Available Licenses and Certifications
Accounting: Training & Continuing Education
Welcome to the 21st century - an era ripe with opportunity for both would-be accountants and those already at work in the financial industry. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of accountant and auditor jobs should increase in response to the business community's growth, changing laws and regulations, and ever more intense scrutiny of corporate record-keeping.
At last check, accounting occupations ranked in the top 25 occupations for number of jobs (2.2 million) and number of openings (more than 38,000 per year). These positions include a high level of job security, competitive starting salaries and top income potential.
Available Licenses and Certifications [top]
Accounting practices build their success on experience, education and compliance with regulatory requirements for certifications in a chosen field of accounting. The licensing process helps ensure that only qualified individuals are authorized to serve the people. Licenses are checked and verified by using the practitioner's name, or license number. Below is a list of credentials for career advancement:
Certified Public Accountant (CPA): This is the most popular professional designation for accountants, and requires "sitting" for the Uniform CPA Exam, which is developed and graded by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The Uniform CPA Examination is one of the "Four Es" - Education, Examination, Ethics and Experience - required for licensure as a CPA. Consequently, passing the examination is not, in itself, sufficient to meet requirements for licensure. Requirements vary by jurisdiction, and are described on the websites of all state Boards of Accountancy, A directory of and links to all of the state boards can be found on the website of the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) .
- Certified Management Accountant (CMA) : This credential is sponsored by the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA), and is only offered to Institute members.
CMA certification results in salaries that are competitive to those with a CPA. The role of management accounting differs from that of public accounting, since management accountants work at the "beginning" of the value chain, supporting decision making, planning and control, while audit and tax functions involve checking the work after the fact. Management accountants are valued business partners, directly supporting an organization's strategic goals.
The CMA credential differs significantly from the CPA designation, and the decision to pursue one over the other depends entirely on individual career goals. For a career in public accounting, the CPA designation is appropriate - and required by state law. However, more than 80 percent of accounting professionals in the United States work inside organizations, building quality financial practices into the organization. IMA's most recent salary survey indicates that accountants with CMA certification earn 24 percent more than those without certification.
- Certified Financial Planner (CFP) assists clients in managing, sheltering and expanding their assets through a comprehensive plan geared toward a client's financial objectives and resources. CFP candidates must pass the comprehensive CFP Certification examination, pass CFP Board's Candidate Fitness Standards, agree to abide by CFP Board's Code of Ethics and Professional Responsibility which puts clients' interests first, and comply with the Financial Planning Practice Standards. These are just some of the reasons why the CFP certification is becoming increasingly recognized.
- Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) is widely recognized for expertise in the anti-fraud field. Career opportunities abound and more are growing.
Qualifications for certification are as follows:
- Be an Associate Member of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) in good standing;
- Meet minimum academic and professional requirements with a minimum of a bachelor's degree or the equivalent, and at least two additional years of professional experience;
- Be of high moral character;
- Agree to abide by the Bylaws and Code of Professional Ethics of the ACFE ; and
- Pass the CFE exam.
- Forensic Certified Public Accountant (FCPA) and fraud examination are different, but related. Forensic accounting is done by accountants in anticipation of litigation and can include fraud, valuation, bankruptcy and a host of other services. Fraud examination can be conducted by accountants or non-accountants and refers only to antifraud matters. Thus, the FCPA designation is for CPAs who want to differentiate themselves as forensic specialists. Certification is through the Forensic CPA Society.
- Enrolled Agent (EA) is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to represent taxpayers before all administrative levels of the IRS. Often called the best kept secret in accounting, EAs provide an important and marketable service to the public, government and accounting community. The EA recognition signifies a concentration of competency in the field of taxation.
The Licensing Process
Accountants face stringent compliance requirements when it comes
to accounting and auditing standards, the Tax Code and
Sarbanes-Oxley. But post-certification career paths are many and
varied. Maximizing accounting training is as simple as planning
ahead and making some good decisions.
Accounting certifications and professional designations are
required to step out into a specialty or independent practice.
Trying to understand how to comply with the complex
requirements, statutes, rules and regulations of the state
boards of accountancy can be difficult and time-consuming.
Key Organizations in the Licensing Process
- The National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) serves as a forum for the 55 boards of accountancy. Although individuals must apply for licensure within the state in which they practice, the NASBA provides oversight, review and communications with the boards.
- American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) is the national, professional organization for Certified Public Accountants. AICPA seeks the highest possible level of uniform certification and licensing standards and protects the CPA designation.
- State Boards of Public Accountancy Websites provide access to processes needed to practice in that state or province, and links to Board of Accountancy Websites are available on the NASBA Website.
The Uniform Accountancy Act
While not a new document, the NASBA/AICPA Uniform Accountancy Act
(UAA) is constantly undergoing revision so as to keep pace with
the changing economic environment. The UAA contains provisions
that were agreed to by a majority of the state boards of
accountancy. As the name suggests, the act promotes uniformity
to protect the public interest and promote high professional
standards. Its purpose is to clarify a CPA's scope of practice
and to allow CPAs to work across state lines.
As more CPAs provide their services to the public through
nontraditional business entities, the law must be clarified for
the public to know what type of services will be subject to
government regulation.
In light of the collapse of Enron and other corporate
disasters, boards have expanded regulation and are partnering
with boards beyond their own borders, and in tandem with the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) and the
Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) to better protect the
public interest. A career in accounting will prove to be
financially rewarding whether one chooses to start as a CPA or
to work in private industry, government service or a nonprofit
entity. Earnings are a function of education, experience and
Each field is continuing to evolve as technology improves and
the economic picture changes. Continuing education is the key to
keeping up with opportunities and regulation in a growing and
competitive industry.
Accounting: Training & Continuing Education [top]
"For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them," stated Aristotle many centuries ago. In his day, as well as in modern times, experience and education go hand in hand. Becoming an accountant, with the potential of many specialized fields within the financial spectrum, is no exception. This winning combination can begin in high school and continue throughout a working career.
Accounting offers a wide array of business services that include public, management and government accounting, as well as internal auditing. In each of these major fields are specialties that prepare, analyze and verify financial documents in order to provide information to client entities. These environments are not stagnant, are ever evolving and the successful management of these entities requires strong credentials that must be kept current through ongoing education and training.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of accountants and auditor jobs is expected to grow by 22 percent between 2008 and 2018, which is faster than the average of all occupations. Over this decade more than 279,000 new accounting jobs will be created. However, placement in and development of an accounting career are directly related to the level of education and licensure achieved.
Specialized Education for Accounting
Entry-Level Basics: Today's accountant must have strong business, interpersonal and computer skills with a strong command of information technology to communicate and share data on an "anytime, anywhere" basis. Although bookkeeping and entry level accounting positions may be obtained right out of high school or with an associate degree, most employers require a college education with a bachelor's degree in business, accounting or a related field.
Qualifications identified in the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Handbook suggest that some employers prefer applicants with a master's degree in accounting, or with a master's degree in business administration with a concentration in accounting.
Any accountant filing a report with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is required by law to be a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). How to Become a CPA : A CPA certification is the most popular designation in accounting and requires licensing by the State Board of Accountancy in which the CPA candidate intends to practice. Most States require CPA candidates to be college graduates. Some States will substitute public accounting experience for a college degree.
As of 2009, 46 States and the District of Columbia required CPA candidates to complete 150 semester hours of college coursework - an additional 30 hours beyond the usual 4-year bachelor's degree. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, only Colorado, California, New Hampshire and Vermont do not require the 150 semester hours.
CPA candidates are required to pass the 4-part Uniform CPA Examination prepared by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). The advantage of the "uniform" exam is that it is now a computer-based test that is offered two months out of each quarter at various testing sites throughout the United States, and internationally. Each year, more than half the CPA candidates do not pass all four parts on the first try. However, most States do require that all four sections must be passed within 18 months of passing the first section.
Although the CPA exam is uniform for all States, specific requirements are not. Therefore, CPA candidates should apply through the Board of Accountancy in the State in which they will practice. Information on CPA licensure requirements by State may be obtained from the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA).
Continuing Professional Education for the CPA
CPA licensure is not for life, but requires periodic renewal - some States are annual, others are for a two or three year period. All license renewals require State-defined criteria which include continuing professional education (CPE) credits. CPE courses and providers should have the following features:
- Be compliant with NASBA and AICPA standards
- Be versatile in offerings, to enhance preferred interests
- Be approved by the individual State Board of Accountancy
- Be written by someone with experience in the field
- Be prompt with grading and certificates
CPE providers charge a fee for courses and/or testing. A CPE provider may offer free CPE courses under specific circumstances. For instance:
- In return for listing with them for employment purposes
- In return for feedback regarding a pilot course
- The course is free, but the provider charges fees for testing or grading
- One free course to encourage sign up for other courses
Always verify that a course is Board approved and meets NASBA/AICPA standards.
Where to Acquire Specialized Accounting Education
A CPA certification is required and regulated by State law. However, professional certifications other than CPA often provide advantages to accountants or auditors in their career paths. Certifications can attest to professional competence in a specialized field. Some designations, such as Forensic Certified Public Accountant, require an initial CPA designation and licensure before the additional education and certification in forensic accounting is approved to practice as a FCPA.
Below is a list of specialty accounting designations, and the professional society that sponsors the certification and links to Websites for application and certification requirements for education, course offerings, fees, and testing. These certifications renew periodically and require CPE and often membership in the sponsoring organization.
- Certified Management Accountant (CMA), Institute of Management Accountants.
- Certified Financial Planner (CFP), Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc.
- Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), Association of Certified Fraud Examiners.
- Forensic Certified Public Accountants (FCPA), Forensic CPA Society.
- Enrolled Agent (EA), US Department of Treasury .
- Certified Internal Auditor (CIA); Certification in Control Self-Assessment (CCSA); Certified Government Auditing Professional (CGAP); Certified Financial Services Auditor (CFSA), Institute of Internal Auditors,
- Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA), ISACA, formerly the Information Systems Audit and Control Association.
- Accredited Business Accountant (ABA); Accredited Tax Advisor (ATA); Accredited Tax Preparer (ATP), Accreditation Council for Accountancy and Taxation (ACAT).
- Certified Government Financial Manager (CGFM), Association of Government Accountants.
- Accredited Business Valuation (ABV); Certified in Financial Forensics (CFF):, Certified Information Technology Professional (CITP); Personal Financial Specialist (PFS), American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
A background in accounting offers competitive salaries and long-term growth potential no matter where one's career leads. Tomorrow's accountant will need a national and global perspective as well as disciplined education and specialized certifications.
As noted in the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Handbook, "Regardless of qualifications, competition will remain keen for the most prestigious jobs in major accounting and business firms."

Scott | Madonna Dome Date Climbed: Jan 15, 2012 | |
There were some girls having a birthday party in the Section House, so Shaylee decided to stay with them after they invited her to come. Kim, Kessler and I decided to climb Madonna Dome, a 12,331' (3759 meter) peak west of Boreas Pass. With snowshoes we made it to Point 12,027 and enjoyed the views from there. The winds were high and it was cold, but the winds weren't as strong as the day before on Boreas Mountain. After Point 12,027, the rest of the route to Madonna Dome was blown clean of snow and we ditched our snowshoes. We climbed down to the saddle and up the steep slopes to the summit of Madonna Dome. It was windy, but we found shelter behind a snow bank and ate lunch there before returning down the mountain. The views were great and once again we regretted not having the camera. | ||

kavak | From Boreas Pass Date Climbed: Jul 30, 2011 | |
Leisurely hike to the top afforded some great views of the higher peaks in the area. I had missed this one because it is unnamed on the topo maps back in the day when I did the Hoosier Ridge traverse. The mine shaft is interesting to look at but would be a bad deal to slip and fall into. I wonder if it is covered with snow during the winter? | ||

Climbed solo, after an out an back traverse of Boreas and PT 12700B to the east it was then on to "Madonna Dome" on the west side of the pass. Breezy and cool, but a nice clear morning. Lots of "leaf peepers" on the road out, slow drive with all the traffic! | ||

I enjoyed this Labor Day hike with my husband and three dogs (Lady, Bing & Lela). The first crisp hints of fall were in the air. We ran into a man who had recently received a liver transplant, and was rightly proud of himself for summitting that day. We also chatted with some other Air Force folks. Otherwise, the crowd stays behind at Pt 12,029. All we could hear was the wind. | ||

Comments about Yaktrax, Inc. SOFSOLE Women's All Sport Over-the-Calf Socks, 2-Pack:
I recently received a script for a leg brace covering the bottom of my foot and reaching to the top of my calf. I struggled to find any socks that had the length I needed to wear inside the hard plastic brace that would absorb moisture and prevent chaffing or break down of skin tissue.
These socks are perfect for all of the above needs. Color choices available diminish the "dullness of normal medical braces". While I am teaching, students seem to focus on the multi-colored socks I wear (I wear mismatched socks)and don't perceive the brace as a disability.
I am able to tell everyone (especially the young children) that I GET TO WEAR A BRACE BECAUSE IT HELPS MY BODY HEAL

Important Note
It is legal in most of the U.S. to purchase hypodermic needles without a prescription; however, you are solely responsible for following the laws in your state. HealthWarehouse.com reserves the right to refuse any order in the event that filling such order would violate any federal, state, or local law or regulation.
In California and Nevada, you assert hypodermic needles will be used for diabetic purposes or legitimate purpose.
These states require a prescription for quantities over 10 needles. If you order over 10 needles from these states, we must confirm your prescription. You can either fax your prescription to 1-866-821-3784 or send it by email to email@example.com.
These states require a prescription to order hypodermic needles. If you order from one of these states, we must confirm your prescription. You can either fax your prescription to 1-866-821-3784 or send it by email to email@example.com.
In Florida and Virginia, you assert that you are not a minor. A minor is anyone under the age of 18.
Our syringes come in three body sizes, 1cc, 0.5cc, and 0.3cc. This pertains to the overall capacity of the syringe. The gradation markings for U-100 insulin of each size are:
Size / Maximum Dosage / Scale Increments
1cc / 100 units / 2 units
.5cc / 50 units / 1 unit
.3cc / 30 units / 1 unit
Generally speaking, you should size your syringe to your maximum injection dosage. For example, if you are taking 20 units per shot, you could use either a 0.5cc/50 unit syringe or a 0.3cc/30 unit syringe. If you are taking 60 units, use a 1cc/100 unit syringe. Since the markings are wider apart the smaller the syringe size, it is generally easier to read a 35 unit dosage on a 0.5cc/50 unit syringe than on a 1cc/100 unit syringe. It is easier to read a 15 unit dosage on a 0.3cc/30 unit syringe than on a 0.5cc/50 unit syringe. There is nothing wrong with doing a 15 unit dosage on a 1cc/100 unit syringe, but remember, being precise with your dosage leads to better diabetes management.
Ulti Care needles are available with 28 gauge, 29 gauge, 30 guage, and 31 gauge sizes. This number represents the U.S. standard sizing for stainless steel hypodermic tubing. The actual dimensions are:
Gauge/ Outside Diameter / Inside diameter / Nominal Wall Thickness
28 gauge / .014 inches / .0065 inches / .0035 inches
29 gauge / .013 inches / .0065 inches / .003 inches
30 gauge / .012 inches / .0055 inches / .003 inches
31 gauge / .012 inches / .0055 inches / .0025 inches
The larger the gauge size, the smaller the outside diameter, and therefore, the smaller the hole put in you. One would initially think, "The smaller the hole, the less discomfort, the better!" This is not always the case. Please note that the inside diameter remains the same for 28 and 29 gauge, and though the 30 gauge inside diameter is smaller on the 29 gauge and 30 gauge, the nominal wall thickness is smaller. This means that the needle will be weaker and more likely to bend if you do not inject straight in, or have particularly tough skin, or a lot of callouses. You and your physician or diabetes educator must be the judge of your comfort level and needs.
Please note, that the standard length of the 28 gauge and 29 gauge needle is ½ inch while the 30 gauge and 31 gauge needle is only 5/16 inch hence the term "short needle". This shorter needle is required to prevent the much thinner needle from bending. There is also a psychological incentive to use a shorter needle, but most adults will find that the 29 gauge will work just fine as they need a slightly larger diameter and greater length.
Please consult your physician or diabetes educator before making any changes in needle size, length, or capacity

- Focus artwork
- Old newspapers
- White construction paper—two per student
- Oil pastels
- Baby wipes
- Paper
- Pencil
Teaching Tips: In step 3, using focused viewing questions allows the teacher to help the student to examine the artwork closely, to really "look" at the piece. The questions given are merely examples. The teacher is encouraged to add any questions as he/she deems necessary, as well as encourage questions from the students. This lesson can be divided into two lessons after step 8.
Lesson Procedure:
1) Begin by asking students to look around the classroom very closely. After at least 1 minute of looking, ask the students to look around again, this time looking for all the different types of lines that exist in the classroom. Have the students repeat the process, looking for shapes in the classroom. Finally, have the students look again for different types of colors in the classroom. Each time allow students the opportunity to get out of their seat and point to the line, shape, color they are describing.
2) Show students the focus artwork: Winter Scene with Skaters. Ask the students to describe what objects they see (i.e., skates, people, a wheelbarrow, etc.). Ask students to describe the lines they see. Repeat for shapes and colors.
3) Focused Viewing Questions: Once students have had a chance to study the artwork, begin a discussion on what the artist was trying to tell the viewer.
a. What are the people doing?
b. What time of year is it?
c. Is it cold or hot outside? How do you know?
d. If you could become a part of the painting, what would you hear, smell, feel, taste?
e. Why do you think the artist chose this scene to paint?
f. What did the artist want to share with the viewer?
4) Moving from the scene in the painting, ask the students to think of a time in their life where something special or important happened. Ask a few students to share their stories with the class.
5) Explain the literary term of setting to the students. Use the artwork to give an example (the setting in the artwork is wintertime in the past). Using the same procedure, explain to the students the literary terms of characters, objects and events referring back to the artwork for a concrete visual example for each term (If time permits, use a related artwork showing an event and have the students point out the examples of setting, characters, objects, and events.
6) Have the students tell a story to a partner about an event in their life that was special or important. Encourage the students to include setting, characters, object, and event in their story.
7) Have the partner retell the story back, and then have the students change roles so that both students can tell their story.
8) Hand out paper to the students and have them write down the story they just shared with a partner.
9) At the front of the class, show the students how to use an oil pastel. Show the students how oil pastels can be used like a pencil or laid on their side and used to lay down large blocks of color. Show the students how to blend two colors by laying down a patch of one color next to a different color, then using your fingers blend the two where they meet. Show the student how to use the baby wipes to clean off their fingers before using them again.
10) Have the student lay down old newspaper on their desks to keep the oil pastels from getting on the desks. Hand out baby wipes, paper and oil pastels to the students. Allow students time to work with the pastels, experimenting with the medium. Help where necessary.
11) At the front of the class, ask the students what cool colors are—blue, green, and purple. Next ask the class what warm colors are—red, yellow, and orange. Direct the students to find the warm and cool colors in their oil pastels. Give student a few minutes to experiment with either the warm or cool colors.
12) Tell the students that they are going to illustrate their story using either warm or cool colors. Discuss with the students which type of stories might be better illustrated in cool colors (sad, calm) or warm colors (high energy, angry, excitement). Tell the students to choose warm or cool colors from their pastels, then direct the students to put back in the box all the other pastels, leaving out only those colors they selected. Give the students time to finish their illustrations.
13) Put students in groups of three and have them share their art work with each other. The following are some questions that students might ask each other:
a. What type of lines did you use?
b. What type of color did you use? Why did you choose that?
c. What type of shapes did you use?
d. What is your art work telling us about the story you wrote?
e. If you could change one thing in your art work, what would it be?
f. Describe one thing in your art work that you really like.
g. What do you think about the other art works in your group?
14) If time permits, have several groups share what they learned about their art work and the art work in their group.
Assessment: By creating a scene from life, students demonstrate an understanding of warm and cool colors, based upon the choices they make in their artwork. Students write a short narrative paragraph describing the event in their life scene, demonstrating their understanding of narrative writing including setting, characters, objects, and events in detail as well as writing those in a logical sequence of events.

Title and Date: Winter Scene with Skaters, 17th century
Artist: Klaes Molenaer
About the Artist:
Born in Haarlem about 1630, Klaes Molenaer is thought to have studied with the landscape artist Salomon van Ruysdael. In 1651, he joined the Haarlem artists' guild. He was later influenced by fellow Haarlem artist Jacob van Ruisdael, who included even the most trivial aspects of the Dutch scene into his highly naturalistic and broad landscapes. Molenaer responded by delighting in painting winter and summer scenes of the activities taking place on or alongside the extensive network of rivers and canals crisscrossing the Netherlands. Scenes of skaters on ice quickly became one of the most common festive winter scenes in Dutch landscape painting in the seventeenth century.
About the Artwork:
This painting, as well as most other skating scenes, attests to the pleasures that were to be had on the ice, and ice even made work a little easier for some, as one seventeenth-century skater expressed: "…winter brings skaters farther than wagons do on the longest day of summer." From the fifteenth to the middle nineteenth century, winters in Europe were especially cold due to the impact of far-reaching Arctic ice upon the climate. The long months of frozen waterways served as easy transportation and recreation. Their appearance as a new form of genre and landscape painting began in sixteenth-century Flanders and spread to the northern Netherlands, where they became extremely popular.
To convey certain feelings and emotions in this painting, the artist used warm and cool colors. The colors that suggest coolness are blue, violet and green, while colors that suggest warmth are typically red, yellow and orange. The figures and their activities in this scene are typical of those in many seventeenth-century skating scenes. This type of painting is called a genre painting because it depicts scenes and images from everyday life.

FRIDAY, March 4, 1881--9 a. m.The session was opened with prayer by Representative Floyd.
On motion by Mr. RYAN the bill [H. R. 437] for an act concerning the publication of the Revised Statutes for 1881, was read the third time and passed-yeas, 70; nays, 14.
Mr. Cauthorne's bill [H. R. 435), to repeal an act to provide for the payment of sundry bonds and stocks of the State issued prior to the year 1841, approved December 12, 1872, being read the third time--
Mr. CAUTHORNE said: This bill simply repeals the act passed December 12, 1872, which was intended to make provision for the payment of sundry bonds issued by the State for internal improvement purposes. I propose to briefly urge upon the House the propriety of passing this bill for two reasons. First, Because the State of Indiana is under no legal or moral obligation to pay any part, either of principal or interest of the bonds referred to in the act of December 12, 1872. All the bonds referred to in that act were issued for internal improvement purposes, and were issued before any member on this floor had any concern with the management of the affairs of the State. They are evidences of the folly and improvidence of our ancestors. The State of Indiana should not attempt to shrink from any legal liability incurred, nor, on the other hand, should not assume by new legislation any additional liability than that already fixed and determined by the laws authorizing the issue of these bonds. I hold that it is a clear and tenable legal proposition that the State is not legally liable to pay any part of these bonds, and that the act of December 12, 1872 should never have been enacted.
I was a Member of this House at the time it was passed, and did all in my power to prevent it. Under its operation there has already been taken from the State Treasury several hundred thousand dollars, and if it is not repealed many more thousands of dollars will flow out for the same purpose, all of which I regard as no more than a donation on the part of the State to the holders of these bonds. The bonds provided for by the act repealed by this act were issued under various acts of the General Assembly which made different provisions for the bonds authorized under them, and imposed upon the State different liabilities. All the bonds referred to were issued under acts passed in 1832, 1834, 1835 or 1836. Under the act of 1832, found in acts of that year on page 4, the fifth section provides for the payment of the bonds authorized to be issued under it, and for that purpose irrevocably pledges the canal and its revenues. The act of 1834, by section two on page 30 of the acts of that year, provides for the payment of the bonds authorized to be issued by it and again pledges for that purpose the canal and its revenues. The general improvement act of 1836 by Section 9 on page 10 of the acts of that year provides for the payment of the $10,000,000 loan authorized by it, and again pledges the canal and other internal improvements and the revenues thereof for that purpose. The act of 1835 by Section 3 on page 25 of the acts of that year makes provision for the payment of the bonds authorized to be issued under it, and for that purpose "the faith of the State of Indiana is hereby irrevocably pledged." This was the only act ever passed authorizing the issue of bonds for internal improvement purposes, which pledged for their payment the faith of the State and made them directly a charge upon the State Treasury. Every one of the bonds issued under that act have been fully paid by the State. Not one of the bonds issued under that act was ever surrendered under the acts of 1846 or 1847. All the bonds therefore outstanding are bonds issued under the acts either of 1832, 1834 or 1836, and for the payment of which the canal was pledged and not the faith of the State. The holders of these bonds were aware of the means provided for their payment when they took them. They remained unpaid with accumulated interest until 1846, when the act of that year, called the "Butler bill," was passed at the instance and request of the holders of the outstanding bonds. By the pro- page: 267[View Page 267] visions of the act of 1846, which has been held by the Courts to be in the nature of a contract between the State and the holders of the unpaid bonds, provision was made for the adjustment and satisfaction of all these bonds; and by the act of 1847, called the "Supplement," the State declared she would never make any other or different arrangement for the payment of these bonds than that provided by the act of 1846. The act of 1872 is in violation of this express declaration, and does make another and different provision for their payment, and is so far in bad faith with the great body of the holders of such bonds who accepted the provisions of the act of 1846 in the belief that it was the only arrangement the State would ever make. I hold no such thing should be done. There is no legal or, moral obligation resting on the State to provide for their payment. All of the outstanding internal improvement bonds were liens on the canal, and when the compromise was effected between the State and the holders of these bonds under the acts of 1846 and 1847 and the State transferred to Trustees the canal and its tolls and revenues and all the lands donated by the General Government to aid in its construction. The transfer was made and accepted subject to existing liens. The act of 1846 authorizing the Governor to make such transfer in Section 8, pages 6 and 7 of the acts of that year contains the following: The transfer of said property shall be made "Subject nevertheless to all existing rights and equities against the State on account of the same or liabilities of the State growing out of or in relation thereto." This, we think, makes it clear that the Trustees received the canal subject to all liens. The view we have taken has been judicially determined by the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of Trustees of the Wabash and Erie Canal Company vs. Beers, 2 Black, 448. That case decides that these bonds are in the nature of liens on the canal and have priority according to date, as mortgages, and that the Trustees accepted the canal subject to them and must provide for their payment. It also decides that they are in the nature of contracts, and that the State is precluded by the Constitution of the United States of diverting, altering, impairing or otherwise varying their force and effect. We therefore hold that the act of 1872 should never have been passed and should be at once repealed.
We will briefly state the reasons why this bill should pass from another view, Even admitting the State should provide for the payment of these bonds, the act of 1872 is so loosely and inartificially drawn that it should be wiped out. It purports to appropriate money to pay these old bonds, but no certain amount is named as being appropriated. It simply says that sufficient money is appropriated to pay them, and confers power upon the Governor, Auditor, Attorney General and Treasurer of State to adjust the amount. This was certainly going very far in the direction of appropriating money contrary to the Constitution. The Constitution, in Article 10, Section 3, provides that "no money shall be drawn from the Treasury but in pursuance of appropriations made by law." What would this House think of the Committee of Ways and Means if they had reported to you a bill appropriating to the Benevolent, Educational, Penal and Reformatory Institutions as much money as might be needed for them? Such a bill would undoubtedly have been rejected. But the act we propose to repeal makes just such an appropriation, and for that reason should be repealed. But in addition the act confers power upon the State officials named to make the computation of the amount due upon these bonds and to pay the amount they shall find due. The holders of such of these bonds as have not yet been paid are not satisfied with the decision of the Board so constituted under said act and demand the shape of interest more than said Board thinks due and by resort to the Courts by way of mandate proceedings are attempting to compel the Treasurer of State to pay more money out of the Treasury than said Board have found due. The Supreme Court of the State has already reached a decision in the mandate case adverse to the interests of the State Treasury, and unless the General Assembly interferes and repeals this law will compel the State officers to pay more money than the Board constituted by said act have found due.
The repeal of this act will not prevent the State in future making any just and proper provision for the payment of the outstanding bonds if such a course is thought right and just. We therefore think this bill should pass.
Mr. BUSKIRK--From what the gentleman from Knox (Mr. Cauthorne) has said I am entirely and utterly opposed to the bill because it seeks to forego an obligation due from the State to certain parties, as has been decided by the Courts of the State and the United States Supreme Court. I infer that the object of this bill is to relieve the State from the legal obligation resting upon her, and which has been decided by the Supreme Courts to be valid. The credit and honor of the State is of more importance than the dollars and cents involved in this bill.
Mr. KENNER--The Court, by its mandate, has ordered to be paid out by the Treasurer of State more money than was appropriated by the body legally elected by the State to appropriate money. There never has been appropriated a dollar to pay these bonds by the State of Indiana. This bill simply says that the Treasurer of State shall pay no money except as appropriated by the Legislature. If this is a good debt let it come before the Legislature, and if they refuse it then the State is not in honor bound to pay it.
Mr. RYAN--I hope this bill will pass. The holders saw fit to withhold the bonds when notified by the act of 1847, and not accept the proposition then made by the State, therefore it is not bound to pay these bonds. It would be wrong to make the people pay these old debts. I hope every member will vote cheerfully and heartily in support of this bill.
The bill passed--yeas, 86; nays, 3.
On motion by Mr. EDWINS, the regular order was suspended and Mr. Yancey's bill [S. 74--see pages 208, 212 and 216 of these Reports] regulating and improving the practice of medicine was read the first time and passed to the second reading.
The Committee on Railroads reported on the, bill [H. R. 138] regulating charges of railroads, recommending its passage with amendments.
The report was concurred in.
On motion by Mr. FRAZIER, the bill was laid on the table and 200 copies ordered printed.
Mr. Traylor's bill [S. 17, see page 111] concerning partes to action was read the third time.
Mr. BUSKIRK--The Supreme Court has decided that for the purposes of relieving real estates action could not be maintained in the person's own name. The purpose of this bill is to do away with this old rule and allow the man who has a claim to the land to bring the suit in his own proper name without reference to the title of some other man. It seems to me that the law as it has existed for years is unjust, therefore I want to see it changed, and hope the bill will pass.
The bill passed--yeas, 86; nays, 0.
On motion by Mr. M'CLURE, House bills on the third reading were taken up.
Mr. McCure's bill [H. R. 316] for an act to relieve William J. Richey, Trustee of Finlay Town page: 268[View Page 268] ship, Scott County, Indiana, was read the third time and passed--yeas, 54; nays, 28.
Mr. Kenner's bill [H. R. 141] to regulate the sale of iron, brass, or other worn or scrap metal, by officers and employes of Railroad Companies and other persons, being read the third time--
Mr. KENNER said the principal feature of this bill is to impede the tendency of educating thievery on the part of poor children who pick up these iron scraps and sell them.
The bill passed--yeas, 67; nays, 16.
Mr. Huston's bill [H. R. 199] to amend an act prescribing who may make a will, the effect thereof, etc., approved May 10, 1852, was read the third time and passed--yeas, 80; nays, 1.
Mr. Jackson's bill [H. R. 7], providing for the protection of quails and pheasants, prescribing penalties, etc.[to protect these birds from destruction for two years], was read the third time.
Mr. GIBSON thought the law on that subject now was fully sufficient for all practical purposes.
Mr. KENNER said the quails and pheasants add very much to the agricultural wealth of the country, and they should be protected.
Mr. FALL wanted the bill to become a law.
The bill passed--yeas 80; nays, 7.
Mr. Wilson's (of Morgan) bill [H. R. 48] to amend Section 2 of an act concerning inclosures, trespassing animals and partition fences, approved June 4, 1852, was read the third time and passed--yeas, 66; nays, 21.
Mr. Swizer's bill [H. R. 53] to amend Section 1 of an act prescribing certain duties of Railroad Companies, requiring such Companies to sound whistles on all locomotives at crossings of turnpikes and public highways, was read the third time.
Mr. SWITZER said this bill provides nothing more than was contained in the law of 1879. That law required them to sound the whistle. The engrossing clerk made a mistake. In place of being "three blows of the whistle," the clerk wrote it "continually." This bill amends so as to make it read "three distinct blows."
On motion by Mr. KENNER, the bill was recommitted for amendment.
Mr. AKIN'S bill [H. R. 65] to legalize the incorporation of the Union Christian College of Merom, Ind., and all the acts of said corporation and contracts made with and by said corporation, was read the third time and passed--yeas, 83; nays, 0.
Mr. CARR, of White's, bill [H. R. 81--see page 90] to make an appropriation to pay Benton County, Indiana, a portion of the extraordinary expenses incurred in the arrest, trial and conviction of Charles L. McCullough for the murder of William Morgan, of Grant County, Indiana, was read the third time.
Mr. CARR felt satisfied that the gentlemen who opposed this measure several weeks ago did not fully understand its object or they would not have opposed the bill. He felt sure the claim was an honest and just one. The parties not being residents of the County in which the heavy expense was incurred, Benton County should not be made liable for a prosecution which did not concern the County.
Mr. BUSKIRK was opposed on general principles to allowances of such claims, or making appropriations of this sort, but he was willing to vote for is appropriation principally upon the ground that the people of Benton County acted upon the promise made by the State officers. These officers had a right to make this promise, as there is a contingent fund provided for that purpose, and they have a right to dispose of that as they think proper.
Mr. THOMPSON said the Claims Committee concluded they would submit the claim to the action of the House. There was some merit in the claim.
Mr. FANCHER said the claim was quite old; that it was presented to previous Legislatures. The Governor encouraged the Prosecuting Attorney of Benton County to proceed. The Attorney did so, and it would be nothing more than right that the County at least be reimbursed for the extraordinary expenses -- that is, the amount actually paid out. He said the Governor would never have suggsted its payment by the State had he not thought it an equitable claim.
Mr. MITCHELL believed the claim should be allowed by this body, for the reason that Benton County is poor and can not well bear this expense. He did not approve of the principle of allowing such claims, but in consideration of the County's financial condition, he thought the amount should be allowed as a matter of benevolence and charity.
Mr. CARTER--From the fact that the State officers encouraged this prosecution and promised to defray these expenses, under those circumstances I shall support this bill. I hope it will pass as a simple act of justice to the County.
Mr GIBSON said he favored the passage of the bill because he thought it a just one, and the Governor encouraged the prosecution with promises of compensation, notwithstanding the fact that he [Mr. Gibson] introduced a similar bill in this body which was rejected.
Mr. FRAZER--I am opposed to this bill. That the Prosecuting Attorney received encouragement from the Governor of State amounts to nothing, as it was a sworn duty of the Prosecuting Attorney to prosecute every crime committed in the County. The Judge is also bound to try every cause in that County. It is the duty of every County, irrespective of its worth or poverty, to prosecute every crime committed in it, and I doubt not that every County in the State has prosecuted similar claims. If we pay this claim we must pay every similar claim in Indiana. The principle of this thing is wrong.
Mr. MITCHELL said the amount asked for was not the actual expense of this trial, but simply the amount actually expended for witnesses--money paid out. Under these circumstances he could see no impropriety in the State officials guaranteeing to the County the actual expenses.
Mr. CARR--The expense of the prosecution is over $2,000. The extraordinary expense--that is, the money paid to witnesses and outside expenses. I ask no sympathy or generosity, but simply justice. I hope the bill will pass as a matter of justice.
The bill passed--yeas, 56; nays, 31.
On motion by Mr. CAUTHORNE, the House took a recess of five minutes to hear remarks by Hon. I. Haynes, of New York, one of the Executive Board of the World's Fair.
After the intermission Mr. KENNER offered a resolution that the Committee on Ways and Means be instructed to inquire into and report to the House what legislation is necessary to have Indiana represented at the World's Fair in 1883.
It was adopted.
Mr. KENNER introduced a bill [H. R. 439] for an act making specific appropriations.
It was read the first time.
On motion by Mr. GIBSON, the bill was laid on the table, and 200 copies were ordered printed.
On motion by Mr. SWITZER, the Special Committee thereon reported back the bill [S. 64] to amend Section 1 of an act authorizing cities to fund indebtedness, with an amendment, recomending its passage.
The report was concurred in.
page: 269[View Page 269]On motion by Mr. WRIGHT, the amendment was considered engrossed.
Mr. WRIGHT said: Senate bill No. 64 authorizes cities and towns having a population of less than 16,000 to fund their indebtedness by negotiating bonds in denominations not less than $50 nor more than $1,000, payable after two years, in equal annual installments, not exceeding in all fifteen years, the bonds to draw 6 per cent. semiannually, and to be negotiated at not less than par. Section 2 requires the city or town to assess taxes sufficient to pay the interest accruing on the bonds, and to pay the principal thereof as they become due.
The Senate placed no limit upon the time the bonds should run. As amended by the House, the limit is fixed at fifteen years, and sinkinfg fund taxes are not allowed to accumulate in the hands of officers.
The bill passed--yeas, 83; nays, 4.
Mr. WRIGHT moved to suspend the regular order of business and concur in the Senate amendment to the bill [H. R. 12] to vacate cemeteries within corporate limits.
The motion was agreed to.
Mr. BERRYMAN'S bill [H. R. 88], authorizing sale of plank, macadamized and other roads under execution, and empowering purchasers to reorganize, was read the third time.
Mr. BERRYMAN said the object of this bill was to permit the sale of gravel roads on execution. He could see no reason why gravel roads, where there is an execution obtained against them, could not be sold on execution as other property. As the law now stands it could not be sold on such a claim.
The bill passed--yeas, 56; nays, 25.
On motion by Mr. MCDOWELL, the regular order was suspended, and the Committee on Ways and Means reported on the bill [S. 7, see page 124] establishing Public Libraries in connection with the Common Schools in cities of 15,000 and over, recommending its passage with the following amendment--
"In any city where there is already established a library open to all the people no tax shall be levied for the purpose therein named."
The report was concurred in.
On motion by Mr. KENNER, the constitutional rule was suspended--yeas, 74; nays, 6.
The bill was read the third time and passed--yeas, 82; nays, 0.
Mr. Miles' bill [H. R. 101] to amend an act to establish a Female Prison and Reformatory for Girls and Women, and providing for the organization and government thereof, and making appropriations, approved May 13, 1869, was read the third time and passed--yeas, 76; nays, 4.
Mr. Miles' bill [H. R. 102] to amend an act to establish a House of Refuge and Reformatory for Juvenile Children, approved March 6, 1870, was read the third time and passed--yeas, 80; nays, 8.
Mr. WRIGHT moved to adjourn. He thought the House was not paying enough attention to vote intelligently upon bills.
This motion was withdrawn.
Mr. HUSTON moved to suspend the constitutional rule, and that the bill [H. R. 241] to amend Section 182 of the act of March 11, 1875, to legalize the levy of municipal taxes, be read the second time by title, the third time by sections and put upon its passage.
The motion was rejected--yeas, 44; nays, 46.
The House adjourned till to-morrow.

Hey people. Here are some good sites to go to if you want to read about Anarchy. Anarchadia Anarchist News Anarchist Writers. If you have questions about Anarchy or you want to see what is going on in the Anarchist world then go there. If one of the links doesn't work then let me know.
John, THANK YOU FOR THE 411.
Bill H.R. 1540 passed last night with a nearly unanimous vote. For those of you living under rocks, this bill is the National Defense Authorization Act, which is renewed every year, but which this year includes the declaration that "the entire USA is a "battleground" upon which U.S. military forces can operate with impunity, overriding Posse Comitatus and granting the military the unchecked power to arrest, detain, interrogate and even assassinate U.S. citizens with impunity." - source
The bill merely awaits Obama's signature, and although he has threatened to veto it, here is proof from CSPAN2 that the language exempting Americans from military impunity was removed AT HIS REQUEST. He will pass this bill, and America will officially become a military dictatorship. This will mean that, on suspicion of support for any entity that opposes US doctrine, you may be arrested, detained without trial, tortured and killed.
We have a few days before the bill is signed into law. I urge everyone to raise as much of a fuss as you possibly can, because it will be illegal for you to raise a fuss after the bill is signed. I also urge everyone to become non-cooperative with this government. Stop paying your taxes, stop paying your mortgage, pull your money out of the stock market and buy precious metals, and become as self-sufficient as you possibly can. Help and encourage others to do so as well. You are the only one who can protect each other: the police and military are now your enemies! Load your guns and discuss emergency plans with your freinds, family and neighbors. We are on our own.
Good luck to all of you.
Yeah, that's exactly the type of shit I'm talking about. In fact, I just made that same argument to someone who suggested I get off the grid instead of complaining about society. If anyone is interrested, I took this topic to another site, where it has taken off in greater detail, with some well-informed contributors. The link is here
There is a decent parallel to the advent of air travel. In the sixties, the planes weren't full, the food/service was great, the bureaucracy/red-tape was minimal, FLYING WAS GREAT. Air travel was the great liberator, today, it is completely controlled and profiled and integrated with borders, immigration, customs, police, flight information. All this information is digitally cross-referenced, errors and unfairness included.
You mention getting off the grid... I don't believe that's really possible any more. They now use heat sensing satellite data to track pot plantations in the middle of forests in the middle of nowhere. At this point in civilisation, if the powers that be want to find you, they will... :(
I think for the first few decades of its life, the internet grew too quickly for its creators to control it, and the younger generation's ability to manipulate it outstripped anyone else's ability prevent them. But now they are figuring out ways to lock the internet down, and once it's locked down, the temporary freedom it has provided will be gone. We are alive in a rare time, where we actually got to experience what it was like to be uncontrolable. If we don't fight to keep that state of affairs, we may never experience it again. Check out these articles:
1. Uncle Sam wants to pit hackers against hackers
2. TOR files used to establish a massive government spy network
Exactly, information technology, in the end, serves power, not the people. The information highway it was for its first decade of life was no different from a drug pusher's front, to get people hooked to the drug. Now the axe starts to fall.
Sure, but what happens when your internet gets shut down? That's what's happening in China, in Syria, in Iran, in North Korea, and guess who provides the technology to do that? US. Tht signifies to me that our government is testing the efficacy of these devices elsewhere, where thye don't care if civil unrest is the result because that just strengthens their positions anyway. And once the kinks are worked out, and SOPA passes, they'll be deploying that equipment right here, and there goes your social communication tools. There goes any power the people have to organize and rebel against the atrocities.
I tend to be less worried about technology than most people, because it looks like most of the nasty stuff is very expensive to build and energy-intensive to use, whereas the communications and computer technology that tends to impower individuals more that it empowers groups gets cheaper to build and more energy-thrifty all the time...
Hi everyone. I just joined the group, though I've been active on AN for a while now. I was looking around the web for some anarchist sites because of my growing concerns about the ability of governments around the world to enforce their laws on people, and was glad to be led right back here by an errant link.
I keep close watch on technological development around the world, archiving dozens of articles daily, and I am becoming downright scared by some of what I'm reading between the lines. For example, I see this article, titled Future Wars May Be Fought by Synapses, which details a few examples of how we will soon be able to manipulate functions of the brain, including behavior. Or this article, titled Zapping the Brain with Magnets Makes it Impossible to Lie, which is self-explanatory. Or this article, titled Airforce Wants Ray Guns for Weed Prevention, which details the potential for long-range manipulation of biochemistry, which might make it impossible to grow weed anywhere, ever, because wavelengths disruptive to their growth could bombard the whole earth from orbit.
So what's to prevent some government/corporation from figuring out the chemical combinations of thoughts and emotions (as in this article) and FORCING us to behave as they want us to, all the while allowing us to feel like it is our own inclination driving the change in our behaviors? That kind of technology is not in the news yet, but the precursors to it are, and rest assured, if I can think of it so can someone who wants to implement it. It would never be anounced in the news, of course, so we must extrapolate from what news we are given, just what capabilities might be out there, or are about to be.
I have a growing sense of urgency that the Occupy movement may well be the last stand of the people, and that if they put us down this time, we may never be able to get back up again. Conspiritorial? Yes. But with all the advances I've seen every day over the last decade, it is far from impossible. And if it's possible, we should be watching out for it, conspiritorial or not, because those in power are drunk with it, and will do anything they can to maintain their sway.
Is anyone else as concerned as I am?

Police chief defends posting anti-government YouTube videos
I have occasionally met police chiefs in social settings.
Like all human beings, some I warm to and others make me want to speak to their parents and psychologists. None, however, has quite been like Mark Kessler. He is the police chief of Gilberton, Penn.
Though he is employed to keep the peace in the community, there's a side to him that seems a touch combustible. For he posted a YouTube video criticizing Secretary of State John Kerry for negotiating a treaty that, in Kessler's view, would violate his right to bear more arms than possessed by the … Read more

Fashion's New Collar Queens
Spring fever is the air and it's prime time for some necking. (Get your mind out of the gutter – not THAT kind of necking!) We're talking about gorgeously constructed collars awash with silk, taffeta, Swarvoski crystals, metallic wool silk, silver spikes, and gold studs from Eleven Objects. These edgy, versatile, and unexpected creations can be credited to Linh Thi Do and Christine Rhee, two designers who said they "simultaneously decided that their wardrobes would be vastly improved by a different kind of accessory." The two paired up to create Eleven Objects and are now presenting their first Fall 2011 collection – a collection that's making us, dare we say … a little hot under the collar!
We touched base with Linh Thi Do and Christine Rhee who explained how the pair met last year while working at Doo.ri, "but we actually met about ten years ago but didn't realize it until we started working on Eleven Objects. We both attended the summer fashion program at Parsons and sat next to each other for the first week of class."
The two went on to reason with us on why they felt the fashion world was in need of some fashionable collars, explaining that they "both felt that our wardrobes would be greatly improved if we had them." And this collection was inspired by "classic glamour with a twist!" We are curious about the collections to come, their inspiration, and who will be rocking them.

- Value for money
The Zetasizer Nano series can measure a combination of three of the most important parameters for the colloid and polymer chemist - particle size, zeta potential and molecular weight.
The new technology incorporated in these systems provides unequalled sensitivity and versatility. The patented NIBS optics incorporated into the Nano Z and Nano ZS also allows measurements of samples with little or no dilution.
Particle Size - NIBS technology enables measurements of particles and molecules from 0.6nm to 6 microns.
Zeta Potential - M3-PALS technology enables accurate measurements of zeta potential in aqueous and non-aqueous dispersions.
Molecular Weight - An avalanche-photodiode detector and fibre detection optics give the sensitivity and syability required for absolute molecular weight measurement.
The Zetasizer Nano ZS is the pinnacle of the Malvern Zetasizer Nano series and can measure all three parameters with no performance compromises.
The Nano ZS, Z and ZS90 can all use the unique disposable zeta potential cell to ensure no cross contamination of samples.
All systems are compatible with the MPT-2 autotitrator to enable trend measurements and sample preparation to be automated.
Proteins, Nonoparticles, emulsions, pigments, toners & liquid inks, waste water treatment and drinking water.

"It is an excellent and easy to use instrument. Unfortunately the planar surface zeta potential measurement does not work with conductive surfaces, and this has been not made clear by the company in advance." |
China Lim Status: See all reviews Member since 2013 Organization: University of Utah Read more » | 4.7 RATING:
"The Malvern instrument provides quality information in analysis of many particles including metals (gold nanoparticles) and polymers. Not only providing size distributions from nanometers to microns, it also reliably analyzes zeta potential giving valuable information on particle charge. It is very easy to use and takes minutes to obtain all information." |
Bradley Davis Status: See all reviews Member since 2013 Organization: Penn State Read more » | 3.0 RATING:
"We work with gold nanoparticles and liposomes, therefore require size distributions. We feel the sizing data is fairly reasonable but have had numerous issues with the zeta potential, although we were led to believe we shouldn't have many concerns. The software is not very user friendly. The technicians/reps have been helpful, but we were unable to address the issues. I'm sure all applications would not have similar problems, but be aware it all is fairly hand-wavey." |
Michael Stroebele Status: See all reviews Member since 2012 Organization: Karlsruher Institut for Technology Read more » | 5.0 RATING:

RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.What a beautiful rug!!! Great feel and made very well. Thanks for the great product.
Overall we are very pleased with this rug. It's the first machine-made oriental we have ever purchased. The weave is very tight. It looks as if it should have cost thousands more. Unfortunately, the 13' by 15' rug was delivered in a "bundle" not in a roll. We've spent hours trying unsuccessfully to eliminate the resultant "puckers" and "creases." We are hopeful that over time it will ?recover.?
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.This was our first "machine-made" oriental carpet. Excellent product and value. However, poor packing. 15' by 13' came bundled/folded not in a roll. We have spent hours trying to smooth out the "puckers" and creases Hopefully, over time it will lie flat.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Very beautiful. Please note that the colors in this rug are much briter than pictured. It is a lovely rug for the price.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.This is a great rug. Attractive pattern and tight weave. The low price and free shipping make for a real value. Rugs USA was the lowest price I found on the web. I would recommend both the product and the company.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

The vibrating of my cell phone woke me this morning way to early on my bedside table. As I stealthly worked my way thru the darkness in my house, I stubbed my toe on a tonka truck one of the boys left in the middle of the kitchen floor and its really throbbing now in the cold enviroment. As I suffered in silence as to not wake the children or the wife, I realized I actually left it there when my
youngest and I finished jumping the homemade ramp of legos and deer hunting mags. "My" tonka made
the longest jump and my 2 year old admitted to my victory by going to play with his brother instead.
Moments later, in full camo and coffee in hand, I gently kissed my beautiful bride on the cheek.
I told her I loved her, to which she replyed "Love you to, Be careful", as she always does. Now here I sit. 20 feet up, shivering and alone.
I hunt some, pray some, and wonder whats up at home. Are they all glued to the front door, awaiting my arrival. Surely, there's no tonka truck jumping going on. Not without me! I miss them.
I want to be with them but I love to hunt. Its part of me, but they are too. Are they thinking of me
right now like I am them. Its so selfish of me to want their lives to pause without me there but thats how I feel being gone.
Its a delicate balance we hunters, husbands, and dads face each fall when antler rubs and scrapes
begin to fill the woods or those thundering toms begin to roar each spring. If it doesn't stay balanced
something is more than likely going to suffer, be it our family, our job, and heaven forbid our taxidermist.
All this goes thru my mind this morning. Waiting on that buck that will probably not show again.
The minutes have turned to hours and with only 30 minutes left of my day of hunting I'm already home with my family in my mind. But wait! The unmistakable sound of a deer walking shocks me back to
reality. As the adult doe steps into the shooting lane at 20 yards and stops broadside, I'm already at
full draw and my pin has settled on her vitals. As the pressure begins to increase on the trigger of my release another deer catches my eye behind the doe. Its her fawn. I let down my string slowly and enjoy the show. I let her enjoy her family for one more day. Who knows what tommorrow will bring.
As they disappear into the woods, I race down the tree and to the truck. To spend sometime with
my family. Who knows what tommorrow will bring. Tonka trucks here I come.
Thank you Lord for the woods, for my wife Melisa, and my children Gabby, Michael, and Daniel.
