IPP Executive Chairman Dr Reginald Mengi on Friday unveiled fundamental principles and secrets for successful business and social lives for young men and women, placing adherence to ethics and moral standards on top of key success-drivers.
Dr Mengi, one of globally-recognised business figures, made the revelation as he officially opened the "Career Day" which was organised by the Moshi University College of Cooperative and Business Studies (MUCCoBS).
The forum brought together professionals, representatives from corporate companies including banks, MUCCoBS students and members of academic staff who met to digest issues related to professional skills, knowledge and their connection to the country's dynamic labour markets.
In remarks he said academic certificates were not the only way to successful life, stating that they need to be combined with other fundamental principles. "Combination of educational certificates and other key principles would yield positive results…enabling young men and women to secure good jobs and excel in business and other social lives," said Dr Mengi, in a lecturer-like opening statement.
He said: "Adherence to ethics and moral standards" top the list of key fundamental principles, appealing to students of higher learning to avoid corruption and other immoral practices aimed at generating quick-money."
"You should not be tempted to make quick money by involving yourself in corruption and related acts," noted the IPP Executive Chairman, adding: "This is my message to all of you who would go out looking for jobs…you should not search for jobs in order to get quick-money." He said he was not opposed to high-paying jobs from which graduates can earn a lot of money through lawful and transparent channels. "But my main concern is attitude of over-ambitious young graduates who are always looking for jobs where they could generate big money through the back-door…I have no problem with lawful money."
Dr Mengi, winner of prestigious international awards--Business for Peace and UN Awards -- said there was "a bleak future" for young men and women who are hunting for jobs to generate quick money through 'ungodly ways'…you cannot go far."
The IPP chief also spoke of competence, confidence, commitment, values, knowing destination, personal appearance and well-written application letter as basic fundamentals that could enable young graduates to secure good jobs and subsequently excel in business and social lives. "Your application letter for jobs you apply must be well written…the best letter you have written in your life…to the extent the prospective employer could really see academic competence of the applicant in that letter," he said.
Physical appearance also matters, he said. "The way you walk, the way you prepare your hair, the way you dress…you need to be smart and neat…in fact, the first impression is very important in the course of seeking for jobs."
In an interview for a certain job, he added, graduates need to demonstrate competence in verbal communication, saying: "Employer wants to see how you can deliver through verbal communication…A's and distinctions seen in your academic certificates must be reflected in the verbal communication during the interview."
Confidence and knowing destinations are major forces which could help prospective and educated entrepreneurs perform better. "You need to understand your destination…but has to be something big, but start small.
I also passed through the same channel, raised in a mud hut, where I slept with goats, cattle but I had confidence and I knew my destination," he observed.
Impressed by unique competence, composure, and confidence and presentation style, demonstrated by MUCCoBS student, Catherine Paul Akyoo, who delivered a presentation on issues around community, economic development at the forum, the IPP Executive Chairman appointed her IPP Officer-in charge of Community Development.
"Before making my official comments, let me talk something out of the main subject….out of all the students who made presentations some few minutes ago, I was really impressed by one presentation …and this is Catherine Akyoo; she demonstrated unique talent…so, I would like to publicly appoint her as an Officer In charge of Community Development desk at IPP," said Dr Mengi, in an on-the-spot appointment which puzzled the gathering and provoked cheers and applauds from the university community.
"Her appointment starts effectively from January next year…" he noted. Catherine is a third-year student, pursuing Bachelor of Arts in Community Economic Development at MUCCoBS.
For his part, MUCCoBS Principal, Prof. Faustine Bee, said developments and changes in Tanzania cannot be brought about by foreigners, but rather "it is us Tanzanians who are supposed to bring desired changes…if we rely on foreigners to bring changes, we will continue to be beggars."
In a brief remark, Catherine said: "We have potential human resources in the country…we need to exhaustively utilise these potentials."

Njombe district commissioner Sara Dumba has challenged the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) to find way of managing waste from electronic products.
She made the call in a speech read on her behalf by acting district commissioner Bartazar Kessy when opening a seminar on Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) for Manyunyu Girls Secondary School students in the district as part of celebrations to mark World Communications Day.
She said that used electronic goods contain chemicals which are harzardous to the environment and living organisms.
Dumba said living organisms, especially human beings, upon coming into contact with the chemicals are affected -- both in the short and long term.
"Sometimes one does not have to touch or swallow them. A product may be badly discarded and if vegetables grow near it, the chemicals may be taken up by the vegetables, thus affecting humans who it them," she argued.
The DC commended TCRA for mobilising the people to use ICT, saying this will help push forward development in the country.
She said the day's theme: 'Women and girls in using Information, Communication and Technology,' has come at the right time given the fact that girls do not think that they could also study science subjects.
"Women are the pillars of their families and societies, but most do not get the opportunity to develop themselves in technology, especially because of the misconception that science studies are not for women," said Dumba.
Earlier, acting TCRA Southern Highlands zonal manager Asajile John Mwakisisile said the communication sector was growing at a fast pace in the country, particularly through the mobile phone technology, TV broadcasts, radio and the internet.
The acting zonal manager said TCRA has been having a huge task of coordinating and controlling communications so that consumers would receive quality services at an affordable cost.
He said, however, that due to technological changes Tanzania should join other countries in the world and move into the digital form of broadcasting TV and radio programmes from the current analogue format.
He said by December 31, this year, all countries in East Africa would switch to the digital format as they switch off the analogue systems, and therefore it is imperative that all stakeholders should prepare for the change.
During the celebrations, TCRA provided training to secondary school students at the end of which questions were asked to evaluate whether they understood what they learned and awards were given to those who did best.
Among presents given included laptops, calculators, T-shirts and cash money to the tune of 20,000/- for each question that was correctly answered.
World Communications Day is normally celebrated on May 17, and this year the celebrations were hosted at the national level by the Southern Highlands Zone.

Independent Institute Senior Vice President Mary L. G. Theroux testified on "Childhood Poverty, Government Failures, and the Need for Economic Liberty", before the California State Senate's Budget Subcommittee on Health and Human Services, at the request of State Senator Jeff Stone. The witnesses spoke about California's Maximum Family Grant rule for families on welfare. The rule caps grants and does not increase grant money to mothers on welfare when they have more children. Mary testified about the causes of poverty and of the need for other, non-government options for poor families. She introduced ideas for helping the poor through private resources and organizations, instead of government agencies where families and women often find themselves trapped in a cycle of poverty.

Angie's Answers
An itemized list / cost breakdown, more often than not is used against the contractor when it is shared with other builders who will then beat it.
Good contractors use good people, and good people cost more. Just the cost of having the appropriate insurance / bond can be the difference between winning a job or losing it ot a 'lower bid'.
It is the rule of three; there is Good, Cheap and Fast. You can have any two: Good and Cheap, won't be Fast; Good and Fast, won't be Cheap; Cheap and Fast, won't be Good!
When comparing bids, it isn't the cheapest or the 'nicest' person you should select. You should understand why there is a large price difference (it shows there are gaps in your design program or what you have asked for specifically, which means there may be arguments later). If most of the bids are in line, and one is way high or way low, you want to know why before dismissing or selecting them.
A price-only decision almost always costs more in the long run.
Good luck!
No. Heck no. Here's a good example. We very recently needed to find someone to install about 500 square feet of exotic wood flooring (we already have the materials). We contacted about 12-15 top-rated Angieslist contractors. Out of the few who did get back to us, we got 5 quotes, 2 of them were literally just over the phone. They "didn't feel it would be necessary to even see the space".
Here were the bids:
$4000 (sight unseen), $2800 (sight unseen), $2500, $1500, $1450
We didn't "share our budget for this". Why would we? We asked them to bid the job. That's it. All of them should be well-qualified and they are all highly rated. We were interested in how THEY value their time/resources - for an apples/apples job.
Do you still think that you should tell them about your budget? Your choice. From my standpoint it isn't their business. I'm asking them to bid on a project. Invariably I'll get some very high bids, medium bids and a few more reasonable ones - ALL from "highly rated contractors".
Herlonginc's answer stated that it is not the contractor's job to pay for materials and labor to do the job. I say baloney - a reputable, established contractor has the funds (or a business operations line of credit) to "carry" the job between interim or partial payments, each of which should be keyed to completion of distinct easily measured mileposts in the job, and for a homeowner I would say should be in not more than 20% increments for jobs exceeding a week or so. For shorter jobs, then an initial payment, 50% completion, and completion would be normal. His cost of carry funds is part of his cost of doing business, and is figured as part of his overhead.Bear in mind when he is buying materials and paying labor, his materials he typically pays for on a 10-30 day invoice, and his labor typically a week or two after they work, so he is not really "fronting" that much money if you are giving him weekly or biweekly interim payments, on a typical residential job.
If he does not have the funds to buy materials (excepting possibly deposit on special-order or luxury items, which still typically are 10-30 day invoiceable to him) and hire personnel then he is a fly-by-night operation, and he should not be bidding that size job. You should never (other than MAYBE an earnest deposit of not more than the LESSER of 10% or $5000) let the payments get ahead of the approved/inspected work progress - typically payment should be 10-20% BEHIND the progress, with at least 10% retained at the effective end of work until final inspections and completion of the final "punchlist".
That promotes rapid continuation of the work, discourages the all-too common nightmare of contractors taking on more work than they can handle so they leave your job for weeks or months to go work on someone else's job (frequently to start that someone else's new job so he can get the job), and does not leave you out a tremendous amount of cash if he does not finish and you have to hire another contractor to finish the job. Remember, if you have to hire a new contractor to finish the job, he will charge you a lot more than the original bid to finish someone else's unfinished mess.
This may seem cynical, but having started in the construction business about 50 years ago and seeing the shenanigans that a lot of contractors pull you cannot be too safe. You have to remember contractors are like any other people - I would say maybe 10% are outright crooks, another 25% or so will pull a fast one or overcharge if the opportunity presents itself, maybe 30% will do the work but not any better than they are forced to, about 25% are good conscientious reputable workmen, and the last 10% or so are really spectacular - conscientious, fair, and efficient craftsmen. This top 35% are the only ones you should have bidding in the first place. Therefore, only get bids from long-term reputable firms (so you shake out the marginal short-timers with less experience and also generally less ability to finish the job on budget and schedule), only those that have good RECENT references, and preferably with excellent word-of-mouth recommendation from people you know and trust. That way, you are starting right off with the cream of the crop, so hopefully whichever one bids low should be a good choice.
NEVER start with bids, then check the references of the low bidder - why even consider a vendor or contractor who you do not have faith in from the start ? Get references and short-list you possibles BEFORE you ask for bids.
Low bids - that is another matter - commonly the low bidder is NOT who you want, especially if he is significantly lower than several others, which might mean he is desperate for work, made a math error, or did not correctly figure the entire scope of work. You want a reasonable bid with someone you connect with and trust - that is worth a lot more in the success of the job than the absolute lowest bid.
Next photograph the work you feel is sub-par. If work has been corrected, photograph it now to have a record of its condition. If you have any "original" or "before work began" pictures get those together, too.
If you do have written contract, see what it says about warranties, complaints, failure to finish / comply, etc. Holding the money may end up with the contractor taking YOU to court for the funds - you cannot just hold the money. You need to document in writing what is wrong, what you expect to happen (be specific) and when it should happen by. A good contract will explain if and how money can be held, how the arbitration or complaint is filed, etc.
You should also invite another contractor to come in and bid the work to finish the job. They can confirm the quality of the work and give you a price to fix / finish the job. This gives you justification for holding the funds and an option to finish the job.
If the contractor is not willing to fix the work or listen to direction, do not allow them back in the house. A judge will ask you why you let them continue to do work if you found it unacceptable. Take back the key or access to the building - you can also attempt holding any materials or tools as collateral if the cost of repair is higher than the amount owed. Again, document what you are holding, its estimated value (google or ebay search), etc.
Finally, in writing you should fire the contractor and state the exact reason(s). Document everything; if it is done in person after they leave make notes of what was said, agreed upon and disputed. If you are satisfied that what you have paid is fair compensation for the work done, make sure this is noted in the letter firing the contractor. If you feel money is owed, you will need to file a small claim in your local court. Include the documentation you made, notes, letters, etc. when you file your claim so the judge will have a copy of everything. Don't forget to contact the BBB.
Do not wait for the court date; go ahead and hire the other contractor and have the work completed. Bring this invoice to court with you (file it before the court date if you can). Bring photos of the finished work (again, file it with the court before the date if possible). You must show what good quality work looks like vs the poor quality work.
Otherwise it will be a your word against the contractor and you will most likely lose, (the contract is a promise to pay for work) or even if you "win" you will most likely split the difference between the argued amount of money. Also be prepared for the contractor to file a small court claim against you. Same process as above, except now you will respond to the summons with a copy of your stuff to defend your reason for holding funds instead of asking for money back.
Good luck!

The Discraft Elite Z NUKE SS is a maximum distance driver with a stability of 1.0. The moderately overstable disc delivers virtually effortless distance for newer players with lower arm speed. The Nuke SS gives developing players the means to get the distance of more advanced throwers without needing years of experience. It is super fast and more understable than the Nuke which allows more distance for newer players. Great for very long turnovers at medium speed, or throw your longest rollers ever at high speed!
Z plastic provides the truest flights as ratings are based on Z models. It is the most durable, longest lasting, slowest to season and makes a disc more overstable than D and X models.
About Color and Availability - Pictured above are some available Elite Z colors. This model may not be available in all of these colors. Likewise, each weight range may not be available in all colors. Therefore we ask you to list and prioritize your color preferences and to give us guidance if the color or weight range you want happens to not be available.

Thak you for joining stonecontact service. Following information will help you do
better bussiness on stonecontact and more effect your goldmembership position.
To help you improve your experience of communicating with buyers, here are some
practical tips:
1.--After being our gold member or sponsor,you should send your product pictures
as many as you can, because in this way your products will display at the top of
the product list in stonecontact and these products will be found by visitors easily
and the most important thing is your product will get a link in search engines (Google,
Yahoo) and will possible get some request directly from the buyers.
* your product pictures must be clear, with detailed information and correct names(some
of our gold member send their product with their own Item Numbers, this kind products
can not get a link in search engines)
2.-- Be issue-focused. Contact the buyers only when you can provide the products
they need. Don't send advertisement email to the buyers, such as the emails of introducing
your company and services. These kinds of emails may be filtered as spam or deleted
by the receiver without reading. Some of our gold members send same message to the
buyers all time and they do not care what the buyers are asking for, this kind emails
will be deleted for sure by the buyers without being read because they rececive
so many this kind email from suppliers everyday, they do not want to receive it
from our gold mebers. In this reason some of buyers want to remove their offers.
3.-- Be brief and to the point. Write one page with a short opening. Provide more
details about your products that the buyers need (payment, pictures, packaging,
etc) and your messsage should be short.
4.-- Be informative: provide your contact details (email, phone, address), which
would enhance your communication with buyers.
5.--For the buying Requests specifying supplier location, please don't contact them
if you are not belong to that location. Because their offers usually very small
and most of them are not company but just a single customer.
6.-- Completive price. A competitive price would be much more attractive. You may
add some seasonings to your quotation by giving a short introduction of your service
range, quality assurance, experience, etc. Do not forget, you are not a"single gold
member" in stonecontact.
7.-- Try multiple contact methods phone, fax, Email, etc.
8.-- Be patient. It always takes your little patience to get the reply. Constantly
work on improving communication skills.
9.-- Keep record on buying Requests contacted. Keep in touch with those never-replied
buying Requests.
10.--Login to our platform often. Ask for contacting skills from veterans.
11.--Any problem, any question please do not hesitate contact with our customer
service by phone, by email, skype, MSN, QQ(In China only). We will try to solve
your problem as soon as possible and will give you more information about services.

What Do Roots Do? by Kathleen V. Kudlinski and illustrated by David Schuppert is a factual, rhyming picture book which digs into the wonders of roots and the amazing things they do for trees, flowers, and all kinds of plants. Take a peek underground to see how different plants have different roots - cactus roots run out to the sides, while some tree roots go deep, deep down. Discover the path a raindrop takes right through a plant, and find out which roots we might be eating for dinner! At last, a celebration of those unsung heroes of plants: roots! 8 x 11", softcover, 24 pages.
Kathleen Kudlinski's first love was nature. She taught science in elementary school and is now the author of many nature books. She lives beside a deep, wild lake in Guilford, Connecticut.
David Schuppert is an accomplished artist and enjoys illustrating children's books. He lives in Taylors, South Carolina. The illustrations he shares in this book are magnificent and bring the "roots" to life for us and our children.

The Latitude 64 Pure - Zero Soft is a stable putter and approach golf disc featuring a comfortable grip and slightly deeper rim. It will hold the line given to it on approach shots. The Pure is the second disc co-designed by Jesper Lundmark who needed a disc with a deeper rim so he designed the Pure.
Speed 3, Glide 3, Turn -1, Fade 1
Available in Zero Hard and Soft
A little history of the plastics:
In 2012, Latitude 64 released a 2nd version of "DX" type plastic. They tested materials on Pure, Vision and Bolt ;discs which have neutral flight characteristics. Their impression of this LE2 plastic was that it was a bit grippier right away without the production slickness found at first in the LE1 discs.
May 2012 update - The LE2 Test Run had been selected as the new Latitude 64 Eze Line which replaced the Zero Line as Latitude 64 wanted to take this material into discs other than just putters. Zero Line plastic was not possible to use in drivers and midranges which is why they tested alternatives to it. Eze Line was first released in putters. It was more durable than the Zero line and was able to be produced in several degrees of stiffness. Latitude 64 started out with a stiff version when they released the Mercy in this material. Soft Eze was to be available in summer 2012.
By fall 2012, due to the fact that they were not happy with results, they put the Eze on hold and brought premium putters back in the Zero Line.

The Management of Air Tanzania Company Limited (ATCL) plans to bring into the country a second plane in less than a month for Lusaka- Zambia, Harare-Zimbabwe and Johannesburg-South Africa flights, the company's Acting Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer has said.
Paul Chizi revealed this at Mwanza Airport yesterday during the official launch of the Dar es Salaam-Kilimanjaro-Mwanza flights of the newly leased plane, Boeing 737-500.
"We are expecting to bring in another plane that will be serving on long routes, and if possible we shall widen the passes to Lagos-Nigeria, and Dubai after the business has stabilized," said Chizi who didn't want to state the company and the country from which they will lease the next plane.
Earlier, after landing at Mwanza Airport, Chizi urged Tanzanians to be patriotic by supporting ATCL. "We need the support of Tanzanians. You cannot be supporting other companies while your own dies. So it is my hope they have seen our efforts and we are pledging to do our best."
The CEO said that based on a five-year strategic plan, the company will be able to deliver improved quality services and lease more planes or buy its own planes to serve the nation's best interests.
Regarding Boeing 737-500, Chizi said it will be in use for six leased months. Thereafter they will continue leasing six months renewably until the company buys its own plane.
Explaining his experience on the plane's maiden flight yesterday Stephen Ihema, a retired Judge of the High Court, said he was happy to have boarded it and that it was a sign that ATCL was now revising the services that had stopped for a long time.
The retired judge advised that ATCL must have a management that is aware of aviation business. "We hope they will perform to the expectations of majority of Tanzanians.
"But good enough we've a CEO who has experience in the industry and has done well in making sure that the company resumes its work," he noted.
He called on the government to give strong support to the company to enable it to generate enough income to operate competitively. "We need government support... it is not enough to depend on one plane…must work to ensure there are more planes," he stressed.
For his part, the PPF Pension Fund Zonal Manager Meshach Bandawe advised government institutions to use ATCL planes, saying: "We are sure if all government officials and those working in public departments start using this plane, all that money will contribute to the proper functioning of the company."
The new plane flew from Dar es Salaam to Mwanza via KIA and then back to Dar es Salaam. There will be two flights a day on the route.
The 108-seater Boeing 737-500 arrived in Dar es Salaam a week ago to operate Dar-Mwanza-Kilimanjaro route before embarking on international flights.
Speaking shortly after the arrival of the plane leased from Aero Vista Dubai, Chizi said ATCL would resume flights within a one week period. "Tanzanians should expect the best services that they have missed for some time.
"Our services are real and customer centered. Time is our main principle so this time we expect to give timely but affordable services," he said.
Chizi said the company will be entering joint ventures with international flight carriers in a bid to expand its foot print but stressed that the initiative will be on a win-win situation.
He added that the company's plane undergoing repair at Terminal One would be ready in the next six weeks and help boost ATCL service delivery.

|TRON: Uprising
Pavel is a supporting character in TRON: Uprising voiced by Paul Reubens. He is General Tesler's second-in-command and holds the same rank as Paige, whom he considers his rival for Tesler's favor.
Pavel, like Paige, was present at Tesler's side during the takeover of Argon City. Things were going fine until the young renegade Beck rebelled against Clu's rule and destroyed a new statue of the ruler to start his revolution. Tesler ordered Pavel and four recognizers to begin searching the Outlands for the fugitive, although their search turned up nothing.
Later, when Beck and another program named Cutler were fighting in the Games and defeating all enemies, General Tesler said they were "too good". Pavel then suggested, in a manner antagonistic to Paige, that the two programs be pitted against each other in a fight to the death. Cutler then forfeited and Tesler, at Paige's suggestion, ordered Beck to be let free and Cutler transported to Argon Square where he would be derezzed. Pavel noticed something wrong when the recognizer Cutler was being held in began to change directions; Beck, disguised as Tron, had taken control of it and was saving Cutler. Livid and afraid of losing Tesler's favor, Pavel shrieked at the Light Copters to shoot the Recognizer down, but Cutler, with the help of Beck, escaped anyway. Paige then chided him, saying, "Looks like I have to clean up your mess...again." Pavel also received a scowl from Tesler.
Later, Tesler's lieutenant had a chance to redeem himself following Paige's failure to bring in Beck and Cutler, who were now on Light Boats. Pavel boarded the escapees' Light Boat but was kicked off almost immediately, at which point he floated in the water, waiting to be picked up by Tesler in his Light Boat.
When Paige, following a Light Jet battle with the Renegade, was marooned on a destabilized, derezzing island, Pavel deliberately abandoned her there and led the rest of the jets away. Tesler himself later piloted a Light Copter to the island to rescue her, scolding Pavel for underestimating her ability to survive; but when Pavel expressed relief at seeing her safe, she replied cuttingly that she doubted his sincerity.
Following the theft of an experimental weapon, and a subsequent attack against Tesler himself, Pavel hatched a plan to use innocent programs as hostages in order to draw out the renegade. He then went to Able's garage and proclaimed that the garage and everyone in it belonged to the government. Beck infiltrated the garage and went into a laser welder to destroy the weapon but Pavel sneaked in and stole it before it was destroyed. Docking it on his disc, he then engaged the renegade in combat, reveling in the power that it granted him. Beck ultimately gained the upper hand and removed the weapon, which he then sliced in half with the malfunctioning laser. Pavel returned to Tesler defeated, but when he returned to his office and reflected on the severed half of the weapon he was shocked and overjoyed to see it repair itself.
When Tesler attempted to bribe the citizens of Argon into turning the Renegade in, Pavel convinced two other programs, Link and Gorn, to help him frame Hopper, planting evidence in his disc to "prove" that he was the Renegade. When Paige discovered evidence of Hopper's innocence, she accused Pavel of trying to undermine Tesler's reputation in the hopes that Clu would promote him to Tesler's position. Pavel scoffingly denied it. Hopper was later proven innocent when the Renegade showed up in person to save him from execution, but Tesler did not appear to suspect Pavel of cooking up the deception deliberately, and ordered both him and Paige to never mention the incident again.
Personality and traits
Pavel is sycophantic and cold. Unlike Paige and more like General Tesler, he has no qualms about derezzing programs or destroying their futures. Pavel considers himself better than Paige even though they hold the same rank. Pavel also is willing to abandon Paige to secure his position, but pretends to be happy when Paige survives. Pavel has shown himself to revel in the suffering of others, by ruining their lives or undermining Paige. Pavel is also willing to ultimately betray his allies like Gorn to ensure he succeeds and make sure no one knows of his own treachery against Tesler. He appears desperate to please Tesler, which results in missteps and a bitter rivalry with Paige as they each try to undercut one another in their superior's eyes. In truth, Pavel secretly covets Tesler's position, and sees both Tesler and Paige as obstacles standing in his way. Pavel has proven himself to be a scheming mastermind albeit without the renegade's interference as he was able to convince Tesler twice of a programs treachery by framing them like Hooper and Paige.
- Pavel serves a similar role to Tesler as Jarvis did to Clu and he, much like Jarvis, bungles up very often. Unlike Jarvis, though, Pavel secretly despises his superior and actively plots to undermine him.

Product Technologies:
- Lifetime Warranty: As an American company, American Standard faucets are built tough. Their products live longer in one place than most people do. Drip-free ceramic disc valves, high-grade lead-free brass alloys, and stainless steel drain cables name just a few of the features which make American Standard bathroom faucets the industry's longest lasting. To back this up, all American Standard faucets are covered under a lifetime warranty.
- Indestructible Finishes: Through employing only the best finishing practices, such as physical vapor deposition, American Standard faucet finishes are some of the strongest in the industry. When the finish is actually incorporated into the faucet, rather than a coating on the outside, the result is a flawless appearance that eliminates tarnishing, pitting, and peeling while hiding scratches. For this reason, American Standard faucet finishes are fully covered under the lifetime warranty.
- Speed Connect System: Assembling, connecting, and adjusting the pop-up drain within the tight space of a vanity cabinet is undeniably the most difficult task when installing a bathroom faucet. Not so with American Standard, though. Each bathroom faucet is supplied with their patented Speed Connect Drains, which simply plug into the faucet and drain. No wrenches, special tools or plumber's putty are needed. You also won't need to apply torque to seal the drain or to fuss with the lift rod height. With Speed Connect Drains, bathroom faucet installs take minutes, not hours.
- Water Conscious: As the 2012 EPA WaterSense partner of the year, American Standard faucets are acclaimed for saving water without sacrificing performance. Through the use of the latest pressure compensating aerators, American Standard faucets save 32% more water than other brands/models. This means that their faucets pay for themselves throughout the life of their use. They also splash less, too.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Declaring "our journey is not complete," President Barack Obama took the oath of office for his second term before a crowd of hundreds of thousands Monday, urging the nation to set an unwavering course toward prosperity and freedom for all its citizens and protect the social safety net that has sheltered the poor, elderly and needy.
"Our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it," Obama said in his relatively brief, 18-minute address. "We believe that America's prosperity must rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising middle class," he added, echoing his calls from the presidential campaign that catapulted him to re-election.
The president declared that a decade of war is ending, as is the economic recession that consumed much of his first term.
The inaugural fanfare spread across the capital Monday, including a traditional lunch with lawmakers on Capitol Hill. Before departing the Capitol, Obama paused in the Rotunda in front of a bust of Martin Luther King Jr., the slain civil rights leader whose birthday holiday coincided with the inaugural festivities.
From the Capitol, the president and first lady Michelle Obama climbed into the black armored limousine that ferried them past cheering crowds lining Pennsylvania Avenue for the inaugural parade. Surrounded by Secret Service agents, the Obamas stepped out of the limousine and walked the parade route for about eight minutes, holding hands and waving to the exuberant crowds.
Before diving into the afternoon celebrations, Obama previewed an ambitious second-term agenda, devoting several sentences in his address to the threat of global climate change and saying that failure to confront it "would betray our children and future generations." Obama's focus on climate change was notable given that he barely dealt with the issue in his first term.
In an era of looming budget cuts, he said the nation has a commitment to costly programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. "These things do not sap our initiative, they strengthen us," he said.
Sandwiched between the bruising presidential campaign and relentless fiscal fights, Monday's inaugural celebrations marked a brief respite from the partisan gridlock that has consumed the past two years. Perhaps seeking a fresh start, Obama invited several lawmakers to the White House for coffee before his speech, including the Republican leaders with whom he has frequently been at odds.
Among then was the Senate's top Republican, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. In a statement following Obama's swearing-in, McConnell said the president's second term represents "a fresh start when it comes to dealing with the great challenges of our day."
Looking ahead to those challenges, Obama implored Congress to find common ground over the next four years. And seeking to build on the public support that catapulted him to the White House twice, the president said the public has "the obligation to shape the debates of our time."
"Not only with the votes we cast, but with the voices we lift in defense of our most ancient values and enduring ideals," Obama said.
Moments earlier, Obama placed his hand on two Bibles — one used by King and the other by Abraham Lincoln — and recited the brief oath of office. Michelle Obama held the Bibles, one on top of the other, as daughters Malia and Sasha looked on.
Vice President Joe Biden was also sworn in for his second term as the nation's second in command. Former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, several Cabinet secretaries and dozens of lawmakers were on hand to bear witness to history.
Monday's oaths were purely ceremonial. The Constitution stipulates that presidents begin their new terms at noon on Jan. 20, and in keeping with that requirement, Obama was sworn in Sunday in a small ceremony at the White House. Because inaugural celebrations are historically not held on Sundays, organizers pushed the public events to Monday.
Obama soaked in the history on a day full of traditions as old as the Republic. Gazing over the crowd before retreating into the Capitol, he said, "I want to take a look, one more time. I'm not going to see this again."
After a stunning sunrise, the weather for the swearing-in and parade was chilly — upper 30s rising into the lower 40s. Overcast skies gave way to bright sunshine for the parade.

These baskets have so many uses it's almost silly to call them Lunch Baskets! But we chose them because they are smaller, 16" x 9" x 8", and we feel they will be the perfect size for a child to take their lunch to school. Our Foldable Lunch Basket will easily hold a thermos, a water bottle, and all the food containers a child needs for their snacks and lunch. They may even slip a book into this! There's even a handy zipper pocket on the outside where you can put notes for your child, for the teacher or for the child to put those notes home to the parents!
But we also recommend having one to keep in the car for using in stores intead of bags, for carrying clean car clothes and a bag for the muddy ones, for holding magazines and books, for toys to play with in the park. Maybe you'll need two! These are made of two layers of polyester, have feet on the bottom, and fold when empty to take up less space. Made in China.
