History of Antique Edwardian Chairs
The Edwardian period ran from 1901 to 1910, following the reign of Edward VII of England. A time of booming industrialisation, furniture-making had become relegated to mechanised factories for increased efficiency. In this sense, the Edwardian period is a bridge era between hand-crafted chairs and mass-produced designs, so a chair from this time may be one or the other. Also during this time, antiques were popular and a period of revivals emerged to cater to this hungry market. Georgian, Renaissance and Tudor chair styles were highly coveted styles that skilled craftsmen tried to replicate to the best of their ability. Avant-guard modern furniture movements like Art Nouveau and Art Deco also added to the eclectic mix of styles during the Edwardian period.
Spanning a relatively short length of time, the Edwardian period defined much of its style in contrast to the preceding Victorian period. While the Victorian period was a time of heavy, dark furniture with intricate details, the Edwardian era ushered in lighter styles and materials to do away with the Victorian's long-standing furniture aesthetic.

Some chairs will be considerably cheaper and more easily accessible to furniture buyers and antique collectors alike. Representing a breakage with the heavy, dark styles of Victorian furniture, antique Edwardian chairs offer a refreshing and cheerful aesthetic that is still steeped in history and tradition.

Factors to Consider When Buying Antique Edwardian Chairs
The following list provides a few important factors to consider when buying an antique Edwardian chair.
- Age – earlier Edwardian chairs may be considered antiques, while ones crafted in the later years of the period may be considered vintage. The age of the chair also may affect the value.
- Condition - Some lighter materials that were popular in the Edwardian period, such as wicker or bamboo, may develop signs of wear earlier than sturdier hardwood chairs. Any upholstery should be checked for wear, along with scratches and signs of rust on the metal.
- Style - there are many styles that can make up an antique Edwardian chair. Whether it's an avant-garde or traditional style, the Edwardian period covered many different styles and designs.
Typical Features of Antique Edwardian Chairs
1. Blend of old and new
Antique Edwardian chairs continued the Victorian tradition of reviving style traditions, and also saw the creation of new modern trends like Art Nouveau.
2. A lighter aesthetic
In contrast to the dark woods and veneers, clunky shapes, and intricate prints of the Victorian era, antique Edwardian chairs tend to have a lighter, more cheerful look that makes a break with the past.
3. Veneer
Most pieces were veneered on a mass-produced level. Veneered inlays were also very popular.
How to Care for Antique Edwardian Chairs
Avoid placing chairs in direct sunlight or in rooms where there are sharp fluctuations in temperature, because this will bleach and damage the wood over time. The use of a humidifier or dehumidifier is recommended to regulate the levels of moisture in the air, as inconsistencies can cause wood to expand and contract, disrupting components in the chair and ruining the veneer. Rather than using damaging furniture oils, try a furniture wax or beeswax about once a year to restore the finish of the wood.
Wicker furniture should be vacuumed in between the pieces with an extension brush. In cases of mould, wash wicker immediately with a mix of mould cleaner (that is suitable for valuable wicker) and water and let air dry for one to three days. Clean spills with a diluted amount of light detergent or furniture oil soap on a cloth.

If the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Memorial, AT&T National and Bridgestone Invitational were the four majors in professional golf, this would be a season for the ages.
Tiger Woods has won them all this year, with each victory coming in his last start before playing in one of the real majors.
Unfortunately for Woods, all we can call it is the Pre-Major Slam, and that's just not very sexy. In the majors, he hasn't been able to get it done, finishing tied for sixth in the Masters and U.S. Open and missing the cut in the British Open.
After the British, there was much gnashing of teeth over Woods' supposed lost year. Then he reeled off victories in his next two starts, including Sunday at Firestone, and with five wins already on his 2009 calendar, it would be laughable to call this campaign anything but superb.
Coming off knee surgery and getting a late start, Woods has won nearly half (5-for-11) of the stroke-play tournaments he has played.
Yet Woods himself will surely feel an emptiness in his gut if he can't win the PGA Championship this week at Hazeltine National in Chaska, Minn. He has been standing on 14 major championships — four behind Jack Nicklaus — since his stunning triumph in the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines last June.
For the world's best golfer, enduring 14 months without the sweet hoisting of major hardware is like inching along in rush-hour traffic behind the wheel of a Ferrari.
The people in the business of golf are impatiently waiting, too.
"We've had three majors this year that, while having compelling stories, could have been phenomenal stories if the outcomes had been just a little different," CBS on-course analyst Peter Kostis said yesterday in a teleconference. "For some reason, I think this fourth one will be the one that knocks the socks off the other three. I think something special is going to happen."
The year's first three majors have teased fans, only to drop them with a disappointing thud at crunch time. Angel Cabrera (Masters), Lucas Glover (U.S. Open) and Stewart Cink (British Open) are all unquestionably worthy winners, strong players who seized their moment. But how much grander it would have been to see, respectively, Kenny Perry, Phil Mickelson and Tom Watson stand as champions.
Chalk it up to the unpredictability of the majors, of which Woods knows well. He had a "Band-Aid swing" at the Masters and still made a stirring charge on Sunday playing with an equally inspired Mickelson; a bad run of 4-over in his last four holes in his first round doomed him at Bethpage, and on a course new to him at Turnberry, Woods battled his swing in a left-to-right wind and missed the British cut by a shot.
After that last one, the TV talking heads were aghast. "What's wrong with Tiger?!" they cried.
Simple answer: The majors are hard. That's why they're majors.
"No question about it, he is the victim of his own success," Kostis said. "On one hand, Tiger is completely unlike anybody else out there playing. On the other hand, he is exactly like everyone else. He has his days when his rhythm goes off, his putting goes off, his ball striking goes off, just like everybody else who plays golf."
Kostis said he still doesn't see a fully recovered Woods.
"In my opinion, he's nowhere near 100 percent," he said. "I want to give him props for a phenomenal year to this point. He desperately wants to win majors, but I also think Tiger is measuring himself with a little bit of a different yardstick coming off the surgery."
Woods happens to adjust to his down days better than most, but the demanding conditions of majors aren't always conducive to great escapes. Ask Mickelson, who has been standing on three major titles since the '06 Masters.
Mickelson is certainly a major storyline this week, having missed the British Open to be with his wife, Amy, and mother, Mary, during their breast cancer surgeries. But the pressure is all on Woods, who, interestingly, will be trying to win for a third consecutive calendar week for just the second time in his career. The only other time he scored the natural treble was at the end of the '99 season.
"The other guys definitely want to stop him," Nick Faldo said. "But this one looks like the only person who can beat Tiger Woods is Tiger Woods. It is really as simple as that, I feel."
Hazeltine figures to be a friendly place for Woods, and if he were to win this week, the PGA would become his most successful major with five titles, compared to four at the Masters.
In the 2002 PGA in Chaska, Woods trailed eventual winner Rich Beem by five shots with five to play in the final round. Then he produced an electric charge, birdieing the final four holes for a closing 67. Beem admirably staved off Woods by making an eagle at the 11th and a 35-foot birdie on the tough, par-4 16th to win his first and only major.
In the seven years since, Beem has not won again on the PGA Tour, while Woods has collected 37 official titles, including six majors.
Hazeltine, which is hosting its fourth major, has been beefed up considerably since 2002. About 314 yards have been added for a majors-record total of 7,674 yards. In a four-hole stretch on the back nine, the players will face the longest par-3, par-4 and par-5 in PGA history. The par-4 12th is 518 yards, the par-3 13th is 248 and the par-5 15th is 642. Three of the four par-5s are over 600 yards.
"I'm not Dustin Johnson, so I can't get there," Woods said with a laugh last week. Johnson is third on the tour with a 308.5-yard driving average, while Woods is tied for 26th at 297.3.
Jim Furyk, with a 277-yard average, isn't going to cry for either one of them. But Woods thinks it might not be a bomber's paradise if the par-5s are three-shot holes. Then again, he said, length is never going to hurt you on a course this long.
"The more they try to Tiger-proof it, the more it plays into his hands," Kostis said. "The golf course is so long you could actually make a case that a medium-length hitter is going to do as well because you're going to have to lay up and use your short game and all that stuff. But, what aspect of that part of golf does Tiger not do well? I mean, he's got it covered."
Ratings boom
CBS is enjoying its position heading into the PGA and "Glory's Last Shot." It has been the network of record for four of Woods' five wins this year, and the impact Woods has on ratings are predictable and impressive.
CBS News and Sports President Sean McManus said yesterday that the national overnight Nielsen ratings for Sunday's final round of the Bridgestone Invitational were up 104 percent from last year, when Woods was not playing and Vijay Singh won.
In Woods' other victories this year on CBS, the Sunday ratings were up 100 percent (Memorial), 180 percent (AT&T National) and 164 percent (Buick Open).
In San Diego on Sunday, during the two hours when the golf went head-to-head with the Padres-Mets game, the Bridgestone pulled a 3.3 rating to 3.1 for baseball. The average rating for the four-hour Bridgestone telecast here was 3.1, up 158 percent from last year's 1.2.
"The numbers are pretty remarkable," McManus said of the national marks. "It's nothing new. But I think because Tiger was off for an extended period of time, and he has not been as competitive in the majors, that when he is on the leaderboard it somehow feels a little more special these days."
Woods to be fined
Woods will be fined by the PGA Tour for his public criticism of a rules official after winning the Bridgestone Invitational, a tour official said. The official spoke yesterday on condition of anonymity because the tour does not publicize fines.
Woods was bothered after his four-shot victory Sunday because he and Padraig Harrington were put on the clock at the par-5 16th. He said that caused Harrington to rush three difficult shots, leading to triple bogey.
European Tour chief referee John Paramor told Woods and Harrington they were being timed. Woods said he told Harrington after it was over, "I'm sorry that John got in the way of a great battle."
(Update: Woods on Tuesday told the Associated Press that its original report was erroneous and he was not fined.)
U.S. Am qualifiers
Nine players with San Diego ties have qualified for the U.S. Amateur, to be played Aug. 24-30 at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Okla. They are: Patrick Duncan Jr., Ben Itterman, Connor Driscoll, Ian Coffman, Sejun Yoon, Michael Mendez, Josh Dupont, Sam Chien and Matt Hoffenberg.Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

Manjeet Sidhu's review on Maruti Suzuki Ciaz ZXi+ RS
Year of Manufacture : 2016 | Driven no. of Kms. : 1400
- Pros:
- Cons:
This is a really good performer sedan with premium quality interiors and stylish exteriors. The projector headlamps, ORVM with turn indicators, alloy wheels and the comparatively larger dimensions gets it a elegant on the road image. The comfort features of Auto AC with rear AC vents, advanced music system with touch screen Smart play system deliver excellent quality of music. The build quality should have been better with stronger body panels and the exteriors could have been made bit sleek. It's a good selection as a premium quality sedan worth the money spent.

Planned Parenthood Saved Me: Women Tell Their Stories
In the wake of the attacks on Planned Parenthood by Congressman Cliff Stearns and the Susan G. Komen Foundation, social media and tech guru Deanna Zandt created a tumblr this week at which women are telling their stories about how Planned Parenthood saved their lives through early cancer detection and other means.

Appreciate our work?
Rewire is a non-profit independent media publication. Your tax-deductible contribution helps support our research, reporting, and analysis.
This is but one of many stories that are being told on the site:
When I was 21, just out of college, I had a wonderful job that, unfortunately, didn't provide me with health insurance. I had never before considered Planned Parenthood for gynecological services because I had always been insured under my parents. Now, I had no other options for routine care. I made peanuts, and couldn't afford a doctor's visit.
During my visit to the PP in Richmond Va., I was shocked when the nurse practitioner discovered a breast lump. She told me it was probably harmless, but that I would need to follow up with a doctor. I realized the long-term implications of this. So, I got a new job, with health insurance, got a doctor, got a sonogram, and got surgery. I would never have discovered what was hiding just beneath the surface of my skin if I hadn't been able to access inexpensive health care services provided by Planned Parenthood.
I'm incredibly lucky that I'm 100% healthy. I know that many many other men and women are out there right now, with no access to the nurses, doctors and tests that could catch this cancer early.
Planned Parenthood doesn't care about how much money you make, where you grew up, how much education you had, or what you look like. They will treat you the same as everyone else.
I will always be grateful for the services they provide, and will show my support with my donations.

Caleb Devereaux is saved by an angel, but is she of the heavenly variety or a real flesh and blood woman?
Hot searing pain speared through Cal's chest with every breath he took. He felt as if a red hot poker gouged his flesh, slowly twisting and turning to increase his torment. Sweat pouring into his eyes blurred his vision. His whole body burned with such intensity he wondered why he didn't burst into flames.
"This is your first taste of hell, Caleb Devereaux," he muttered. "Get used to it." At least he had sent the Tolson brothers on ahead to meet Satan. The fires of hell were probably already burning those vicious hombres to a crisp.
A warm breath fanned his face, followed by the fleeting touch of soft hands stroking his forehead. His eyes creaked open and an angel's face hovered above him. She had milky white skin, huge pale blue eyes and golden hair. A whiff of lavender infused his nostrils. Did angels smell of lavender?

Demand is soaring for lithium, which is used in rechargeable batteries for smartphones, iPads and electric vehicles. Weeks ago I wrote in this article that "Despite the lithium sector being in a correction for six weeks, attention should be paid to this dynamic sector which may be just on the verge of breaking out higher." The lithium ETF (NYLIT) was trading below $13 when that article was written testing the 200 day moving average.
Now the lithium ETF is poised to make a powerful breakout at new 52 week highs at $14. A game changing event occurred last week when Albemarle (NYSE:ALB) paid over $6.2 billion to buy the world's largest publicly traded lithium producer Rockwood Holdings (NYSE:ROC).
This is one of the largest chemical deals and the lithium industries biggest M&A transaction in history. Demand has doubled in the past decade as lithium ion battery use has grown in mobile technology. Growth in the lithium sector has been far outpacing other sectors. Some experts believe demand could even grow faster over the next decade especially as electric vehicles gain market share.
The recent M&A news combined with Tesla's (NASDAQ:TSLA) announcement that they will build a "gigafactory" in the Southwestern US makes me believe that consumption will soar over the coming decade and domestic lithium assets could rise exponentially in value. Remember each electric vehicle contains more than forty pounds of lithium.
The key for investors is finding potential sources of the raw material in North America. Don't forget the Chinese paid over $625 million for Australia's Talison. I expect further deals to be announced by one of the major producers such as Rockwood , Sociedad Quimica y Minera (NYSE:SQM) and FMC Corp (NYSE:FMC) as they are all looking to capitalize on the growth of this sector. These three stock make up over 43% of the lithium mining ETF. Look for these major companies to acquire lithium mining assets in North America trading at significant discounts.

Tool: Hitachi KC18DHL 18-Volt Lithium-Ion 2-Tool Combo Kit
What is that hellacious noise? It's an Impact Driver, but it wasn't the lightweight Hitachi WH18DSAL 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Driver.
When my partner showed up a few years ago with a Hitachi heavy-duty cordless impact driver, to help assemble a large deck, I couldn't believe the racket that thing produced. With the tightening of each of a hundred lags, carriage-bolts and hold-down nuts came the most horrendous clamor that I could only hope would immediately stop. I rest assured that I had no use for that cordless tool, hated the volume of it and felt all the rap-a-tapping was weak cordless mechanics attempting the job of my corded Porter-Cable …and for what?
That was a different tool and a different time …a time before I got my hands on the impact driver from his newer, smaller and lighter Hitachi KC18DHL 18-Volt Lithium-Ion 2-Tool Combo Kit. The impact driver from this combo kit is a tool with a completely different purpose, lighter, fast, long-lasting and… something I've just discovered. It's really an impact screw-gun and … I need one.

Please use the form above to request admissions info for Mott Community College
Mechanical engineering degrees typically take four to five years to complete, and result in a Bachelor of Engineering (BEng), Bachelor of Science (BSc or BS), or Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (BME). In the US, most undergraduate mechanical engineering programs are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Mechanical engineering programs include courses on composites, thermodynamics, engine design, fluid dynamics, control theory, robotics, and computer-aided design (CAD). In addition to the core mechanical engineering curriculum, many mechanical engineering programs offer more specialized programs and classes, such as control systems, fuel cell technology, and biomechanics.
Many mechanical engineering companies have begun to incorporate computer-aided engineering (CAE) programs into their existing processes, including 2D and 3D solid modeling computer-aided design (CAD), enabling faster and more exhaustive visualization of products. Other CAE programs commonly used by mechanical engineers include product lifecycle management (PLM), and analysis tools such as finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). Further, automation in the form of industrial robots allow businesses to save money on manufacturing costs, and ensure precision quality control. The median annual income of mechanical engineers in the US workforce was $80,580, highest when working for the government ($92,030), and lowest in education ($57,090). Beyond major requirements within the mechanical engineering department, you may consider Lone Star College North Harris science program as an adjunct to your primary course of study.

She's still tiny.
Like you'd expect any different from little rose.
At almost 19 months, she's 17.4 pounds and a whooping 30 inches, but I think they might have stretched her for that. At the rate she's going, she'll be 22 pounds at 3. She'll my longest RF child.
All that matters though is that she's healthy. We still need to see the endo in May and make sure nothing else is up with her thyroid, otherwise we don't need to go back until Sept. for her 2 yr.

I've been having a bit of fun lately posting custom wedding garters on the bride's actual wedding date. (It is the small things in life, really!!) Here is custom wedding garter whose bride is getting married today! It is a vibrant navy and coral
combination that just popped when I put it together. I would die to see the rest of this bride's wedding, I'm sure the navy and coral details are just amazing!
This is a wedding garter set, so it has a matching tossing garter. The main garter is a navy blue grosgrain background with a coral grosgrain knot tied in the middle (1.5 inches wide). On either side of the knot in white, I hand embroidered the couple's initials and wedding date. The matching tossing garter is a navy grosgrain background with a white satin stripe and a coral grosgrain stripe (5/8 inch wide).
Happy wedding day, P! Thank you so much for letting me make this wedding garter set for you!

An end to the AIDS epidemic is feasible, as Michael Gerson explained in his Nov. 11 column, "Do we have the will to end AIDS?," thanks to the prevention benefit of AIDS treatment and other innovations.
Another benefit of this treatment is that it sharply reduces deaths from tuberculosis, which is the primary killer of people living with HIV/AIDS. But to fully succeed in Africa, where TB and HIV/AIDS are often two sides of the same coin, we have to quickly identify people who have TB or who are vulnerable to it and get them the services they need. We also must develop a test for TB that is just as fast and easy as an HIV test.
Fortunately, research is proceeding on such a test, and U.S.-backed programs such as the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief and the Global Fund are saving countless lives affected by both AIDS and TB.
But we face a historic choice. Do we stall or even cut these programs to achieve a relatively tiny budget savings, as proposed in the House of Representatives, or do we push boldly forward?
The answer is clear: We must seize this moment.

Laura's gone :(
Chico Travel Blog› entry 5 of 5 › view all entries
How sad! We had to take her back today. I drove to the airport (about 1 1/2 hrs from Chico), and then Jesse hopped in the driver's seat to drive around a few times while I walked Laura inside. It felt weird saying goodbye, and I thought, "I guess this is how people do things when they live away from family." Depending on where Jesse chooses to go to law school, we might get good at dropping people off at airports... but so far, I don't like it. :)
Anyway, tonight I got an email from the airline, telling me 'my flight' was scheduled to depart Houston tomorrow morning and connect in Miami! I called the airline right away, because Laura was supposed to connect in Houston and fly straight home tonight. I had a freaking out moment when they told me her flight had been delayed touching down in Houston because of weather and that she wouldn't fly out till tomorrow. I pictured a 16-yr-old by herself with no cell phone, no money for food or phone calls, sleeping in the airport! Of course I was overreacting, because the airline provided her a phone to call Mom, and a place to stay, and meal vouchers. And a nice stewardess even helped her get a flight directly to Orlando so she won't have to fenangle the Miami airport (yay!). The only thing I'm mad about now is that she could have stayed another whole day with ME if she was going to miss another day of school! Oh well. An adventure for her to talk about. I can't wait to hear it from her. :)

Ambulance care assistant and patient transport service driver
Ambulance care assistants or patient transport service (PTS) drivers move people to and from clinics and hospitals.
Working life
As well as driving, ambulance care assistants and PTS drivers also lift and help patients in and out of the vehicle. They make sure patients are safe and comfortable during the journey and arrive on time for their appointment. Some of their passengers might be anxious about their visit so the driver or assistant may talk to them to reassure them. Drivers and assistants usually cover a particular geographical area. They often see the same people on a regular basis and get to know them.
Some drivers work alone, driving a car to transport one or two more able-bodied people at a time. Others may work as part of a two-person team using a specially designed ambulance with a tail-lift for wheelchairs, carrying several people on each journey.
Ambulance care assistants are trained in resuscitation in case a patient is taken ill while in their care. Other duties include making sure that the vehicle is clean and tidy and keeping an accurate record of their journeys.
More experienced PTS drivers may take on specialist work such as transporting:
- babies
- mental health patients
- people nearing the end of their lives
- kidney patients
Drivers and assistants are based at a central depot such as a large hospital or ambulance station, with a team of other assistants.
Training and development
Ambulance care assistant and patient transport service drivers usually have an initial two to three week training course. This covers:
- moving and handling techniques
- first aid
- basic patient skills
- safe driving techniques
Training includes practical assessments and written exams. Once you have passed these tests, you are allocated to an ambulance station. You work under the guidance of a trained supervisor before working unsupervised.
Later you could take further training to work with patients with particular needs, such as kidney patients or babies.
Want to learn more?
- Pay and conditions Expand / Collapse
Most jobs in the NHS are covered by the Agenda for Change (AfC) pay scales and ambulance care assistants usually start on bands 2 or 3. This pay system covers all staff except doctors, dentists and the most senior managers. Adult nurses in the NHS will usually work standard hours of 37.5 per week. Terms and conditions can vary for employers outside of the NHS.
- Where the role can lead Expand / Collapse
You could progress to become a team leader or supervisor. You would be in charge of a team of assistants and drivers, responsible for allocating work and drawing up transport schedules.
You could take further training to become an emergency care assistant. With more experience, you could apply to train as a paramedic. You would have to pass entrance exams and meet other requirements before being accepted onto a paramedic course.
- Job market and vacancies Expand / Collapse
Most NHS organisations advertise their job and apprenticeship vacancies on NHS Jobs, including those who run NHS services. Some advertise on their own websites. You can find a list of NHS organisations at NHS Choices.
If you're applying for a role either directly in the NHS or in an organisation that provides NHS services, you'll be asked to show how you think the values of the NHS Constitution apply in your everyday work. Find out more about NHS values.

Smokers, retailers burn as Pa. raises cigarette tax
When Pennsylvania's cigarette tax goes up by a buck per pack on Monday, it will give smokers one more reason to quit or cross the border.
The tax, headed to $2.60 from $1.60, will push the price of a pack above $7, the largest single increase on the state's smokers since Pennsylvania first imposed a cigarette excise tax in 1935.
For Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf and the Republican-controlled Legislature, it was the biggest step so far toward addressing a long-term deficit that has badly damaged Pennsylvania's credit rating.
Brent Johnson, a construction handyman and pack-a-day smoker from suburban Harrisburg, said he wouldn't change the habit that costs him $6.84 per pack.
"It is what it is," Johnson said. "I used to live in New York, so I'm used to paying $7, $8, $9 per pack."
Still, Johnson isn't happy about it. It isn't right to target smokers, he said, when lawmakers have other options to balance the budget.
"They're taking someone's habit and they're taking advantage of it," Johnson said while finishing a cigarette on a downtown Carlisle sidewalk. "They could have put casinos in airports and been done with it."
The House passed a wide-ranging bill in June to expand gambling in Pennsylvania that included allowing casino-style gambling parlors in airports, but it stalled in the Senate. Supporters had touted it as a way to pump up state tax collections, alongside a cigarette tax increase.
On Monday, Pennsylvania's roughly 14,400 licensed cigarette retailers will boost the price of cigarettes, if they haven't already.
The increase will make Pennsylvania's tax the 10th-highest in the nation, up from a tie with Ohio and Delaware at 23rd highest. It could also make Pennsylvania the top state in tax revenue collections from cigarettes, according to data from the Washington-based Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids.
The per-pack cigarette tax in Philadelphia will be $4.60, counting a $2 per-pack tax added in Philadelphia in 2014 to help fund the city's schools.
Cigarette taxes could be going up elsewhere, too. Petitions are seeking to put higher cigarette taxes on the fall ballot in California, Colorado, Missouri and North Dakota.
Pennsylvania's Department of Revenue estimates that the higher tax will generate another $425 million a year for the state treasury.
Meanwhile, it estimated that cigarette sales will decline 9 percent, due to both the tax increase and an increase in the minimum retailer markup from 6 percent to 7 percent in the same law.
Smokers who live along Pennsylvania's borders will now have another excuse to make a one-stop run to a border state for cheaper gas and beer. Pennsylvania's gas tax is the nation's highest, thanks to a 2013 transportation funding bill, while takeout beer remains largely the province of distributors and bars in Pennsylvania.
"Now you add another major product to the list with cigarettes," said Alex Baloga, vice president of external relations for the Harrisburg-based Pennsylvania Food Merchants Association. "You're potentially buying cheap alcohol, tobacco and gas somewhere else."
An April survey of 200 tobacco retailers for the association found that 83 percent believe the new tobacco taxes would hurt their business. More than half said that tobacco sales are very important to their bottom line and that higher tobacco taxes would require them to slash payroll.
Dawn Alonzo, 37, has smoked for 20 years, and the higher tax is one more reason now for her to keep trying to quit. The Carlisle resident has tried to quit for the past year, at the urging of her children, and she has set Aug. 31 -- her grandmother's birthday -- as her drop-dead day to stop. That means that, at least for a month, she'll pay an extra $1 per day or so.
"For right now until I can slowly wean myself off," Alonzo said, "I'll have to make do."

Collaborative Research Networks
Collaborative Research Networks (CRNs) were formed at the 2000 Annual Meeting of the Law and Society Association (LSA) in Miami to facilitate international research collaboration in selected topics for presentation at the meeting in Budapest in July 2001. The CRNs met twice at the meeting in Miami Beach. They have continued their work, primarily by electronic means and by organising sessions at subsequent Law and Society Association meetings.
CRNs bring together scholars from all parts of the world.
CRN 27 Punishment & Social Control
The chief objective of our CRN is to bring together seasoned and younger scholars from multiple disciplinary fields and perspectives who are engaged in studying the regressive impacts of formal and informal punitive and social control regimes on community life, within carceral institutions, and implications for governance. We also invite those involved in studying the progressive impacts of rehabilitation and restorative programs across these various spheres of inquiry.
Finally, we invite scholars interested in the ways formally and informally organized groups engage in acts of contestation and resistance from a multitude of perspectives. We also hope the CRN will serve as a vehicle for organizing cross-disciplinary and cross-national research, discussion, and debate on this ever important and growing agenda of research and to create opportunities for alliances with social justice and human rights organizations.
Specifically, we want to foster dialogue and collaboration between scholars passionate about understanding (1) the closed environment of carceral institutions (prisons, hospitals, and other private and public enclosures) ; (2) the ramifications of formal and informal social control practices on the geographies and experiences of individuals, families, communities, and societies; (3) the history and contemporary (or dialectical) forms of penal oppression on socially aggrieved groups across axes of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and ability and; (4) the consequences of increased technological capabilities and growing surveillance regimes on current punishment and social control regimes.

Dems Cite Manipulation in Climate Report
Monday, December 10, 2007; 6:17 PM
WASHINGTON -- The White House has systematically tried to manipulate climate change science and minimize the dangers of global warming, asserts a Democratic congressional report issued after a 16-month investigation.
Republicans called the report, issued Monday by Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., a "partisan diatribe" against the Bush administration.
The report relies on hundreds of internal communications and documents as well as testimony at two congressional hearings to outline a pattern where scientists and government reports were edited to emphasize the uncertainties surrounding global warming, according to Waxman.
Many of the allegations of interference dating back to 2002 have surfaced previously, although the report by the Democratic majority of the House Oversight and Reform Committee sought to show a pattern of conduct.
"The Bush administration has engaged in a systematic effort to manipulate climate change science and mislead policymakers and the public about the dangers of global warming," the report concludes.
It said the White House over the years has sought to control public access to government climate scientists, suppressed scientific views that conflicted with administration policy and extensively edited government reports "to minimize the significance of climate change."
The White House called the findings "rehash and recycled rhetoric" that has been addressed by administration officials in the past. "It's a thinly veiled attempt to distract attention from the administration's efforts ... at the Bali summit," said White House spokeswoman Emily Lawrimore.
The report was issued as government officials from across the globe were meeting in Bali, Indonesia, to map out a strategy for dealing with climate change after 2012 when the Kyoto Protocol on climate expires. The United States is a participant.
Rep. Tom Davis of Virginia, the ranking Republican on the House committee, issued his own report disputing the Democrats' conclusions.
The Democrats "grossly exaggerated" claims of political interference and ignored "the legitimate role of policymakers, instead of scientists, in making administration policy." said the GOP rebuttal. It said requests to the media about science were referred to scientists.
Among the findings cited by the Democrats:
_ The White House Council on Environmental Quality, or CEQ, made 294 edits to the administration's 2003 strategic plan for its climate change science program. It said the changes were to either emphasize uncertainties or diminish the importance of the human role in global warming.

Home away from home.
What a beautiful house. Everything you need is available.
The house is spacious and good maintained.
The house was even better as shown at the pictures.
The location is just perfect. 5 Minutes away from a Publix for your groceries, and only a 10 minutes drive to the local beach.
Lots of things to do in the area.
The contact with the owner was really nice. I would recommend this house to all my friends and family as I am sure everybody will love this house and it's location.
I am sure that we will come back!
Thanks for a great time!
We again stayed this past January at this lovely house. Everything was exactly the same one year later. Please see my review from the previous year. A perfect house to enjoy Florida in the winter! All the accolades still are true. Thank you so much.
We stayed in this lovely home for three months in 2015. It exceeded all of our expectations as far as cleanliness, location and amenities. The heated pool was splendid as was the master bedroom suite and the two extra bedrooms. It honestly felt like home from the moment we opened the front door- we never felt like we were in a rental house. Located between Venice and Sarasota, many beaches, restaurants, museums, theaters and shopping were all close by. The house is in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to Tamiami Trail (Rt 41)The Legacy Trail is a short walk or bike ride from the house.There is a friendly, helpful contact person if you need him. Our stay here was perfect.
This property was beautifully and spotlessly clean! Everything looked new. A spacious contemporary design with lots of windows to bring the outside in. I have a bad back and the beds were comfortably firm. We enjoyed sharing it with family and friends. The little ones loved their room with Disney character photos on the walls. They supplied 4 bikes and we enjoyed biking on the Legacy trail only 5 minutes from the house. The few repairs that arose were quickly taken care of as the friend/manager lives down the street and attended to the repairs in a very timely manner. There's lots of beach equipment too! The house is fully equipped....just bring your clothes. It's a 5 minute drive to the Nokomis Beach. Located on a cul de sac street, just a couple of blocks from Rt. 41, yet very quiet outside. Neighborhood was quiet and pleasant for taking walks. We're very familiar with the area as there are many lovely restaurants, especially ones overlooking the water. We highly recommend this property.
What a wonderful place to call home while on vacation. Very roomy and contemporary in style. Very well managed and clean. Stayed during the winter months and never once, did we ever wish we were somewhere else. "YES" is our recommendation.
We were pleasantly surprised in finding this jewel of a home to spend our Christmas vacation at. The home is just like the pictures. Lots of open space and spotless. The owner is excellent to work with. If we could have changed anything it would have been to spend more time at this location. We would highly recommend this location.
Nokomis Beach is 3 miles away! The house is situated in an open community in a very quiet location and the breakfast sandwiches can be purchased on foot or by bike.
Venice, the Venice of Florida can be reached in just 5 minutes by car. Downtown Venice invites every day and the season for a walk. Shopping times, Outlet Center and all variations of shops are nearby. The Sarasota area attractions, such as the Ringling Museum of Art, Sarasota Jungle Gardens, Mote Marine Aquarium, Selby Gardens and cruises on the Sarasota Bay can be reached within 20 minutes by car. North of Sarasota Tampa offers a wealth of activities. Day trips include Disney World in Orlando, only two hours away by car.

Fabregas boost for Gunners
Cesc Fabregas is expected to be fit to face West Ham, but William Gallas is out for a further two matches.
Last Updated: 18/03/10 1:46pm
Cesc Fabregas is expected to be fit for Arsenal's game against West Ham United on Saturday, but William Gallas is out for a further two matches.
Arsenal captain Fabregas has sat out the club's last two fixtures after aggravating a hamstring injury in the 3-1 win over Burnley earlier this month.
However, the Spain midfielder has made positive progress from the injury and should be back in Arsene Wenger's side for the weekend visit of West Ham.
Fabregas will undergo a fitness test on Friday, along with Tomas Rosicky, but Wenger is hopeful his skipper will be available.
"Cesc and Tomas have a final test tomorrow morning," Wenger told Arsenal TV Online.
"They should be available for Saturday.
"From the last game we don't lose anybody. So normally we should have Fabregas, Carlos Vela and Rosicky back. Plus of course we have Song coming back from suspension."
The news is less positive for Gallas, however, with the French defender having not played since last month's 1-0 win over Liverpool.
Having already missed six matches due to his calf injury, Gallas will also be unavailable against West Ham and against Birmingham the following weekend.
Wenger added: "William Gallas will not be available this week or at Birmingham. It is going on and on. It is a concern.
"It is an endless calf strain and so we need Sol Campbell and Mikael Silvestre to be highly ready to help us out."

Mobile phones have what is called a baseband ASIC which is based on a certain technology (CDMA, WCDMA, LTE). These mobiles talk to base stations, large towers with antennas mounted on top. Both the base station and the mobile have send and receive capability. They both speak the same language. As the mobile phone gets farther away from teh base station, the base station asks the mobile phone to increase its power. As it gets close, the base station has the mobile decrease its power. As the mobile gets to the edge of the base stations cell coverage, through the mobile switching center (MSC) it alerts the neighboring base station that a mobile is approaching. The current base station then perform a handoff to the next base station and that happens as you travel from one cell site to the next. You keep getting handed off to the closet base station. It's all rather amazing what goes on behind the scenes when you make a simple cell phone call from yor car while driving.

How many of you have husband's that are STUBBORN! Plumbing is my husband's least favorite thing, and when something along the lines of a water pipe springs a leak, I want to run and hide. My husband can be so stubborn though, and instead of calling a plumbing company he will find the leak and fix it himself.
With this it means I better come out of hiding. I usually end up having to make several trips to the hardware store to get the right parts. This is the not so fun job of the wife. Often times we don't even know there is a leak until the water bill has sky rocketed!
One thing we have learned the hard way it to always have an updated phone number with the water company. A few years ago we sprung a water leak underground. Since this was on the other side of the water pump it was our responsibility. With the new smart meters being in place the water company noticed we were using a large amount of water. They tried to reach us by phone with no luck, instead of shutting off the water, and waiting for me to call and fuss, they let the leak stay going through-out the weekend.
Once the new week began they waited another three days before making their way out to our home to let us know we had a leak. We were then informed we were going through hundreds of gallons of water in a short amount of time. We quickly shut the water off, and my husband located the water leak rather fast. It ended up being a 45 cent part.
At that time my anxiety kicked in and we waited for the dreaded water bill. I was thinking we were going to be looking at about 80 to 100 dollars. When the bill came and it was almost $250 dollars, I wanted to scream!
When you don't really have much money to work with, and you get a bill that is $235 dollars MORE than it usually runs, you get a bit depressed and moody. I got on the phone with the water company and I was not so happy, while I know it wasn't their fault, it also wasn't my fault and I felt as though they didn't do their best to stop the problem. I made arrangements to pay the bill.
It took me about 2 months, because the water company did drop the bill in half so instead of the 245 we paid a little over 100. Not that bad, but I wasn't at all happy.
When it comes to plumbing does your husband try to fix it himself, or do you always call in the plumbers?
This is a sponsored post however, all the points and views are my own.

In War Made New, acclaimed author Max Boot explores how innovations in warfare mark crucial turning points in modern history, influencing events well beyond the realm of combat. Combining gripping narrative history with wide-ranging analysis, Boot focuses on four "revolutions" in military affairs and describes key battles from each period to explain how inventions ranging from gunpowder to GPS-guided air-strikes have remade the field of battle and shaped the rise and fall of empires.
Bringing to life battles from the defeat of the Spanish Armada to Wellington's victory at Assaye, War Made New analyzes the Gunpowder Revolution and explains warfares evolution from ritualistic, drawn-out engagements to much deadlier events, precipitating the rise of the modern nation state. He next explores the triumph of steel and steam during the Industrial Revolution, including the British triumph at Omdurman and the climax of the Russo-Japanese war at Tsushima, showing how it powered the spread of European colonial empires. Moving into the twentieth century and the Second Industrial Revolution, Boot examines three critical clashes of World War II the German army's blitzkrieg, Pearl Harbor, and the firebombing of Tokyo to illustrate how new technology such as the tank, radio, and airplane ushered in terrifying new forms of warfare that aided the rise of highly centralized, and even totalitarian, world powers.
Finally, in his section on the Information Revolution, Boot focuses on the Gulf War, the invasion of Afghanistan, and the Iraq war, arguing that even as cutting-edge technologies such as stealth aircraft have made America the greatest military power in world history, advanced communications systems have allowed decentralized, "irregular" forces to become an increasingly significant threat to Western power.

REUTERS - The character Arsenal showed in battling back from a goal down to beat Stoke City 3-1 in the Premier League on Saturday was proof of a growing mental strength in the team, according to manager Arsene Wenger.
Wenger sides have often been accused of wilting under pressure in the past but Arsenal have shown more resilience this season, fighting back to earn points against Manchester United, Paris St Germain, Southampton and Ludogorets.
"It's the sixth time that we are down in the game and come back to win since the start of the season. That's not a coincidence," Wenger told British media.
"It doesn't happen just because you say 'Come on, you have to keep fighting'. That means there is something in the team that is quite strong, but after that we have to keep the spirit because that can be quite fragile."
The club have been utilising the services of psychologist and former Oxford United centre half Ceri Evans, who has also worked with the world champion New Zealand rugby team.
Winger Theo Walcott admitted that Arsenal used to have a tendency to let setbacks throw them off their game but cited their reaction to the questionable penalty awarded against them on Saturday as proof of the change in attitude.
"You can see there was disappointment (but) I don't think we dwelt on it too long," said Walcott.
"I think we can feel sorry for ourselves in the past and say 'It is not a penalty' but you can't change the decision once it has been made, that's the thing.
"You are going to be annoyed at the time, that's fine, but you have just got to deal with it and we reacted in a positive way."
Arsenal, who are second in the table, travel to face ninth-placed Everton on Tuesday and could go on top of the table, at least until Chelsea face Sunderland a day later.

Definitely sacreligious haha I couldn't believe how beat up it was when I got it. So far I have been able to use an extremely fine grit sandpaper to buff out the gouges and scratches by hand without taking hardly any of the frame down, I will have to post pics once I get the damn thing disassembled. There are quite a few broken parts that make the disassembly process pretty frustrating - not to mention work has been taking up most of my time and leaving me with little free time to work on it. I have 2 of the .22 mags, but they do not fit in a regular 1911 if thats what you were looking to use them for (in conjunction with a conversion kit) for some reason they only fit in this pistol - though they are identical in size to my .45 1911 mags. Should have pics up Sunday.
Whether the project works out or not all depends on the slide. That bent part in the picture where the slide catch/release is will be the deciding factor. If that can't be bent back and fixed, and I end up needing a new slide, this project will be put on the back burner. Not looking to spend as much or more than the cost of a new pistol fixing this one up. Really just wanted a project, and knew if I didn't buy it, it would end up in the garbage.
"It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams
You are to be commended for attempting to 'save one of our own'
I own one of these and it's a great 1911 trainer/shooter and if "treated" properly should serve one quite well for a long time.
I indeed look forward to your updates.
Here's mine and as we can see, one can maintain the appearance of a gun (.22lr are much easier IMO) even after K's downrange (granted I do not holster this gun ever as it's just a range gun). Now, my CCW is another story as it has lots of holster wear on it
but it doesn't concern me in the least as it's a "tool". Contrast that with my Colt Walker 1847 which I maintain in pristine condition and it's far from a "Safe-Queen."
BTW, I don't think it has been mentioned in this particular thread (many probably already know) but this is the EXACT same gun as the Sig-Sauer 1911-22 which in some ways negates the concern some have expressed concerning the slides Zamak makeup--in my view it's not a significant factor for a .22lr gun.
