External Hard Drives: Stay-at-Home Protection
ARTICLE DATE : January 21, 2009
Today's PCs are overburdened with files, files, and more files. Whether digital photos, music, home videos, or downloaded videos, all these files take up a lot of space on your notebook's or desktop's hard drive. Digital photos typically run about 3MB to 5MB, as does each MP3 song on your hard drive (roughly 1MB per minute of music). When you get into videos, each file can run from hundreds of megabytes up to multiple gigabytes.
Today's budget laptops and desktops come with 160GB hard drives at a minimum, and capacities go up from there. I've seen massive multimedia systems with 750GB to 1 terabyte drives that are still in the affordable (sub-$1,000) price range. All of these internal drives fill up eventually, and you'll need a space to keep all of your stuff.
With apologies to the late George Carlin, your computer is now the place where you keep all your stuff, and sooner or later you'll need to find a place for more stuff. The Internet and all the files on it are growing, after all, not shrinking.
Don't leave businesspeople out of the equation. Small-business owners have important files on their hard drives as well. Invoices and QuickBooks databases are hard to recover or replace when your system goes down.
Recent notebook PCs will have a hard drive with a capacity from 4GB all the way up to 500GB (for now). What I propose is that you get a drive that will sit on your desk, backing up all the files on your notebook, and hold other files that don't need to be on your notebook 24/7. For this purpose, you'll need more than 320GB. Here are a few recent candidates for your backup solution. External desktop hard drives such as the Iomega eGO have reached terabyte capacity, and the WD My Book Mirror Edition does it one better, combining two 1TB drives, each backing up the other. A lot of vendors have increased the capacity of their pocket hard drives to 500GB; our favorite of these half-terabyte mini wonders is the Seagate FreeAgent Go, which although insanely portable also comes with a svelte, superbly designed dock. When placed in the dock, it can back up your PC around the clock.
Already made your New Year's resolutions? Add "backup" as one more item to the list.
Featured in this Roundup:
Iomega eGo Desktop Hard Drive (1TB) ($218.45 direct)
Seagate FreeAgent Go (500GB) ($239.99 list)
Western Digital My Book Mirror Edition (2TB) ($399.99 list)

Poems by Damian Cranney : 69 / 95
Stress Free - Poem by Damian Cranney
I walked amidst the shadows, that curtained life,
I looked for the sun to relieve my pain,
if you had been with me it would have released the hurt,
But you were absent when my need was great.
It does not matter, now, I know that now,
I am comforted by your presence, beside me,
l live each day for each day,
And you, my love.
The time is near when my absence may hurt you,
But dwell not on that, but on what we have been,
And if in future times you need a love,
I will smile on your need and bless you.

Reports out of Japanese newspapers Saturday indicate Nintendo is about to introduce an updated Nintendo DS console in the coming days, one that includes new, non-gaming-related features, Wired.
Indications are that Nintendo plans to add a camera and an MP3 player to the now-four-year-old handheld, as well as an "information terminal" feature that lets users find nearby restaurants and train stations. The report said that Nintendo aims to branch out of the game industry and into the general portable consumer electronics space, particularly with regard to cell phones.
The report said it's also possible that game developers will take advantage of at least the camera, for new in-game play possibilities.

Euro trailer plug/harnesses

Join Date: Jun 2011

I've got this Euro OEM BMW F07 trailer wiring harness/interface kit that, if the factory vehicle wiring harness is prepped for it, will literally just plug in and perform the trailer functionality (well, you have to program the car to recognize it afterwards). BUT, USA delivered vehicles, do NOT put that prep in any vehicle that does not have a USA approved trailer option from the factory...mine, does not while it is available most anywhere else in the world.
So, I've got this interface box designed to plug into the vehicle into an existing plug - no pinout documentation (since it's supposed to be just plug-and-play), and without it and a mating plug to wire up my own, currently useless to me! The actual trailer connector harness also plugs into factory sockets, but those functions come from the module, and if I can find out the pinout, I can handle that connection by cutting off the existing plugs and wiring it into a new one.
I'd like to know if anyone has the wiring diagrams that show this connection. If so, I should be able to cobble up how to interface it into my car.
My alternative is to try the Right Connections kit, but they will not guarantee it will work on a USA model (likely it would, but I don't want to buy one, install it, and find out it won't!). The Westfalia harness probably would also work, and may use the same Hekbako interface module, but I haven't looked into that one much, yet.

How do I pour an in-ground concrete tub?
I am just about finished digging a 4 x 6 x 3 foot hole (HARD AS ****)
I want to pour concrete sides and a floor, then paint it with a 5 gallon thing of swimming-pool type paint.
It will never freeze.
I'm thinking I might be able to get away with pouring it 4" thick without rebar, and relying on the clay soil and concrete to hold in the pressure of the water - but I'm not sure. I also don't really know how to pour it -- I was thinking:
- Pour a 2-3 in bottom just to create a solid, level surface for the forms.
- Build wall forms out of plywood and 2x4 (the inside would be plywood, the outside would be dirt)
- After the walls cured and the forms were removed (how do you get the plywood off the concrete?), pour a deeper floor, for better waterproofing.
Does this sound at all right? On one hand, I can't see it cracking, just because the clay soil is so damn hard -- I just want to make sure I do it right though, figure it will be holding almost 3,200 pounds of water!
Not a good idea,your better off getting one of the plastic jobs from HD or Lowes,they come in different sizes.
What are your plans for keeping the water from constantly leaking out of it, or dirty ground water from leaking in if it's empty???
Contrary to popular belief, concrete is far from waterproof........
You spent all that time digging the hole before doing the research to see if it would even work:eek:
Clay one of the worst soils to have under a slab or any concrete. It shrinks and swells.
How do you plan on getting the water in and out of this?
This new one is HUGE! I tried to make it bigger than needed, just because it won't be practical to expand it later.
Should I lay a bed of gravel before I pour the floor? I've seen that done, but never really knew why.
Keep in mind, this is inside and below the frost line.
This is a great project. I love it. Just let all the criticism roll off you. Those other guys are just jealous.
First thing, I think you need to dig some more. What size do you want the basin to be in the end? You mentioned a 6x4x3 hole. Does that mean 3' deep? Or will you be coming up off the surface with the basin?
I would just plan on some overdig of 4" on the sides. Dig down 4" deeper than you want to be. Then put in some 2x4 forms for some 16" wide footings. Then dig down in the formed up 16" wide area another 4". Put 2 lengths of 1/2" rebar in this 8" thick footing all the way around. Have rebar sticking up vertically from the footing where the cores of your concrete block will be. Fill the footing with concrete, then strip the forms.
Now you have your footings 4" above the grade with re-bar in them and sticking up out of them. Next put in 4" of rock, so it is level with the top of the footings. This will give you a nice, clean, smooth area to work in. Your footings are 16" wide. In the center of the footing, lay 8" concrete block all around your basin, up to the height you want, minus 4". We'll cap this with 4" cap blocks later.
When you are done laying the block, fill the block cores with concrete. You'll have rebar in these cores as well. Just put a rebar in every core, why not?
Now pour 4" of concrete on the floor. This will rest on the footing edge and against the concrete block.
Next you'll want to waterproof the basin and up over the cap blocks as well, and backfill the 4" overdig with more rock.
You can now fill it with water and do whatever you had planned on doing next.
Not sure why my idea is getting any criticism thb, I believe basement foundations are poured in a similar fashion, and those are a magnitude larger and have to deal with the elements.
Hate to step in and quash enthusiasm but you have not disclosed the lay of the land to us. Are you on flat land or is this concrete pit you plan to build subject to whatever forces the ever so slight slope you plunk it in might put on it. And you expect the walls on that side of lateral forces to hold for how long without reinforcement?
And you are planning to add the weight of how much water? Water is one of the most wonderful but dangerous substances on the planet. A major part of all of us is water. It, more than just about any substance I can think of adapts to live load changes almost instantly but can trasmit and transfer them in the next heartbeat. The thought of you thinking you can contain those loads without reinforced walls is just plain scary. Even on calm days water just wants to respond to gravity. Anywhere in the World, if it could, it would go home and get back to sea level or below.
I used to design features like you have in mind in to landscape designs all the time. Then I handed my drawings over to pool designers with engineering staff to make them work---safely. Would your ego be totally done in if you admitted you were in over your head (pun intended) on this and sought out a local pool, spa, whatever designer to help you with this? Your idea sounds like it could turn out to be spectacular. I know we guys don't like asking for help but if you find the right pool/spa guys you will end up with what you really want and for a lot less money than fixing this approach you have in mind when it is floated south on whatever you put in this tub concept.
I have a 1909 Kohler cast iron tub you can have to bury and the hole you've dug is about right. Bring pizza :thumbup: and at least 4 strong helpers to load. It takes 2 just to turn it over.
"I know we guys don't like asking for help but if you find the right pool/spa guys you will end up with what you really want and for a lot less money than fixing this approach you have in mind when it is floated south on whatever you put in this tub concept."
If you really want to do this project,i'd take sdsester's advice and contact some pool/spa builders,for it to hold water it should be a monolithic pour,not a two part pour,better yet gunnite would insure it being water tight.
I wana see pics of the hole :eek:
Sounds like this is either in the basement of a house or in the crawlspace?
I want to see pictures to.
Building a water tight concrete tub into the ground has me asking a simple question..........how high is the water table in your area. I am not talking about now, I guess its dry as you are digging a hole in it, but will it rise?
If it does rise your tub will turn into a boat and start floating.
As for building a water proof tub, I am sure you can find some direction fairly easily by searching the subject.
Very interested to see this, post some pics ASAP :)
Question though - what about skipping the concreting completely and just getting a pound / swimming pool liner? Or concreting, then using a pound liner, since your have a way to glue it.

In the great epic story of humanity there has always been the forces that compel us to assimilate amongst each other and those that urge us to maintain our differences and to hold up the uniquenesses within the human family. The desire to blend in is strong and indeed is admirable. The unity afforded by blending in, by assimilating, cannot be overstated. When we collapse the contours that are the map of the human family into one straight path our journey becomes simple and uncomplicated. Yet, … [Read more...]

Jewish identity. It is quite the buzzword these days. It is the goal set by rabbis, practitioners, places of learning and other religious centers. Jewish identity is the holy grail. The question asked is rarely about defining or making clear what this grand result would look like. Everyone just wants to know how to get there. Unfortunately, life is about the destination and the journey. In terms of Jewish continuity, the destination cannot be reached without a meaningful journey. There are n … [Read more...]

The shoes showed up as promised and on time. I looked all over the internet for these shoes and after months of looking you had teh correct size width and color. Thanks so much!
I bought this pair of shoes for my son, He usually has a hard time finding a pair of NIKES that fit him well, but these shoes look good on him amd he says they are very comfortable.here is a picture of him out exploring ARKANSAS in his new NIKES
These look great, but they are not as comfortable once you wear them a while.
I made the decision to buy these shoes for my son. The reviews were good and the price reasonable, especially with free shipping. What took this shopping experience over the top was how quickly the order was filled and shipped to me. I received the shoes the following day when it was supposed to take 3-5 days. Thank you Academy. I'm a happy customer.
This shoes are a great value! I have had more than one person ask me where I got my Asics.
Great Value. I love they are made from used water bottles. I wouldn't run in them, not enough structural support, but they are great for knocking around.
These look really nice. They feel comfortable. I'm not going to wear them to jog in. I'm using them as a campus shoe. They do come a little snug. The pair I have is made of nice quality. Good shoe for guys living in Houston that rely on tennis shoes and shorts when lugging through the humidity.
Ordered shoes online and were received within 2 days My son was excited!!!
So funny! Right before I opened my email to see this 'rate ur purchase' my son told me he 'loves my shoes' he said the memory foam makes them so comfortable
i have been using the product for almost 3 weeeks and i felt that was good. but i am not fully satisified with the product. i didnt feel very comfortable in that shoes.
Very comfortable cannot beat the price and the quality of the seas would recommend to anyone
I only use the for walking but I walk a lot. Most comfortable shoe that I've ever worn. And price is great!
Bought it as an early father's day gift and he loved it! Just a little tough breaking them in because he has a wide foot. That's my only complaint...I wish there was a size Wide. All I saw was a size Medium
I bought this as a Christmas gift for my husband and he loves them!! He say they are comfortable and light!!
I love my sneakers. They are a great pair for sports.
Love my new Nike I would like to see more airmax being sold at Academy I would by more a lille a extra choices but love the store
I bought them for work and my feet are not tried at night.
My team recomended these for work since we stand on conctete all day...i am so glad i got them....
The shoes are great but the security tag was still attached so I had to go to the store to get it removed. Not a big deal but still a pain.
Comfortable and fit well. Cushion is just right with good stability
Good for all purposes. For use in any of the cases
can't find these in stores anymore. these are the only comfortable shoe's i can wear at work
I've been using these shoes for about a week and they have been awesome! They give my feet great all-around support stride after stride. I would definitely recommend this shoe if you're an avid Asics user.
Great support - the shoes absorb the shock really well. They are lite weight and have a great heal to toe balance
Bought for my 14 year old son. He loves the look and the fit.
The sole of this shoe is very supporting and provides the necessary cushion on the ball of my foot Looks great Feels great ❗
I got these about two months ago and i love them! they give you a great springy feel when you run or work out. and they look great too.
I bought this shoe a month ago and it is a really good shoes for the price. Altogether very pleased with the purchase. Shoe does not show dirt like many out there after just one run.
I bought these shoes and immediately wore them. My foot started to grow a little bit so i took the insole out and basically got .5 size more.
I bought this shoe a few weeks ago and I wish I learned about this shoe sooner. They are extremely comfortable and the pictures don't serve it justice (Amazing in person).
These shoes are amazingly comfortable and they have lasted a long time

Department of Fish and Wildlife Records Guide
Agency History - 1878-1921
Appointed in 1878, the fish commissioner for the Columbia River was the earliest state official engaged in the regulation and protection of fish, wildlife, and forests. A three member Fish Commission responsible for regulating the commercial fish industry replaced the fish commissioner in 1887. With increasing interests in game and game fish, the Fish Commission was replaced by the fish and game protector in 1893. The responsibilities of the fish and game protector included the enforcing of game laws and regulating the commercial fish industry.
The fish and game protector was replaced by an act of the 1898 Legislative Assembly, which established the Board of Fish Commissioners. Members of the board included the governor, secretary of state, and a fish commissioner appointed as executive officer by the governor. This agency was replaced in 1901 by a Fish Commission composed of the governor, secretary of state, and state treasurer. The commission appointed a master fish warden as administrator and confined itself to the regulation of commercial fishing. The responsibility for enforcing game laws as well as forestry laws was now regulated by the game and forestry warden created in 1899. This arrangement remained unchanged for ten years.
Regulation of fish and game activities was not placed into a single agency until 1911 with the establishment of the Board of Fish and Game Commissioners. This board was authorized to appoint a master fish warden and a state game warden. In this same year, the Legislative Assembly created the State Board of Forestry consisting of the governor, the acting head of the Forest School of the Oregon State Agricultural College (Oregon State University), and five appointees. The creation of a Board of Forestry separated the function of forestry from that of fish and game.
The Board of Fish and Game Commissioners was reorganized in 1915 to consist of four appointees and the governor. In 1920 it was further enlarged to nine members, with eight selected by the Legislative Assembly and the ninth selected by the appointed eight. Part of the board was designated a Fish Commission and part a Game Commission. The 1921 Legislative Assembly abolished this board.

Right-Wing Media Cheer More GOP Obstruction Of Immigration Reform
Research ››› ››› SOLANGE UWIMANA
Conservative media are applauding House Speaker John Boehner's (R-OH) decision to refuse negotiations on immigration reform between the House and Senate, which likely means the end of comprehensive immigration reform this year. This decision comes after months of right-wing media telling Republicans to obstruct any and all action to pass comprehensive immigration legislation.
House Speaker Boehner Rejects Talks With Senate On Immigration Reform
Boehner: "I'll Make Clear We have No Intention Of Ever Going To Conference On The Senate bill." As The New York Times reported:
Signaling an end to the push for major immigration legislation this year, Speaker John A. Boehner on Wednesday ruled out negotiations between the House and the Senate on an expansive immigration overhaul similar to one approved by the Senate with bipartisan support in June.
Speaking to reporters, Mr. Boehner said that while House Republicans were working on a "common-sense, step-by-step approach in terms of how we deal with immigration," they were unwilling to enter into talks with the Senate on a broad bill that would include a path to citizenship for the 11 million immigrants already in the country illegally.
"The idea that we're going to take up a 1,300-page bill that no one had ever read, which is what the Senate did, is not going to happen in the House," he said. "And frankly, I'll make clear we have no intention of ever going to conference on the Senate bill."
With few legislative days left in 2013 and nearly all the focus on the health care law and House-Senate budget talks, Mr. Boehner said House Republicans had little interest in detouring on to immigration legislation that divides their party. His stance means the immigration fight would be pushed into 2014. If there was to be movement, it would probably have to come earlier in the year before the midterm elections get too close. [The New York Times, 11/13/13]
Associated Press: Boehner's Decision Is A "Fresh Signal From The Republican Leadership That The Issue Is Dead For The Year." In an article on Boehner's statement, the Associated Press explained that Boehner's decision represented "a fresh signal from the Republican leadership that the issue is dead for the year." The article continued:
The slow, relatively quiet death came more than four months after the Senate, on a bipartisan vote, passed a far-reaching bill that would provide a path to citizenship for the 11 million immigrants living in the country illegally and tighten border security.
That fanfare for that bill was quashed by strong opposition among House Republican rank and file who reject a comprehensive approach and question offering citizenship to people who broke U.S. immigration laws to be in this country. House incumbents also are wary of primary challenges from the right. [The Associated Press, 11/13/13]
Right-Wing Media Cheer Boehner's Decision On Immigration Reform
Laura Ingraham: "Well, We Did It Again." On her radio show, Fox News contributor Laura Ingraham discussed Boehner's announcement to refuse to go to a conference committee with the Senate-passed immigration bill, saying, "Well, we did it again." She continued:
INGRAHAM: Back in 2007, yours truly and a band of brothers and sisters committed to the rule of law, American jobs, middle-class wages, and overall fairness for the American people. We stopped what George Bush was trying to do on immigration, quote, reform, which was really immigration deformed. And now, at least for the moment, we ended up working all together putting enormous an amount of pressure on Congress in getting it done. [Courtside Entertainment Group, The Laura Ingraham Show, 11/14/13]
Ingraham Lauded Conservative Media Colleagues In Effort To Stop Immigration Reform. On her radio show, Ingraham continued congratulating herself and others in conservative media, saying:
INGRAHAM: I have to say, John Boehner deserves a huge amount of credit, and I mean, I'm not gonna sit here and pat myself on the back. There were a few others who from the beginning were doing a terrific job on this: my colleague in radio Mark Levin, Michelle Malkin, the folks over at National Review, Andrew Stiles, the folks at Heritage Foundation -- and they run a great research organization there. Robert Rector has done great work on this. [Courtside Entertainment Group, The Laura Ingraham Show, 11/14/13]
Breitbart News: "This Is A Major Victory For Conservatives." In an article highlighting Boehner's decision, Breitbart News wrote that while "the battle against amnesty is not over yet," "this is a major victory for conservatives." From the article:
While the battle against amnesty is not over yet -- informal negotiations, as the National Review's Andrew Stiles has written, still remain a distant possibility -- this is a major victory for conservatives in that the Speaker of the House is now on the record as saying he and the House of Representatives will not, under any circumstances, enter into formal negotiations with the Democratic Senate on amnesty.
But as Sens. [Jeff] Sessions and [Mike] Lee laid out in their op-ed for Breitbart News recently, there is still concern about immigration negotiations happening in secret outside of conference committee. [Breitbart News, 11/13/13]
Drudge Report: "Amnesty Dead." The Drudge Report announced Boehner's decision using the headline, "Amnesty Dead," underneath the controversial image of what appears to be an undocumented family running. The image also sported the caption, "Caution." The image is routinely used by anti-immigrant groups to warn against illegal immigration.
[The Drudge Report, 11/13/13]
RedState: "Killing This Nonsense Was A Great First Step In Fixing A Broken Immigration And Naturalization System." Fox Contributor Erick Erickson's website RedState called Boehner's decision "both good policy and good politics" and credited Boehner for "pull[ing] the plug on this bit of legislative legerdemain." The article ended with:
We're often accused of being too critical of GOP congressmen and senators, so this would be a good opportunity to take to Twitter or email or the phones and let Speaker Boehner know that killing this nonsense was a great first step in fixing a broken immigration and naturalization system. [RedState, 11/14/13, italics original]
Conservative Media Figures Have Repeatedly Urged GOP To Obstruct Immigration Reform
Ingraham Advised Boehner To Step Away From Immigration Reform "Trap." On the July 4 broadcast of her radio show, Ingraham likened immigration reform to a "trap" and stated that she was pressuring Boehner to make sure that he ultimately "walk[ed] away from this trap set" by congressional Democrats and other immigration reform supporters. [Courtside Entertainment Group, The Laura Ingraham Show, 7/10/13]
Bill Kristol, Rich Lowry Called On GOP To "Kill The Bill." In a series of editorials, The Weekly Standard's Bill Kristol and The National Review's Rich Lowry called on House Republicans to obstruct comprehensive immigration reform efforts by not passing any immigration reform bills out of the chamber. Kristol and Lowry argued that not passing legislation in the House would prevent Senate and House representatives from meeting to reconcile the differences between the Senate's bill and any bill that would pass the House. [The Weekly Standard, 7/8/13, via Media Matters]
Daily Caller's Mickey Kaus Advised Republicans On How To Filibuster Immigration Reform. In his Daily Caller column, Mickey Kaus advocated for Republicans to filibuster immigration reform efforts, claiming that following his advice would prove that "[a]mnesty as we know it can go away." Kaus also headlined a tea party event to stoke fears of how comprehensive immigration reform "would change America irrevocably, and for the worse." [The Daily Caller, 9/4/13, via Media Matters]
Ann Coulter: If The House Were To Conference With Senate On Immigration Bill, "The Country Is Over." On Fox News, conservative pundit Ann Coulter warned that "if the House passes anything concerning immigration" and conference with representatives from the Senate, the resultant bill "will come out an amnesty bill." She claimed that if a reconciled bill passed, "the country is over." [Fox News, Hannity, 6/12/13]
Rush Limbaugh: "Saying No" On Immigration Reform "Would Be Pretty, Pretty Wise." On his radio show, Rush Limbaugh urged House Republicans to refuse to act on immigration reform, saying: "Why can't we just say no? You guys don't get everything you want. Well, we can't be the party of no. Why not? They already say we're the party of no. What's wrong with saying no in this case? Saying no in this case would be pretty, pretty wise."

Spending Associated with CGTC has $95 million Impact in Region
Warner Robins- How much does Central Georgia Technical College's 11-county service area benefit economically from spending that is either directly or indirectly related to the college?
According to Dr. Jeffrey M. Humphreys, director of the Selig Center for Economic Growth at the University of Georgia's Terry College of Business, it adds up to $95.5 million. This number represents the combined total economic impact of both Middle Georgia Technical College (MGTC) and the former Central Georgia Technical College (CGTC). The NEW Central Georgia Technical College was formed by the merger of these two colleges in July 2013.
The economic impact is in a new report from Dr. Humphreys that details his analysis of economic data from the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) for the 2012 fiscal year, the year prior to the merger of CGTC and MGTC.
The study also found that the college's spending results in a combined 1,285 public and private sector jobs. Humphreys reported that statewide, for each job created on a TCSG college campus, one off-campus job exists because of college-related expenditures. One in every 264 non-farm jobs in Georgia, he said, occurs because of spending associated with a TCSG college.
"The fundamental finding is that each of the TCSG colleges, including Central Georgia Technical College, creates substantial economic impact in terms of output, value added, labor income, and employment. These economic impacts demonstrate that continued emphasis on technical colleges as an enduring pillar of the regional economy translates into jobs, higher incomes, and greater production of goods and services for local households and businesses," said Humphreys.
The TCSG commissioned Humphreys to calculate the importance that spending connected to the state's technical colleges has for their service delivery areas, which range in size from two to 11 counties. CGTC has one of the largest service delivery areas in the system, serving 11 counties including Baldwin, Bibb, Crawford, Dooly, Houston, Jones, Monroe, Peach, Pulaski, Putnam, and Twiggs counties. Several categories of college expenditures were reviewed for the study, including personnel salaries and fringe benefits, college operations, capital construction projects, and student spending, to name a few.
The result, put in the context of the taxpayer investment, indicated that the $20,797,768 state appropriation for both MGTC and CGTC in 2012 supported the enrollment of 14,639 students, generated $95,580,169 in local spending, and helped to sustain almost 1,300 college-related jobs.
"As our campuses and programs expand, we expect to have an even more significant economic impact on the middle Georgia region by educating a well-qualified workforce that will, in-turn, lead to an even more successful and robust economy." said Dr. Ivan Allen, president of Central Georgia Technical College.
Statewide, the $315 million state appropriation for the TCSG in 2012 helped to train almost 153,000 technical college students, contributed to $1.2 billion in direct and indirect spending in communities throughout Georgia, and was a factor in almost 15,000 public and private sector jobs.
"The spending factor alone is a sizable return on the state's investment in the TCSG, and it would be significantly higher if we were to add the economic value that our graduates create once they leave college and meet employers' needs for a skilled workforce," said Ron Jackson, commissioner of the TCSG.
The study did not attempt to measure the value in terms of the increased earnings of TCSG graduates or the colleges' role in helping the state to attract and retain companies with high-skill, good-paying jobs. Nor did it calculate the impact of the TCSG's Quick Start program, a state economic development incentive that provides customized training free of charge to new and expanding businesses.

U.S. Army All-American Bowl NFL Player of the Week: Percy Harvin
This week's U.S. Army All-American Bowl NFL Player of the Week honors could only go to one person. With 2004 U.S. Army All-American and current Minnesota Viking, Adrian Peterson sidelined by injury, there was an opportunity for 2006 bowl alumnus and Viking, Percy Harvin to shine. Harvin made the most of his chance, catching 8 passes for 156 yards and two touchdowns. He helped fill some of the void left by Peterson with 19 rushing yards on 5 carries. Denver edged the win over Minnesota 35-32, led by 2006 U.S. Army All-American Tim Tebow. However, Harvin's performance ensured he was the Player of the Week.

Faucet Replacement - not sure what to do about the counter holes...
Hi there this will be my first faucet replacement. After constantly replacing and checking both compression stems Ive finally decided just to replace the whole thing.
This is my current faucet :
Underneath the counter :
Id like to replace it with a faucet similar to this type:
Now my concern is the newer faucet's base is much narrower than my old one. I have no problem drilling new "center" hole on my counter, but how do I cover up the existing holes which the new faucet will mostly likely partially overlap.
Is there a type of plate I can use underneath the new faucet base? other options?
Any thoughts or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
I agree with Bud.
Most of the new kitchen faucets i've put in recently are just wide enough to cover the old holes (some barely, but they still covered).
I see your point. But Hypothetically when one runs into this problem.. what are their options?
In your situation most people buy a faucet that is the same configuration as they one they are replacing. For you that would be two-handle widespread 8" centers. There are three hole single lever faucets that use widespread holes so see if you can find one that you like and it will make your job easy. Your selection will go down when you add the pullout feature but you can probably find one.
If you want to go with a different config that is not three hole wide spread then you need to see if the width measurement of whatever flange it has is wide enough to cover your old holes. Probably isn't. Buy locally if you're not sure or you'll pay return shipping and probably at least 10% restocking if you have to return it.
If you are set on that specific faucet and want to plug the holes and not have it look like a$$, that is going to be tough. I would probably find a piece of laminate that matches as best as possible, cut it to cover, glue it down, and rebore for your new configuration.
Here is a three-hole widespread single lever faucet. This is the route I would go if I were in your shoes:
thanks Ironlight. I didnt realize how much work it would be just to change faucet styles. I'll weigh out my options and re-post with my final results :)
It's not a lot of work, you just need to choose wisely so it's NOT a lot of work, lol. And you're doing your homework now which means you'll save yourself a bunch of grief, or at least know what you're getting into, when it comes to installing the thing.
I should have been clearer about one thing...some single lever faucets, even if they only require a single hole for installation, come with "deck plates" for exactly your purpose of covering existing holes. Just make sure that the faucet comes with a deck plate wide enough to cover 8" on-center holes. Some may be wide enough to only cover 4" holes. The specifications of any given faucet should give you the width of any included deck plate.
Yes the faucet Im looking at does have an optional deck plate. I'll probably run to the store before hand and measure it first.
Get your new faucet and see if you even have a problem before you take away years of your life worrying about nothing.:thumbsup:
BTW if it does end up being too narrow, Im thinking something this would help with the cover up:

Diana de los Santos from the SPCA of Hancock county talks about Pepper.
Pepper is a 1.5 yr old black and white shorthair cat. She is up to date and ready to go. She will do best in a house with no other cats as she can be a bit of a chaser!! She loves people. She was brought in as a stray at Small Animal Clinic in Ellsworth, so we don't know too much about her. She has been with us since January 7th, 2014.

If you're looking at this, then you probably know this watch. It features Anonimo's unique 3-piece case and special lock-ring crown system.
I'm selling this because I just snagged a GMT version of this same watch. I like the extra complication of the GMT, but if you appreciate clear simplicity, then this is the version of the "Pro" for you.
Asking $2400, paypal to confirmed address only, US only -- and I'll cover all fees plus shipping and insurance.
Watch is in very good condition, though it does have a small little ding on the side of the case at around the 10:00 mark. I've taken really huge pictured in direct light to show the condition of every side of the watch. Everything works great and I've really enjoyed owning it.
Includes box, manual, warranty card, OEM rubber strap, OEM Kodiak leather strap, and OEM Kodiak croc-style strap for a dressier look, and of course, the very awesome Professionale watch.
Do you see the little ding in the picture below? It's hard to see, but I wouldn't want to mislead anyone.

VANCOUVER — There is a very credible narrative surrounding the Chicago Blackhawks which suggests Dave Bolland is the binding force that holds this team together.
When he's playing and playing well as he is right now, this team is among the elite in the National Hockey League. When he's hurt the Hawks tend to slide toward the middle of the pack.
Just look at last year's first-round Stanley Cup playoff series against the Vancouver Canucks. Chicago lost the first three games but Bolland forced himself into the lineup despite concussion-related symptoms he later confessed to experiencing once the series was over. As soon as he entered the Hawks lineup, Chicago won three of the next four and the Canucks needed an overtime turnover for Alex Burrows to score the series winner. To be sure, when Bolland is around, Vancouver's Sedin twins seem to fade into the woodwork.
"I don't know what it is and why I've had success," says Bolland, in a jovial mood after his team took three of four points on a two-game Eastern jaunt. "I don't know whether they're horrified by my looks or distracted by my beautiful face but we seem to have had some success against them. They're two, maybe the top two players in the league and our line seems to do pretty well against them. Obviously our role is trying to keep them off the score sheet and helping the defence against them when they're out there and that's a tough chore but for some reason we've been pretty successful.
"It will be good to play them again and resume our battle with all the bad blood there is between the teams. And by bad blood I mean a healthy rivalry, because it's becoming one of the best around with all that's gone on between us the past couple of years. That stuff is really good for the league. It's a bit like the Leafs and Habs were with all that's gone on between the teams."
Bolland is off to a terrific start and on pace to blow away his career-high 19 goals in a season, having already scored five. Many believe he, Bryan Bickell and Michael Frolik is the best third line in the league, although last year the Canucks with a healthy Manny Malhotra, Jannik Hansen and Raffi Torres may well have disputed that claim. But given Bolland is completely healthy and due for a decent run, their line seems to provide the support which allows their stars to shine. Certainly all the big names — led this year by Patrick Kane — are off to terrific starts.
"I think what we have as a line is that all three of us can make a contribution in all three zones," says Bolland, who at 25 has already won a Memorial Cup, a gold medal at the IIHF world junior championship and a Stanley Cup. "Bick has the big body and uses his size very well and Fro (Frolik) has all kinds of speed and puck skills and the combination seems to be working really well. We all seem to have some special ability in certain areas and we seem to have a knack of working pretty well together. It's been fun playing with those guys."
Two seasons ago the Hawks won their Cup with the likes of Andrew Ladd, Adam Burish and Ben Eager roaming around and when they had to pare their payroll for the start of last season, general manager Stan Bowman probably let too much of the same type of player go. The Hawks were much softer through the lineup last season and many feel they suffered for it.
"I think that's exactly right and I thought Stan did a great job this summer bringing in Dan Carcillo and Jamal Mayers, two gritty guys who know their roles well and play them.
"So far Danny has been a great addition. He's kept it on the rails on the ice and I know from playing all those games against Philly (in the 2010 Cup final) how hard he is to play against. It's no fun being out there against him but he's great to have on your team. He's one of those guys who likes to hang and he's fit in really well."

Simply Plain Food – Fruit Soup
I asked my Amish neighbor lady how often she might make mashed potatoes for an evening meal. She thought about once or twice a month, so the big Amish meals are just as wonderful a treat for the Amish as they are for the "English" as they refer to all others outside their close-knit society.

VI Cycling concluded its cyclo-cross season at USA Cycling Cyclo-cross Nationals in Boulder, Colorado on January 12, 2014. VI finished 12th out of 25 teams in the team omnium with only two riders in the Men's A race – Cory Rimmer and Will Mehta.
Starting on the front row of 44 riders Rimmer was prepared to defend his national title. At the start of the race a mishap caused a gap with the leaders leaving Rimmer to chase back from 12th position to 7th. . He gave it all he had to pull it back before the end of the 60-minute race. Then, Will Mehta, in his first national race, had the dubious honor of lining up on the last row of 44 riders. Mehta rode as hard as he could on the very fast course to move up to 36th place.
In other highlights and conference racing prior to Nationals, VI finished 3rd overall in Division 2 in the SECCC. Individual results were great as well: Cory Rimmer finished 4th overall in the Men's A field. Will Mehta finished 33rd in the Men's A individual standings, which is quite good since he was "thrown into the fire" with Pro riders. Earlier in the season in non-collegiate races Mehta won three of the first four cross races he did. This performance raised his USAC category from Cat 5, which is the beginner category, to Cat 3 allowing him to advance to the A Men's field in collegiate.
The standout female rider of the collegiate cross season is Alyssa Walsh. Having never raced cross, Walsh was excited by it when VI held a cross clinic back in October. After participating in the clinic, she went on to race most of the local MSG Cyclo-cross series in preparation for the collegiate season, which began in November of 2013.
"We didn't take any of the women's team to the first race at University of Georgia, since only one had raced cross before," said VI Head Cycling Coach Dwayne Letterman.
However, Walsh showed her strength in cross by winning the next three races in a row which included VI's home race on campus and the conference championship at Mars Hill University on December 8, 2013.
"Hindsight is 20/20," Letterman said. "Had she done the first race at UGA she would have been the women's B conference champion, missing that title by only eight points! Everyone on the team contributed by scoring points in their respective categories, and their efforts are greatly appreciated. Thank you, Annamarie Russell, Sarah Welch, and Josh Collins!"
The team focus will now shift to collegiate road season, beginning February 22 at the University of Florida. There will be five weekends of racing following UF, each weekend consisting of a road race, time trial and criterium. The last race of the season will be the conference championship at the University of Central Florida.

Casual Sophistication
Sally Bartz, the creator of cool bag company Halsea, weaves her love of 1960s and '70s retro into her home filled with casual sophistication.
Sally Bartz, the woman behind Halsea, is known for her adorable line of bags that are a little bit Brady Bunch yet can be seen on luggage carousels from Palm Beach to Nantucket. Sally grew up in the laid-back California coastal city of Corona del Mar, where she continues to make her home.
From a very young age, Sally was interested in art and color, and inherited her love of making things and decorating a home from her mother and grandmother. Her parents fostered her creative side by exposing her to any and all artistic avenues they had available. "In Southern California there are a lot of art opportunities. We went to art museums all over Los Angeles and to La Jolla to see plays," she says.
Growing up in the late '70s and '80s, Sally experienced a freedom and openness of design that she attributes to her location more than anything else. "There is a newness and vastness in Southern California; we are not tied to any traditions," she says. "The sand and ocean provide a natural beauty that can be translated into the home."
Sally translates the easy, lighthearted approach she uses in designing her totes as she does in designing her home with casual sophistication with a contemporary feel. When she and her husband, Aaron, found the home in 2005, they were instantly drawn to the spaciousness and possibilities it presented. "It has a great backyard where the kids can run around as well as a great space for a veggie garden," she says. "Most of all, I liked the freedom it offered."
While the color and whimsy in her children's rooms encourage them to unleash their creativity, Sally cherishes the time the whole family spends in the kitchen. Sitting down for meals is an important family time that she looks forward to every day.
"There has to be a place in the house where everyone can sit down and eat together. It is essential," she says. Her other home necessities include books and fresh air. "I like an indoor/outdoor feeling. It brings a freshness in that makes home a wonderful place," she says.
In order to keep her home a true sanctuary, Sally keeps her work space and living space separate. Because the home belongs to everyone, it is impractical to fill the space with her fabric and design materials. "With two young kids at home, things never stay where you leave them," she observes. "At work, I can leave at night, come back in the morning and everything is where I left it."
Most importantly, Sally keeps to what she likes but is never afraid to experiment or evolve as a designer. Her home is the embodiment of what her totes represent: effortless style built on comfort and durability.
