quiet beaches on the island. We are already planning our return! Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

I can not wait to return again this summer
Except for some chickens in the morning its a very quiet country/residental setting with Fantastic views of Bali Hi Mountain and partial ocean. Hale Hanalei Beach House is in a cul de sac and there is a creek in the back yard. I'm glad I brought my insect repellent nad there were some cintronella candles on the lanai. I personally love walking down to Lumahi Beach from the road top and then just walking on the beach north westward. I recommend swimming (or surfing) at Hanalei, or Tunnels where they have life guards and Kee' Beach, the back yard beach has wonderful snorkeling. I plan to return this summer.

Family vacation:) and Honeymoon!!
We went to the beach house in August with our families. One of the things my husband and I appreciated was that the master bedroom is actually a separate house with its own deck and bar but at the same time it's connected to the house by a bridge. The house is really cute and clean and the front yard is always abundant with fragrant native hawaiian flowers. It's location is convenient but quiet, there is a day spa, mediterranean retaurant and most importantly, a secluded beach across the street where we were times often the only beach guests. The other highlight for us was the beautiful church in Hanalei where we got married. We loved it and hope to go back soon!!

The viewfinder gets a fair bit darker compared to the stock focus screen if you're using slow lenses (f2.8 and faster is the same, f4 is noticeable, f5.6 is much darker). Other than that, no issues at all.I can offer you a much better (and cheaper) solution. First, if your camera takes interchangeable focusing screens (all canon FF cameras except 5D3), install screen Eg-S, which will make subjects really snap into focus vs the stock screen. Zeiss lenses have focus confirmation, meaning even though you rack focus manually, you still get a focus confirmation light / beep. Focus confirmation via the camera's AF system is just as accurate as focusing via live view sans tripod. Enjoy your Zeiss!
Interesting, does using the Eg-S with EF lenses lose you any functionality?
cheers, good to know that
There's also the Katzeye focus screens, which have the same focusing ability as the Eg-S screens, but also have a split prism and a micro prism collar, much like old film SLRs had. I have one, and the micro prism is the most helpful part, in my opinion. The split might distract some people

The wide range in body weight and body composition observed among dialysis patients seriously limits the use of the actual body weight for assessment or prescription of nutritional intake. The use of the actual or unadjusted body weight to assess the actual nutrient intake or to prescribe the intake of energy and protein can be hazardous when individuals are very obese or very underweight. On the other hand, it may be hazardous to ignore the effects of the patient's body size on dietary needs and tolerance in individuals who are markedly underweight or overweight. It is recognized that the determination of the patient's edema-free body weight is often difficult and not precise. Clinical judgement based on physical examination and, if necessary, body composition measurements are used to estimate the presence or absence of edema.
The following equation can be used to calculate the edema-free adjusted body weight (aBWef)63:
where BWef is the actual edema-free body weight and SBW is the standard body weight as determined from the NHANES II data.89 Since interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) can be as high as 6 to 7 kg in HD patients, and peritoneal dialysate plus intraperitoneal ultrafiltrate can reach 2 to 5 kg, the aBWef should be calculated based on postdialysis values for HD patients and post-dialysate drain measurements for peritoneal dialysis patients.
Equation 1 takes into account the fact that the metabolic needs and dietary protein and energy requirements of adipose tissue in obese individuals is less than that of edema-free lean body mass and also that very underweight individuals are less likely to become metabolically overloaded if they are prescribed diets based on their aBWef as compared with the standard (normal) body weight for individuals of similar age, height, gender, and skeletal frame size. Since the volume of distribution of urea and other protein metabolites is reduced in smaller individuals, a reduced protein prescription based on the aBWef, as compared with the standard weight, should lead to a lesser rate of accumulation of these metabolites in the body. On the other hand, use of the aBWef instead of the actual body weight of an underweight individual may provide the additional nutrients necessary for nutrient repletion. The use of the aBWef for prescribing protein or energy intake should be considered as a starting point. As always, clinical judgment and longitudinal assessment of body weight and other nutritional measures should be used to assess the response to dietary therapy and for making further decisions concerning dietary management.
The use of the aBWef may not be required for all patients. Clinical experience suggests that the actual edema-free body weight may be used effectively for nutritional assessment and nutritional prescription when the BWef is between 95% and 115% of the SBW as determined from the median body weights obtained from the NHANES II data.89
1. The use of the aBWef for assessment and prescription of nutritional intake must be validated.
2. More precise and practical methods are needed for assessing the size of body water compartments and, in particular, undesirable increases or reductions in total body water, intracellular water, or extracellular or intravascular water.

Maybe it's not a WC thing to not use the shot gun. Maybe it's a University of Dayton thing, because Chuck Noll always refused to use the shot gun with the Steelers.
i think dunno why there is such a desire from fans to see us use a shotgun, it restricts the use of run plays. rollouts bootlegs, and playactions. It sets the D a target of where the QB is gonna be and there is a greater chance of fumbles. Plus its harder to block D becasue of the angle you create
There are a variety of reasons. For one, look at how many teams in the league use the formation. It is a very common formation for most teams. Some teams, such as the Colts run almost their entire offense out of the shotgun formation. It is clear that someone who does not watch a ton of football and could be considered more of a casual fan would see that as a reason for the team to use it. The Colts are a great offensive power and they use the formation a ton, so why shouldn't we? This argument does not take into account such counterarguments like the west coast timing is altered by the shotgun. Secondly, you bring up three points about why installing the formation is not a prudent venture for the team. The first is that the formation limits playcalling. With this I respectfully disagree. The formation, if run only occasionally actually expands your playcalling. A team that runs the formation as their basic offensive set would be limited, yes, however a team who only uses the shotgun formation sparingly would be expanding their capabilities. Take for example the Falcons and their read option play. They absolutely blew our run defense apart by using this play. Gradkowski is no Michael Vick, however, he could on occasion have similar success with that type of play. The shotgun formation is actually the key to this play because of the read that Vick is able to make from the start. He is off of the line of scrimage far enough that he can read the blitz more effectively and then make his decision as to whether to keep or hand the ball off. This brings me to another point of why it is a worthwhile venture, despite your arguments. The QB is able to see the field better from the formation. This is indisputable. Stepping back just a few steps helps a ton with what the QB can see rather than being under center. The second argument you make is that the offensive line has a harder time blocking for the QB. On this point I will partially agree. The teams that you see having success with the formation are the teams who have good offensive lines. Aren't those the same teams that are having success in football on the offensive side of the ball in general anyway? I think this has considerably less to do with the formation than with the linemen themselves, but I will credit you with the fact that the Bucs offensive line has been shaky all season and for the last few seasons at that and so this could present a problem. Usually people associate the formation with allowing the QB to have more time to throw but really if your line is no good then this formation doesn't help you there except maybe a second give or take. Your third and final argument is that there is a greater chance of fumbles from the shotgun. I don't believe this. I don't know where that came from, and I don't know where it could possibly come. The only way to know would be to keep track of fumbles out of the formation for a season at the least and probably more like 2-5 seasons in order to know for sure if your allegation is accurate. I don't believe that there is any correlation between using the formation and an increased number of fumbles, but if you have a website to show me that in fact then I will believe it. Really, it sounds more like mere opinion than anything and that's cool. I would be interested to know if you have a site though.In short it is good in moderation and better if you have a good OL. That could be why we aren't using it.
I bet the Bucs run the shotgun before the year is over. He's pretty open minded in that respect and if the QB is excels at it, ala TOm BRady, then he'll depoloy it.
Holmgren came out and gave Hasselbeck the ok to use the shotgun if he feels more comfortable in that situation. No biggie, right?The thing is...this leaves Jon Gruden as the only coach in the NFL who does employ the shotgun.

The Grand Imam of Egypt's powerful al-Azhar Mosque denounced Israel's strikes on Gaza on Wednesday, calling them the "Zionist army's bombing of innocent civilians", Egyptian and Saudi news sources reported.
In his statement on Wednesday, Mohamed Ahmed El Tayeb warned the "Zionist entity" against continuing the strikes, which he said were "brutal" and would lead the entire region into a wider conflict.
El Tayeb called on the United Nations and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to act for the people of Gaza and deter the "usurper entity from exercising its barbarism against defenseless civilians", according to Saudi Arabia's Bab news site.
The Grand Imam said Palestinians in Gaza had a "right to live safely like any other human beings."
However, in his statement El Tayeb did not mention or allude to the rocket attacks against Israel.
On Wednesday, Israel's permanent representative in the United Nations, Ron Prosor, said in a strongly-worded letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon that Palestinian terror organizations launched more than 150 rockets onto Israeli territory over the past few days.
El Tayeb is a powerful figure in Egypt and the Sunni world. The al-Azhar mosque is part of the al-Azhar University, considered the world's leading center Sunni Islamic jurisprudence.
The Grand Imam has previously spoken out against Israel and the Jews, stating last year that he believes Jews "all over the world" are trying to prevent Islamic and Egyptian unity.
In a 2011 Muslim Brotherhood rally in Cairo, where Brotherhood members and Palestinian guest speakers called for Muslims to wage jihad [holy war] against Israel, El Tayeb told the crowd that Muslims should not allow "Zionists" to "Judaize Jerusalem," and said that the al-Aqsa Mosque was "under an offensive from the Jews".

COLUMBUS, OH (Toledo News Now) – Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine has released a report outlining findings of an Ohio sex trafficking study that centered around 328 self-identified human trafficking victims.
The report, issued by the Attorney General's Human Trafficking Commission and authored by commission member and University of Toledo Professor Celia Williamson, took more than a year to compile and focused on minor and adult sex trafficking across the state.
"The Ohio Attorney General's Office asked the commission to go out into the community and talk with human trafficking victims," said DeWine. "Because of this report, we now have more insight into who is more likely to get trafficked and how to prevent it."
Researchers spoke with victims primarily in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton and Toledo, finding that more than one-third of the sample said they were trafficked for sex before the age of 18. A striking majority of female victims said they were recruited by other women also involved in the sex trade or who acted like a friend.
The study also focused on the lives of victims before they were trafficked, identifying similar early indicators that could be viewed as high-risk factors for other Ohio youth who have not yet been involved in the child sex trade.
Of the victims who spoke retrospectively about their childhood experiences:
• 63 percent reported they ran away from home at least once
• 59 percent reported they had friends who were involved in selling themselves
• 47 percent reported being raped more than a year before they were trafficked
• 44 percent reported being victims of abuse
"The number of victims who were runaways before their involvement with sex trafficking is very telling," said DeWine. "Right now our Missing Persons Unit at the Bureau of Criminal Investigation works with local law enforcement and families to locate runaways. We need to get to the root of the problem and make sure these kids don't slip through the cracks."
The report also included seven recommendations from the commission on how to stop future victimization:
• Establish a better response to Ohio youth who run away
• Identify child trafficking as child abuse
• Establish protocols that identify victims and divert high-risk youth
• Reduce the stigma related to youth victims
• Focus on arresting and convicting buyers
• Invest in responding to adult sex trafficking
• Engage schools in the fight against child sex trafficking
"From our sample of victims who entered the sex trade before age 18, none reported receiving assistance from a teacher," Williamson said in the report. "However, knowledgeable teachers are likely to recognize high-risk factors and intervene before a troubled child drops out of school."
The Attorney General's Human Trafficking Commission is offering a webinar later this month to teach education professionals the signs of human trafficking. Webinars will also be offered for students, families, and community members in the fall.
Members of the Human Trafficking Commission will take the recommendations in the report into consideration in the future work to fight sex trafficking.

Re: H
Not too big a job, depending on whether you have fluid or weights. A cherry picker makes it much easier. If the wheels haven't been moved in a while, the clamp bolts may be hard to loosen. 2 inside and 2 outside, per wheel. One word of warning, once the wheels are reversed, the tread is pretty narrow and will make it easy to tip over.

Re: H
Good news! Now I just have to figger out how to get it on the trailer with those front tires. My trailer has ramps.
47 Cub (Glenda)

In all things know which way the wind is blowing.
Re: H
Assuming it is a trailer with 2 ramps, either borrow a third one, or else drive up to the trailer at a 90 degree angle (rear wheels next to end of ramps). When the rear wheel lines up with the ramp, cut the steering wheel all the way while riding the brake. The front wheels will go up the other ramp, and be right at the edge just as they hit the trailer. Keep on swinging around till you are straight, and then just drive on. One word of caution doing this, if you do not cut the wheels and ride the brakes hard enough at the same time, it may tend to push the ramps off the side of the trailer. As a safety precaution, I have welded a couple pieces of angle at the end of the ramp brackets to keep them from sliding off the end of angle brackets. Of course, this only works loading nose first, not backing on.

Re: H
I have removed H wheel/tire assemblies by first totally removing the clamp to give plenty of slop. Then lower tractor to within a bout 2" of the ground. Use a 2 wheel dolley to remove using that extra space where the clamp was removed. If just adjusting loosen clamp with slot down and insert a greased wire. Roll wheel 180 and slide on wire then roll back to remove wire. They actually sold a flat bar for this that had ball bearings crimped into it about 1/2" apart.

12 oz can.
A: Aggressive pour into a Southern Start pint glass. Good carbonation. Not too much. One half inch head quickly receding into a partially covered surface. Small amount of lacing on side of glass that disappears quickly. Medium golden amber color. Unfiltered and a bit cloudy.
S: Small amount of malt, bread note and barely detectable hops.
T: Light tasting. Tastes just like it smells.
M: Light and creamy with a smooth crisp finish and just a slight bitterness.
O: The gateway beer into the Southern Star craft brewery. Its nice. Certainly nothing out of place here. Very balanced. Could be a good choice for the beach or pool.

Busternuggz scored this in a trade.
This beer is way too dark to be a blonde. More of a light amber. Toasty, sweet hazelnut, and honey in the nose. Similar taste, very much like a bizzare amber. The dry, toasty, hazelnut finish lingers long after you swallow. Very unexpected flavors in this beer. Pretty nice.

Pours a golden orange with a nice, one-finger white head. The beer is slightly hazy. The aroma is wheat, lemon, malt and some honey. The flavor is very nice, with some citrus and honey and biscuit malt. I also get a little caramel characteristic in the flavor. The mouthfeel is medium and very creamy. Medium carbonation. A great blonde ale and it is nice to see a brewery actually try and pack flavor into a beer of this style, instead of just brewing a watered-down beer, calling it a blonde ale and targeting BMC drinkers.

Can purchased from Homewood Whole Foods and poured into a pint glass.
The creamy mouthfeel on this bubblegum bomb make for one easy drinker. "Clarity is over rated" on the back the can doesn't lie.
Not the quintessential blondie, but damn drinkable.

Poured into a pint glass pale straw yellow with a nice thick white head. Lacing all the way down the glass. Smell is very fruity, suprisingly strong. Taste is very malty, with hints of various fruit flavors. The hop bite at the end leaves a slight dry feel, which is the only downer. This is going to be a great Texas Summer beer.

I didn't know what to expect from a Texas Blonde ale, but this one pours a slightly hazed honey golden hue with a bright white head. Aroma is pretty mellow layers of grassy herbal hops and sweet honey drizzled bread notes. Flavors more grassy herbal hops lending a slight bitterness with a nice honey dipped breadiness full all grain malts going on. No rough offness just a clean drinkable golden ale. Satisfying maltiness and even carbonation with a light to medium body straight from the can into my favorite mug. Overall experience so far with these Texan canned beers have been nothing but positive, if you see them grab some especially fresh pale ale or any form of the Buried Hatchet Stout.

12 oz can served in a pint glass.
Light amber color; hazy; with a semi-durable head.
Light, watery body with medium carbonation.
Somewhat unappealing aroma with a better flavor.
Still very light flavoring. light citrus. Really needs more malt.
O: no reason to recommend this beer.

Received as an extra in a trade with screach. Thanks for the chance to try another craft beer in a can, and another Texas brew.
Appearance- Poured pretty aggressively into a pint glass, Bombshell Blonde produces a very sexy, 2-finger cream colored head that stuck around for quite awhile before settling into a comfortable 1/2 finger of creaminess a top the body. Beautiful lace left behind, especially on the second half of the glass. The body itself is a full, dirty blonde hue. A very good looking beer.
Smell- The sweet aroma of the Vienna/American malts are quite pleasing. There's also slight citrus notes resting on top of some biscuit aroma. Not very overpowering, but a nice combination nonetheless.
Taste- Pretty straight forward biscuity goodness with a kiss of floral hops and nuttiness. Not very complex, and I don't really want it to be. It quenches my thirst and is malt forward in the right way. It almost reminds me of a blonde take on a nut brown ale.
MF- Much creamier than I'd expect from a blonde ale, but that is a good thing. Nice middle ground carbonation, and finishes slightly dry.
Drinkability- Not my favorite style, but I'll be damned if I couldn't drink a lot of this on a hot day, or even right now sitting in a 68 degree house. It doesn't taste or smell as good as a kickass IPA or RIS, but that shouldn't be what it's held up against. It's a blonde ale, and I can't think of another beer of the same style that I'd rather have. Great job Southern Star.

The color is a hazy though somewhat less hazy than expected blonde (yes) yellow. A small white head forms and has fairly good staying power before fading to a sturdy foam. Light to moderate lacing is left behind.
A distinct herbal note is the first smell I notice, followed by a light honey-like sweetness mixed with a distinctive yeast note and rounded out by a fresh hops, then finished off by a balancing malt it. I could do with a little more strength and something about the yeast threw it off. Otherwise it's quite good.
The taste follows suit, with the hops making for a heady herbal, earthy flavor. The honey-like sweetness takes a moment to come out but lingers for a good, long time. Like the smell, it's tasty and well-rounded and would be better if it was stronger. The flavors are there, but I'm just on the verge of calling it "flavorful."
As claimed, this beer does have a smooth, creamy body, light to medium in depth with a nice nip of crispness to it.
There's plenty of drinkability to this one, though if it was stronger I'd be more inclined to it. All round a tasty brew, though.

Rugby club urges fans: 'Keep giving us your support'
Updated 9:28am Friday 8th February 2013 in News By Andy Walker, Chief Reporter (Darlington)
BOSSES at a North-East rugby club which has breathed new life into a former football stadium have urged the public to show their support again this weekend.
Having opened their account at The Northern Echo Arena with a thumping 62-7 win over Bromsgrove, Darlington Mowden Park take on Hull Ionians on Saturday (February 9), hoping to narrow the gap on their Yorkshire promotion rivals.
Club officials now estimate that up to 2,000 supporters attended last weekend's showpiece inaugural game.
Although the attendance is not expected to remain at that level for the forthcoming game, the club is still hopeful of a healthy turnout.
Mowden bought the stadium earlier this year, following the departure of Darlington FC last year in the wake of a fans' takeover.
The club has plans to develop a 17-acre plot of land adjoining the stadium into training pitches, while space within the stadium itself if being let to businesses.
Mowden coach Danny Brown said: "We have had meetings to discuss what we would like to tweak going forward, but it is difficult because the turnaround between the two games is very short.
"It is not as if we have been in the stadium for three years.
"It looks as if the numbers from last Saturday were in the region of 1,800 to 2,000 as opposed to the 1,300 that was first thought.
"We do not expect the same turnout this week, but we would be happy with a crowd of 600 to 700.
"Hopefully people will buy into what we are trying to do here."
Crowds at Mowden's former Yiewsley Drive ground averaged in the region of 300, with the club hoping to maintain gates of about 500 once the initial interest in the move subsides.
A pale ale – Mowden Mauler – produced by Mithril Ales, proved popular at last weekend's opening match.
Pete Fenwick, who runs the microbrewery at Aldborough St John, near Darlington, said a 72-pint cask sold out quickly.
He was at the stadium on Thursday (February 7) to deliver a consignment of signature Route A66 brew for Saturday's game.
Mowden Mauler met with approval from supporters and club officials alike, including Mr Brown.
He said: "I am not normally a real ale man, but it was very good."
- Admission for this weekend's game costs £6 for adults, payable at the turnstile. Under 16s go free.

Student Highlights - Sonja Allen
FOR THE PAST year, University of Maine student Sonja Allen of
South Burlington, Vt., has used her double majors in marine science
and studio art to create seascapes in the lobby and halls of UMaine's
Aquaculture Research Center, a popular educational destination for
schoolchildren visiting campus. Allen, who graduated in May, completed
the network of murals this fall. In collaboration with Neil Greenberg, director
of aquatic operations for UMaine's Aquaculture Research Institute, she painted
creatures that are the focus of research at the center, as well as their intriguing
habitats, ranging from a Maine tide pool to a California kelp forest. Allen's
passion is her marine sculpture, which was displayed earlier this year on campus.
