Education Department Bureaucracy Keeps Disabled Borrowers in Debt
Posted on Feb 14, 2011
By Sasha Chavkin, Cezary Podkul, Jeannette Neumann and Ben Protess
(Page 2)
More than three-quarters of outstanding student debt is held by the federal government, according to statistics compiled by Mark Kantrowitz, an author and consultant on student financial aid. In the strict world of student loans, even bankruptcy is usually not sufficient reason for debts to be forgiven, and most private loans cannot be discharged for disability regardless of a borrower's condition.
The Education Department says it has to set its own high bar for debt discharge—and not accept disability findings from Social Security—because of the tough standard set out for it by Congress. Other agencies can always cut off benefits if a patient recovers, it says, while the decision to discharge a loan is permanent.
The department also says that it must be vigilant in protecting taxpayer dollars against fraudulent applications to cancel loans. Until 2000 the department accepted discharges made by government-subsidized lenders. It added its own review only after an audit found that some borrowers were earning wages again after receiving disability discharges.
But experts say the current system often fails to provide disabled borrowers with the relief they are legally entitled to receive.

Policewoman's Frustration
Tina Brooks's accident occurred during police training for bicycle patrol in January 2000, when she fell from her bicycle on an off-road course and tumbled 15 feet down the walls of a rock quarry. Despite years of physical therapy and a spinal-fusion operation, the back pain that resulted from her injuries got so bad that she couldn't sit, stand, or walk for more than a few minutes at a time.
In 2004 her doctors told her that her condition was permanent. She applied to Social Security for disability benefits, and in 2006 a Social Security judge ruled that she was fully disabled. Brooks thought she was done proving her disability to the government.
But canceling her student debt turned out to be far harder.
Her application to discharge her student debt had been approved by the lender and the guarantor in 2005. But soon after her disability approval from Social Security, Brooks received a letter saying that she needed to resume her payments on her student debt. It came from Affiliated Computer Services (ACS), a contractor hired by the Education Department to provide customer service and manage information for programs including the disability discharge review.
It turned out that the Education Department had rejected Brooks's application—but she had not received notice when the decision was made, and she had not been provided with a reason for the denial.
Findings by the Government Accountability Office and meeting minutes from the Education Department show that officials repeatedly criticized ACS's performance. In 2010 the department hired a new contractor, Nelnet, to handle disability discharges. ACS says borrowers received "a consistently high level of service" during its tenure. Nelnet says its communications and application processes are "intuitive, clear, compliant, and up to the department's high standards.")
In July 2007, on the advice of a customer service agent from the department, Brooks submitted her entire application again. This time, when she repeatedly contacted the department about her application, it told her that she had not provided enough information. Because the program has no written medical standards, no one could tell her what information she needed to provide.
"It's so frustrating to not understand what they're looking for," Brooks says. "It's like taking a college exam and it's blank, but you have to fill in the answers."
She turned to the federal student-aid ombudsman for help but was told that the department wouldn't change its decision. "Current regulations do not provide for appeal of decision made by the Department," the ombudsman wrote to her in August 2008.
So far, Brooks has been able to receive temporary deferments on her payments on the basis of economic hardship, through a separate process that is unrelated to the disability review. But the deferments are scheduled to run out this year, and she says she has no way of paying off her loans. More than $4,000 in interest has accrued during the years Brooks has struggled with the department, swelling her debt to $47,500. Citing legal obligations to protect borrowers' privacy, the department declines to comment on her case.
Anxious to avoid default, Brooks applied again in December 2010 to discharge her debt. Her application is under review, and she has been advised to expect a decision shortly.
Brooks says that she hasn't seen any improvements in the program, but that she has to keep on trying: "I don't have any other choice."
Disability Payments Garnished
An unpublished 2008 report by the federal student aid ombudsman gave a sense of just how common such failures of communication and bureaucratic obstacles are.
The report analyzed 106 borrower complaints related to disability discharge and found that in 36 percent of those cases, borrowers' discharge applications had been rejected not because of any questions about their condition, but because their doctors had not adequately responded to requests for additional documentation.
Yet the borrowers were not told that. Instead, they received letters saying only that they were being denied because of "medical review failure." In 23 percent of the cases reviewed in the report, the borrower had already been determined by Social Security to be disabled.

Patricia graduated from Dalhousie University/University of King's College with a Bachelor of Arts. She completed her Bachelor of Education at Mount Saint Vincent University and worked for a number of years in the HRSB as a teacher.
Patricia was hired by the South Shore Regional School Board shortly after completing her Masters of Education in Counselling, to facilitate the implementation of a preventative mental health program called PATHS (promoting alternate thinking strategies).
The basic premise of the PATHS program is to teach children from the age of 5 on how to identify, name, and understand their feelings, good and bad. Then to teach them how to positively work through these emotions, with the goal being that when crisis occurs in their lives, they will already have the tools needed to help handle whatever that crisis may be. This program was piloted in three elementary schools just outside of Bridgewater.
Patricia has since spent the last five years of her career in the role of Guidance Counsellor and Teacher at Forest Heights Community school, in Chester Grant where she had the opportunity to work with Dr. Stan Kutcher, in piloting his Mental Health Curriculum, which has since been released nationally.
Being born and raised in Halifax, from a very young age she has been very active in her church communities of Our Lady of Lebanon Parish and Saint Benedict's Parish (formerly Our Lady of Perpetual Help) as well as spending numerous hours volunteering for various organizations such as the IWK, Big Brothers Big Sisters and the cultural organization, Diman Association Canada.

How To Tell Fake Tag Heuer Watches
If you've found some awesome new watches, but they seem a little too cheap to be real, you might need to know how to tell fake Tag Heuer watches. There are a lot of great looking Tag Heuer watches out there, and for just about every real one, there is a fake somewhere on the market. By looking at a few key details, you'll be able to tell whether or not the watch you want is real or fake.
- Check out the glow. Real Tag Heuer watches have a high luminosity factor. The hands and numbers stand out and are really bright in the dark. If you are looking at a fake, the glow will be very faint or you might not even be able to see the hands at all.
- Look at the detail on the dial. Use a magnifying glass or a jeweler's tool to get and up close look at the dial of the watch. If the numbers and letters look fuzzy, then you are probably viewing a fake. A real Tag Heuer watch would have never left the factory with a fuzzy dial.
- Look for dust on the dial. Many fake Tag Heuer watches have been identified due to hair or dust on the top of the dial. There should be absolutely nothing there-not even fingerprints. The top of the dial should be clean and clear.
These are a few ways that you can check to be sure that the Tag Heuer watch you are looking is real. Remember, if the price looks too good to be true, then it probably is a fake.

A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)
A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) is a subversive, steamy film classic that was adapted from Tennessee Williams' 1947 Pulitzer Prize-winning play (his first) of the same name. [Early working titles for the play included The Moth, Blanche's Chair on the Moon, and The Poker Night.] Playwright Williams adapted his own play for the screen version. This film masterpiece was directed by independent director Elia Kazan (his first piece of work with Williams), a socially conscious director who insisted that the film be true to the play (that he had also directed on Broadway). However, it was opened up to include places only briefly mentioned or non-existent in the play, such as the bowling alley, the pier of a dance casino, and the machine factory.
The electrifying film tells the feverish story of the pathetic mental and emotional demise of a determined, yet fragile, repressed and delicate Southern lady (Blanche) born to a once-wealthy family of Mississippi planters. Her impoverished, tragic downfall in the squalid, cramped and tawdry French Quarter one-bedroom apartment of her married sister (Stella) and animalistic brother-in-law (Stanley) is at the hands of savage, brutal forces in modern society. In her search for refuge, she finds that her sister lives (approvingly) with drunkenness, violence, lust, and ignorance.
The visceral film, considered controversial, decadent, and "morally repugnant" challenged the regulatory Production Code's censors (and the Legion of Decency) with its bold adult drama and sexual subjects (insanity, rape, domestic violence, homosexuality, sexual obsession, and female promiscuity or nymphomania). Ultimately, it signaled the weakening of Hollywood censorship (and groups such as the Catholic Legion of Decency), although a number of scenes were excised, and new dialogue was written. And the Production Code insisted that Stanley be punished for the rape by the loss of his wife's love at the film's conclusion. In 1993, approximately three to five minutes of the censored scenes (i.e., specific references to Blanche's homosexual - or bisexual young husband, her nymphomania, and Stanley's rape of Blanche) were restored in an 'original director's version' video re-release.
The three main character roles in the ensemble were played with remarkably triumphant performances, all from various stage play casts. One film poster provided a partial film synopsis and description of characters:
...When she got there, she met the brute Stan, and the side of New Orleans she hardly knew existed...Blanche, who wanted so much to stay a lady.
- 27 year-old Marlon Brando, in his second screen role (after his first appearance in Fred Zinnemann's The Men (1950)) and recreating his 1947 Broadway role (it premiered on December 3, 1947), delivered an overpowering, memorable, and raw naturalistic performance (an example of Method acting that he learned at the Actors Studio in New York under Stella Adler) as a sexually-powerful, animalistic, brooding primal brute - Stanley Kowalski, Blanche's brother-in-law [The role was first offered to John Garfield, who rejected it because he felt the role was inferior to the female lead role.]
- Unstable, delusional, and vulnerable Southern belle heroine (and former English teacher) Blanche, sensitively portrayed by Vivien Leigh, who recreated her role from the London production of the play (directed by then-husband Laurence Olivier). [Vivien Leigh's character was a logical extension from her Scarlett O'Hara role in Gone With The Wind (1939) - a post-Rhett Butler Southern belle exhibiting a patrician facade. She was also beginning to show signs of her own emerging manic-depressive, bipolar illness in playing the part, and only appeared in three more films: The Deep Blue Sea (1955), The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone (1961), and Ship of Fools (1965). In the Broadway stage production, Jessica Tandy played the role of Blanche. The role was first offered to Olivia de Havilland.]
- Kim Hunter as Blanche's younger sister Stella (a role she originally played on Broadway) and Stanley's wife - a pivotal role
The controversial film was nominated for a phenomenal twelve nominations and awarded four Oscars (an unprecedented three were in the acting categories): Best Actress for Vivien Leigh (her second Best Actress Oscar), and Best Supporting Awards to Kim Hunter and Karl Malden. This was the first time in Academy history that three acting awards were won by a single film (this feat was later repeated by Network (1976)). In addition, the Best B/W Art Direction/Set Decoration was given to Richard Day and George James Hopkins for their naturalistically sordid sets. Remarkably, these other eight nominations were all defeated:
- Tennessee Williams' Best Screenplay nomination
- Marlon Brando's Best Actor nomination (his first of four consecutive Best Actor nominations, for Viva Zapata! (1952), Julius Caesar (1953), and On The Waterfront (1954) - the last mentioned film won Brando his first Oscar)
- Elia Kazan's Best Director nomination
- Harry Stradling's evocative Best B/W Cinematography nomination
- Alex North's Best Score nomination for the ultra-sultry, steamy score
- Nathan Levinson's Best Sound Recording nomination
- Lucinda Ballard's Best B/W Costume Design nomination
- and its Best Picture nomination
The hotly-contested, competitive year saw the Best Picture Award presented instead to Vincente Minnelli's musical An American in Paris (1951). [It was only the third musical in Academy Award history to win the top honor.] Humphrey Bogart in The African Queen (1951) took the Best Actor Award away from Marlon Brando (it was Bogart's sole career Oscar). And George Stevens was awarded Best Director for his work on A Place in the Sun (1951).
Two made-for-TV movies have been made of the famous play: a 1984 version with Ann-Margret (as Blanche), Treat Williams (as Stanley), Beverly D'Angelo (as Stella), and Randy Quaid (as Mitch), and in 1995 with Alec Baldwin and Jessica Lange (both recreating their 1992 stage roles), and also with Diane Lane (as Stella) and John Goodman (as Mitch).The Story
Set in New Orleans in the years immediately following World War II, the film opens with the arrival of a train and a pretentious southern belle Blanche DuBois (Vivien Leigh) - she has taken the train to the city. As a joyous wedding party runs by in the station, Blanche appears like an apparition or angel out of a cloud of steam emitted by the train engine, as she carries her battered suitcase. Blanche is frail and in a neurotic emotional state, a faded-beauty with ragged, bleached hair and superficial, genteel Southern propriety. In her very first lines, she expresses her delusionary confusion to a young sailor, mentioning three streetcar stops that symbolize her desperate situation. She has come as a result of her sordid 'desires' to the last stop available to her:
They told me to take a streetcar named Desire, and then transfer to one called Cemeteries and ride six blocks and get off at Elysian Fields.
The Desire Line streetcar (named Desire after Desire Street) [the symbolic assumption is that Blanche has already indulged in 'Desire' before her arrival] takes her to her sister Stella DuBois Kowalski's (Kim Hunter) apartment in New Orleans' French Quarter. There at Elysian Fields [symbolizing paradise beyond death from ancient lore] where she has come for a visit, she is surprised at the downstairs living accommodations of her sister, a small, shabby two-room tenement in a run-down neighborhood: "Can this be her home?" She finds her sister at the local bowling alley where her brother-in-law Stanley is bowling. After hugging each other, Blanche worries about her appearance: "Oh no, no, no. I won't be looked at in this merciless glare," and is concerned about where her sister lives in a derelict area: "Only Poe. Only Mr. Edgar Allan Poe could do justice to it. What are you doing in that horrible place?"
Stella has turned her back on her aristocratic background, and found happiness by marrying a working class, Polish immigrant husband Stanley Kowalski (Marlon Brando). Blanche's first glimpse of the loud, coarse, and brutish Stanley is on the bowling lanes. A fight erupts - and Stanley is in the middle of a rough and tumble controversy with some of the other players - but Stella admires him: "Oh, isn't he wonderful looking?"
While sipping on a cold drink (Blanche's preferred drink is scotch, not soda 'pop') in one of the alley's booths, Blanche tells her sister why she had to leave her poorly-paid, high-school English teaching position in Laurel, Mississippi before the spring term ended - she took "a leave of absence" due to nervous exhaustion. Holding on to reality and her struggles in life in an unreal world of her imagination, she just had to leave for a while, finding nowhere else to go but to her sister's for protection. She suffers from delusions regarding her past, her true age, and the reason for her sudden appearance. She directs the lights away from her face, lamenting: "Daylight never exposed so total a ruin."
Back at the cramped, two-room apartment with dirty, peeling wallpaper, Blanche expresses her need for human contact to find solace: "I'm not going to put up in a hotel. I've got to be near you, Stella. I've got to be with people. I can't be alone..." She is also nervous about Stella's raunchy husband, as her main intention is to win back Stella's devotion to her and her in-bred Southern aristocratic attitudes:
Blanche: Will Stanley like me or, or will I just be a visiting in-law? I couldn't stand that Stella! (She looks at a picture on the dresser of Stanley in his military uniform.)
Stella: You'll get along fine together. You just try not to compare...
Blanche: (interrupting) Oh, he was an officer?
Stella: He was a Master Sergeant in the Engineers Corp. (proudly) Decorated four times.
Blanche: He had those on when you met him?
Stella: Surely I wasn't blinded by all the brass...Of course, there, there were things to adjust myself to later on.
Blanche: Such as his, uh, civilian background. How did he take it when you said I was coming?
Stella: Oh, he's on the road a good deal.
Blanche: Oh, he travels?
Stella: Umm, mmm.
Blanche: Good.
A returning World War II veteran, Stanley was decorated for his service but now his job takes him on the road a good deal. Judging everything by the standards of Old Southern gentility, Blanche finds Stella's love for Stanley severely lacking and somewhat incomprehensible.
Seeking to minimize her sister's "reproach," Blanche quickly explains how she tried to preserve everything by sticking to their home, Belle Reve, and how she struggled to salvage what she could:
...take into consideration you left. I stayed and struggled. You came to New Orleans and looked out for yourself. I stayed at Belle Reve and tried to hold it together. Oh, I'm not meaning this in any reproachful way. But all the burdens descended on my shoulders...You were the one that abandoned Belle Reve, not I. I stayed and fought for it, bled for it, almost died for it.
Blanche rationalizes about "the loss" - the fate of their old family estate, a beautiful dream mansion named Belle Reve ('Beautiful Dream'), the aristocratic DuBois homestead in Laurel, Mississippi. Blanche had been left to care for the family holdings, but soon lost her home, her job, and her respect. Due to the family squandering its fortune, it was lost to creditors. Family deaths had also left her alone and penniless, while Stella was in bed with her husband:
I, I, I took the blows in my face and my body. All of those deaths. The long parade to the graveyard. Father, mother...You just came home in time for funerals Stella, and funerals are pretty compared to deaths. How did you think all that sickness and dying was paid for? Death is expensive, Miss Stella. And I, on my pitiful salary at the school. Yes, accuse me! Stand there and stare at me, thinking I let the place go. I let the place go! Where were you? In there with your Pollack!
When Blanche first meets the brawny Stanley, he has just returned home from bowling. They stare at each other for a short while, and then she introduces herself: "You must be Stanley. I'm Blanche." He offers her a drink, but she declines by explaining she rarely touches it. He comments:
Well, there are some people that rarely touch it, but it touches them often.
Animalistic and exhibitionistic, he removes his hot, sweat-soaked, smelly and sticky T-shirt in front of her, and changes into a clean one to "make myself comfortable." [Brando, beginning with his Broadway performance, popularized the T-shirt to be worn as a sexy, stand-alone, outer-wear garment. Originally, it was issued by the U.S. Navy (as early as 1913) as a crew-necked, short-sleeved, white cotton undershirt to be worn under a uniform.] She covertly sneaks a peek at his massive, muscular biceps and torso after he states his motto: "Be comfortable. That's my motto up where I come from." While they size each other up, he asks if she is planning to stay for a while: "You gonna shack up here?" And then he senses her distance from him - she is from an entirely anti-thetical culture:
Well, I guess I'm gonna strike you as being the unrefined type, huh?
Stanley knows from Stella that Blanche was married once when she was younger. Blanche explains what happened as she hears polka music - and associates the music with her dead husband. A distant gunshot in her head silences the music: "The boy...the boy died. I'm afraid I'm, I'm gonna be sick." [In the stage version of the play, her socially-proper young husband committed suicide because he had been caught in a homosexual encounter. The fact of her deceased husband's homosexuality is retained only through vague suggestion in the partially-censored film.]
Blanche's large steamer trunks arrive, implying that she will be remaining for an extended stay. Because it is Stanley's poker night and the disruption might upset Blanche, Stella plans to take her out to dinner and leave Stanley with a cold plate on ice. With endearing kisses, she tries to persuade Stanley to be nice to Blanche who is edgy and seems to be upset by everything. Stella suggests that Stanley tell her that she looks good:
Honey, when she comes in, be sure and say something nice about her appearance...and try to understand and be nice to her, honey. She wasn't expecting to find us in such a place...And admire her dress. Tell her she's looking wonderful. It's important to Blanche. A little weakness.
Stanley is very suspicious of Blanche's account of the demise of Belle Reve. He thinks that both of them have been swindled out of an inheritance from the family fortune:
How about a few more details on that subject...Let's cop a gander at the bill of sale...What do you mean? She didn't show you no papers, no deed of sale or nothin' like that?...Well then, what was it then? Given away to charity?...Oh I don't care if she hears me. Now let's see the papers...Now listen. Did you ever hear of the Napoleonic code, Stella?...Now just let me enlighten you on a point or two...Now we got here in the state of Louisiana what's known as the Napoleonic code. You see, now according to that, what belongs to the wife belongs to the husband also, and vice versa...It looks to me like you've been swindled, baby. And when you get swindled under Napoleonic code, I get swindled too and I don't like to get swindled...Where's the money if the place was sold?
He sees all her fancy clothing and jewelry in the trunk, gets all worked up and refuses to pamper her as Stella would have him. He throws Blanche's possessions around and violates her trunk with all its clothes, jewelry (and her love letters) - suspicious that a poor schoolteacher could have so many possessions:
Now will you just open your eyes to this stuff here. Now I mean, what - has she got this stuff out of teacher's pay?...Will you look at these fine feathers and furs that she comes to bring herself in here. What is this article? That's a solid gold dress, I believe...Now what is that? There's a treasure chest of a pirate...That's pearls, Stella, ropes of 'em. What is your sister - a deep sea diver? Bracelets, solid gold. (To Stella) Where are your pearls and gold bracelets?...And here you are. Diamonds. A crown for an empress...Here's your plantation Stella, right here...Well, the Kowalskis and the DuBois - there's just a different notion on this.
When Blanche comes out of the bathroom from a hot bath (where she was "soaking in a hot tub to quiet her nerves" - and compulsively cleansing herself of her past), Stanley is waiting for her like she is his prey. Her lady-like affectations rub Stanley the wrong way, as does the long steam bath (in the summertime!) and the disruption in his poker night plans. She notices her trunk has been partly unpacked ("exploded"), and he starts questioning her about her expensive-looking clothing ("It certainly looks like you raided some stylish shops in Paris, Blanche"). Stanley can't believe Blanche's pretentious attitude or her tales of rich and handsome suitors. He tells Blanche that he doesn't believe in complimenting women about their looks, when she appears to be fishing for compliments:
I never met a dame yet that didn't know if she was good-lookin' or not without being told. And there's some of them that give themselves credit for more than they've got. I once went out with a dame who told me, 'I'm the glamorous type.' She says, 'I am the glamorous type.' I said, 'So what?'
He boasts to Blanche that when he said that, it "shut her up like a clam...it ended the conversation, that was all." He isn't "taken in by this Hollywood glamour stuff." Blanche describes his attitude: "You're simple, straightforward, and honest. A little bit on the, uh, primitive side, I should think."
Blanche encourages him to ask any questions, because she claims that she has nothing to hide. Suspicious of her, Stanley explains the Louisiana Napoleonic Code to her: "...what belongs to the wife belongs to the husband also and vice versa." He clashes with her by not believing her stories:
Blanche: My, but you have an impressive, judicial air.
Stanley: You know, if I didn't know that you was my wife's sister, I would get ideas about you...Don't play so dumb. You know what.
Laying her "cards on the table" [like his poker buddies], she admits to Stanley that she doesn't always tell the truth, but when veracity matters, she does:
I know I fib a good deal. After all, a woman's charm is fifty percent illusion, but when a thing is important I tell the truth...

About Ellen F. Rosenblum
Attorney General Hardy Myers today released his annual report profiling nonprofit organizations entitled "Charitable Giving; It Makes a Difference." This year's report includes organizations utilizing professional fundraisers that received low ratings from national charity watchdogs.
"Oregonians are advised to use all available resources to scrutinize charitable solicitations made by professional fundraisers," Myers said. "This report will help donors avoid charities that don't make the most of their contributions."
The report, which is available on the Department of Justice (DOJ) website, includes information about charities' missions, expenditures, fundraising practices and ratings by the Better Business Bureau, the American Institute of Philanthropy, and Charity Navigator. Information on professional fundraisers, including the percentage of funds raised going directly to charity, is also included.
The report, which represents only a small sample of the more than 14,000 charities registered with the Charitable Activities Section of DOJ, is provided as a tool to inform donors how to obtain information needed to make wise giving decisions, especially in response to solicitations, by professional telemarketers. The Attorney General encourages all Oregonians to give generously, but wisely, this holiday season.

- - First time hunting. (http://www.deerhuntersclub.com/forums/lodge/9860-first-time-hunting.html)
First time hunting.
Hello all,
I would like this to be my first time out hunting and I am from Hilton New York. I have had my hunting license for about 10 year's now with no where to hunt. I have seen quite a few deer while try to hunt on state land but every time I have lined up the shot it was wrecked by someone else shooting there deer that they saw. But you cannot get mad at them getting one. I have always had the interest to hunt but growing up my parents always told me gun's where bad, Come to find out they where wrong and it is only people that are bad. I want to learn how to hunt so I can also get my kids in to it when they are old enough for it. If you have any tip that might help me become a better hunter please let me know. I hunt with a mossberg maverick 88 and I am 30 year's old. Best luck to all and happy hunting :)
take a hunter ed class and find someone that already has experiance that will take you along and show you the ropes,and teach ya right from wrong hunting technecies.Good luck and hope ya get a good'un. I was self taught myself. My dad did teach me gun safety,but only took me dove hunting.A friend of mines dad took us deer hunting when we were teens and after that just talked with other hunters and learned from doing what not to do.:thumbup:
Awesome advice from Hellbilly. Definitely get in touch with your Wildlife Management department (or department closely related to hunting laws and regulations) and find a Hunter's Safety Course before you head into the woods. Take your kids, too! No matter what age, everyone should take this course. I took the course when I was 22 and there were 6 year-olds in there with their fathers. State land always seems to be way too overcrowded. Look around in the classifieds in the newspaper or at your local sporting goods store and see if there are any hunt clubs that are looking for new members. Might be a bit costly, but its better than hunting crowded public land. Also, talk to your coworkers and friends to see if any of them need some deer management on their land (especially if deer are destroying gardens or flowerbeds). Good luck!
Welcome to the DHC buddy. From one NY'er to another.
Thank you all for the advice. I did the hunter safety course a few year's ago. I am looking for some land in the paper's now so thank you for that tip. And thank you for the welcome.
I got into hunting on my own as well. My parents had no iterest. I am what you might call obsessed however. I learned everything I know by simply asking... whenever I met a fellow hunter at a gas station or in the field or anywhere. I would talk to them and listen to their experiences and ideas and try them. I also learned a lot by my mistakes and just spending A LOT of time in the woods. Good luck!

This is a discussion on What to do with unreliable gun? within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Heres my predicament. I have a kimber pro cdp II. I bought it for concealed carry. I have 2 other guns, a sig p229 9mm ...
Heres my predicament. I have a kimber pro cdp II. I bought it for concealed carry. I have 2 other guns, a sig p229 9mm and a sig p220 which neither have ever jammed. My kimber on the other hand has had nearly 5 malfunctions. 2 cycle jams, and 3 failure to loads. All under 400 rounds total. I can't carry something that is this unreliable when I have 2 other guns that have never jammed, and I would like to have all three of my carry guns to be rotated. The fact that the kimber is the prettiest gun and most expensive gun at that isn't good enough for me. Here are my options. Keep it, and be more patient see if it will "break in" or what not. Trade it in and get only 2/3 of what I paid for it as far as trade in. Send it back to kimber which to be honest I don't really want to do because I don't want to wait months to get my firearm back. Any feedback is appreciated. Please let me know what you think you would do, and not what you think everyone else would do.

Hang on the the Kimber...send it in...it can become a dependable firearm. I would not want to pass on a problem to someone else. Get a few hundred more rounds through it prior to sending it in, you may be surprised how easily it will straighten out.

Seems like a no-brainer to me..............send it back. Man, this is another unhappy Kimber owner. No matter gun site I visit, I read about Kimber failures. And for an expense gun.
May we never forget those in uniform who protect us night and day in lands far away. And those in all wars who paid the supreme sacrifice in defense of our country. May God Bless our Troops and First Responders.
Sell it. I had a S&W M&P do the same thing to me. Everyone told me it was me. After a trip back to S&W the problems persisted. It's gone. No more S&W plastic fantastic for me.
If you cant trust it, you cant trust it. Sell it. It will always be in the back of your mind.

I had an early Pro Carry that I sent back to Kimber twice. Very accurate but it kept throwing brass in my face. They never did get it right. I sent it back a third time when the ejector broke off one of its pins. They fixed that but, still ejected brass into my face. Me, I would send it back and then trade it off.
Make sure it's well lubed, especially during break-in. Swap the Kimber mags for something else. I've had the best luck with Wilsons. Try different ammo. Both Kimbers I've owned turned out to be very reliable, after shaky starts, when I swapped mags and fed them ammo they liked.

It may still be a break-in issue. Put a few hundred rounds more through it and see what happens. If it gives you problems after that, then send it to Kimber. If it STILL gives you problems, then either take it to a good gunsmith you trust or eat your losses and trade it.

I had two Kimbers with similar issues after more than ample time for break-in. Both CDP's, one an ultra the other a compact. Traded them both. How much time, money and hassle can Kimber expect us to invest before we get a gun that works? Personally, I can't get comfortable selling a gun I know has issues. In those cases I will trade it to a shop with a smith. They're aware of it and their smith can work on it if they choose.
I have owned three Kimbers; two full size and one compact. I sent all back to Kimber more than once. I sold the two full sized ones to a friend who knew the problems. He was once a gunsmith, and got them to run finally.
Kimber never got the Compact running and I ended up sending it off to Clark, I think. Finally it is reliable, and is my range gun. My carry 1911 is a SA Compact LW SS.
In my view Springfield customer service is so superior to Kimber, and so are their guns that I would not buy another Kimber.
In the case of the OP I would send it back to Kimber at their expense (hopefully) and hope they can get it right. If not I would probably trade or sell it with the buyer knowing why.
I remember when Kimbers were said to be the best thing since sliced bread, but my experience has not shown that.
It's not just Kimber. I've had similar issues with Colts and Springfields, as well. Many people buy 1911s and have them work perfect straight from the box. Out of the half-dozen I've owned, not one would. A couple had more issues than the others but, in the end, they turned out fine.

It's a Kimber.
Burn it.
I had terrible customer service from them. They aren't worth the time to talk to or send a gun into them.
If I had known how bad they were, I would never have bought it, or I'd have turned it in to the police for destruction rather than send it in.
They are that bad.

Paris, France Oil Painting-Sacre-Coeur-Montmartre-Mid-Century Street Painting
The famous cathedral called Sacre-Coeur, glistening on the butte Montmartre, the highest point in Paris, France, is the location for this outstanding example of mid-century street painting from France. Vibrant colors and bold loose brush work depicts the brilliant white domes of the basilica crowning its most rebellious neighborhood. Post WWII this was a very popular tourist destination where many purchased art as they saw it painted in the streets. The list of artists that lived and worked here reads like the brochure from the Louvre.
I believe this is the original solid wood frame as well. In vertical format, this large oil painting is signed in the lower right corner with Paris underneath his name. I have tried to decipher the artist's signature but have not come to any definite conclusion. Thom Hanson is an educated guess.
Total measurements are 32.5 inches wide by 44.5 inches high and the canvas itself measures 24 X 36. I have had it professionally restored. There were three minor canvas issues and the photo of the back of the painting shows the professional repairs that cannot be seen from the front. The canvas and the frame are in excellent condition considering their age.
This charming image draws the viewer into the bohemian art colony on a sunny peaceful day. It is fun to imagine strolling down this narrow street with a tavern on the left, where a lady dressed in fashions from the late 1950's or early `60s is stepping off the curb in front. Across the street is a Hotel. You can almost hear the footsteps of the couple strolling arm in arm and the wheels of the cart being pushed over cobblestones.
A recent art news report said that this subject is now being painted by artists in China. That being the case makes this original street painting from a bygone era of the la Rive Gauche (the Right Bank) a definite collector's piece. Enjoy!

Doc Love: Dealing With Moody Women
this isn't healthyIt's really wonderful that Candace comes to you when she's all messed up emotionally. In other words, you don't ever see her when she's up and positive and fun — you just see her when she's down in the dumps! Like my cousin Fast Eddie Love from East L.A. says, "Oh, now I get it — this is a perfectly healthy relationship!"
I'm sure Candace hangs on your every word when she's a complete basket case. And I'm sure she'd jump off the George Washington Bridge if you told her to, but so what, dude? Like the great Doctor Freud once said, "OK, so you've got a loon mesmerized — so what?" Wow — she'd listen to you when you tell her to smoke crack? She sounds like a very intelligent girl, Percy.
you'll never have fun togetherThis weird pattern of pretending not to know you until she needs you again tells me that Candace only comes to you when she's in a very depressed state, and when she wants someone to tell her what to do and to dominate her. However, after an hour and a half of conversation, she takes off to have a blast with the friends she really likes to have fun with. As far as having fun with you, you can forget it. It will never happen.
Nevertheless, you insist that you'd love to go out with Candace. Why? Why in the world would you love to be with somebody who's a head case, someone who's bound to make your life miserable? Like my cousin Rabbi Love says, "Where are you coming from, my son?"
you've never read "the system"The more I think about your letter, the more I realize that this would actually be a positive fit for both of you. Percy, I've been coaching men a long time, and I've heard many, many rationalizations concocted by men and their egos, but I have to say that yours takes the cake! Now I know for sure that you haven't memorized my materials. You may not have even seen them, let alone read them.
What should you do about Candace? Tell her to do two things: one, forget your name; two, forget your phone number.
You shouldn't be feeling like Candace's psychiatrist, pal — I think you need her psychiatrist! Heck, you need the great Doctor Freud himself if you insist on pursuing a girl who should have a big "T" — for trouble — tattooed on her forehead.
Remember, guys: Once you realize you have a crazy on your hands, don't rationalize — get yourself out of there.
To hear my LOVE RADIO SHOW, send me your love questions or to find out more about "The System," visit me at www.doclove.com or call (800) 404-2644. For the past 30 years Doc Love has asked thousands of women, "Why do you stay with one man versus another?"

TENNIS: Djokovic off to good start
MASON, Ohio (AP) — Top-ranked Novak Djokovic beat Gilles Simon 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 in his opening match at the Western & Southern Open on Tuesday night. It is the only Masters series event he has never won, finishing as the runner-up four times.
If he wins this week, he will become the first with titles at all nine ATP Masters events. Djokovic has beaten Simon eight straight times.
Ukraine, Israel won't host Cup
LONDON (AP) — The International Tennis Federation ruled Tuesday that Davis Cup matches will be moved out of Ukraine and Israel because of security issues in both countries.
The ITF board of directors rejected an appeal by the Israel Tennis Association against last week's decision to switch the Sept. 12-14 World Group playoff against Argentina to a neutral venue because of the conflict in Gaza. The match had been scheduled to be played in Tel Aviv.
The ITF said Israel has until Thursday to nominate a venue in another country.

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- Puppy Behavior (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/puppy-behavior/)
- - Couple Questions! (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/puppy-behavior/200737-couple-questions.html)
Couple Questions!
Hi, I am the owner of a white GS. We have the puppy since it was almost 4 weeks old and is gonna be 10 weeks on Tuesday. The breeders didn't take very good care of the animals and we reported after we rescued it. Now for my questions. The dogs only got fed once a day, had fleas and worms.
1. House Breaking.
This isn't my first dog but it is my first GS. But he seems to have his good moments. We haven't had a single day that he hasn't had an accident in the house. I work 9 hour days and my gf works 8 hours. When we are work he is at either one of our houses so he doesn't have to be crated all the time. I have been trying really hard to house break him as soon as possible. I take him outside after he takes a big drink, wakes up from a nap, goes to the door, 5 minutes after eating unless its a big meal, and after playing. He will go potty outside when I tell him to do it, so he has learned that aspect so far. But for some reason he will have really bad days when he won't go outside for at all and then once he comes inside he goes right away. He will have accidents without any warning even while we are playing he will stop and just go.
I am the only one following this method and the others will let him out after he eats. I am not 100% on how often they do.
How can I get him to stop having those bad days and so many accidents when I try and take him outside every hour or 2.
2. Crating
I am a firm believer that they shouldn't be crated at all. My pitt is allowed to roam my apartment and sleep where ever she wants. She is fully house broken and once my GS house broken he will be the same way. Now the only time I have him in his kennel is when we are sleeping over night, I am in the shower, going to work until (but he is out of his kennel within 2 hours because someone comes to get him if I don't drop him at my gf parents.), or when I am taking my other dog outside. Now my issue is at night even when he is sleeping I will pick him up and put him inside his kennel after we go potty. He will start to bark and whine insanely loud and it will usually continue for 10ish minutes. I try to just ignore it but his kennel is right next to my bed and it gets really annoying. So I will yell stop, no, or just tell him he is fine.
How can I get him to realize his kennel is purely for sleeping and isn't any sort of punishment? Around 8 weeks he was doing fine with it but when I went out of town for a week I think maybe they used it for punishment and maybe he is afraid of it now. I don't know.
Thank you.
Everyone has to get on the same page with everything. You guys are confusing the puppy. Write out a routine for potty training that everyone follows. Take the pup out on a leash to go potty, if the pup doesn't go, bring him back in and put back in the crate...try taking him out again in about 10 minutes. The crate is not a bad thing, some dogs whine and cry in the beginning, but eventually they learn to like it. Most dogs will even use the crate as their safe place or place to go when they want to be alone.
I agree with the poster above, and would add that you should strive to make the crate a fun thing. Don't just put him in there, train him that if he goes inside he gets a treat, and it's a safe space.
Crating him more is far kinder than confusing him with different training and management methods, btw. Poor little guy missed out on a lot of important development by being removed from his litter so early, and now you guys are giving him mixed messages and confusing him. You guys need to all get on the same page and if you can't get your girlfriend on board, then you need to figure something else out so that you don't need to take him over there.
I would suggest taking him outdoors to potty more frequently, I think that him being not quite 10 wks old I would take him out at least every 20 to 30 min. The less the chance that he has to go inside the better he will get accustomed to going out to potty for you.
Maybe if you could put the crate close enough to your bed that he could see or smell you would satisfy him and he would feel more secure while in the crate.
Good luck with your baby boy.
I want to help, so I can tell you what I've been doing that's been pretty successful, with the help of my boyfriend (his parents took their dog to obedience school so we've picked up on some helpful things that I've found effective with my Ava).
While being raised in terrible conditions, it's still possible to re-hardwire the bad behaviors while they're still at a young age (at least, I firmly believe it is).
1. House Breaking-
This one was a little demanding, but after several pee stains and poop piles in my house, we finally got her house broken at 7 1/2 weeks. First, we picked up one 20 pack of puppy pads. While in the house after naps, eating, playing, we'd take her to the pad in a designated area, so not to confuse her and tell her to go potty. Sometimes it worked, most of the time not so much. Whenever we caught her in the act we'd pick her up right away and take her to the pad. Never scold them for going in the house, the most we ever did was pick her up and take her to where she went potty and she'd look away shamefully- which does the trick (accidents aside).
After a while, we moved to the outside world and to a certain section of our yard. She spent a while just discovering things, but the second she would use the bathroom we'd give her a treat and praise her. This is IMPORTANT! This shows them that what they just did will receive a reward and she's likely to repeat it. Initially we'd carry her outside because she was a slow pudgy thing and we didn't want to have accidents. As we head out we ask her if she needs to go potty, they will make an association with the word so later on they'll just run to the door when you ask. Pretty soon you'll be able to get a routine down as long as you're firm and consistent.
2. Crating-
I hate it as much as the next person, but it is necessary in early life. They will whine a lot the first couple of times, but as long as you present them with something soft to sleep on, and a toy to chew on they will adjust accordingly. We only put her in it at night initially so she knew it was bedtime. What you want to do, is make them realize it's not a punishment. So we would take her to the crate, tell her "hop in" and put her in it (word association that will help much later on) and give her a treat. That way they think, "Ohh i get a treat for being here, so it's clearly not because I was bad!" It's best to keep the crate in a dark room, like a bathroom. Crating is a good idea because if you have guests over that have allergies or that the dog may not be too fond of (dogs sometimes just don't like some people just like we do!) you can put them in their kennel without them carrying on like they're being murdered. Plus, if you ever need them to be boarded they won't wreak havoc in the car or wherever you take them.
This is all what has worked for me, good luck in your endeavors!
I also want to add with the crate--once the puppy starts crying, you really just have to wait it out. I understand that it's annoying, but that's puppies. They're like babies in that you have to accept that sometimes you'll be missing out on some sleep until they get a little older (and even then--it's rare, but sometimes my adult dogs will wake me up in the middle of the night because they can't hold it anymore, or will have an upset stomach and I need to doze on the couch so I can let them out to throw up in the yard, etc.).
When you talk to the puppy, either soothing him or chastising him, you're teaching him that whining gets attention from you. It's counterproductive.
That said, I'm really not a fan of "cry it out" by itself. Not acknowledging the crying has to be paired with spending time teaching him that the crate is a fun, safe place to be. Here is a blog about Crate Games and the Question of Value | Susan Garrett's Dog Training Blog which also has a link to the basic instructional Youtube video in the first line. Try some of these with your pup to help him learn to like his crate.

|Pitt coach Sue-Moy Chin and the Pitt Panthers present the WVU women's soccer team with a check for the Betty Puskar Breast Care Center.
Submitted photo
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Mallory Smith scored two goals and Erica Henderson added one in helping West Virginia secure a 3-0 shutout over Pitt on Saturday in game one of the Betty Puskar Breast Care Center Soccer Invitational at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.
After a scoreless first half of the 70-minute match, the Mountaineers needed just 36 seconds into the second session to find the back of the net. Forward Morgan Betscher worked the ball into the right corner of the field and sent a cross into the middle where Henderson finished a diving header inside the right post for the 1-0 lead.
Minutes later WVU extended its lead to 2-0 off the foot of Smith in the 40th minute. Defender Bry McCarthy sent a ball from outside the center circle, using the wind to carry the ball into the box and off the cross bar. Henderson fired a quick shot with Pitt's goalkeeper coming up with a save and forcing the ball back into the box. Smith one-timed the deflection into the back of the net from eight-yards out.
Smith finished the scoring with her second goal of the contest at the 56:06 mark off a WVU corner kick. McCarthy served a perfect ball into the middle of the box where Smith was left wide open. Smith settled the ball, took one dribble and beat Pitt's goalkeeper to make it 3-0.
The Mountaineers outshot Pitt 21-5 and held a 4-1 corner kick advantage in the unofficial stats.
West Virginia's best scoring chance of the first half came with 17:22 left on a low liner from forward Megan Mischler. Her shot was pushed wide on a diving save by the Panther goalie.
Eighteen different Mountaineers saw action on the afternoon, including WVU goalkeepers Kerri Butler and Sara Keane each working 35 minutes between the posts.
Following the contest, in which West Virginia wore its pink jerseys in support of raising breast cancer awareness, Pitt coach Sue-Moy Chin and her players presented West Virginia with a $1,500 check to support WVU's efforts to raise funds for the Betty Puskar Breast Care Center.
"We are thrilled Sue-Moy and her team again donated money for breast cancer research," said coach Nikki Izzo-Brown. "Today's game officials also donated their paychecks. It's gestures like these that help our cause and bring attention to the deadly disease that is breast cancer."
The Mountaineers return to action at 5 p.m. this evening against Akron in game two of the Betty Puskar Breast Care Center Soccer Invitational. Admission is free and open to the public.

Just do what I did when I lived in NYC.
Gun control is hitting what you aim at
I'm a young guy living in NJ with very little strings attached, I can pretty much pack a briefcase and move. With that said, I have a great job here in Atlantic City, I make more than anyone my age/my education level makes, yet I'm still leaving Jersey.. Half the reason I'm moving is because NJ really does violate my rights. I can't even tint my windows let alone get a CCW. Just buying a pistol requires a permit and from the research I did, 30+ days approval period. The other half is just the cost of living here is just way too expensive, $1k a month for rent on a 2 bedroom, 1bath 900sq ft apt.
BTW, moving back to the Sunshine State, FL. !
I voted "No" as I could not leave immediately, but I would eventually relocate.
Took me 7 years to get out of CA, but I did move.
may have to move to get a job anyway...
number seven on the worst employment outlook, number 5 on taxes, over 6% unemployment statewide
my husband would have to move for a job, and really, who WANTS to live near Philly?
"Let me control the textbooks, and I will control the state." - Adolf Hitler
I think I would, but then if FL does away with CCW...we're ALL in trouble at that point...

If my state makes CHL illegal, where am I going to move to? I know DC cause it has to be safer since no one can have a handgun there. I answered maybe, because the truth is it would not be easy for me to pick up and relocate, and if Texas makes CHL illegal I dont know where I could move to, I would never advocate breaking the law, but if the law told me it was illegal to defend myself then I would break the law. I dont carry where I am not supposed to now, and have accepted that compromise, because I choose not to go to places where I cant carry, but an outright ban? hard for me to stomache the thought. Glad I live in Texas.
Doubt that's going to happen but if it did I'd be seriously checking Texas real estate listings.
No, I have to much time and money invested in my place. If CCW were made Illegal I would open carry and stay out of the major metro areas of the state.
I probably wouldnt, not sure. I could move to Tn which is close by, or I'd open carry. it is a tough question to answer for most.
yes. even if i have to go to iraq to find a decent home and a job at least there i can keep my trusty AK.

Hey everyone, just a quick update to let you all know that over the next three weeks orders will only get packed on Sunday (sometime in the afternoon I assume) and then shipped out Monday morning.
This is because I'm bailing on the country for this time, and a top bloke is gonna cover for me while I'm away.
Normal shipping should resume on the 27th of April.
See you on the other side!
Going to be out of town for about a week over the Christmas break. This just means that any orders placed after the 23rd of December won't get shiipped out until the 3rd of January unless some kind of sheer miracle occurs. The team wishes you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and all that kind of thing, see you again in 2017 for more of the same.
Finally starting to make some traction with cleaning up the catalogue.
For you helicopter blokes that may still occasionally visit, I've so far consolidated everything under "Heli Bits"
The top level of the catalogue is slowly becoming more Multirotor / Drone focused.
If you see anything silly or stupid, feel free to let me know and I'll fix that up.
If you've been wondering why all our Gaui products are now suddenly saying "sorry bro, sold out" its because our entire Gaui inventory has found itself a new home over at ZenRC.
Please visit their website for all your Gaui needs. If you need to contact them, you can reach the Zen team by emailing email@example.com
We've had an excellent 4 year ride support the Gaui brand in Australia, but with my interests still stuck over on the dark side of RC (FPV mini quad racing), I felt Gaui deserved to be with someone who has the time and energy to focus on it. I'm still keeping my personal models, and will be happy to support ZenRC in the future when I need spares for my own fleet.
I wish Sean and the team over at ZenRC all the best with their new product line.
This will probably look best at 1080p60fps if you can handle it.
Our propellers section has expanded recently with a new shipment of just under 4000 propellers from Gemfan!
We've now got the 3 bladed 5030's in all colours available.
Bullnose is now in stock in 5045 and 6040
For your little 180's we also have 4045's
A massive re-supply of the ever popular 2 bladed 5030's
And a decent supply of 5040's for you blokes wanting a little more out of your 3s setups
I've recently tested the 5045 bullnose and am delighted with the punch and performance. I've been comparing them to HQ and DAL 5045 Bullnose. They are defeinitely stronger than the HQ's in terms of not shattering in a crash, but the DAL's are a bit tougher again - that said. I've managed to have a few of these DAL props go completely unbalanced after a few hits with obstacles to the point where I had to replace them anyway (got massive shakes yo). I'm finding the Gemfan's are great balance between performance, efficiency, cost and strength and will switch over to these once I've run out of my other bullnose props.
Also, just to clarify. All our Gemfan props come in packets of 4. They are all either CCW or CW. The pictures against those products are for illustrative purposes only, aint nobody got time to take their own photos... well, I sure don't.
Old mate has come up with a nice 3D Printed bracket to hold 2x RGB LED bars together for connecting into Cleanflight on his Mini Quads.
Once setup, it can be configured to set the LED's to any colour you desire, as well as show indicators, arm/disarm as well as throttle response and warning lights (if you desire).
Here is a link to the complete kit all ready to go. All you need to do is install the bracket in the rear of your quad and hook up the servo connector to your flight controller. We suggest getting a female servo connector hooked up to your flight controller so you can easily remove and replace the LEDs and bracket in the future. However, its up to you, if you want to solder the wires straight to your board, go for it son.
Here's a picture of mine setup on my Blackout.
The end two LEDs are to show my arm state (armed / disarmed) and I have just a straight static colour across the rest of the strip. It makes flying with friends much more fun as its easier to spot me in a forrest or carpark and hunt me down.
We currently have the full kit available now, we will be offering the LED strips as well as the 3D printed bracket as separate items later in the week.
Not sure if anyone has noticed yet, but we've got some of the new Gaui X5 upgrade parts available now.
The most notable parts are the Carbon Fiber tail booms. Available in red, yellow and green
There's also the NX4 / X4 II boom extension parts, they extend your boom to comfortably run 475mm blades (possibly bigger if you're a risk taker). You'll find them under their designated areas.
As usual, all our new stuff can be found under our new bits section.
Happy flying!

Hi everyone,
I can see when i had a sale, and how many, but how can you see which images actually sold for a specific date? (also i know i can sort my port by sales, but you still dont know which image sold on what date)
Thanks MrEco
There may be a few web or mobile apps on Envato Extras that can give you more details on your sales etc.
Thanks Kingdog, but i still cant see what picture actually just sold, i just know i sold one. Which is crazy, i must be missing something.?
I just realised, kingdog you are 'staff' and you dont know?
Id think this was a fairly fundamental question
Anyone else actually want to know what image they sold on what date?
I work in the Community team, and I guess I must not make enough sales on my anaemic PhotoDune account to explore that part of the Author Dashboard enough
If you go into your Dashboard and click on the Statement tab you can see the break down of which photos sold and on what date.
Thanks KingDog, perfect answer, i knew it must have been me, well done.
