1022 Senate Street
Columbia, SC 29201
Corey Smith is a singer/songwriter and guitarist who grew up in Jefferson, a small town in Georgia. For much of his adolescence, Smith was discontent with his small town roots, admitting later that he often dreamed of leaving Jefferson. After one semester abroad, he found that his heart remained in Georgia and returned home to attend the University of West Georgia and then the University of Georgia, where his longtime girlfriend and now wife attended. During school, he developed a reputation for playing his guitar everywhere and anywhere, often spotted with the instrument at parties and bars. His debut album Undertones, released in 2003, features one of his most requested songs, "Twenty One." Smith gained a solid fan base with his alcohol and party-driven lyrics as well as his folk rock/country blues sound, a brand of music that he continued throughout his following albums including his 2011 effort, The Broken Record.View More >

WASHINGTON — Despite President Barack Obama's exhortations, the Senate prepared to swiftly kill his jobs package Tuesday and the White House and congressional leaders were already moving on to other ways to cut the nation's painfully high unemployment without raising taxes.
Obama's $447 billion jobs bill didn't figure to get a single GOP vote, even after his weeks-long campaign-style effort to drum up support for a measure he said would reduce the jobless rate from its current 9.1 percent.
Anticipating defeat, Obama promised to try again in smaller bites. "If they don't pass the whole package we're going to break it up into constituent parts" and try to push them through separately, Obama told members of his jobs council.
Still he pressed hard for Senate passage of the entire bill.
"Any senator who votes no should have to look you in the eye and tell you what exactly they're opposed to," Obama said to a union audience in Pittsburgh. Looking ahead to next year's elections, he said, "I think they'll have a hard time explaining why they voted no on this bill — other than the fact that I proposed it."
In fact, Democratic defections appeared to threaten that the measure would fail to win a simple majority, much less the 60 votes needed to overcome a Republicans filibuster. Even some who were to vote to break the filibuster, including Jim Webb, D-Va., and Joe Lieberman, a Connecticut independent who aligns with Democrats, said they oppose the underlying measure.
Obama's plan would combine Social Security payroll tax cuts for workers and businesses and other tax relief totaling about $270 billion with $175 billion in new spending on roads, school repairs and other infrastructure, as well as unemployment assistance and help to local governments to avoid layoffs of teachers, firefighters and police officers.
Obama says that the plan — more than half the size of his 2009 economic stimulus measure — would be an insurance policy against a double-dip recession and that continued economic intervention is essential given slower-than-hoped job growth.
"This is gut check time," Obama said. "Right now, our economy needs a jolt. Right now. And today, the Senate of the United States has a chance to do something, right now, by voting for the American Jobs Act."
Unlike the 2009 legislation, the current plan would be paid for with a 5.6 percent surcharge on income exceeding $1 million that would raise about $450 billion over the coming decade.
"Democrats' sole proposal is to keep doing what hasn't worked — along with a massive tax hike that we know won't create jobs," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Tuesday, saying there are 1.5 million fewer jobs than when Obama's 2009 economic package became law. "Why on earth would you support an approach that we already know won't work?" McConnell said.
Democratic support isn't unanimous either. Moderates including Sens. Ben Nelson of Nebraska and Joe Manchin of West Virginia, both up for re-election next year in states where Obama figures to lose, may abandon Obama on this issue.
The White House and Democratic leaders say the great majority of Democrats will vote for the plan, however. Support among Democrats has been shored up by replacing Obama's tax increases — particularly a proposal to limit the value of itemized deductions for families making more than $250,000 — with the surcharge on millionaires.
That millionaires proposal would hit about 392,000 households, according to an analysis by the Tax Policy Center, a Washington think tank. In 2013, the first year the tax would take effect, those wealthy households would see their taxes increase by an average of $110,500, according to the analysis.

US Attacks Kill 8 Iraqis, Including Family
At least eight Iraqi civilians have been killed in separate attacks from US forces. On Wednesday, a family of five died when a US helicopter struck their home in Tikrit. Both parents were killed along with their three children all under ten years old. Another five people were injured in a neighboring home. Also Wednesday, three Iraqi bank workers were killed when US forces shot their car near Baghdad's airport. Meanwhile, at least seven civilians were injured when a car bomb exploded in central Baghdad.
Witness: "We were sitting inside the shop, when we saw fire. The people who were sitting inside the shop were wounded and taken to the hospital. A number of vehicles were wrecked, and glass was strewn everywhere."
Bush Hosts Iraqi President for Talks on Long-Term Deal
Meanwhile, at the White House, President Bush hosted Iraqi President Jalal Talabani amidst ongoing talks on a status of forces agreement between Iraq and the United States. Bush said the two sides are making progress.
President Bush: "We talked a variety of subjects. We talked about a strategic framework agreement that suits the Iraqi government. We talked about elections and different laws that have been passed. I did compliment the President on working hard to see to it that the legislative session this year has been very successful. We talked about the fact that the economy is improving and that the attitude of the people there has improved immeasurably over the years."
Earlier this month, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki warned the talks had reached a dead end over several US demands. The Bush administration is seeking to keep more than fifty military bases in Iraq. It's also insisting on continuing military campaigns without consultation with the Iraqi government and immunity for American soldiers and contractors.
Supreme Court Cuts Exxon Damages for Alaska Oil Spill
The Supreme Court has sharply reduced the amount of money Exxon Mobil has to pay in punitive damages for the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska. An Alaskan jury had initially ruled Exxon should pay $5 billion in punitive damages for the accident that spilled 11 million gallons of crude oil into the fishing waters of Prince William Sound. Punitive damages were cut in half in 2006. On Wednesday, the Supreme Court cut the amount of punitive damages again and ordered Exxon Mobil to pay just $500 million — one-tenth of the original jury's ruling. We'll have more on this story after headlines.
Justices End Executions for Child Rape
In another ruling, the Supreme Court struck down the death penalty for raping a child. In a five-to-four judgment, justices said prisoners can only be executed for murder or crimes against the state. The ruling overturns laws in six states, including Louisiana, where two men have been on death row after being convicted of child rape.
Internal Probe Faults Security Gaps at US Nuclear Sites
A leaked US Air Force review has found major security flaws at most US bases storing nuclear weapons in Europe. The probe was launched after an incident last August in which a B-52 bomber inadvertently carried nuclear warheads on a cross-country flight. According to the report, security infrastructure is in need of major repair at several sites. At some bases, nuclear weapons were found to be guarded by private security guards and US soldiers with just months of experience. The report calls for reducing the number of nuclear weapons in Europe to "reduce vulnerabilities at overseas locations." The report was leaked to the Federation of American Scientists and published on its website. Hans Kristensen of the Federation of American Scientists said, "The main implication of the...report is that the nuclear weapons deployment in Europe is, and has been for the past decade, a security risk."
Amnesty International Erects Gitmo Cell on National Mall
In Washington, human rights activists with Amnesty International have erected a replica of a Guantánamo Bay prison cell on the National Mall. Zeke Johnson of the group Counter Terror with Justice said in addition to closing Guantánamo, government officials should be held accountable for authorizing torture.
Zeke Johnson: "Part of Amnesty International's campaign is calling for an end to torture and other cruel and inhuman and degrading treatment in the context of the fight against terrorism. So we want torture to end and for people who authorized and implemented it to be held accountable."
The action comes ahead of a House hearing today on interrogation practices at Guantánamo. Vice President Cheney's chief of staff David Addington and former Justice Department lawyer John Yoo are among those expected to testify. Today is also the World Day in Support of Victims of Torture.
Canadian Judge: US Treatment of Khadr Amounts to Torture
Meanwhile, a Canadian judge has issued a harsh rebuke of the US imprisonment of the Canadian prisoner Omar Khadr. On Wednesday, federal court judge Richard Mosley said Khadr's treatment has violated international laws against torture. Mosley cited a document detailing a technique used against Khadr during his interrogation. Mosley did not reveal the technique but said it should be publicly exposed. Khadr was fifteen years old when he was arrested by US troops in Afghanistan.
Judge: NSA Not Compelled to Disclose Spying on Gitmo Attorneys
In other Guantánamo news, a federal judge has rejected a suit that would have forced the National Security Agency to disclose whether it spied on the lawyers of Guantánamo prisoners. On Wednesday, US District Judge Denise Cote said the NSA does not need to tell lawyers whether they were spied on. Attorneys have claimed they've avoided international phone calls out of fear their phones are tapped.
Senate Begins Debate on FISA Bill
On Capitol Hill, the Senate has voted to begin debate on a measure that would rewrite the nation's surveillance laws and grant immunity to phone companies involved in President Bush's secret domestic spy program. The legislation gives the government new powers to eavesdrop on both domestic and international communications. The Democratic-controlled House approved its version of the bill last week.
Obama, Clinton to Hold Joint Rally
On the campaign trail, Senator Barack Obama and Senator Hillary Clinton are set to hold their first joint appearance today since Obama won the Democratic nomination earlier this month. Obama has reportedly asked top donors to help Clinton retire more than $10 million in campaign debt. On Wednesday, Obama said he would welcome Clinton's aid during the campaign.
Sen. Barack Obama: "I think we can send Senator Clinton anywhere, and she'll be effective. So, obviously it'll be constrained by her schedule, but I'm looking forward to campaigning vigorously with her. I think we will have a terrific time together in New Hampshire, and I think that she will be very effective all the way through November."
South Koreans Protest as US Beef Imports Set to Resume
In South Korea, thousands of people continued to rally in the capital Seoul Wednesday ahead of today's expected move to resume importing US beef.
Protester: "Obviously the president is not listening to us. He made his nationally televised apology, but after the apology he's forcing to implement the deal. I can only think he's not listening at all."
South Korea imposed the ban five years ago after an outbreak of mad cow disease. But the ban was lifted last month after US lawmakers threatened to withhold a pending trade deal.
Mandela Criticizes Mugabe on Political Crisis
Former South African President Nelson Mandela has ended a public silence on the crisis in Zimbabwe. On Wednesday, Mandela criticized Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe for what he called a "tragic failure of leadership."
Nelson Mandela: "Nearer to home, we had seen the outbreak of violence against fellow Africans in our own country and the tragic failure of leadership in our
neighboring Zimbabwe."
Mandela was speaking in London at a dinner ahead of his ninetieth birthday next month. Mugabe has come under widespread criticism for refusing to cancel a runoff election scheduled for Friday. Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai won the first round of elections in March but withdrew from the runoff late last week. He has sought refuge in the Dutch embassy in Harare out of what he says is concern for his life. On Wednesday, Tsvangirai said Mugabe has declared a war.
Morgan Tsvangirai: "Well, where does this leave the country? At a dead end. Let me say that it's not an election. If he goes into a process of an election [inaudible], it's not an election. That's what we keep on saying, that this is not an election. It is war. Mugabe has declared war, and we don't want to be part of it."
Cuba Approves Lung Cancer Vaccine
In Cuba, health officials have approved what's believed to be the world's first registered vaccine for lung cancer. Doctors say the treatment, CimaVax EGF, can extend survival rates by an average four to five months, and in some cases longer. The vaccine is said to have few side effects because it attacks only cancer cells.
US Mayors Call for Shunning Bottled Water
Back in the United States, the US Conference of Mayors has approved a resolution calling for the phasing out of bottled water. The measure calls on cities to cancel bottled-water contracts and redirect taxpayer dollars to other resources. Each day an estimated 60 million plastic water bottles are thrown away. Most are not recycled. The Pacific Institute has estimated 20 million barrels of oil are used each year to make the plastic for water bottles.
Countrywide Shareholders Approve Bank of America Deal
In business news, shareholders at the mortgage lender Countrywide Financial have approved a takeover offer from Bank of America. Countrywide has been at the center of the subprime loan crisis. It's currently under investigation for giving misleading information on its financial condition in the company's security filings. The $3 billion deal comes at just one-tenth of Countrywide's share price last year. Analysts say American taxpayers could ultimately end up footing the bill if Bank of America uses tax breaks to pay for the purchase.
Intelligence Estimate Warns on Global Warming
In environmental news, a new high-level US intelligence review has concluded global warming will endanger US operations abroad. In a new report, the National Intelligence Council says the effects of climate change have the "potential to seriously affect US national security interests."
Florida, Sugar Corp. Reach Everglades Deal
And in Florida, state officials have reached a deal to purchase large swaths of land in the Everglades. Under the agreement, Florida will pay the US Sugar Corporation $1.7 billion for 300 square miles of land.

By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan–President Obama and the Republicans in Congress are united on so-called free-trade agreements, which would increase corporate power and reduce the power of people to govern themselves democratically. This has put the president at loggerheads with his strongest congressional allies who oppose the Trans-Pacific Partnership, one of the most far-reaching trade agreements in history.

I got my crankandstein all set up and did a test run on some 2-row. How does it look? I want to be sure the gap is good before I run 10 lbs.
By the way, here's how i mounted the 5 gallon water bottle on for a hopper. I used a piece of the plastic from the bottom of the jug to make a slide valve so that i can fill the hopper, start the drill, then release the grain. I just think it's nice to have the roller moving at speed before grain can bind it up.
Welcome to BrewHardware.com. I love you.New 100% Stainless Steel Heating Elements are IN! ULWD 5500w Ripple, 2000w, 1500w, etcChugger Pumps, Pump Kits, Camlocks, Sightglasses, Clear USA made Silicone Tubing, RIMS, Electric Install Parts, etc.
Looks just about right to me.
I'm so psyched.. smelling the two row as it got pummeled almost brought a tear to my eye...sniff. Damn I'm sick.
Looks perfect!
Bobby...I took this pic a while back for someone else who asked...I get 80% eff. with this:
A little more flour than you have there---but yours looks good.
Looks like beer-to-be................................That's a great crush!!!
I am far from an expert, but it looks a bit coarse. I'd think it to be a good starting point that you could go finer to possibly improve your efficiency in subsequent batches.
I envy you fellas with mills. Looks like a nice setup!
Maybe I'll crank in on the adjustment a hair. I'm a little worried about a stuck sparge. Wouldn't be a good first AG experience.
Your crush looks very similar to mine.
Comparing your crush to Dude's, and rating them on a scale of 1 - 10; if yours is a 10(coarse), and Dudes is a 1 (fine), then mine would be about 8 or 9. (very nearly as coarse as yours).
P.S. I don't have the luxury of adjusting my crush.
Ain't that Crankenstein a sweet little machine??? Grinding the grain has become one of the things I look forward to most; in fact, I'm trying to get a buddy of mine to start buying whole grains just so I can grind them for him!
I've dialed mine in a little finer than what you're getting, but I'm not sure it's any better.... I do gett really good efficiencies now.

Brennan Confirmed To Head CIA
The U.S. Senate voted Thursday to confirm John Brennan, as the new Director of the CIA, though it is a day later than expected. The vote was 63 to 34.
FOX News Radio's Jared Halpern reports from Capitol Hill:
Audio clip:
The vote, long delayed by critics on both sides of the political aisle, demanding to know if the administration has the authority to use armed drones to strike U.S. citizens on U.S. soil. The answer from the White House is no.
(Paul) "And I think that Americans should see this battle that we've had in the last 24 hours as something that's good for the country."
Kentucky Republican Rand Paul a day after leading a near 13 hour filibuster to block the vote. A bipartisan majority confirming Brennan to become the next CIA chief.
On Capitol Hill, Jared Halpern, FOX News Radio.

Bland and expensivePosted on 11 / 25 / 2014
We wanted to love this beautiful restaurant so very much. It seats only a handful of tables and faces large glass windows into the production area of the bakery. Although they do offer vegan options, which we appreciate, the offerings we very bland. We ordered the red and green chile breakfast burrito, chilaquiles, all made with organic tofu and breakfast potatoes. The chile was bland, tofu flavorless and not seasoned at all, the food was barely warm. They do have soy milk for coffee drinks, no baked goods that are vegan at all. The prices did not match the quality of what we were served. The staff is helpful and friendly and guided us to the vegan options. In a warehouse district, a bit challenging to find. There are better options for breakfast in Santa Fe.

We are holding a school-wide contest to see which homerooms can collect the most tabs. The contest will be running through the end of May. Winners will receive their choice of a pizza, ice cream, or water ice party. Last year, we collected 21 cases of poptabs, and this year we are on target to collect even more!
PSSA Dates
PSSAs will be held April 13 through April 24, 2015.

| The Schiffman Lab: Biopolymer Materials for Biomedical & Environmental Applications
We synthesize materials for a variety of biomedical and environmental applications. We focus on engineering natural polymers (biopolymers) and plant-derived agents because they offer us a platform of intrinsic properties. For example, our nanoparticles, fiber mats, ultra-thin films, and hydrogels are naturally are antimicrobial, chelate metal ions, or inhibit corrosion. Establishing structure-to-function relationships of our new materials, as well as the investigating the interface between materials and microbes are of particular interest to us. Specific materials of interest include drug delivery nanoparticles, anti-biofilm/anti-corrosion thin-film coatings, platforms for pathogenic microbial detection, wound healing nanofiber scaffolds, as well as fouling-resistant membranes for water purification. Our research is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing influences from chemical engineering, materials science, and environmental engineering.

i haven't been feeling very inspired lately. whenever i try to draw, i just draw a blank (no *bad* pun intended) or i end up drawing the same crap over and over. so i ask you, where do you get your ideas and inspiration?

Just practice stuff like anatomy or if you're painting, setup your own simple still life and study from that. IMHO u dont really need a big inspiration unless you're planning on doing a serious piece so just STUDY and PRACTICE! I'm not a professional so I dont feel that Im at that level where I can execute a good work of art so I spend my time preparing for that.

Just scribble on a page. Make random shapes and sometimes you'll see shapes start to form and get inspired. And other times you'll see nothing, but at least it's better than staring at a blank sheet.

you've got to find inspiration wherever you can.
a lot of mine comes from the books i read, the music i listen to, and just plain old life. it's all out there, you just have to go grab it.
Hey dog. . . . did you see the size of that chicken?!
March 16th, 2005 #5
just look at this. and pray.
March 17th, 2005 #6
I listen to a lot of music - film scores especially, but also some hardcore, rock-type stuff and, um, techno
Also I think watching movies helps too (at least, for me hehe), it just depends on how you feel. As the others have said, look at some art books and practice, or let your pencil/pen/stylus/whatever roam the page.

White House to Release FY'16 Budget Request on Time
- January 7, 2015
- comments: 0
For the first time in five years, the Obama administration will release its budget proposal for the upcoming year by the statutory deadline, the first Monday in February. "We look forward to working with Congress on returning to regular order in the annual budget process," Emily Cain, a spokeswoman for the Office of Management and Budget, said in a statement on Wednesday. The administration's pledge to meet this year's Feb. 2 deadline would allow appropriators more time to review the FY 2016 budget request and hold hearings ahead of Congress' April 15 deadline for completing a joint budget resolution, reported CQ. The move also would allow lawmakers to begin crafting individual spending measures sooner and help Republicans fulfill their promise to pass the 12 spending bills through regular order …

Great Condo
This is a great condo easily fitting 8 people. The living area is spacious for a large group. The kitchen is sufficiently stocked for cooking. The only downside is no barbecue, or pool, but these things weren't really missed. Otherwise great place to stay and I would stay here again.

More On Legal & Compliancefrom The Advisor's Professional Library
- Where Are We Headed? The ultimate compliance goal is to help ensure that everyone associated with an advisory firm acts ethically at all times. Advisors and RIAs should do the right thing, even when regulators are not looking over their shoulders.
- Dealings With Qualified Clients and Accredited Investors Depending upon an RIAs business model and investment strategies, it may be important to identify "qualified clients" and "accredited investors." The Dodd-Frank Act authorized the SEC to change which clients are defined by those terms.
The debate about whether fair value, or mark-to-market accounting, is the best way for companies to value their assets ensued October 29 during the SEC's roundtable discussion on the topic.
"Fair value accounting is the best method to provide transparency" to investors, argued Vin Colman, a partner with PricewaterhouseCoopers, during the panel. Any changes to mark-to-market accounting, he said, "would cause investors to lose confidence." Scott Evans executive VP, asset management and CEO of two TIAA-CREF advisory units--like many others on the panel--agreed with Colman that "public markets are best served" by fair value accounting. While Evans, like others, conceded, however that the accounting method is "not perfect" and needs review, he said fair value is not one of the causes of the market crisis. Bill Isaac, former chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC), disagreed, stating that he believed fair value accounting has contributed to the market upheaval. "Mark to market can only be applied to a small portion of the balance sheet," Isaac said, only the assets, not the liabilities. This, he said, "creates a false impression" about a bank's asset status. "Banks will have a mismatch between assets and liabilities."
The SEC is attempting to get feedback on mark-to-market accounting because the Emergency Economic Stabilzation Act of Act 2008 (EESA) requires the Commission to conduct a study of "mark-to-market" accounting applicable to financial institutions, including depositary institutions, and to submit a report to Congress with the findings by January 2, 2009. The SEC will hold its next roundtable on the accounting method on November 21.
According to Reuters, Rep. Barney Frank (D-Massachusetts) chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, told business leaders in Boston that while he doesn't want to do away with mark-to-market accounting, he is considering "modifications," and he wants to make it easier for firms to use the accounting method during the financial crisis.
