Legislative Agenda for the 114th Congress
United Cerebral Palsy (UCP), The Arc, the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD), the American Network of Community Options and Resources (ANCOR), the Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD), and the National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities (NACDD) envision a nation whose high expectations for all of our citizens with disabilities make possible the fulfillment of academic potential, productive employment in the community, active engagement in civic life, and full inclusion in society. The Americans with Disabilities Act (1990) and the U.S. Supreme Court in the 1999 Olmstead decision affirmed the right of people with disabilities to a life in the community.
For decades, Congress has been taking important steps to secure that right and achieve that vision. Now – even under daunting fiscal constraints – is not the time to halt that forward movement. The vision is not only just, but affordable. People with disabilities want to live, work, pay taxes, and be productive and fully included in their communities. People would rather live in the community than in nursing homes or institutions.
We can accomplish the goals laid out in this Public Policy Agenda. Our members are working hard with federal, state, and local partners to redirect taxpayer dollars within redesigned systems and policies realigned to achieve the outcomes all Americans want: dignity, meaningful choice, and the opportunity to contribute and to succeed.
We look forward to working with Congress to achieve these goals.
What is The Role of Federal Policy in Disability?
For many decades, the six national disability advocacy organizations that endorse the legislative agenda contained in this document have recognized the vital role the federal government plays in the everyday lives of children and adults with developmental disabilities and their families. From civil rights protections to community housing, from special education to Social Security benefits, from job training to basic health care, from transportation to long-term supports and services and more, the federal government spends billions of dollars, both directly and in partnership with state government, on people with developmental disabilities. These programs are funded though entitlement programs such as Medicaid and Medicare and discretionary programs such as vocational rehabilitation, HUD housing, and education. Many families and even some professionals in the field are, however, unaware of the huge impact of this federal funding since most of it flows through state and local governments.
State and local governments, particularly during economic crises like our nation is now experiencing, are increasingly dependent on federal dollars. In addition to providing funding for disability benefits, services, and supports, the federal government also monitors state and local governments to assure quality services and protection against the abuse of various civil rights. It also conducts research and prevention programs, improves preparation and response in major emergencies, and collects vital data on disability.
State and local governments and the private and non-profit sectors cannot replace the funding and other roles played by the federal government in disability policy. Therefore, people with disabilities, their families and advocates, and the disability service system are committed to helping protect, enhance, and modernize the federal approach to disability policy.
It is critical that, in all of their actions, Congress, as well as state and local governments, adhere to the principles established by landmark legislation for people with disabilities – the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) of 1975 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. Both of these laws embody the fundamental values eloquently expressed in the Developmental Disabilities and Bill of Rights Act of 2000:
"Disability is a natural part of the human experience that does not diminish the right of individuals with developmental disabilities to live independently, to exert control and choice over their own lives, and to fully participate in and contribute to their communities through full integration and inclusion in the economic, political, social, cultural, and educational mainstream of United States society."
The legislative agenda on the following pages sets forth Critical and Priority goals that the U.S. Congress needs to respond to in this Congress.
What is a Developmental Disability?
Developmental Disabilities are physical or mental impairments that begin before age 22 and alter or substantially inhibit a person's capacity to do at least three of the following:
- Take care of themselves (dress, bathe, eat, and other daily tasks)
- Speak and be understood clearly
- Learn
- Walk/Move around
- Make decisions
- Live on their own
- Earn and manage an income
Some common types of developmental disabilities are cerebral palsy, intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, and epilepsy.
What is an Intellectual Disability?
Intellectual disability is a disability characterized by significant limitations both in intellectual functioning and in adaptive behavior, which covers many everyday social and practical skills. This disability originates before the age of 18. The term intellectual disability covers the same population of individuals who were diagnosed previously with mental retardation in number, kind, level, type, and duration of the disability and the need of people with this disability for individualized services and supports. Furthermore, every individual who is or was eligible for a diagnosis of mental retardation is eligible for a diagnosis of intellectual disability.
Most federal laws that serve people with disabilities through established eligibility categories use the term "mental retardation." In 2010, the President signed Rosa's Law, which directed the substitution of the term "intellectual disability" in federal education, health, and labor laws; however, the term remains in other federal laws. The Congress should substitute the term "intellectual disability" for the term "mental retardation" whenever a law that uses that term is subject to reauthorization. This change should not in any way alter eligibility requirements or service availability since the change in terms is not intended to do so. However, because court decisions and federal law regarding the death penalty use the term "mental retardation," that term should remain in use until the official disability classification systems conform to the use of the term "intellectual disability."

It's all relative guys As an example the salaries in china have risen 2 or 3 times what they were a few years ago due to the cost of living increasing – in china the monthly cost of all utilities (gas, electricity and water) is $40 and for the usa it is $196 for an average apartment. The consumer price index (cost of living) for Norway is 151, for india it is 33 so you can't really expect the salaries in india to be the same as norway.

MRMdesigns saidI'm from Lithuania!!
In Lithuania minimal salary a year is about 3500 dollars and average about 8500 dollars. Of course, for programmers it's probably bigger, but don't know how much…
I'm from Lithuania, also never had a real job, but got some job offers for wp developer position. Refused them all. Why? Offers were like 900$/month, tops.
Also, my good friend works for an international company as a ruby developer. He just got promoted and earns like 1k$/month. You do the math.
Freelancing is the way to go here, in Lithuania.
Oh, and btw, gas in Lithuania costs like ~5.5$/gallon

Can a judgement creditor attach a debtor's income tax refund?
Question Details:
I am a landlord and I recently won a judgement in court. I can garnish the tenant's wages, but what about their income tax return?
You can't take ther actual refund. It will be sent the debtor directly by the government. The general rule is that a creditor (other than the government and only in limited cases) cannot seize or garnish such monies directly. However, once your debtor do receive it and deposits it into a bank account, for example, then as long as you have a valid judgement against them, you can garnish such funds. The fact is that, you can garnish any other non-exempt funds in it has well.
At this point you should discuss all of this with an attorney that specializes in collection matters. They can best guide you through all state procedures and requirements for the garnishment of a bank account.


text: WASHINGTON, Sept. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Hawaii Department of Education's Extended Learning Opportunities and Student Support section has chosen Blackboard Learn™ 9.1 to replace an open source learning management system (LMS) Blackboard Inc. (Nasdaq: BBBB) announced today. The platform provides online courses for over 1,200 students through the Hawaii Virtual Learning Network-ESchool (HVLN-ESchool) and over 500 teachers annually through the HVLN-Project Inspire program. Prior to moving to Release 9.1, HVLN utilized an open source platform to deliver online content. But the need for additional features, easy customizations, and greater functionality prompted them to explore options for a more robust LMS platform. HLVN also anticipated an increase in student and teacher enrollments, suggesting the need for an enterprise capable implementation. HLVN formed a selection committee to evaluate several LMS options to find the best fit to support student and teacher needs. The committee found that the Release 9.1 platform offered both cost efficiency and enhanced usability in a fully hosted solution including a streamlined approach to course delivery, content management and technical support. "The evaluation conducted by HVLN was a complete assessment of teaching and learning needs, cost comparisons and product performance," said Brett Frazier, Senior Vice President at Blackboard. "It's exciting to see a learning platform approach that is well aligned with the strategic goals of a statewide program and helps students, teacher and faculty members engage with one another to promote student success." HVLN has already leveraged Release 9.1 to deliver online professional development options to over 500 teachers during the last year. This online professional learning community is now enhanced through the consortium provision of faculty courses, such as online teaching training. Starting this fall, HVLN began delivering secondary courses to over 1,000 students. Schools are utilizing the branding features to customize the system's interface to create an accessible portal for all online learning resources. In addition, parents can directly access their child's course progress in real time rather than waiting for the online instructor to provide a progress report.

DC Drops Non-Conference Clash to Trine
Related Links
DEFIANCE, Ohio – Kirk Jesse homered and knocked out three hits on Wednesday afternoon but it was not enough, as Defiance fell, 13-4, to Trine in a midweek non-conference matchup. The home run was the first of the season for Jesse.
The Jackets sent nine pitchers to the mound in the loss and used the strategy to keep the Trine bats off balance throughout much of the game. The Thunder broke loose in the seventh however, rallying for nine runs to break open the game.
Prior to the nine-run outburst, Defiance had narrowed a 4-0 deficit to a single run with three scores in the bottom of the sixth inning. The one-out rally was started by consecutive hits off the bats of Nick Welling, Tim Pitro and Jesse to load the bases. Alex Timofeev then smacked a two-out single to cut the Trine lead in half and a dropped pop up then allowed Jesse to come around to score DC's third run of the frame.
The momentum for Defiance would be short lived however, as Trine countered with the nine spot in its next at bat to take a commanding, 13-3, advantage. Jesse's homer to left-center field in the eighth capped the scoring and closed out the highlights in the 13-4 defeat.
Jesse was the story on offense for the Yellow Jackets, going 3-5 with a home run and two runs scored. The big day raised Jesse's batting average for the season to a hefty .377. Michael Dushane also had a multi-hit game, collecting a pair of hits in five trips to the plate.
Defiance (4-13, 1-3 HCAC) will continue its five-game homestand on Friday when it hosts Franklin (9-6, 2-2 HCAC) at 4:00 pm. The game will be the first of three with the Grizzlies, preceding a twinbill on Saturday beginning at 12:00 pm.

|The following description is based upon fieldwork conducted in 1991 at Malimbong, Rembon, in the district of Saluputti, Tana Toraja. The article focuses on the ritual art of making an effigy of an old woman called Ne' Bine' (80 years old) who died in 1989 and was given a high class (rapasan) funeral ceremony which was still based on aluk to dolo in 1991.
The rites and wood material of the tau-tau may vary from region to region and in accordance with the social status of the deceased. Some people are permitted only to have tau-tau lampa, 'the temporary effigy which is made of bamboo'. Others may afford to have tau-tau made of kapok tree. The high class people may have an effigy which is made of jackfruit tree.
When the carving is finished the rite of massabu is performed to mark the completion of the effigy. This part is the symbolic enactment of the birth of the noble lady. One pig is sacrificed for an offering to the deities and ancestors. The performance of this rite marks the beginning of a number of activities for the coming big ritual.
The eulogy further talks about the second phase of life, focusing on the growth of the noble lady from childhood to maturity, her agricultural activities and ritual achievements in this world (lino). Within the ritual context of carving an effigy, such growth is symbolically enacted in the rite of cutting the hair (ma'ku'ku') for the first time, the rite of giving attire to the effigy (ma'pake), and the rite of betrothal (ma'pasa' tau-tau).
The rite of cutting the hair signifies nobility and marks the separation from the previous world. In this ritual event one pig is sacrificed, the meat of which is used as offerings for deities and ancestors.
Once this is over the effigy is given attire and accessories according to sex (ma'pake). The effigy is dressed in traditional Toraja clothing and the use of such costumes symbolize maturity. Over her head is placed a folded sarong (lullung) which indicates the style from that area. Around her head is tied the sa'pi' (a kind of ornament made from beadwork and silver), the front part of her head is given ornament consisting of strips of bamboo with curly ends (pangngarru'), spangles of goldleaf (tida-tida), and chicken feathers (bulu manuk) . A necklace (manik kata) beautifies her neck, and around her waist is tied the beadwork (ambero). Over her shoulder a small pouch containing betel nuts (sappa manik) is hung.

But more often conflict creates free-fall, which will define the 2012 Pittsburgh Steelers if they can't beat the Cincinnati Bengals in a game today that will likely determine a wildcard playoff berth.
The Steelers have lost two in a row and four of their last five. And after throwing a game-deciding interception in overtime, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger criticized offensive coordinator Todd Haley's play-calling.
Roethlisberger walked into Haley's office on Monday and apologized, and at the time Haley didn't know why. That's how little the media matters to him.
"There are going to be ups and downs and frustrations," Haley said. "But it's never been an issue of being on the same page."
Are the Steelers still a team in conflict? Has the Roethlisberger-Haley dust-up faded? Or was it merely the projection of a hopeful media?
That's the question for the scuffling 7-7 Steelers today as they host a red-hot 8-6 Cincinnati Bengals team that's won five of its last six games.
"Well, your scuffles get over in a week and so can your hotness," said Bengals coach Marvin Lewis. "What happened last week doesn't matter a bit for this game. We know we're playing a very good team led by a great quarterback, and we've got to play well."
The Bengals had fallen to 3-4 after a 24-17 loss to the Steelers in Cincinnati. And after their ensuing bye week they fell to 3-5 with an 8-point loss to the Denver Broncos.
And then the Bengals got hot. It has coincided with the increased productivity of a running game that was ranked 25th in the NFL after Game 9 but is now ranked 11th.
"It helps to have A.J. Green out there on the edge," said Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden. "Teams are doubling him with a safety, giving us one less guy to block."
That will certainly be the case for the Steelers' defense today. It comes into the game without its No. 1 cornerback, Ike Taylor, and a No. 2 cornerback in Keenan Lewis who left last week's game after aggravating a hip flexor injury and who missed most of this week's practices after aggravating the injury on Wednesday.
Lewis promised to play, but there's little doubt the Steelers will need a safety over the top to keep Green from beating them deep.
So the next point of emphasis for coordinator Dick LeBeau will be stopping BenJarvus Green-Ellis, who's averaged 108.6 rushing yards in the Bengals' last five games.
Green-Ellis has passed the 1,000-yard barrier for the second time in his career with 1,080. His feat of four 100-yard games in the last five hasn't been accomplished by a Bengal since Paul Robinson did it in the franchise's inaugural 1968 season.
Green-Ellis is a 220-pounder who leads the NFL with 14 third-and-1 conversions.
The Steelers held him to 69 yards on 18 carries in the previous meeting, and 9 yards on 5 carries last season when he shared duties with Kevin Faulk with the New England Patriots.
Conversely, the Steelers have gone cold along with their running game. They've averaged only 71 yards rushing the last four games, or since Willie Colon and Mike Adams were injured.
Colon is on injured reserve, replaced by first-round pick David DeCastro, and Adams is listed as doubtful this week, replaced by seventh-round draft pick Kelvin Beachum.
The rookies will line up on the right side against the strength of the Bengals' defense, linemen Geno Atkins and Carlos Dunlap.
"They are a matchup that is as good as any we've seen all year," said Haley. "We have to play our best game up front, and handle them in the run and pass."
Because the Steelers do not possess the manpower required to run the ball effectively, they'll likely try to outscore the Bengals with their passing game.
So, the big question remains: Can conflict be a good thing?
"Yeah," Haley said with a laugh. "You are talking to arguably one of the most confrontational, at least perception-wise.
"I think healthy conflict, discussion, banter, is good. It gets you to the right place. It gets everybody on the same page and where you need to be. Like I've said a number of times, when I make a call into Ben's ear in the game, I am putting complete faith in him to make it a good call or the best call it can be. The same for him, when he hears my voice, he has to trust and believe that the play coming in is giving him and us the best chance to succeed. You develop that through these Sunday battles and battles against other teams. That's where the trust and camaraderie develops. That's what has occurred.
"There are going to be ups and downs because there is emotion, and there is a lot at stake every single week for all of us. We've put a lot of time, effort and sacrifice into this. That's just the way it is. I think a little bit of healthy conflict is a good thing."

The pilot was giving me the thumbs up, I would have reciprocated but I was busy trying to stop the bleeding in my right ear. I beeped three times and we were off. I instantly pulled about 2 car lengths on him but he started catching up and at about 300 mph he was 1.5 car lengths on me. He seemed surprised that a Cadillac could keep up with him.

True Friend
Is this what Jakob Dylan was talking about?
Somebody in this office keeps filling my electrical outlets with superglue, and my co-workers insist they haven't seen a thing. My wife says she just sleeps better when she she spends the night at a motel, but she won't tell me which one. I found a REPLACEMENT SON WANTED ad on Craigslist with my mom's email address.
But there's one guy who never lets me down. No matter how many times life punches me in my soft nether regions, Scott Harvey keeps on coming through with wines like the eminently irresistible InZINerator. Complex yet big, bold with just a touch of sweetness, InZINerator proves, once again, that Scott Harvey will never let me down.
I wonder if he'd consider adopting me.

Well, you've stepped into a very impressive tattoo Tuesday. Our weekly feature keeps picking up steam, and I'm constantly amazed by your pop-culture ink.
First things first: SEND YOUR TATTOO PHOTOS! It's easy: Just e-mail pics to email@example.com with your name, city and a brief description of the art. Look for it on a Tuesday. (A Tattoosday, if you will.)
Today we begin with some awesome Doctor Who art from superfan Alan in Odessa, Texas. He says he often gets asked about the TARDIS on his arm. "I usually just tell people it's a phone booth. They never ask why it's blue."
Alan also has a Who Dalek on his leg. "It's my favorite," he says. "Doctor Who is one of my favorite things ever." We can tell!
Alan sent another tattoo pic of these Green Lantern circles. "It's incomplete," he says. "Green is willpower, red is anger, black is death and yellow is fear."
Finally, Alan continues the tattoo tour of his body with this reference to Stephen King's Dark Tower. "The weird writing means 'unfound,' and is placed under a door that takes a character to where he's supposed to be. I always loved the destiny aspect of it."
Mike S. in Egg Harbor Township, N.J., sent this pic of his Spider-Man tattoo. Nice.
And how about this one from Eric S. (beatlefreak) in Glenmont, N.Y.?
"The Beatles have been my favorite band/obsession since I was 2 years old," he says. "I got the idea for the tattoo when I saw a replica newspaper ad for the White Album with each (member's) face in pen outline." He got it done at In Living Color Tattooing in Plattsburgh, N.Y.
Here's a tat of comedian Demetri Martin's "double hawk" drawing. It's a bit from Martin's stand-up act -- and you can also find it on Austin reader Danielle S.'s foot.
I adore this tattoo that adorns Bobby B. in Chicago. It shows his "idol," writer Hubert Selby Jr. (Last Exit to Brooklyn, Requiem for a Dream). Artist Miles Maniaci did the work. Beautiful.
And finally, Kristen W. (kdubs1234) in Hollywood, Calif., sent this amusing tat. She describes it as "fun at a meeting":
Thanks to everyone for the fantastic photos -- please keep 'em coming! Tune in next week for another thrilling edition of Tattoo Tuesday.

Join fellow groundwater professionals at this conference that explores potential resolutions to emerging groundwater issues such as stress on resources from growing populations, increased demand on water used for developing and producing energy, and nanotechnology.
Improving technology, scientific advances, and widely available tools for integrating a variety of datasets for geospatial analysis often appear to be outpaced by new stressors to groundwater resources, such as increased demands from shifting populations, the water/energy nexus, and extreme weather events.
Cutting-edge analytical advances have enabled us to detect more and more minute traces of harmful constituents in our environment, which cause alarm within the general public. However, analytical advances also provide new insights for problem solving, fate and transport of contaminants, and solutions for remediation.
Growing populations create greater stress on groundwater resources from both quantity and quality perspectives. The demand for water used for the development and production of energy, both traditional as well as alternative or green forms, are increasing. Extreme weather events challenge our ability to develop sustainable water management plans, or allocate suitable water resources at critical times.
And the solutions to many groundwater problems will ultimately depend on how we value groundwater.
Sessions cover topics such as the following, to name but a few:
View the full conference program.
Dr. James "Jay" S. Famiglietti, 2012 Birdsall-Dreiss Distinguished Lecturer, will present "Water Cycle Change and the Human Fingerprint on the Water Landscape of the 21st Century: Observations from a Decade of GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment)."
Famiglietti, who holds a joint faculty appointment in Earth System Science and Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Irvine, is the founding director of the UC Center for Hydrologic Modeling. His research group uses satellite remote sensing to track water availability and groundwater depletion on land, and has been working for many years towards improving hydrological prediction in regional and global weather and climate models.
Dr. Gregory Lowry, professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, will make discuss the potential benefits and the challenges facing the application of engineered nanomaterials for in situ groundwater treatment, and also touch on general EHS issues surrounding nanotechnology for groundwater treatment.
Lowry teaches environmental engineering, water quality engineering, environmental fate and transport of organic compounds in aquatic systems, environmental nanotechnology, and environmental sampling and sample characterization. His research interests include mineral-organic macromolecule-water interfacial processes, and transport and reaction in porous media, with a focus on the fundamental physical/geochemical processes affecting the fate of engineered nanomaterials and organic contaminants in the environment. Lowry's current projects include in situ sediment management using innovative sediment caps, DNAPL source zone remediation through delivery of reactive nanoparticles to the NAPL-water interface, and CO2 capture, sequestration, and monitoring.
This panel will share various perspectives on the scientific, political, and economic aspects of what will impact groundwater professionals and society in the future. What factors are most likely to affect the resource availability and sustainability? Are they manmade or natural contaminants? What will be the restrictions on use, maximum contaminant levels, and new prescribed treatments? How will we fund a safe, sustainable groundwater resource?
Panel participants include Robert Mace, Ph.D., Texas Water Development Board, and Gary Gin, RG, City of Phoenix.
Marvin F. Glotfelty, RG, will present "Life-Cycle Economic Analysis of Water Wells — Considerations for Design and Construction."
Glotfelty is cofounder and principal hydrogelogist with Clear Creek Associates, a groundwater consulting firm. During his professional career, he has participated in almost every aspect of the hydrogeologic sciences including recharge projects, water supply studies, water rights issues, groundwater quality, well installation programs, and well rehabilitation projects. He has also given more than 60 presentations on hydrogeologic and water well topics.

Well, I passed away quite a while ago but my dear mom forgot her password on catster and today she got a new one.Hrmmmm, she is nice but soo not into passwords and sites and computers. I love her but....she IS a bit weird.
Ok, I'm off now, see you soon dear pawls and pawlsettes xxxxxx
I have a girlfriend that has the sweetest face and attitude. Her name is Floosie (but I call her FlooZie-lala-paloozie).
She is a persian and she doesn't mind I am not.
She is American and I am Belgian, we have a virtual/pc love affair.
That's ok though, we are both in our "golden years", no kidfluffs or grandkidfluffs, we can enjoy each other completely.
She is a small girl (she says) and I am big and sturdy; that makes us a purrrrfect match.
I just hope she is a bit lazy like me. I like to
sleep (alot)
snuggling with my human mom
occasionally chase my BIG sister, Patts. Now Patts is quite a number, she will be 10 in november but she has the looks and the appearance of a young girl kitten. She is mean to the bone ; she once boxed my ears and blood was showing. I am rather, ermmm, wéll build (Patts says I am fàt). If Patts gets on my nerves I just pounce on her with all of my 7 kilo's.
Boy oh boy, that hissie fit she gets when I do thàt .... eh eh thàt is worth a bloodied ear.
Goodnight for now

caulking & mold
Besides possible spread of mold/mildew & health concerns, is there really any need to recaulk existing caulk that's a bit (but not majorly) moldy? I mean it's not like the caulk will fail & allow water intrusion will it?
Best bet, dig it out and replae it.
If the mildew won't scrub off the surface---but is growing behind the caulk---it is wise to cut out the old caulk and replace--
Mold behind the caulk usually means the bond has failed and is allowing crud to get in there--and grow mold.
Or whatever is behind that caulking is failing. Classic to find drywall used behind tile in a wet area, fails every time.
Any loose tiles, missing grout, do the tiles move when you push on them?

Open daily from 10:00 to 17:45
Open Friday from 10:00 to 22:00
This was a self initiated project . I wanted to produce a map accompanied by scenes from the narrative of Jules Verne's, Journey to the Centre of the Earth. The map illustrates the progression of the narrative of the book. It is rendered in a similar way to informative cut diagrams of the earths layers but it elements are those of the fiction of the narrative, such as the underground ocean that the characters encounter. I wanted the style of the illustrations to be simple and clean, only using two tones, black for line work and yellow to highlight the journey as well as add drama to the scenes.

No, you are not right. Mathematica can do this! Did you search the

I ended up with a saginaw style flange for my hack n tap, since I wanted to do away with the slip yoke before my new driveshaft. Bought a 7/16 rapidcut bit from precision tool and it worked very well, cut like butter once I got through the 1/4" or so of hardening on the end of the output shaft.
Tapping the shaft was a different story. I knew my crappy harbor fright tap would most likely be obliterated in the process, so I purchased a craftsman set for the job.
The craftsman tap started the first few threads but was shortly destroyed, turn over the box and it says made in china. I understand it's tapping harded steel but i figured it would hold up much better than it did. I assumed most of thier stuff was made in the U.S. still? Especially when quality materials are a must i.e. in a tap set.
Luckily the HF taps finished the job and I returned the craftsman set the next day. The store clerk informed me that they are having a ton of problems, and a lot of returns since craftsman has started outsourcing some of their tools to china. Which was the first i have heard of it.

Free lifetime membership
3 Attachment(s)
So a member who was recently upgraded here made a thread about how much they appreciate it. It was very nice to see some people would appreciate something so small, so tell me... Why would you appreciate the free upgrade?
I will pick one person and pay for their membership.
Of course I would appreciate.
That would let me putting me an amazing CerroneY signature and a picture of Greg Jackson with the font of "Go Get Some, Donald Cerroney!".
Seriously, yes, I'll do.
I'm from Chile and I don't know anything about donating money to USA so probably I couldn't upgrade to free lifetime membership. :(
But, yeah, some american or british would appear and because english is his (her) first language can make you a better reason of why you should let him be a lifetime member. ****in' geography.
Why would I appreciate it?

Every nonpaid member posting in this thread would look great in gold and would deserve it. I honestly couldn't pick a favorite:thumbsup:
I will sponsor the 2nd place finisher after this competition.
This is a great idea and really kind gesture, so props to the guys willing to do this.
I wouldn't let someone spend money on me like that so not going to enter, like to win or earn my own stuff and hate putting others out. :)

"Here are some instructions on how to clean your boots. Try to remove any excess dirt from your Timberland post-wear using a soft brush. This doesn't have to be every time you have worn the boots but by keeping on top of this cleaning method, you won't allow the dirt to build up. Using Timberland Boot Sauce Cleaner, apply a small amount to the designated areas. The Boot Sauce features a handy sponge applicator which allows you apply the product easily and to specific areas. Work the gel into the areas before wiping clean with a damp cloth. This Boot Sauce is suitable for all types of footwear, but isn't recommended for nubuck leather or suede. Dry the boot naturally. "

Blood Crave by Jennifer Knight
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Reviewed by Janessa, Age 15
With all of the hype of Vampires and Werewolves, I'm always curious when I will come across a book that just finally makes me say, "no more." Thankfully, this wasn't one of them. This book is packed with supernatural from chapter one to the last page and always keeps the reader anticipating what is yet to come. It was definitely hard to put down.
"Careful, I think your tail is wagging."
See full review at http://www.musingwithcrayolakym.com/3/post/2013/07/blood-crave.html
Lucas, Faith's werewolf boyfriend, believes there is a vampire uprising and is trying to prove it even though the pack leader refuses to believe him. Then Derek, Faith's ex that was turned in revenge, wakes up. The first hybrid vampire/werewolf, no one knows what his abilities are or even if he is going to be sane in the end. Faith is torn in two. She wants to be with Lucas, help explore her abilities and how they interact with Lucas. But she is also pulled to Derek, it is her fault that he is a hybrid and she is trying to do everything possible to help him adjust and to keep Lucas from killing him.
Then the murders start happening again. Something is in the works with the vampires, the question is what. It looks like they are trying to get Derek to go to their side because of how powerful he is. Faith is also trying to go back to her old life, but she is having trouble trying to connect to her old friend, Heather, that has turned to drugs after her breakup with Peter. Faith has got to get her life in order before she ends up on the wrong side of the vampires.
So I have a confession, I have both books in the Blood Moon series but I grabbed the wrong one to read first. I don't have the back story to go off of, but that didn't matter. This Blood Crave was written so well that I didn't have to read the other first, it was easy to figure out what was going on.
I understand Faith's love for Lucas and the dilemma of wanting to be turned or not so she can be with him forever and the whole controlling his triggers. I was a bit miffed at her constantly running to Derek and keeping Lucas from killing him. I understand how she is guilty about his being turned. But really, she is ruining her life over someone that cheated on her and is constantly trying to get between her and her current boyfriend.
I was also irritated about how she keeps thinking that she can just join Lucas or Derek and fight the vampires herself. Did she not remember anything about her fight in the last book? Does she not see what these creatures are capable of? I admit that I was about ready to slap her upside her head with her stupidity. Argh!
Ok, deep breath. Over all, this is a good story. I like the concept and loved the surprise ending. Even though I read them in the wrong order, I really want to see what happened to start Faith's story.
This is one book that I will recommend with the warning to not expect a lot of brain power from Faith.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
Note: There are major spoilers for the first book in this series, Blood on the Moon, but no spoilers for this book, which is Book Two.
Before reading Blood Crave, I re-read Blood on the Moon, because it ended in a cliffhanger, and with those sorts of books, I like to get into the momentum before continuing on with the story.
Blood Crave continues the story of Faith Reynolds, who, like many young pretty girls in books these days, finds her life taken over by interactions with werewolves and vampires.
At first, Faith had a relatively normal life with nothing more to deal with than her best friend Derek, who came with her to attend Colorado State University. Suddenly Derek was trying (again) to turn their friendship into something more. Faith just didn't think she could love Derek in that way.
Moreover, as classes started, she felt an undeniable attraction to Lucas, a very hot and mysterious guy who shared some of her classes. Eventually she discovered Lucas was a werewolf, but she learned that, far from being a monster, he was a protector. She trusts him with her life. …And well she should, because he keeps having to save it! No, not from jealous Derek, but from vampires, and especially one particular vampire, Vincent Stone. Vincent has a 300-year-old feud going on with Lucas, and he figures out that he can get to Lucas by killing Faith (or turning her into a vampire). Lucas is unwilling to let Vincent do either, and he finally manages to get rid of Vincent once and for all - but not before Vincent bites Derek.
At the end of Book One, Faith - desperate to save Derek's life, asks Lucas to bite him too, in the hope that the werewolf bite will cancel out the vampire bite. Will it? Proceed to Book Two!
Blood Crave picks up three weeks after Blood on the Moon left off. Derek is still around, but in a very different form. Faith is torn between loyalty to Derek and love for Lucas. She sometimes longs for her old normal life, but can't imagine a life without Derek or Lucas. Unfortunately, she is painfully aware that she is bound to lose them both eventually, since she has only a human life span, something she thinks about a lot. In any event, there are bigger problems to consider: the vampires are tired of living [sic] in the shadows, and are ready for a showdown with werewolves and humans.
Discussion: Like so many books involving vampires, this story quickly devolves into a morass of vampire politics. Why do so many authors who create blood-sucking, rapacious, greedy characters think of politicians? I can't imagine. At any rate, it's just as distasteful to me and as tedious as American politics are lately. Okay, maybe a little less so….
Fortunately, the author doesn't linger as long on vampire power struggles as much as some other purveyors of the paranormal, and focuses more on the dangerous and exciting aspects of romance between species.
As for the main character, Faith can be annoying: she is impulsive, foolhardy, and not always optimally mature. Ultimately, however, one has to like her: she is loyal, spunky, has a lot of compassion, and great taste in boyfriends.
The author has a very nice sense of humor that acts to surround the paranormal elements with a warm, fuzzy, teenaged vibe. For example, I appreciated how she tackled this plot point in Book One, when Faith asks Lucas why vampires can't come into someone's house unless they are invited: "I don't know why - it's an undead thing. Whatever."
Faith's summing up, in Book Two, of her own situation is quite funny, and nicely accomplishes a recap of what happened in Book One. And all the doggy jokes (that come from characters trying to make deprecatory remarks about werewolves) had me laughing - I love the way one of the characters refers to Lucas as "Scooby," inter alia.
Evaluation: This is a fun series: light, romantic, even sexy. The second book, like the first, ends in a big cliffhanger, one that makes me eager for the third volume.
Note: There is sex in this book, but it's not at all explicit, and at any rate Faith is a college freshman and Lucas is over 300 years old…..

Headstrong heroine Faith Reynolds returns in this thrilling sequel to the paranormal romance Blood on the Moon!
After surviving being kidnapped by a vampire, Faith would just love to focus on some alone time with her hot (though occasionally furry) boyfriend, Lucas. Unfortunately, with a vampire uprising on the horizon and her best friend, Derek, about to wake up and find himself transformed into a half-werewolf, half-vampire being without a beating heart, Faith has a few other things to take care of first.
Faith is not without help, in the form of her newfound powers of sensing people's emotions and being able to influence werewolves' actions, not to mention her begrudging but rather helpful boyfriend. Even so, convincing a werewolf packmaster to prepare for an epic battle may be difficult to do without solid evidence.
Lose yourself once more in the deliciously suspenseful world of werewolves versus vampires, otherworldly boys with deadly charm, and addictive, spine-tingling action and romance!

Special Effects For Our Daily Lives
Core 77 explores the possible every day uses of motion capture technology and digitization.
25 years after Jeff Bridges played the character of Clu, a hacker in the sci-fi movie Tron, comes its sequel Tron: Legacy with Jeff Bridges again playing the same character. So what's so different? Jeff Bridges' actions will be digitized into the younger Jeff Bridges from 25 years back on-screen. Fascinating as it sounds, today's digital technology allows us to play our younger or older versions at any age. While such technology can also be used by Hollywood to digitize and release films with long dead actors playing any movie characters on-screen (with a present day actor enacting the scene in the studio), it may also have consequences in our daily lives.
Core77 explains:
What ramifications might this have for the rest of us outside the film industry? One application I can think of, as the technology trickles down and becomes affordable, is video chat. There's been some debate as to whether or not people will want to "put their face on" for video chatting, but with self-modeled avatars that are always clean-shaven, or wearing makeup, or dressed nicely, perhaps it will become more palatable.
Core77: "Motion capture, digitization, immortality and video chatting"

Anybody have interest in the stormtrooper t-shirt design? I need at least 12 people in order to do this run. Below are the details that I was quoted so far, I want interest first before people start paying.
Cost of shirts are $15.48 for 12-17 shirts
The more people we have the cheaper it gets
example: 18-35 shirt orders we save even more.
Sizes available are S-6XL
From 2XL and larger there is a $1.50 more per size up.
SO from S-XL is $15.48 and 2XL should be then $16.98
I have here included my mock up of the design, I was told that they can't print as wide as I have it on my mock up. But I told him as long as there is not a significant difference. Anways I just emailed them the designs so thats where we are as of now.

US stocks snapped a three-day losing streak Friday after political leaders signaled a determination to compromise to avoid sending the economy over the fiscal cliff.
Shares opened lower but took a jump upwards as the White House opened talks with congressional leaders on closing the deficit and averting the harsh tax hikes and spending cuts slated for January 1.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished up 45.93 points (0.37 percent) at 12,588.31.
The broad-market S&P 500 added 6.55 points (0.48 percent) at 1,359.88, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite shed 16.19 (0.57 percent) at 2,853.13.
President Barack Obama met with congressional leaders from the Democratic and Republican parties to open crunch talks on pulling back from the fiscal cliff, with both sides stressing a willingness to find common ground and craft a long-term deficit reduction plan.
"There is no more, 'let's do it some other time,'" said Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid. "This isn't something we're going to wait until the last day of December to get it done."
"Markets, which have fallen very quickly, want to believe in an agreement" on the cliff, said Gregori Volokhine of Meeschaert New York.
Dell shares plunged 7.5 percent to $8.84, the computer maker falling close to its 2009 post-crash low on weaker-than-expected results for the third quarter.
The company's numbers continued to show signs of assault from the boom in tablets, with third-quarter profit sliding 47 percent from a year ago.
But Dell claimed its new strategy emphasizing software and cloud computing was paying off.
Dell rival Hewlett-Packard meanwhile lost 1.8 percent.
Apple shares, on a slide since September, fell nearly four percent in early trade before rebounding for a 0.4 percent gain at $527.68.
Bond prices were little-changed.
The 10-year US Treasury yield slipped to 1.57 percent from 1.59 percent Thursday, while the 30-year rose was flat at 2.72 percent.
Bond prices and yields move inversely.

The Scheme
The National Indoor Climbing Award Scheme (NICAS) is a UK wide scheme designed to promote climbing development and accredit individual achievement on artificial climbing structures. It can be used as a starting point for people wishing to take up climbing and mountaineering. It is open to all candidates aged 7 and upwards.
The scheme is administered by the Association of British Climbing Walls Training Trust (ABCTT) and is recognised by the British Mountaineering Council, the Mountaineering Council of Scotland and the Mountaineering Council of Ireland
Aims Of The Scheme
- to develop climbing movement skills and improve levels of ability.
- to learn climbing rope-work and how to use equipment appropriately.
- to develop risk assessment and risk management skills in the sport.
- to work as a team, communicate with, and trust a climbing partner.
- to provide a structure for development, motivation and improved performance.
- to develop an understanding of the sport, it's history and future challenges.
- to provide a record of personal achievement.
- to point the way to further disciplines and challenges in climbing beyond the scheme.
Structure Of The Scheme
The Scheme comprises five levels of award aimed at complete novices to expert climbers. The scheme is split into two parts and takes a minimum of one year to complete in its entirety. Part 1 contains Levels 1 to 3 and Part 2 contains Levels 4 and 5. Upon registering with an Awarding Centre candidates receive a log booklet for Levels 1 to 3, with the option to buy a binder. There is a separate booklet for Levels 4 and 5. After achieving each level they are awarded with a certificate on behalf of the ABCTT.
The five levels are:
- New Climber
An entry level aimed at novices that recognises their ability to climb safely under supervision.
- Foundation Climber
Aimed at promoting good practice in climbing and bouldering unsupervised on an artificial wall.
- Technical Climber
A more advanced top roping and bouldering level that focuses on developing technique and movement skills.
- Lead Climber
Concentrates on the skills required to both lead climb and belay a lead climber.
- Advanced Climber
The top level that focuses on improving performance, a deeper understanding of climbing systems and the wider world of climbing.
Further Information
Full details of the scheme can be found in the NICAS handbook.

I tried one out on a friends rifle, to be honest, I couldn't stand it. I like the standard service rifle sights a lot better.

So I read a pretty positive review about this product (http://www.coloradoshooting.org/kns.htm), but I wanted to see if anyone here has experience with one. It's a front sight post for an AR that, well has a crosshair reticle instead of the standard sight post. Here is a pic:

I hate to be the cruel hand of reality slapping you across the face but, someone has to do it.
Life's hard, buy a helmet. You're not going to get coddled around here so get over it.

I guess I don't understand the need for it, the standard front post clutters your sight picture less and should be just as accurate if you're comfortable with the rifle.

Too tacticool for me.
The m4 is a battlerifle. It doesn't need a tuxedo.
Marines have been dropping people at 600 yards on the move with the standard front sight for years. I can't really see a reason to change.
It ain't broke, put down the toolbox. :wink:
Moved to Off Topic.

Thanks for the opinions guys. I had to ask because it doesn't strike me as something that's necessarily tacticool, I mean if it will make it easier to strike a target without requiring mechanical parts or batteries I'm all for it. But I'll take your comments into consideration
"So for our country we will bleed"
Too me "tacticool" means dressing up anything that already does its job with some wizz-bang thingy that may or may not actually improve function.
There are guys here that can shoot high speed movers at 200 yards with a bone stock M4. Will this thingy make them better? I doubt it.
Will this thingy help someone who can't shoot for beans shoot high master? Nope...
Will it make you shoot worse if you were in a combat situation and someone hands you a F Marked front sighted AR? Most likely.
That to me qualifies as tacticool.
So for example, putting a fancy flashlight on your AR isn't tacticool if you really are going to use it for your bedside "bump in the night" gun.
If you just want the Rainbow 6 look, that's fine but to me, it's still tacticool.
I know it sounds like I'm slamming the product, I'm not. I've got plenty of tacticool stuff. None of it happens to be on my guns is all.

One must also question the sturdiness of thin wire cross hairs sticking out on the front of a combat weapon.
The front sight post is silly. But KNS makes a few very good products. I like their oversized fire-control pins and their non-rotating fire-control pins.
So don't mentally discard all of KNS' products
I am going to side with recoil on this one. It looks to be very thin and that could be a bad thing. I am sure if it failed and push came to shove you could "spray and prey" but I never liked that idea, especially if someone's life depended on it.
I am a huge fan of doing whatever you like as long as it is within the law and hurts no one else, but if there is the slightest chance you will use the rifle to defend yourself or others, I would stick with the thing that has been proven time and time again.
The difficulty of armed struggle is to make long distances near and make problems into advantages. Sun Tzu

- - Venison Meatball Soup (http://www.deerhuntersclub.com/forums/wild-game-recipes/7096-venison-meatball-soup.html)
Venison Meatball Soup
This is a recipe that I altered for venison.
1 lb. ground venison
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. garlic
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/3 tsp salt
1/2 large onion finely minced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup crushed saltines or uncooked oatmeal
Mix all ingredients completely and roll out into 3/4" - 1" balls. Add 2 tbsp. of oil to the pot you will make the soup in and heat on medium low heat until you smell to oil get mildly smoky. Add the meatballs and thoroughly crusty brown all sides of the meatballs.
2 12 - 14 oz. cans of beef broth
1 14 oz. can of crushed stewed tomatoes (with chillies) is what I use
2-1/2 large onions coarsely chopped
1 cup water
1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup white or brown rice uncooked or instant
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 package frozen leaf or chopped spinach
1 can drained white or yellow hominy
3 stalks thinly chopped celery
1 large diced carrot 1/4" pieces
1/4 - 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper (optional)
(mushrooms and basil may be added if you'd like)
Add the beef broth and then all other ingredients to the meatballs and bring to a boil. Salt to taste. Turn down to a low heat and cover for an hour or until the carrots are tender. I like to simmer for several hours to allow the flavors to meld.

Alligator Radio
On Monday, March 25, Tom Marker, host of Chicago radio station WXRT-FM's
Blues Breakers
program, will premiere two new songs from Grammy-winning harmonica giant
James Cotton
's upcoming CD,
Cotton Mouth Man
. The CD, to be released on Tuesday, May 7, is a joyous celebration of Cotton's 69 years as a professional musician (beginning at age nine). Recorded in Nashville and produced by Grammy-winning producer/ songwriter/ drummer Tom Hambridge (Buddy Guy, Joe Louis Walker, Susan Tedeschi), the album is a trip through sounds and scenes from Cotton's long and storied career.
Cotton co-wrote seven of the tracks with Hambridge (who co-wrote five additional tracks). The songs were inspired by Cotton's colorful and sometimes perilous life and his memories of the Mississippi Delta, Sonny Boy Williamson II, Memphis, Sun Records, Chicago, and Muddy Waters. Throughout the CD Cotton's blast-furnace harmonica sound and larger-than-life personality are front and center.
Helping Cotton tell his stories and showcase his music are guests Gregg Allman, Joe Bonamassa, Ruthie Foster, Warren Haynes, Delbert McClinton, and Keb Mo. Other vocals are handled by Darrell Nulisch, who has been singing in Cotton's band for many years. Members of Cotton's road band -- Jerry Porter, Noel Neal, and Tom Holland -- are also on board for some songs. Forming the core of the backing band on the CD are Hambridge (drums), Rob McNelley (guitar), Chuck Leavell (keyboards), and Glenn Worf (bass). Tommy MacDonald and Colin Linden each add guitar to one track. Cotton, who after a bout with throat cancer turned the vocal duties over to others, was inspired by the sessions to return to the microphone, singing his own
Bonnie Blue
(the name of the plantation where he was born), and making
Cotton Mouth Man
the most personal, celebratory and just plain fun recording of his seven-decade career.

SOTA Tractors is the Australasian Distributor for Hercules Rollover Protective Structures (Hercules ROPS), one of the premium ROPS brands in the world. A ROPS is a life saving device that can prevent drivers from being crushed when a tractor rolls over. ROPS are mandatory on all tractors.
All models available at SOTA Tractors have been rigorously tested and certified to Australian and International Standards, AS1636 & ISO5700 respectively. We carry Hercules ROPS in stock for many brands of domestic and grey market tractors including Ford, Hinomoto, International, Iseki, John Deere, Kubota, Massey Ferguson, Mitsubishi, Satoh, Yanmar and Zen Noh.
NOTE: Some used tractors currently being sold in Australia are fitted with roll bars that do not comply with an approved Standard. Please note that compliant ROPS must be labeled with the actual test no. and specific details of the test to be compliant with Australian law. Roll bars that are not tested may lead to serious injury or death. Never operate a tractor without a ROPS and do not buy a tractor that has a non-compliant roll bar fitted.
