I have a kit coming soon as some here know.....I have a receiver that is 100% ready to build.
Here is my problem. Around the center support, where they attached the lower guide rails (I think).....is not finished to my liking. There are dimples that look like a bad acne scar, and they are recessed slightly enough to feel the dimples and see as well.
I intend on painting the receiver, which will help the look of it I hope. But is there any recomendations on what to do fix this? I was thinking a little epoxy to fill slightly, then sand and paint......any other easy, fuctional, lasting remedies out there besides what I'm thinking???
(I think I attached an image?????)

Public Health Officer Certification
The Public Health Officer Certification is an assessment of the quality and quantity of adverse event reports submitted by participants. It also reviews the overall integrity of the Oregon Patient Safety Commission reporting program for hospitals, nursing homes, ambulatory surgery centers, and retail pharmacies.
The first certification was published in 2007 for hospitals only. As the reporting programs for the other facility types were developed, they were also added to the second certification in 2008. In the 4th Quarter 2008, the Public Health Officer finalized certification criteria categories for all facility types and also the minimum requirements for the hospital program. The third annual certification was published in August 2009.
Hospitals entered their third full year of adverse event reporting in 2009 and will be evaluated using the certification standards. The first full certification will be released in 2010. Until now, the certification reports have assessed the programs to give the public an independent look at how the Commission is progressing with the various programs. The certification also provides feedback to the Commission about report quality and expectations of the Public Health Officer.
Nursing homes and ambulatory surgery centers reported for the first time in the 4th quarter 2007. Their first full year of reports is 2008 and the certification will be a general assessment of status and progress of the program. The quality improvement infrastructure varies in the non-hospital environment and this fact will be taken into consideration in the evaluation.
The reporting program for retail pharmacies was still in development in 2008.

Giants have to show me something first. Based on the last 4 weeks and their sched why would anyone think they win the div??
A fans perspective is different then an outsiders. IMO...I think they win 2 or 3 at most of the next 6. Unless they actually show up and play like the can and should.
"Measure Twice......Cut Once"
You couldn't be more full of **** if you were break dancing in a Port-a-Potty.......Kruunch
It all starts with greenbay. I want to see the tempo, play calling, and rythm they have against the packers. Even if it turns out to be a loss, if its a tough, hard nose, smash mouth game loss fine i have something to chew on till the next game; If its anything less, I don't see them coming back honestly.

Honestly, I don't see what's wrong with what Boomer has said. The Giants have been playing like ****, the Cowboys have an easier schedule compared to the Giants...the Giants know how to prove the naysayers wrong: win. But that means a lot of people need to pull their heads out of their collective *****, start playing with intensity and want to win.
For a Giant fan that I personally knew: My mom. May she smile and be delighted whenever her favorite player - Victor Cruz - scores a touchdown and does his salsa dance.
Thank you mom for everything! Let's Go Giants!
Boomer knows about as much about who's going to win the NFC east as anyone on here. NOTHING. he is welcome to his opinion, but like everyone else he has been dead wrong before.
Its hard to make a case for us seeing the way we played the last 4 weeks. Quite honestly the only things we have going for us is that we are up by 1/1/2 games and the Cowboys could very well self destruct.
So we could win the division at 8-8. If we have to go 9-7 it might be very difficult.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..

text: Decided to take my 18 year old 92 out for a good spin today and the second time since I changed; the barrel, locking block, trigger bar spring, main spring, extractor and spring and trigger spring. Ammo used was WWB at about the 250 round count or so. I focused on very quick draw, quick aim and very quick shooting at dirty bird targets and old cow bones at ranges from 10 to 35 yards in DA only. Generally, when I go to shoot, I take careful aim and slowly squeeze the 92's some what long DA. Not today, some scenarios I faced my back to the targets, spun around and shot very quick, others from my holster, etc, as fast as I could. In essence, I was shooting my 92 in DA just as quick as I got a sight picture. No staging, just crouch aim and shoot as fast as I could. Suffice to say my outing today was the best and most accurate shooting I've done with this 92 in quick shooting scenarios. I was on a role plastering old cow bones and hitting dirty birds in the ten ring and many bull eyes and if not bulls eyes pretty damn close. Some shots I thought no way, but believe me (way). So yes, you can shoot a 92 in DA very fast and very accurately even though many think it can't be done as opposed to consistent trigger pulls on non DA/SA handguns. I have two Storms, but my "ole" 92 gets it done, and does it very, very, well.

Start Quiz »
You scored
0 out of 20
Question 1 of 20
Let's start off easy. What '80s hairstyle wouldn't fit an '80s hair band?
permed hair
long locks
side ponytails
Listen, we're not talking Valley girls here. The '80s hair band liked it big, moussed and out of control.
Question 2 of 20
What band's bass player had a side job writing Meat Loaf songs?
Motley Crue
Nikki Sixx wrote several songs for Meat Loaf, along with a handful of other musicians (like the Backstreet Boys, who didn't wind up doing the track). Of course, he also penned Motley Crue tunes as well.
Question 3 of 20
What megahit boasts an opening riff that was actually just the guitar player warming up?
"Round and Round"
"Sweet Child O' Mine"
Slash thought the riff was nothing but a joke, but Axl Rose convinced him to keep it. You know you're good when your practice scales become iconic.
"Wanted Dead or Alive"
Question 4 of 20
What's Jon Bon Jovi's real name?
Jon Bon Jovi
Jonn Kapowski
John Bongiovi
Everyone knows that a last name with two words is twice as awesome as plain ol' Bongiovi.
Question 5 of 20
What band was NOT formed in Los Angeles?
Cinderella was from a decidedly not glam corner of Philadelphia. No offense to the more glam corners of Philadelphia.
Guns N' Roses
Question 6 of 20
Who is Bill Bailey?
Ozzy Osbourne
your accountant
Axl Rose
Axl Rose took his first band's name -- Axl -- for a first name, and he later changed his surname (back) to Rose.
Question 7 of 20
What frontman asked Paul Ryan to please stop using one of the band's hits on campaign stops for the 2012 U.S. presidential election?
Bon Jovi
Twisted Sister
Dee Snider "emphatically denounced" Ryan's use of the song "We're Not Gonna Take It" to pump up crowds.
Van Halen
Question 8 of 20
What was Sebastian Bach's real name?
Sebastian Bierk
Close enough, right? No one can fault Bach for trying his best to get some classic cred, but no one actually confused him for the maestro's descendant, either.
Sebastian Bark
Donald Andover
Question 9 of 20
What over-the-top performer says he actually suffers from stage fright?
Alice Cooper
Klaus Meine
Ozzy Osbourne
He may scare bats, but getting up onstage still gives Osbourne the willies.
Question 10 of 20
Where did Bret Michaels sustain a split lip and broken nose, in true hard-living fashion?
the roulette table in Vegas
in an LA fight with Axl Rose
in a fabulous revue at the Tony Awards
In 2009, Michaels was performing with Poison during a "Rock of Ages" performance at the Tony Awards, where he was hit by falling scenery.
Question 11 of 20
What '80s hair band was playing a 2003 show when a fire broke out, killing 100 people in the Rhode Island club?
Great White
The Station nightclub fire began during a pyrotechnics display at a Great White show.

Question 13 of 20
What quote is NOT attributed to David Lee Roth?
"I used to have a drug problem, now I make enough money."
"I used to jog, but the ice cubes kept falling out of my glass."
"I used to be cool."
Diamond David is still cool. And we're pretty sure he said the first two things, but the legend has always been bigger than the man.
Question 14 of 20
What do some derisively call hair bands?
poodle bands
Poodle bands -- but not because they're more clever than other breeds of bands. It's all about the fluffy, puffy, Aqua Netted hair.
fam bands
damn bands
Question 15 of 20
What musical act did NOT exert a strong influence on '80s hair bands?
Alice Cooper
Bob Dylan
It's possible that Dylan's moves crept in, but most see Kiss and Alice Cooper as strong godfathers to hair band style.
Question 16 of 20
What inspired Nikki Sixx's song "Kickstart My Heart"?
taking so much heroin his heart stopped
Back in 1987, Sixx did so much heroin that his heart stopped for two minutes. That incident (and probably a few others) inspired the song "Kickstart My Heart."
Lita Ford
his grandmother's death
Question 17 of 20
What famous '80s rock song was actually a cover of a '70s release?
"Is This Love"
"Every Rose Has Its Thorn"
"Cum on Feel the Noize"
Quiet Riot hated the idea of doing a cover of the original Slade song "Cum on Feel the Noize" and tried to make it sound horrible. Instead, it sounded like the anthem for '80s rock. So, you know, think about that.
Question 18 of 20
Perhaps you remember Bobbie Brown, the blonde woman in Warrant's "Cherry Pie" video. What role did she later take on?
Lady Macbeth in the Royal Shakespeare Company's "Macbeth"
the wife of Warrant's lead singer

mother of Zac Efron
Question 19 of 20
What '80s hair band only managed one album before record execs pulled the plug?
Bon Jovi
White Tiger
Although they may have written songs like "Rock Warriors" and "Live to Rock," White Tiger didn't seem to rock hard enough for their label.
Question 20 of 20
What '80s hair band plays one louder than 10?
Spinal Tap
These go to 11 -- when Spinal Tap is involved.
Van Halen

Excellent location!!! The apartment is in a great supurb surrounded by some of the cities best cafes. Only downsides were it was on rthe 6th floor with no elevater and the hot water does not last long. Other then that, the apartment is well equiped and i would definately rwcommend a stay here
Super nice place to stay in Paris. Great view from the balcony (you can see Sacre Coeur & the Eiffel Tower from there), kitchen and bathroom are tidy and well equiped! Also Romain is a nice guy, he gave us lots of information on the neighbourhood, where to go out, etc...
Only disadvantage is the bed which is pretty close to the ceiling, but you can take the matress off there and lay it on the ground which is also pretty good, because you can then enjoy the view out of the window when lying there. :)
Would absolutely recommend it to anyone who wants to have a central and yet cheap flat in Paris, would come back there at any time!
We had a great time at the apartment in Paris! It's small but very nice! The only extra exercise is to get there (6th floor) with a heavy suitcase and no lift! ;)
Great location close to Canal St. Martin, metro stations, and the vivid Marais. Everything was well functioning in the apartment and we had no problems what so ever. Only troubles might be that it is located on the 6th floor (no elevator) and it is a rather small apartment. It didn't bother us though.
The place is small, but it has everything you need in a fantastic location! If you're claustrophobic, the bed probably won't work for you... but otherwise it is great!
We left on the day we checked in. Just like the host said this is what u get if you want to pay cheap. We told me on the same day we moved to another accomodation and windu did not give our money back.
cozy little studio located in the 10. arrondissement. It's a nice neigbourhood, perfect to explore the city. It's very small but for a few nights it's perfect.
+: Great value considering the average rent amount; good location also for those who like to walk instead of using public transportation (about 30min walk from Notre Dame Cathedral); microwave oven and washer-dryer gives you lots of flexibility and money savings.
-: Cleanness not up to expectations, bed size pretty small compared to standards in Italy,
Eine schöne und zentral gelegene Wohnung mit Aussicht auf den Eifelturm und der Sacre Coeur. Sehr klein, daher ein Stern abzug. Sonst war alles super :)
Super schönes Zimmer. Zwar sehr klein, aber alles was man braucht ist vorhanden. Man hat einen traumhaften Blick vom Balkon auf den Eifelturm. Was aber besonders erwähnt werden sollte, ist die Umgebung. Die Wohnung liegt in dem schönsten Stadtteil Paris. Allein wegen der Umgebung, würde ich jedesmal wieder kommen. Vielen Dank!

Project x was awesome
Montage with Britney spears song is worth price of admission alone.
So this movie is an Ingmar Bergman type classic film?
Anyone else felt like the 2nd half of the movie was all about Alien and the 3 then 2 girls were a non factor?
The first half was about escaping straight life to experience the "spring break life." The second half was about living the "spring break life" full time. Alien lives the "spring break life" full time.

Gummo has a 33%.

People flocking to Gosling in a car-related action movie when it was actually something very different than the Fast & Furious franchise. It was in Refn's best interest to market it like that and I feel as though the same may be happening now for Korine (haven't seen the movie yet).
trailer was too stupid

If you are seeking a world-class educational experience within a vibrant, Christ-centered learning community, Cedarville is the place for you. Step up to the challenge of our arts, sciences, professional and graduate programs, and achieve more than you ever imagined. Be challenged and transformed by professors who are experts in their fields and invest their lives at Cedarville to mentor and guide students like you.
The best way to experience Cedarville is to visit campus. Be our guest!
November 1, 2013
Today's post was provided by Amy Holderby, Director of University Admission at Cedarville University. Amy has served at Cedarville for 16 years and also has experience as a high school guidance counselor. Listen to an archive of her webinar entitled "Helping Your Student Choose a College."
"Begin with the end in mind." That's good counsel for just about anything in life. Having a vision and a purpose allows us to stay focused on the end goal.
When colleges make admissions decisions, they are seeking to admit students "with the end in mind." Specifically, will they be successful in their college experience and able to achieve their educational goals at the institution?
Colleges should develop a student into a highly educated and positive contributor to society. Christian colleges intentionally design experiences that develop students into all God has created them to be — spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, and professionally.
Admissions criteria, then, are used as guidelines to help admissions officers determine if a student has the "raw materials" to meet the University's stated outcomes for graduates.
Remember: Graduating — on time — is one of the best ways a college can help you significantly reduce college costs. Last year Cedarville University's graduation rate was second highest among all institutions included in U.S.News & World Report's listing of top Midwest regional colleges.
At Cedarville University, when our admissions counselors review an application for admission, they are looking for students who will most likely graduate and have the best chance of developing the traits exemplified by the University portrait statements. This means that we are looking for students who already possess a vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ and have a "track record" of serving Him in the local church and community.
Being an educational institution, we must also ensure that admitted students have the intellectual ability and motivation to thrive at our institution. Students who do not meet these benchmarks will struggle to the point that their college experience is overwhelming, and the data shows they are most likely to drop out altogether.
So, as a parent of a potential college student, begin with the end in mind. Realistically assess the abilities God has instilled in your child and then begin to look for the post-high school experience that can best shape and sharpen those gifts. Have a vision for how God can use your child to impact this world for Christ.
P.S. It's not too late to apply for Fall 2014! If your student is considering Cedarville University, encourage them to apply online as soon as possible. If they apply this weekend, we'll waive the application fee! We are glad to discuss our admissions criteria with you in greater detail, if you have questions.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|No chlorinator , My water system has been up and running for a couple of weeks , going to do a water test in about 2 months again to compare my test . My tank is not set-up yet , thinking of making a 2x4 pressure treated frame to put my stand on fig. I will use lag bolts to hold together if I can. Was thinking of re sanding and staining my Oak stand while I wait.
|No chlorinator?
|Will I just place my order for a 80,000 Grain water Softener for the house . So now I have 2 Big Blue's 20in whole filters {1 sediment and 1 10 micron charcoal filter} , water softener and and RO for drinking and frige. Some time I might get another RO for my fish tanks and maybe a holding tank to do water changes, going to wait another month before having to do another water test.
It would be interesting to see a water report now that the well has been in more constant use.
If the red film had time to build up, but is disappearing, perhaps the water was not being used much and the minerals had a chance to precipitate? And now that you are running more water it is dissolving those minerals and carrying them away.
Maybe there is not as high a mineral level as it seemed just looking at the plumbing.
|Will I moved into our New House just before Christmas , I notice the toilets had a red color film and it went away after a couple of weeks later . I'm planning on getting another water test done but for now I think I will clean my tank out real good and replant .
My plumber thinks I should wait until the well pump has been turn on and the water run for a while to do another water test to make sure I need a good water softener with back
flush system
I elevated the 'garage shelving' system so the tanks on the bottom shelf would siphon by gravity, but having the steel off the floor is still a good idea.
I wish I had elevated some of the cabinetry stands, too. I suppose I still could, one at a time...
Will my basement should not get damp , I've got a brand new heating system that has a build in dehumidifier. I like the idea of keeping my wood stands off the concrete with pressure treated wood. I just got my 2 big blue 20" pre filters
"monster looks" my water heater get's installed today and still waiting on the softener. I hope it's enough to get my hardness and other readings down in my water .
If you set up a sub floor consider running heating through it. Heated pipes all over the place in the sub floor could really help!
My fish room is more of a greenhouse style, and I am having heating issues. I sure wish I had the money to elevate the floor and plumb it for heat!
I several stands in there:
Factory built cabinet style stands
DIY wood stands
Concrete block stands.
Steel shelving with plywood shelves (came with particle board which did not last at all)
The floor gets wet, but does not stay wet. Still, the factory cabinet stands are showing a bit of damage from the dampness. My home made wood stands are holding up just fine. Different sort of wood. Of course the concrete block stands have no problem when the floor is damp. The steel stands are OK, they are actually up on concrete blocks. There is a hint of rust here and there, but so little that it is not a problem at this point. If I take down any of these they can be sanded and re-painted.
Make sure you get 'ground contact' pressure treated wood. There are different grades sold in different areas. Talk to a proper lumber expert about what is the best for your area. In our area we use ACQ .40 for most ground contact, but ACQ .60 is available, if it is specified by an engineer. I do landscape design that involves quite a bit of construction, including retaining walls and other things that are in contact with the soil.
|Nice setup wkndracer That's basically how I want to setup with a water storage tank of 100g or more . I have the whole basement to set-up {Man Cave} I'm having a utility room where everything is being put in and my aquarium tanks will be setup around . I got 28'x54' to work with but it's not heated this year. One question thou is concrete floor do I lay a sub floor first before setting up the fish tanks will it handle the weight? I thought of doing a 2"x4" or 2"x6" pressure treated base for my tank stands to keep them off the concrete floor.

With multiple tanks scattered throughout my home a central system hard piped wasn't for me. Wife didn't want it in the mud room either.
Mine was a well water quality issue and I gained a tremendous amount of my information on eBay trying to decide what I wanted in a system. The vendors are indeed a great source of info trying to sell products. Ask questions and the answers fly to your inbox.
My needs (I felt) included a 100g reserve in storage. I installed the system in the detached garage (keeps my wife happy as its not in the laundry room).
Set it up down stream of the whole house Kinetco system (salt regen) water softener. Insulated the tank with black rubber leaving a 2 1/2" gauging gap marked at 5gal. intervals. Through a bulk head fitting on top is installed a 400 watt heater for Florida's short winter and an air pump. A float switch in the storage tank and pressure switch in the supply line shuts off the supply booster pump and supply water. The product water discharge pump is a Surflo Demand Pump - 115v with 1/2 inch male threads, 45 p.s.i. and 3.3 gallons per minute rated discharge anchored to the floor under the laundry sink.
The RO is a 6 stage. Wall mounted above the laundry sink with the waste water fed to a flower bed outside the shop wall rather than the sink drain.
With the booster pump on the supply side I get almost a 1:1 ratio taking the 191 (or more) TDS input to 1 or 2ppm TDS discharge. The booster pump gets credit for the increased ratio pushing 80-85 psi system pressure (needle bounces). The gauge is between the last filter can and the membrane housing, right in front of the pump.
The final stage UV sterilizer gives me peace of mind on my storage water after reading concerns about bacteria content in well supplied systems and also possible bacteria build up in the filters themselves.
The water storage tank (105g) is from a local commercial supply and was just over $150.00. Food grade with a vented and threaded lid along with the lower bulkhead that's connected to the discharge pump.
Drinking water safe hose and a valved nozzle are used to transport water to the tanks. (yes I drag a hose)
I really like the Surflo demand pump with the pressure switch built in for filling my tanks simply for the fact it shuts off rather than running dead headed is why I bought it. I'll drain and clean a tank then move to the next one without a trip out to shut off the supply pump.
Another thought in the design of the system was rather than allowing it to continuously refill the reservoir I prefer to shut the water supply off once it's filled and turn off the power supply switch. This bottles up my RO filter wet between uses and removes power from all devices. Also it forces me walk out and manually restart the reservoir fill. Flushing the membrane surface after every 100 gallons of produced product water by using a bypass flush before the reservoir is refilled. It makes me do my maintenance cycle on the membrane doing it this way LOL. I have only replaced one membrane in three years of use.
Currently maintaining >840g in total aquarium volume in house.
More cost on some of the components used but felt that was warranted.
The membrane and housing are SpectraPure brand.
I thought of adding a by-pass after my pre filters witch are 2 - 20" Big Blue filters
1. Sediment
2. Carbon Block
both are 5 microns
My drinking RO system has a 3.0 g holding tank and will be after my water softener and will be hook up to the frig and sink.
|I have my unit before the softener and have never had a problem yet. I put my unit after the first sediment filter that the whole house uses. However, I'm moving and I'm trying to get hooked up after the softener but space isn't allowing for that.
|Check the RO unit you want. It is my understanding that the RO membranes wear out faster if they are processing water that is high in calcium, so installing the RO after a sodium exchange water softener is a good idea.
So I should run a RO System after water softener for aquarium use?

CHICAGO — The Rangers never got a chance to challenge the Chicago Blackhawks in last season's Stanley Cup Final, having been eliminated by Tampa in seven games a week earlier.
But after the Hawks raised their third championship banner in six years at United Center on Wednesday, the Blueshirts got off on the right foot this season, building a two-goal lead in the first period and hanging on for the next 40 minutes for a 3-2 win.
On the first night of the NHL season, Henrik Lundqvist, in his first start after being sharp in three preseason appearances, stymied the Hawks in the third period, making 32 saves.
With 1:19 left, the Hawks pulled Corey Crawford and Jonathan Toews...

King & Walters State offer reverse transfer agreement
Agreement will help students earn degree
MORRISTOWN, Tenn. - ***UPDATE***
King University and Walters State Community College (WSCC) announced the signing of a reverse transfer agreement between the institutions during a news conference held Monday, Sept. 23, at Walters State Community College in Morristown, Tenn.
The reverse transfer program will be available to WSCC students who have transferred to King University from WSCC prior to the completion of their associate degree program.
"We are delighted to further extend the collaborative and long-standing relationship we have enjoyed with our partners at Walters State Community College," says Dr. Greg Jordan, president of King University. "This is an excellent opportunity for students to achieve their dreams of college completion at both the associate and baccalaureate levels."
Upon transfer to King University, students who have completed a minimum of 21 semester hours toward their associate degree at any WSCC location will be eligible for the reverse transfer program.
"The goal of the Tennessee Complete College Act of 2010 and Governor Haslam's 'Drive to 55' initiative is to increase the number of Tennesseans with college degrees," says Dr. Wade McCamey, president of Walters State Community College. "This agreement with King University will greatly enhance our collective efforts to meet this very important goal by improving the retention and graduation rates of our students."
King University and WSCC have a proven partnership in helping students attain their baccalaureate degree. Since 2009, King has offered classes on WSCC's Morristown and Sevierville campuses. The existing articulation agreement between the two schools is designed to ensure a seamless transition for students transferring from community college to a bachelor's-level institution.
"The reverse transfer creates a mechanism to send information to WSCC from King so those students who first attended WSCC can be awarded their associate degree through remaining course requirements completed at King," says Matt Roberts, chief academic officer and dean of academic affairs for King University.
Since 2003, 872 students from WSCC have transferred to King University to continue their academic path.
"Earning an associate's degree is an important educational milestone and credential that enhances a student's marketability in the job market," says Dr. Lori Campbell, vice president for academic affairs at Walters State Community College. "This partnership will give our students the opportunity to complete their associate's degree while earning a four-year degree. We are looking forward to working together with students who have transferred to King."
Currently, King has articulation agreements with nine community colleges — five in Tennessee and four in Virginia — including Northeast State Community College, Walters State Community College, Pellissippi State Community College, Roane State Community College, Nashville State Community College, Virginia Highlands Community College, Mountain Empire Community College, Southwest Virginia Community College and Wytheville Community College.
"Reverse transfer is a great opportunity for our students," says Jon Harr, associate dean for academic affairs and campus dean for Knoxville at King University. "The student earns another credential, and retention rates are higher for students who receive an associate degree through reverse transfer."
According to a June 2011 article in The Chronicle of Higher Education, "Reverse Transfer Programs Reward Students and Colleges Alike," authors Donna Ekal and Paula M. Krebs state, "Up go the graduation rates at the community college, up goes the self-esteem of the newly credentialed student, and up goes the retention rate at the university: It's the ultimate win-win situation."
According to the Tennessee Higher Education Commission's 2012 Articulation and Transfer Report, among private institutions in Tennessee, King currently ranks number one in the receipt of transfer students from community colleges and number three in the total number of transfers received.
In a January 2013 news release, Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam commented on his new higher education initiative, Drive to 55.
"Over the past six months, I've spent a lot of time learning from experts in our state and across the country about the challenges we face in higher education," Haslam said. "Only 32 percent of our state's adult population has a post-secondary degree, but if we are going to have a workforce that's job-ready, we need to be at 55 percent by 2025. The conversation needs to be about K (kindergarten) to J with the 'J' meaning jobs."
"King has always enjoyed a wonderful working relationship with Walters State Community College," says Roberts. "That spirit of cooperation continues with our reverse transfer agreement. As a result of the agreement, WSCC will see an increase in its graduation rate, King should see its retention rate increase, and our students will earn a valuable credential on their way to the completion of a bachelor's degree. Also, this agreement will not only provide for an exceptional education for students, but it will improve economic development for the region."
A joint announcement that will benefit students in our region is expected Monday from King University and Walters State Community College.
That announcement happens at 2:00pm on Walters State's campus in Morristown, Tennessee.
Look for more on this announcement later.

I'm planning on purchasing a gauntlet kit soon and recently I saw a photo of a gauntlet that was hinged. Do these hinges come with some kits and not others, or is the hinge something we have to scrounge for seperately? Then how are they installed? A tutorial would be helpful if one exists, anyone have a link? Thanks.

About Molokai
Imagine the Hawaii of the past. Unspoiled country and untouched beaches. No skyscrapers or stoplights. The chance to truly live as the locals do. That's Molokai today.
Hawaii's fifth-largest island, Molokai is only 61 kilometres long and 16 kilometres across at its widest point. Molokai is home to the highest sea cliffs in the world along its northeast coast (1,100-1,200 metres) and Hawaii's longest continuous fringing reef (45 kilometres) off Molokai's southern coast. On foot, by bike or by 4-wheel drive, this is an island of outdoor adventure. Take the road less traveled and get red dirt in your shoes whether you're hiking along the 520-metre cliffs leading to Kalaupapa National Historical Park or discovering Papohaku Beach, one of Hawaii's biggest white sand beaches.
With a high percentage of its population being of Native Hawaiian ancestry, Molokai is place where Hawaiian culture thrives. The people of Molokai continue to preserve their rural lifestyle thanks to their love of the land, or aloha aina, and you can feel this aloha from small town Kaunakakai to sacred Halawa Valley. Hawaii's past comes alive on Molokai.

Older Adults and Alcohol: You Can Get Help
For family, friends, and caregivers
Marisol, John, and Thelma are all in a support group for people who have friends or family with a drinking problem. During a group meeting, they share their concerns and listen to what their group leader, Ted, suggests for how to help someone with a drinking problem.
Marisol: It's hard to know what to do. When I try to talk to my friend about his drinking, he gets very upset and changes the subject. I want to help him, but I don't want to lose him as a friend.
John: I'm worried that my mother takes a lot of medicines and still drinks. I have no idea if her doctor knows this. I wonder if I should say something to her doctor, but I don't want to betray my mother's trust. I wonder how I can get her to talk to the doctor about the drinking.
Thelma: Sometimes I think I shouldn't say anything about my uncle's drinking. Then something happens, like last week he fell and bruised his arm and face. I'll bet he was drunk. How am I supposed to ignore that? I just don't know if I should get involved or leave it up to his daughter. She does not seem to notice he has a problem.
Ted: You can't force someone to get help, but there are steps you can take to help.
Step 1: Talk.
- Talk about your worries when the person is sober. Try to say what you think or feel, like "I am concerned about your drinking."
- Give facts. Some people find it helpful just to get information. You could say, "I want to share some things I've learned about older adults and alcohol."
- Try to stay away from labels like "alcoholic."
- Ask if you can go to the doctor with your family member or friend.
Step 2: Offer your help.
- Suggest things to do that don't include drinking.
- Encourage counseling or attending a group meeting. Offer to drive to and from these support meetings.
- Give your support during treatment.
Step 3: Take care of yourself.
- You need support, too. Think about what you need to stay safe and healthy.
- Involve other family members or friends so you are not in this alone. Talk honestly about how you are feeling. Try to say what support or help you need.
- Try going to counseling or special meetings that offer support to families and friends of people with drinking problems. There may be programs at your local hospital or clinic. For example, Al-Anon is a support group for friends and family of people with a drinking problem. Find a meeting near you by calling 1-888-425-2666.

Spin that Webb young Davis
They have a guy at 3rd base who the team has been lobbying to get a lifetime ban. All because its in their interest to dump a horrible contract that they agreed to. But in the meantime...there he is at 3rd. Nothing they can do about it.
The only reason they are having him in uniform is because the union would scream bloody murder if they didn't.
THAT...is some f'd up crap my friend.

text: Performances that captivate the audience from the very first second are few and far between. What comes to my mind at the moment is Anissina and Pezeirat's 'Romeo and Juliet' - the drama, passion and emotion all conveyed in movement. I remember being so enamored by it when I saw it as a kid. I really miss this kind of free dance. I also love Berezhnaya and Sikharulidze's 'Lady Caliph' short program. The connection between the two skaters was very much palpable. Lu Chen's 'Spring Breeze' was delightful as well, reminding me that sometimes the most simple of things can be the most beautiful. She exuded eleganceon ice. Fumie Suguri's 'Moonlight Sonata' had brilliant choreography - the two Ina Bauers at the beginning really set the mood for the whole program. Miki Ando's 'Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence' had nice choreographic touches to it as well that were really effective. It remains to be my favorite short program of hers. Most recently, Midori Ito's performance to 'Whisper of the River' in Oberstdorf was such a delight to see - I felt honored to be able to watch it (even just on youtube). The joy in her skating has never faded even after all these years. What is your favorite opening choreography in a program?

I just posted a bunch of pics of the two quilts we made for my Aunts in AZ in the Quilts made with vintage machines thread.
{ Quilts made using vintage machines! } Post # 1098.
I just wanted to make sure you all had a chance to see them. It's kind of nice to finish something like this.
