UPDATE! CMP has agreed to a partial settlement, which effectively kills the controversial standby fee. Click here for more details.
As reported by the Portland Press Herald and Maine Biz, Central Maine Power (CMP) is proposing a major rate increase and rate design change that will affect nearly all of their customers in Maine.
In the crosshairs of this change is a discriminatory rate structure that will penalize customers who wish to save money by installing solar panels and reducing their use with efficiency measures.
What is CMP Proposing?
The Rate Design Case is a complicated one with many different facets affecting virtually every energy consumer in Maine in some way. In addition to raising rates overall, there are two elements of CMP's proposal which are really concerning to people concerned about renewable energy, in terms of the message they send to consumers and their likely effect on future energy use in Maine.
The first change is that CMP wants to significantly increase the fixed monthly charges for their residential and small commercial customers. They propose to offset most of this increase by simultaneously reducing some of the variable (kw-hr based) charges for those customers, but the problem with this proposal is that it takes away your individual control of your electric bill. If fixed charges make up more of your CMP bill, you will no longer have the ability to control that bill through your own usage choices or through investments in efficiency and renewable energy. As written, the CMP proposal will raise the current fixed fee in a customer's bill from $9.36 to roughly $20 over five years.
The second really problematic piece of CMP's rate proposal is their desire to charge customers of renewable energy systems a separate 'standby charge' to penalize them for making some of their own energy. The utility argues that it needs that charge in order to recover its costs to serve those customers, but the reality is that this standby charge is essentially an attempt to punish customers for making investments in on-site energy generation and is part of an organized corporate attack on solar energy. CMP's punitive 'standby' charge would raise the average residential solar customer's bill by an ADDITIONAL $25/month over and above the higher 'fixed' fees which CMP is also proposing.
Utilities are terrified by the widespread adoption of renewable energy because customers producing their own power disrupts their monopoly business model. Most observers also agree that the standby charge is actually illegal here in Maine, at least for solar customers, where we have a state law that prohibits discrimination by the utility against customers who install net metered solar systems.
What CMP has proposed: Revenue Rate Testimony, MCOS Study
Who is CMP? Do they provide my power?
Central Maine Power is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Iberdrola, a Spanish energy conglomerate. They are the monopoly electric utility serving most of the southern 2/3rd of Maine. They do not generate any electricity, they just own the poles and the wires that bring the electricity to your home or business. Because they are a monopoly and provide an essential public function, CMP is regulated by the Maine Public Utilities Commision (PUC), who is supposed to make sure that the company provides reasonable quality service at fair prices to all its customers and that they don't behave in a way that is predatory.
How do these proposals affects rate payers generally?
The proposal has negative consequences for Maine at both the individual and the grid level. As an individual rate payer, the proposal will reduce your ability to manage your electric bill through changes in behavior or investments in efficiency or renewable energy. Under the proposal, some ratepayers (those that currently already have very high electric usage) may find their bill actually goes down, while others (those that use less energy) will see their bill go up.
On the grid-wide level, because the proposal sends the wrong market signals to energy consumers, it will lead to higher usage and higher costs for everyone in the long run. By eliminating volumetric charges and transitioning to (higher) fixed rates, CMP's proposal will eliminate the incentive for customers to reduce their peak usage or overall consumption. As a result, the use of the electric grid will be less efficient and will likely require construction of additional expensive infrastructure that would otherwise have been unnecessary. This is contrary to state energy policy goals and is not in the best interest of ratepayers or the State of Maine.
While discouraging distributed generation and energy efficiency makes perfect sense for a utility investor whose makes more money when system load increases and the utility can justify building massive infrastructure projects with generous guaranteed returns, it is clearly not in the public interest. When utility rate structures are designed to disincentive conservation and distributed generation, ratepayers are financially harmed twice. They pay for the increased energy they consume and they pay for the otherwise unnecessary infrastructure that the transmission and distribution utility will build as a result of the increased demand.
How do these proposals affects distributed solar and efficiency measures?
Increasing fixed charges and reducing volumetric charges will tend to decrease the economic benefits (lengthen the simple payback) of all kinds of efficiency improvements from lighting upgrades, to heat or water heating improvements, appliance replacements and investments in renewable energy.
Replacing volumetric charges in residential and small commercial rates is a back door attack on net energy billing, also commonly called 'net metering,' which is currently the only substantive policy left in Maine that supports small renewable energy systems. Under the PUC rules, Chapter 313, utility customers with small distributed solar energy systems (under 660 kilowatts) are permitted to connect those systems behind the utility meter to offset the customer's load with locally generated renewable energy. When solar production exceeds the load over the course of a billing period, the excess production is exported to the grid and generates a credit on the utility bill at the customer's per kWh rate. Under net metering, the utility is not required to pay the solar system owner for the excess power produced, but is required to grant them a credit on their utility bill which can be carried forward for up to one year in order to offset future load (e.g. when a solar system doesn't generate as much electricity, such as during winter months).
Under net energy billing, excess solar production is credited only at the customer's per kWh rate (volumetric charges), not against any fixed costs. As such, any rate design changes that replace volumetric charges with fixed fees reduces the benefits of net metering and makes solar system economics far more challenging and, in the case of CMP's proposal, will extend payback periods by several years (see below). The same problem happens with energy efficiency investments.
But shouldn't net metered solar customers help pay for the grid, after all, they need it too?
Solar advocates agree that solar customers who use the grid to enable their solar system ought to pay their fair share of the costs of that grid. After all, we rely on the grid on cloudy days or in the evening to provide us continuous and reliable power.
The disagreement is about what constitutes a 'fair share' and how those costs are billed. It is our belief that the fixed costs of serving a customer (reading the meter, sending out bills) ought to be reflected in the basic customer charge that all utility customers already pay on a monthly basis. And that charge should be the same for all customers of a particular rate class.
There already exists a minimum monthly charge of about $10 a month, which is reasonable and fair. All customers (including solar customers who have no net energy consumption over the course of the year) currently pay this minimum monthly service charge for the right to be a CMP customer. That is reasonable and we have no objection to that.
What is unreasonable, and also plainly unlawful, is to specifically discriminate against some customers within a rate class simply because they happen to have a net metered solar system, and to impose an extra surcharge on those customers even though their usage profile may be indistinguishable from another customer that doesn't happen to have solar installed.
The CMP proposal to discriminate against solar customers is particularly egregious because in addition to the basic equity and legality question above, it ignores the fact that solar customers, on average, have a reduced energy consumption at times of the system's peak load. Wholesale energy is expensive at times of peak load (hot days in summer when air conditioners are running), which serves to drive up the overall utility costs to everyone. However – solar panels help to LOWER that peak load (since solar panels, by definition, generate power when the sun is shining) and so in fact produce valuable wholesale energy and pump it into the grid when it is needed the most.
A common sense rate design that is fair and based on cost-causation principals would compensate, not penalize, those customers for their contribution to lowering overall costs.
Who is representing me – the typical homeowner interested in energy efficiency or renewable energy in this process?
In theory, any affected party has the right to participate in the PUC process by filing as an intervener in the case. In practice, the duration and complexity of the case (roughly 10 months, hundreds of filing with thousands and thousands of pages of documents and weeks of hearings) means that typically only organizations with substantial resources (and usually paid lobbyists) actually participate. The interest of the rate payers generally is supposed to be represented in the case by the Office of the Public Advocate (OPA), though their priorities may or may not align perfectly with yours.
Other organizations that have been granted status as interveners in this case and are advocating robustly for energy efficiency and renewables include: The Natural Resources Council of Maine, Environment North East, The Maine Association of Building Efficiency Professionals (MABEP), the Industrial Energy Consumer Group (IECG), and the Maine Independent Colleges Association (MICA). The independent Efficiency Maine trust is also an intervener in the case.
What can I do?
Well over a hundred people attended each public PUC hearing, held April 2 and April 3, 2014. Dozens of people testified against the proposed changes. If you missed the hearing, you may still submit sworn testimony using PUC's online web portal.

SIKESTON - According to the Centers for Disease Control, teens who smoke are three times more likely than nonsmokers to use alcohol, eight times more likely to use marijuana and 22 times more likely to use cocaine.
It's a problem the Southeast Missouri Cancer Control Coalition would like to see come to an end, which is why the group is inviting junior high and high school students in Sikeston and the surrounding areas to a motivational anti-tobacco rally set for 10 a.m. to noon April 6 at the Albritton-Mayer Cultural Center, 506 S. Kingshighway.
Maybe young people aren't aware of the repercussions or don't realize the poisons they're putting into their bodies. Some say they smoke because their friends do or it builds their self-esteem. Whatever their reasons for smoking, organizers are hoping the upcoming free event will shed some light on a habit many youths deem as tight.
The idea is not only to show the dangers, but to empower young people to fight against lighting up in the first place and to share that belief with others.
"Every year the coalition selects a project to work on and this year's project addresses youths and tobacco use. The coalition has worked with youths in different towns in the area like Benton," said Brenda Freed, a coalition member. "The youth groups are working on tobacco use prevention in their communities and schools such as radio, advertising, song writing and establishing a smoke-free dinning guide in the elementary schools. What we hope to bring to Southeast Missouri in the youth rally are new ideas for communities and schools to prevent the use of tobacco among teens."
Formed in 1990, the volunteer coalition was created to reduce cancer mortality through early detection and prevention in 17 counties of Southeast Missouri including Scott, Mississippi, New Madrid, Pemiscot and Stoddard.
The event will include anti-tobacco games, activities and prizes. Guest speakers will include Joyce Lara who has nine years experience in the tobacco prevention field. Employed with Northeast Tobacco Free Missouri, for which she is co-chairman of the coalition, she is also director of Smokebusters which is a group of young people who give tobacco awareness programs in their communities.
Employed as a chronic disease health educator with the Clark, Know, Scotland and Shelby County Health Departments, Lori Moots' major emphasis is in youth tobacco use prevention and cessation. She has worked with programs such as Teens Against Tobacco Use and Project Toward No Tobacco as well as projects with the Northeast Missouri Smokebusters, training over 250 youths in prevention.
Mary Ann Reed is a health educator with the Linn and Sullivan County Health Departments and primarily works in the areas of tobacco, nutrition and physical activity.
Presentations will also be given by area students who've taken the anti-tobacco campaign to their schools and communities.
According to the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System, more than 3,000 youths become regular smokers each day. Missouri rates for high school students in grades 9-12 are at 39 percent compared to the national average of 32 percent.
Also discovered was that 40.2 percent of high school students currently used tobacco products and a fourth (24.7 percent) had smoked a whole cigarette before age 13 in 1999.
"We hope that every community will take part in this rally," Freed said. "Something as simple as placing anti-tobacco stickers in windows will raise awareness against tobacco. I want those who come to leave realizing the importance of not beginning to smoke as a teen and to get ideas about things they can do in their schools and communities to help each other. It will be very good event, it's not going to be a lecture or putting anyone down, it's going to be fun and informative."
For more information on the rally contact Freed at 471-4044.

Shortly after the MySQL 5.5 upgrade the whole cluster was upgraded with extra ram. This was a nice test to see how differently 5.1 and 5.5 behave when they A) innodb bufferpool is too small and B) when the innodb bufferpool has enough room to fit everything in memory.
The MySQL 5.5 had just the same pattern in terms of disk utilization as the other nodes before (around 30% to 40%) and after the upgrade (4% to 5%), so not much difference at all. However the number of free pages within the bufferpool is significantly lower (about 10%) than on the other nodes. This definitely needs some further investigation.

There's been a lot of excited flapping in the blogosphere and traditional meedja about Nails Inc's new trio of magnetic polishes, and I'm not really sure what all the fuss is about. Ok, they're cool and fun and easy to use – holding a magnet over the wet polish causes small metal particles to shift and thus creates patterns on the nail – but polishes like these aren't a new idea.
I remember coveting Lancome Le Magnetique a couple of years ago and of course Essence had the jump on other high street brands last November/December with their limited edition Metallics collection, which included magnetic nail polishes for €2.29 each.
And that's the other thing: at €17.50 a pop, the Nails Inc versions are bloody dear.
Unfortunately, since Essence Metallics cleared the stands there's not currently much choice in the budget end of the magnetic nail polish market, but these will probably go the way of crackle effect top coats (i.e., give it five minutes and everyone and their great-aunt Doris will have their own take on them.)
First out of the traps are The Saturdays – yes, those The Saturdays – who have teamed up with beauty brand FashionistA to create Magnetism Nail Lacquers. Available in five shades – silver, green, blue, purple and red, one for each member of the group – these are now rolling out across all Superdrug stores including those in Ireland, say their PR peeps, and should be hitting a stand near you in the next week or two.
No word as yet on Euro pricing, but with an RRP of £6 in the UK they're unlikely to break the bank.
Are you feeling the attraction for magnetic polishes?

Moss Point police investigators have arrested Lovin Payton on a charge of manslaughter in the death of his older brother, Jerry Payton.
Police Chief Keith Davis told The Sun Herald that both men were in their mid-50s and lived with their mother.
Davis said police believe Lovin Payton came home under the influence of drugs or alcohol and began yelling at his mother Sunday morning. Davis said Jerry Payton intervened, and Lovin Payton punched his older brother in the head a couple of times.
The mother called police. When they arrived, they found Jerry Payton on the floor. Davis said Jerry Payton was pronounced died at the scene.

Lee, E, Chase, TN, Rajagopalan, B (2008). Highly improved predictive skill in the forecasting of the East Asian summer monsoon. WATER RESOURCES RESEARCH, 44(10), W10422.
AbstractThe East Asian summer monsoon greatly influences the lives and property of about a quarter of the people in the world. However, the predictive skill of the monsoon is very low in comparison with that of the Indian summer monsoon because of the complexity of the system which involves both tropical and subtropical climates. Previous monsoon prediction models emphasized ocean factors as the primary monsoon forcing. Here we show that preseason land surface cover is at least as important as ocean indices. New statistical forecast models of the East Asian summer monsoon using land cover conditions in addition to ocean heat sources double and triple, respectively, the predictive skill of the northern and southern East Asian summer monsoon forecasting models relative to models using ocean factors alone. This work highlights the, as yet, undocumented importance of seasonal land cover in monsoon prediction and the role of the biosphere in the climate system as a whole. We also detail the physical mechanisms involved in these land surface forcings.

The European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) was developed to promote prosperity, security, stability as well as rule-of-law and democratic structures in the countries bordering on the enlarged EU.It is geared towards the EU's immediate neighbours both to the east (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine) and the south (Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, the Palestinian territories, Syria and Tunisia).The aim is to help partner countries foster stability, modernization and democratic reform in particular as well as to promote dialogue with civil society. To this end, the EU is providing financial backing and encouraging greater economic integration, closer political and cultural relations, as well as deeper sectoral cooperation with and among partner countries.The more progress a country makes on reform, the more support it will receive (more for more). If a country fails to make any progress, the EU will review its support.In concrete terms, the ENP is implemented first and foremost via Action Plans for individual ENP partners which are agreed between the EU and the relevant partner country. The Commission takes stock of what headway has been made in annual progress reports. The legal prerequisite for such a Plan is the existence of valid partnership and cooperation or association agreements with the EU.To help realize the original ENP, in 2007 the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI) was created with a budget of some 11 billion euros for the period 2007‑2013. ENPI was replaced in 2013 by the European Neighbourhood Instrument (ENI), for the period 2014-2020 more than 15 billion euros will be available for ENI.
In 2011, in the wake of the Arab Spring, the European Union realigned its Neighbourhood Policy towards its Southern Neighbours as "Partnership with the Southern Mediterranean for Democracy and Shared Prosperity" focused on supporting the political transition as well as promotion of the economic development of the southern partner countries. It combines the EU programs to implement democratic reform, institution-building in areas such as judicial reform, the fight against corruption and the promotion of civil society reinforced by measures to strengthen economic cooperation, especially in the form of Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreements (DCFTA) and Mobility Partnerships. During the year 2014, these DCFTA negotiations continued with Morocco, and were prepared with Egypt, Jordan and Tunisia. Considering the outstanding history of the Arab Spring, Austria advocates increased EU engagement in the southern Mediterranean. However, the EU support measures must be effective, and these funds need to be used efficiently and to yield justifiable results.Austria is also a member of the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) and participates in the Anna Lindh Foundation (ALF) that linkes local NGOs in the framework of the UfM. The UfM membership encompasses 43 countries, namely all EU members, the southern Mediterranean countries, as well as Jordan and Mauritania. The aim of this Euro-Mediterranean partnership is to promote integration and democratic reforms through concrete projects that strengthen regional and sub-regional cooperation. The concrete project work is coordinated by the General Secretariat in Barcelona. The activities of the UfM are financed by voluntary contributions from Member States and from the EU's ENI budget. Austria sees the Union for the Mediterranean as a useful multilateral forum to enhance regional cooperation in the Mediterranean region that complements the bilateral cooperation approach of the ENP with the Southern neighbours. Since March 2012, the European Union through the European External Action Service is co-chairing the UfM together with a member country from the South. This guarantees the complementarity of the UfM with the cooperation programs of the European Neighbourhood Policy and thus enhances the effectiveness of EU assistance to the countries of the southern Mediterranean. The UfM is also an important platform for dialogue where 43 countries from Europe and the entire Mediterranean basin, including Israeli and Palestinian representatives, meet regularly at working level. Conferences of ministers on specific topics are also held twice a semester. Within the Parliamentary Assembly of the UfM, a summit of the presidents and Speakers of the Parliaments of all member states was held in April 2013 in Marseilles that was also attended by the president of the Austrian Parliament, Ms. Barbara Prammer.The Anna Lindh Foundation with its secretariat based in Alexandria promotes the exchange between institutions working in the cultural sector and civil society. The Mediterranean Forum of the Anna Lindh Foundation in Marseille in April 2013 was attended by over 1550 representatives of NGOs from 52 countries. The national ALF Network for Austria is managed by the Austrian Institute for International Affairs (oiip).
In 2009 the EU and its Eastern neighbours Ukraine, Moldova, Geogia, Belarus, Armenia and Azerbaijan established an Eastern Partnership as a regional component of the ENP (Prague 7th of May 2009) with a view to promoting political association and economic integration with these eastern neighbours.The Eastern Partnership is the most ambitious offer of cooperation under the EU's Neighbourhood Policy. It is based in the first instance on the conclusion of comprehensive association agreements with the EU, DCFTAs (Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreements) forming part of them. These association agreements will replace the existing and in some respects outdated partnership and cooperation agreements with the partner countries and place their relations with the EU on a new footing.The agreements with Georgia and Moldova were initialled at the Summit in Vilnius (28 to 29 November 2013) and signed on 27th of June 2014. The political parts of the association agreement with Ukraine were signed on 21st of March 2014 and the other parts on 27th of June 2014.The Eastern Partnership promotes the reform course these countries have embarked on and offers EU support that gives additional impetus to their political, economic and societal transformation.A long term goal of the Eastern Partnership is also visa liberalisation.

Background and writing[edit]
Songwriter Aaron Kamin told Launch about the background behind the song. "My cousin passed away, and he and his wife had been married for 50 some-odd years, and I was just putting myself in his shoes. Like, losing somebody after, like, 50 years," Kamin said. He went on to refer to the September 11 attacks that occurred only a few months after the song's release and said that the song has "become more relevant in our lives as the world has changed recently. It's been rekindled even more so for us, I think, right about now."[2]
Music video[edit]
Two videos were shot for this song. The first was set in Mexico. The other version, which is more popular, was directed by Gregory Dark, and has the band performing in the concrete channel of the Los Angeles River, while a teenage soap opera plays in the foreground. A teenage girl gets her boyfriend's name tattooed on her shoulder, but when she finds him cheating with another girl, she flies into a rage, destroying most of his belongings. At the end of the video, she is seen with a new boyfriend (male model and then-fledgling actor Drew Fuller) with a flower tattoo covering the name, as her jealous ex watches her from his car. Alex Band can also be seen in some scenes singing in the foreground of some of the storyline, such as when the girl is seen destroying the belongings.

By Spc. Kandi Huggins, 1st AATF PAO, 1st Inf. Div., USD-NApril 8, 2011
CONTINGENCY OPERATING SITE WARRIOR, Iraq - "I went in the living room and couldn't see anything - it was all black and thick," said Spc. Shane Darst, describing a house fire. "I got down on my knees and crawled into the living room. There was only about an inch between the carpet and smoke where you could see clear across to the kitchen but you could see the fire ripping the kitchen apart."
Darst, an armor crewmember serving with Company D, 2nd Battalion, 12th Cavalry Regiment, "Thunderhorse," attached to the 1st Advise and Assist Task Force, 1st Infantry Division, received a recommendation for the Department of Defense Soldier's Medal for saving a neighbor's life in his hometown of Marengo, Ohio when he was home for environmental morale leave in December 2010.
Darst said he and his wife just arrived home when he heard something that sounded like fireworks about two houses down. Realizing the sound was a transformer exploding, Darst said he ran to the house and entered after learning someone was still inside.
Darst said he began yelling for his neighbor to make some type of noise if he or she could hear Darst's voice.
"I heard something fall over and inside my head I said please God let that be him," said Darst.
After finding a girl inside, Darst dragged her out the front door to safety.
Upon returning to COS Warrior, Darst received a 'Devil Brigade' coin and a Certificate of Achievement for his act of courage.
Spc. Tyler Shuell, Darst's best friend, also serving with Company D, said he thinks Darst receiving the Soldier's Medal is well deserved.
"When I heard about it, I was proud of him," said Shuell, who hails from Portland, Ore. "He's definitely the type of guy who will go out of his way for you."
Congress officially introduced the Soldier's Medal in 1926 to recognize acts of bravery outside of combat. The criteria for receipt of the medal requires the member, serving under the U.S. Army, to encounter personal danger and a voluntary risk of his or her life - an act of bravery Darst said he did not think he could do.
"The thing that made me do it was that girl's scream," said Darst. "I kept thinking, if that was my daughter, if that was me in there, I'd want somebody to come get me. I never thought I'd be able to do something like that but whenever it happens, it's like, either you do it or you don't."
After the incident, Darst said he visited the family several times before he returned to COS Warrior.
Everyone was happy, he said, and although they lost belongings, he was glad to be a part of them having a merry Christmas by allowing them to have the gift of each other.
Darst is scheduled to receive the Soldier's Medal during an upcoming awards ceremony hosted by Thunderhorse Battalion.

I don't have the recent screws but have the 6,8,12 inche wood handscrews since about '95 from Harbor Freight and they all look the same as new designs. I have used them all many times for many years. Every single one is still working as good as new! These are bulky which is the only negative, but that provides ample stiffness to handle very high screw loads. They are designed very well and should not be changed in any way. These can clamp much tighter than you might think. Only a steel I beam bar clamp might be able to clamp tighter or very robust steel C clamp. The abiilty to move each of the two screws independently allows multiple angles to clamp with, making these the best clamp of all for clamping on non square parts with angles. For instance, recently, broke my Lazy Boy Recliner handle. It is plastic with a triangular shape to it and broke such that the two parts didn't just perfectly fit back together. I used some epoxy between them and the 12" clamp to match the angled sides perfectly AND clamp tight enough to pull the two rough surfaces together and become a good fit again by bending the plastic where it needed to bend. Other clamps would not be able to do all this at all or as well. The result was a repaired part that works great and hardly shows it even broke at all.Also the large surface area available for these clamps is head and shoulders better for soft or wood projects than any other clamp! Denting or marring the wood is generally a non issue with these with the large contact area available (if you set them up properly). I highly recommend all the hand screws. Almost as good as Jorg* or CM* or other brands and much better cost.HF, I would like a 20% off discount now for my review and testing these the last 20 years for you! Oh, never mind there is one in this week's mailer.

Misleading labeling - only 4.75 inch capacity
These are comparable to what are usually called 4 or 4.5 inch handscrew clamps. The HF branded clamps are labeled by length of the clamp jaws instead of capacity. This is very misleading....Read complete review
These are comparable to what are usually called 4 or 4.5 inch handscrew clamps. The HF branded clamps are labeled by length of the clamp jaws instead of capacity. This is very misleading. Keep this in mind when comparison shopping. Besides the deceptive labeling the clamp seems to be of a good quality, but I can't recommend a product sold in a deceptive way.

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Comments about Pittsburgh 8 in. Handscrew Clamp:
I have used several hand screw clamps, they are all pretty much the same as far as I can tell. Keep in mind I am a not a professional so I don't use clamps everyday. Assuming they are mostly all the same, why pay twice as much. Then use a coupon and subtract some more from that and why would you not buy from Harbor Freight.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me Professional
Checked the price at other stores and the price was the same or lower. I have other of the 8 in. Handscrew Clamps by Pittsburgh and they seem to hold up well and work great. I needed a few more of the smaller (8") clamps and I chose these as I have had no problems with THIS product from harbor freight before.

Rhonda Davis has a Master�s Degree in Strategic Leadership and has previously worked in education, real estate and insurance sales, and owned a promotional business. For the past seven years, she has been the full-time Marketing and Public Relations Director for Jackson General Hospital who is responsible for increasing market shares and public image--while also involved in community outreach and education, fundraising and development, and various health-related initiatives. Rhonda is also a part-time Adjunct Professor at WVU-P, Jackson County Center, where she teaches Computer Science, Leadership, and Business Communications. She also stays busy volunteering with the Jackson County Anti-Drug Coalition, Jackson County Teen Court, Ripley Rotary, Jackson County Chamber of Commerce, American Heart Association, Jackson General Hospital Foundation, Allohawk Council of the Boy Scouts, ACS Relay for Life, and the Jackson County Community Foundation.
JGH Radiologist, Dr. Joseph Skeens, spoke to the Ripley Rotary Club about the "living donor" program. He explained that his reasons for bringing this issue to the forefront were both professional and personal. As a husband of a kidney transplant recipient and a practicing medical doctor, he sees these types of diagnosis frequently and the effects the disease and surgeries have on the patients' families. For this reason, he feels strongly that the public needs to be informed of the donor choices and hopefully help find his wife a new organ in the process. If the donor isn't suitable for his wife, they will still certainly have an impact on the life of another on the recipient list and this would be quite a legacy to leave...the gift of life!
This live donor kidney transplant option is usually less publicized than the deceased donor (cadavar) kidney transplant because of the fear of lifelong problems for both the donor and the recipient. Although there are associated risks, the reality is that it is a fairly routine procedure with average recovery time. This procedure is being offered laprocopically and leaves minimal scarring. As explained by Dr. Skeens, extensive screening proceeds any surgery or even being put on a list as a donor or recipient. The donor will have an advocate that decides if/when the patient is suitable for donating and always makes his/her well-being the utmost priority. A recent Department of Kidney Transplantation study determined that living donor kidney tranplantations showed higher graft survival and lower acute rejection rates compared with those from deceased donors.
Dr. Skeens' wife, the former Janet Hoff, from Jackson County is seeking a miracle at this time. She writes in a letter presented to the Ripley Rotary Club the following: This is a letter I never thought I would be writing 16 years after receiving a kidney transplant. The cadaver transplant I received in 1996 has been damaged and is no longer working. As a teenager, I was diagnosed with Lupus. This condition led to renal failure. The only choice I had at that time was dialysis, which I endured for 12 years. Then I was blessed with the kidney transplant that allowed me to live a full and normal life for 16 years. Unfortunately, a diagnosis of cancer aand the treatment for it destroyed with precious gift. As a result, I find myself on dialysis once again. My crrent life of hemodialysis, 3 days a week, has become my full-time job. This grueling process, although keeping me alive, causes side effects that are life threatening, which I deal with 24 hours a day. As a registered nurse, wife, mother, and grandmother, I am in need of the care I once gave to others. If I am fortunate and get a new kidney, my goal is to work as an advocate for renal patients. Should you consider giving me this gift, simply call Ohio State University, where I am on the active transplant list. This will start the process of you becoming a living donor. Tell the donor coordinator that you want to donate to me, Janet (Hoff) Skees, and they will instruct you with the next step. God bless you for considering giving this gift of life to me! For more information, pleas call OSU at (800)293-8965 or e-mail me directly at: firstname.lastname@example.com or phone (304)532-7625. Janet

Irving v. Lipstadt
Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|<< The deportation and murde...
|< Irving the historian
|Hitler's speech on 26 May... >
|Findings in relation to t... >>
Himmler's speeches of 6 October 1943 and 5 and 24 May 1944 (paragaphs 5.222-230 above)
13.46 It is a common ground that in these three speeches Himmler was speaking, with remarkable frankness, about the murder of the Jews. The question is whether Irving dealt in an objective and fair manner with the evidence which those speeches afford as to Hitler's knowledge of and complicity in the murder of the Jews. I am satisfied that he did not. Two of the speeches provide powerful evidence that Hitler ordered that the extermination of the Jews should take place. Yet in the 1977 edition of Hitler's War Irving suggests that the existence of a Hitler order was an invention on the part of Himmler. It does not appear to me that the evidence supports that suggestion. I consider that Irving's deduction that the transcript of the speech of 5 May was either altered after Himmler delivered the speech or sanitised before it was shown to Hitler is fanciful. The absence of any mention of that speech in the 1991 edition of Hitler's War was in my judgment another culpable omission.

Krása, Trenčiansky hrad, aká to pocta pre naše mesto

great dude, the horse is wonderful
great great!
Ahogy látom, ez Trencsén vára! Az egyik katona pajzsa alapján Csák Máté magyar kiskirály lehet az ábrázolt lovag, nemde?
That's pretty badass. It's got this "classic regal" feel to it. Sort of like some of the Napoleon portrait paintings.
i love the sharpness and contrasts of the colors
lovely style and great palette!!!
Interesting style.
Ah it never gets dull to see good ol' Lenin kickin' around.
Top notch work! i really like it!
Great piece! Do you use basic photoshop brushes or you creates any?
Love it! Very nice pose!
Judging by the castle in the background, it's probably Matus Cak Trenciansky, right? It's an awesome work, really.
very fine work!
Mighty horsie, lots of guiding lines, importance on the main figure and the rest is just slightly defines: this piece worx as it should, a professional and passionate work. Me likes it!
Tahle práce se mi opravdu líbí.. krásně se na ni kouká
good dynamics
Cool pose and lightning!
BTW: Isn´t that Trenčín castle on the background?

Awesome color palette
Stunning artwork, congratulations! Very well done, my friend!
Awesome palette...... and real strength in the broad style..... very cool!
very nice action scene.... i like the roughness adds to the scenario
Beautiful! I love the movement and the limited color palette
Wow! Amazing
really awesome
the color in this is so good, the way the warm tones of the main character and his horse pop out against the soldiers and background is brilliant.
Waw ! incredible work !

Life as usual
My surgerySeptember 24th 2009 7:14 am
[ Leave A Comment ]
Well I don't post much ( man of little words ) but tomorrow I will have surgery. My doctor don't want to take a chance on the tumor I have. First it looked like a cyst but after treatment for it, we found out it isn't. So I will have it removed ( it is the size of a golfball on my leg ). The vet told mom that he isn't sure if there will be enough of my own skin to cover it but if not, he will use a cadver skin. I have had all my bloodwork done and even my heart was checked to make sure I am really healthy for surgery. My vet don't take chances. Esp with us oldies. So I will have to be on bed rest for about 2 weeks and only allowed out to potty. That will be hard but my sis will be with my alot too. Her bad days she don't wanna go out much either.

Definition of ultramicroscope in English:
An optical microscope used to detect particles smaller than the wavelength of light by illuminating them at an angle and observing the light scattered by the Tyndall effect against a dark background.
Example sentences
- The tiny particles in colloidal gold were not seen directly until the early twentieth century, when the Austrian chemist Richard Adolf Zsigmondy invented the ultramicroscope, a device capable of resolving such small objects.
- Nevertheless the apparent trajectory of an element in the ultramicroscope is not a curve without tangents.
- The exsistence of the ultramicroscopes, and their primacy in their day, is arcane, but not controversial.

Wow! Was I a happy camper to see a peek inside Guiliana and Bill Rancic's new LA home today. It's no surprise to me that their home is elegant and lovely. I could see right from the start of their marriage that they had excellent taste! I love so many things that they incorporated into this chic home! It's so exciting to see such great style on a Monday! The photos are courtesy of The Style Network.
Would you agree that this porch is perfection! Definitely a chic coastal living look!
Nautical baby room! Love the octopus artwork and the port hole mirror!
Paddle boards, nautical knot and lamp base! Cute!
Perfect white kitchen! ...and the table looks like it's from Williams Sonoma Home or Restoration Hardware.

With all of the Microsoft Surface talk the last few days it's almost a back story that Microsoft has a huge event today in San Francisco (9AM PT, 12PM ET) where they are going to reveal the future of Windows Phone. It's my belief and others that we will see quite a bit of Windows Phone 8 (Apollo) at today's event. Hopefully a sneak peak at some next-gen hardware too.
Microsoft's Windows Phone event is just hours away and for those of you who would like to watch along, there will be a live stream of the event available via Channel 9. The event begins at 9am PST, 12pm EST, which you can watch here.

Comments about Debbie Macomber Petals Sock:
I knitted the Church Mouse Beret complete with beads from a random skein of Petals. It came out beautiful: soft, flexible, nice angora halo. There is so much yarn on one skein you can easily make a matching pair of fingerless gloves or a cowl to go with the hat. With so many friends and family undergoing chemo, I purchased Petals in every color and have now knocked out five beautiful berets. All their bald heads are now warm and stylish. One of these days I will actually knit something for myself out of this wonderful yarn. I have only washed by hand so can't speak to machine washing. It blocks great. Be careful though, frogging is difficult if you make a mistake, because of the angora. I can attest from experience that frogging may be difficult, but it isn't impossible. LOL

Comments about Debbie Macomber Petals Sock:
I confess that I have not worked with this yarn yet. My plan was to use this for a design for a pattern I am working on for fingerless gloves. The yarn is very beautiful and soft, but because of the "tweedy" nature of the colorway, I am not sure if the eyelet design I have in mind will show to best advantage. Currently, I am considering a design for a "shawlette" instead.

Comments about Debbie Macomber Petals Sock:
This is the softest yarn (not just sock yarn) I have ever knit with. I have peripheral neuropathy which causes the skin on my feet to be unusually sensitive. So thesesocks feel like heaven on my feet. Since thereof generally an inverse relationship between softness & durability in yarn, I am a bit concerned about how long these socks will last. The main problem I had with this yarn was that the angora did not seem to be well spun in - causing a fuzzy halo. The main problem had with this yarn was that it was far more tangled in the ball than any other yarn I've ever used. I think thatis because the angora didn't seem like it was spun in with the wool very thoroughly. The result ISA fuzzy halo that tends to stick to itself. I had to spen about 45 minutes untangling the initial clump of yarn that came out of the center if the all score I could astounding on (& it must be designed as aa a center pull ballbecause the only end I could find came from the center - even after having used enough yarn for a pair of socks, I still cannot find the other "outside" end.). Also the fact that the angora isnot blended well with the other fibers means that little fuzz balls form along the strand & tend to slide along, picking up more fuzz & growing) as you knit until they get to about a mm thick at which point, one has to carefully clip them off. Despite the fact that dealing with the stickiness of the yarn probably added acouple of hours to the kniing time, I still like this yarn & wish it came in more colors especially solids. It would be wonderful for hats, scarves, mittens & shawls. It would definitely be close to the top if the list for next to skin wear especially in view of the reasonable price.

Merry Christmas!
Dear Fans
After a wonderful and very relaxing seaside holiday I am now in the final stage of preparation for the new season which, as you know, will be beginning very soon. Never before have I started a tennis-year as early as the one ahead: I will be back in action on January 1st. I am very much looking forward to the tournament in Abu Dhabi, which is taking place for the first time, as well as the entire season of 2009! There is such a large number of challenges lying ahead - facing them, working hard and giving my best to succeed is precisely why I love my job so much.
Looking back at the past 365 days a lot of unforgettable experiences come to mind. But there are, of course, also the tough moments I had to go through. I faced an unexpectedly difficult training period and exhausting start of the season due to illness precisely 12 months ago. I spent a great deal of the year battling with the lack of practice and hours of training that I faced at the time.
So having played another three Grand Slam finals and having brought home the US Open trophy as well as reaching Olympic heights together with Stan Wawrinka makes me just the more proud. I was honoured to receive the Laureus title as Athlete of the Year again and also lift the trophy at my home-tournament in Basel once more. These are some of the truly wonderful, emotional moments I had the privilege to experience. And it was special to be able to share them together with Stan in Beijing.
Something I will always want to stress is the fact that all these experiences would not have been the same if I hadn't been able to share them with all of you. You gave me your full support during the entire season and showed me your enthusiasm for this wonderful sport. Your thoughtful gifts, words and actions are always a fabulous reward. I would like to thank you for that with all my heart. Let's keep up the great work and head into a successful 2009 together!
I'd like to wish all of you and your families a Merry Christmas, a wonderful end of this year and all the best for the one lying ahead.
See you very soon,
kind regards from Dubai,
We'll see if he still scratches his butt...
But in today's match there are signs that Roger has indeed MANY things to work on so that he can fine tune his game for the AO.
1-Inconsistent service game :
And I agree, Tuluta, it's nice watching Roger in good company!
Anyone has enough courage to watch the Spanish bull? Maybe just to check how much he has recovered from the VICIOUS operation?
