Hofstra University's Diane Lindner-Goldberg Child Care Institute One of the First Programs of Its Kind in the U.S. To be Awarded Reaccreditation Under Revised NAEYC Standards
Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY … Hofstra University's Diane Lindner-Goldberg Child Care Institute (CCI) at the Joan and Arnold Saltzman Community Services Center has been reaccredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Of the 183 New York State licensed child care centers in Nassau County, only 10 are NAEYC-accredited. Starting in 2006, the NAEYC began revising its standards for accreditation. Hofstra's CCI is one of the first child care programs in the United States to be reaccredited since the NAEYC's "reinvention."Programs applying for NAEYC accreditation undergo a very rigorous analysis of their operations. Only programs demonstrating and/or exceeding a national standard for quality and excellence in the field of early childhood education receive accreditation.
NAEYC is dedicated to improving the well-being of all young children, with particular focus on the quality of educational and developmental services for all children from birth through age 8. Founded in 1926, NAEYC is the world's largest organization working on behalf of young children with nearly 100,000 members, a national network of over 300 local, state, and regional affiliates, and a growing global alliance of like-minded organizations.
Hofstra's CCI received commendations from the NAEYC for …
• encouraging each child's sense of individual worth and belonging as part of a community.
• implementing a curriculum that promotes social, emotional, physical, language and cognitive learning and development.
• using ongoing, systematic, formal and informal assessment approaches that provide information on children's learning and development.
• promoting the nutrition and health of children and protecting children and staff from illness and injury.
• employing and supporting a teaching staff that is developmentally, culturally and linguistically appropriate and effective and has the educational qualifications, knowledge, and professional commitment necessary to promote children's learning and development and the diverse needs and interests of families.
• recognizing the importance of building a relationship with families to ensure that programs are meeting the needs of the children and families served.
• effectively establishing and maintaining reciprocal relationships with agencies and institutions that can support goals for curriculum, health promotion, children's transitions, inclusion, and diversity.
• creating an indoor and outdoor environment that fosters the growth and development of the children.
• administering its program efficiently and effectively.
Hofstra's CCI focuses on the child's total development - social, emotional, cognitive and physical. The program offers developmentally appropriate activities for children ages 8 weeks to 5 years, providing opportunities for hands-on, integrated learning. Children are grouped according to age and ability. The child-to-staff ratio meets and exceeds those required by New York State licensing and NAEYC standards for excellence in care.
CCI benefits from the interdisciplinary services of the clinical programs associated with the Joan and Arnold Saltzman Community Services Center. Being a part of the Saltzman Center renders CCI unique in the provision of education, care, assessment and enriched learning environments for young children and their families.

Category: 60s baby names
Todd and Troy, Keith and Kent: Can those old surfer-boy names resurface?
After decades of classic Thomases and Timothys, Richards and Roberts, nothing sounded cooler in the sixties and seventies than a sleek, new, single-syllable name. I'm not talking about those that were just short-form nicknames like Josh and Jeff and Brad and Greg, or the inauthentic Hollywood-invented names like Rock or Tab.
No, these were legit, independent names– a number of which happened to be Scottish by birth. They were for the most part sharp and brisk, often with hard-edged 'k' or 't' endings, and some bore strong family resemblances to each other. We've called a segment of them Beach Boy Names—the personification of surfer machismo.
Some of these names are still in use; but we're wondering today if any of them are ready for a really strong comeback .

Its said that the one of the top reason startups fail is because of fight between co-founders. What are the reasons co-founders fight? 1: clash of ideas 2: not doing their part
what else can you think of?
Its said that the one of the top reason startups fail is because of fight between co-founders. What are the reasons co-founders fight? 1: clash of ideas 2: not doing their part what else can you think of? |
Money, money, money. People-problems, personal dislikes. Different and clouded visions regarding the company's future. Different past experiences, leading to different priorities regarding what should be done in the here and now. Emotional insecurity about one's future position, and by extension future social status in the company and outside of it... Perceptions of others not pulling their weight. Goes hand in hand with lack of understanding of other people's knowledge domains, leading to wrong assessment of how hard/easy the other guy's job is. Basically, if you want to enumerate all the causes of co-founder fights, you're not going to succeed. We're humans, sometimes some of us don't have a good reason to fight but do it anyways... | |||||||||||||||||||||
Co-founders of a business often don't know each other well before they start and when they do they often don't know each other in a stressful work environment. After you've worked together for a period of time and under much duress you find out:
It's hard to find people you jive with. I wrote to blog posts on the topic in which I advise against co-founders (despite conventional wisdom). See links below. | |||
I think lack of trust and respect roots to a lot of serious-conflicts. I just remember a line from "Beautiful mind", the point was... If you are doing your best, you are happy/satisfied. If you are in a good-frame of mind you can sit and talk. A conflict might be then just a different view of the other. Sit, talk and look for a solution. | |||
I am curious if this is a question with a purpose or the start of a blog with lots and lots of comments. You may want to put in some narrative to help with some direction. But, there is a great deal of stress in a start-up. Some people thrive on the uncertainty, but many don't deal with it well. If you add to that the personal pressures of time away from children/girlfriend, concerns about paying your bills until money comes in, it can make for a very volatile situation. It is important to have a way to blow off stress, and to come back to a starting point where you can think and talk reasonably, rather than having the stress being in control. So, this volatility will lead to fights, as I am under stress, and you moved my pencil. How dare you touch MY pencil!!!! You may think I am being unreasonable, and try to be rational, but that will just send me over the edge. So, this is a long-winded way to say that there are many reasons to fight, as Jesper explained, but the underlying reasons may be more serious than what the fight was about. UPDATE: Wrt how to deal with this, it really depends on what the underlying cause is. If it is a difference in vision then the solution would be different than how to spend the money you have (do we need 30" monitors or advertising). But, as with most issues, if you work on developing active listening as well as a higher EQ (Emotional IQ), and are self-aware enough to be able to monitor what you are thinking while your anger is escalating, then you can work on fixing it. If both of you can't do this, then learning to have a dialogue would be useful, as, in a dialogue, the idea is to safely express ideas, to defend it, to have ideas swirling around, and at the end, have a conclusion, where everyone is heard, everyone has input, and the solution will probably be a group idea, not accepting one idea or the other. This requires some experience. If this doesn't work, then just split the work so each founder is responsible, and makes the final decision in his area, and the others just accept that, and keep your eye on moving toward the vision that started the company. | ||||
Typically a startup is risky, puts a financial strain on people, has them working close to each other for long hours, sometimes taking on tasks they are not good at and find frustrating. Add to that that there may be lots of expectations - reasonable and unreasonable, with hopes and dreams attached to the venture. Aside from a marriage, I can't think of a situation that is more ripe for arguments or fights. | |||||||||
I split up with a co-founder years ago because I didn't like his ethics. He was double-billing. His response: "His hour was worth at least two hours of other developers time" This was a guy I thought was trustworthy - I had worked with him at two companies and he wrote an O'Reilly book back in the late 1990s. We found other items we didn't see eye to eye on. Pick your partners very carefully. | |||
I think Jesper has mentioned some really good points and his concluding thoughts are spot on regarding sometimes not needing a reason to start a fight. On the flip side of the coin you may hear a lot of stories about founders fighting and clashes happening along with messy disputes. I think in a lot of cases this is a healthier outcome for the startup as a whole. If there are two people or more who can not see eye to eye or have a different set of values, the sooner you break away the better it will be for the both of you. What really kills companies is when two co-founders don't get along but just to maintain status quo do not fight either. Confrontation is messy and sometimes very complicated. This is a much more painful way of breaking apart and one which results in inflicting much greater cost on all the people involved. In essence friction between founders is good to a certain extent. When the balance tips in either extreme that is when unpleasantness occurs and the problems begin. | |||||
Bitterness - one partner will often feel that they either do more work or aren't appreciated. Different directions and ideas for the companies. The very differences that make founders a good team (initially) can pull them apart in the future. Ego. Sad but true. | |||

Probably the most comprehensive analysis I've come across, but it still doesn't explain everything. I really enjoyed the film. I'm still thinking about it which is the sign of something great IMO. I'm tossing up whether or not I should see it again after reading that analysis.

08-17-2012, 01:41 AM #3This is a tricky question since you've got an earlier engine in a later model body, 74's didnt require or have convertors when they were manufactured, 86's did have them, the real answer is gonna be what your state Clean air board says is right. Some states go by the engine year for requirements and some states go by the body year, what does NJ go by?

08-17-2012, 05:00 PM #7What you really need to find out is what you have to do for emissions some states if you have an engine that isn't factory to the car you can register it as a custom car so it doesn't have to pass normal emissions it just need to pass inspection.
08-19-2012, 11:34 AM #8Cats are a tricky legal issue because it's more than state law, there's federal laws involved too. The current generation of cats do not block flow like the early ones did by any means. I'd toss on a pair of racing cats from Summit or Jegs, or at least their universal cats. THey claim no performance loss and it keeps you legal. In either case, they are a good thing for burning the unburnt hydrocarbons left int he exhaust.

Lesson Objective
Students will improve their understanding of unbalanced forces and that Newton's laws predict the motion of most objects. This lesson is intended to supplement and reinforce existing science and physics curriculum for the corresponding reporting clusters for California CST testing. Students will gain an understanding of Bay Area Figuration, Abstract Expressionism, found objects, assemblage, asymmetry, and balance in art.
Time Alloted
3 class periodsState Content Standards
Grade 8 Science
- 8PC2.a. Students know a force has both direction and magnitude.
- 8PC2.b. Students know when an object is subject to two or more forces at once, the result is the cumulative effect of all the forces.
- 8PC.2.e. Students know that when the forces on an object are unbalanced, the object will change its velocity (that is, it will speed up, slow down, or change direction).
Grade 8 Visual Arts
- 1.1 Use artistic terms when describing the intent and content of works of art.
- 2.2 Design and create maquettes for three-dimensional sculptures.
- 4.3 Construct an interpretation of a work of art based on the form and content of the work.
Grade 9-12 Physics
- PH1.b. Students know that when forces are balanced, no acceleration occurs; thus an object continues to move at a constant speed or stays at rest (Newton's first law).
- PH1.d. Students know that when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object always exerts a force of equal magnitude and in the opposite direction (Newton's third law).
- PH1.g. Students know circular motion requires the application of a constant force directed toward the center of the circle.
Grade 9-12 Visual Arts
- 1.4 Analyze and describe how the composition of a work of art is affected by the use of a particular principle of design.
- 1.5 Analyze the material used by a given artist and describe how its use influences the meaning of the work.
- 2.1 Solve a visual arts problem that involves the effective use of the elements of art and the principles of design.

Hudson, Robert H. (American, born 1938) Robert Hudson studied at the San Francisco Art Institute during the early 1960s, a period when the second wave of Abstract Expressionism and Bay Area Figuration dominated the curriculum. In pursuing sculpture, he found special encouragement from faculty member Manuel Neri and sought to create large sculptures of welded steel. Like Neri, he aimed in sculpture to create a dialogue with Expressionism and Figuration and began to paint his metal assemblages with bold colors. Hudson then added found objects, such as the distinctive antlers of Outrigger, to his works. Such sculptures are seemingly irrational in their construction. Symmetry is avoided, and the sense of instability intentional. The title of this work, a word describing projecting supports on either boats or aircraft, is suggested by the way the sculptural elements curve around and then thrust from the core lattice. Hudson particularly enjoyed the disjuncture between the flat and the fully round, which his decorative painting enhanced. Treating the surface as a canvas, especially a patterned canvas, Hudson flattens forms and draws attention to specific zones, yet the final result is open and full of movement as called for by the tenets of 20th-century Modernist sculpture. Day 1 1. Have students look carefully at the image, Outrigger. This image is accessible on Digital Crocker at crockerartmuseum.org, on the Striking Gold CD ROM, and slides and overheads available for purchase through School Services. 2. Ask the students to describe what objects, colors, shapes, textures, and lines they see in Outrigger and provide a definition of Abstract Expressionism, Bay Area Figuration, assemblage, and found objects. 3. Lead an open class discussion with questions, and record all comments on the board. Ask: a. Describe the geometric shapes and forms you see in the sculpture. Describe the surface designs that the artist painted on it. How does this help you to define what the sculpture might represent? b. What do you think the artist meant by the word "outrigger?" In what way might someone describe this sculpture as a figure (the pyramid is a head or hat and the antlers are arms)? If not a figure, what kinds of structures does it resemble (playground equipment, amusement park rides, etc.)? c. What colors did the artist use? Would you describe them as bright or dull? How would you describe the mood of this artwork? d. What parts of the sculpture might be "found objects?" Which parts of the sculpture look like they might move? In what ways and directions would they move? How does movement change your interpretation of the artwork or what you think the artist was trying to communicate? 4. Compare how certain parts of the sculpture look like it would take a weak force to move and other parts look like a stronger force would be required. Break students into groups and have them discuss the following science problems (these are fictitious situations and it should be noted that visitors are asked not to touch the sculpture): a. A few students want to see the sculpture's movement. Brittany is pushing down on the top of the pyramid with a force of 40 N, Yung is pushing against one side with a force of 40 N, and Jasmine is pushing against the opposite side with a force of 40 N. Are the forces the same or different? Why? b. Samuel and Jackson are pushing against the sculpture on opposite sides at the exact same time. Samuel is using a force of 150 N and Jackson is pushing at a force of 100 N. How will the sculpture move – with what magnitude of force? c. Imagine that one part of the sculpture can move in all four directions. Taylor is pushing downward using 50 N, Marianna is using a force of 35 N to the left, Salvatore is pushing upward at a force of 10 N, and Diana is pushing to the right at a force of 20 N. In what direction will that part of the sculpture increase in speed? d. A 20 N force and a 30 N force are acting from a single point in opposite directions. What force must be added to produce equilibrium? e. There is a two-pound moveable part on the sculpture hanging on a spring that is close to the ground. Marianna kicks it with a force of 60 newtons. What is the force on Marianna's foot? f. Imagine adding a ball on a rope that could swing around the tip of the pyramid at the very top of the sculpture. Draw a diagram of the path the ball takes around the sculpture. Draw a diagram of the path of the ball if the rope broke. Day 2 - 3 1. Art production: Lead the class in a discussion of balance and asymmetry in sculpture by reviewing how Hudson used different geometric and organic forms in Outrigger. The title comes from the section at the base of the sculpture that resembles the frame extending from the side of a boat that prevents it from capsizing (also used on airplanes). Ask students to share personal experiences of activities that require balance, such as roller coasters, canoes, bicycles, etc. 2. Using scratch paper, have students list a favorite activity from the class discussion and sketch at least two organic shapes and three geometric shapes that create an asymmetric and balanced sculpture to represent that activity. They will create each shape from construction paper. Create a variety of shapes by cutting, folding and rolling paper. Encourage students to create as much height as possible by building the composition up from a wider base. 3. Distribute the art supplies. Before folding and gluing the paper into the final compositions, students will color each piece of paper using bright primary (yellow, red, blue) and secondary (orange, purple, green) colors in abstract patterns. 4. To complete their sculptures, students will add a moveable component. For example, a free hanging loop, a wadded up little ball, etc.About the Artist and Artwork
Lesson Procedure
Abstract Expressionism: A painting movement in which artists typically applied paint rapidly, and with force to their huge canvases in an effort to show feelings and emotions, painting gesturally, non-geometrically, sometimes applying paint with large brushes, sometimes dripping or even throwing it onto canvas. Their work is characterized by a strong dependence on what appears to be accident and chance, but which is actually highly planned. Some Abstract Expressionist artists were concerned with adopting a peaceful and mystical approach to a purely abstract image. Usually there was no effort to represent subject matter. Not all work was abstract, nor was all work expressive, but it was generally believed that the spontaneity of the artists' approach to their work would draw from and release the creativity of their unconscious minds. The expressive method of painting was often considered as important as the painting itself. (http://www.artlex.com/)
Assemblage: A three-dimensional composition in which a collection of objects is unified in a sculptural work.
Asymmetry, asymmetrical balance: Asymmetry is when one side of a composition does not reflect the design of the other. Asymmetrical balance is the kind of balance (one of the principles of art) in which the parts of a design are organized so that one side differs from the other without destroying that composition's overall harmony. Consequently, when an asymmetrical design is disturbingly off balance, the result is disharmony. Also known as informal balance, asymmetry is the opposite of symmetry. (http://www.artlex.com/)
Balance: The way in which the elements in visual arts are arranged to create a feeling of equilibrium in a work of art. The three types of balance are symmetry, asymmetry, and radial.
Bay Area Figuration (or West Coast Figuration): A term applied to the work of a number of American painters active in the San Francisco Bay area in the 1950s whose paintings were figurative but strongly influenced by the broad and vigorous brushwork of Abstract Expressionism. The main artists involved were Elmer Bischoff (1916–91), Richard Diebenkorn, and David Park (1911–60), all of whom had either studied or taught at the California School of Fine Arts (where Rothko and Still had been teachers in the late 1940s). (http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/Bay_Area_Figuration.aspx)
Found image, found material, or found object: An image, material, or object, not originally intended as a work of art, that is obtained, selected, and exhibited by an artist, often without being altered in any way. (http://www.artlex.com/)
Organic: Refers to shapes or forms having irregular edges or to surfaces or objects resembling things existing in nature.

Polls vary on how N.Y. gun laws affect Cuomo
Just how much did the stringent new gun laws pushed by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo affect the Democrat's approval rating?
A Siena Research Institute poll released Monday showed 58% of New York voters approve of the job Cuomo is doing, down from 60% at the beginning of last month. But a Quinnipiac University survey released last week showed a sharper drop in Cuomo's approval rating, from 74% in December to 58% at the end of January.
In Monday's Siena poll, 56% of voters said they would support Cuomo for re-election in 2014, while 36% said they would vote for someone else.
In the aftermath of the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, Cuomo pressed for stringent new gun restrictions in his state, which were passed by the New York legislature in mid-January. The measures included a ban on assault weapons and high capacity magazines, increased penalties for purchasing illegal guns and using guns on school grounds, and a provision strengthening rules governing the mentally ill, including a requirement to report potentially harmful behavior.
"There is no question that Andrew Cuomo spent some of the political capital he had built up in two years as Governor with the recent passage of New York's new gun control law," Siena pollster Steven Greenberg said. "On all three measures - favorability, job performance and re-electability - Cuomo's support among voters dropped a little over the last few weeks."
Despite the drop, however, Cuomo remains popular in New York. Aside from the high approval rating, voters largely view Cuomo favorably. Sixty-seven percent had a favorable view of Cuomo in Monday's poll, while 29% viewed him unfavorably.
Siena's poll Monday showed a large majority of New York voters - 65% -- support the new gun laws, compared to 30% who oppose the laws and 5% who aren't sure.
Approval of the gun laws was highest among Democrats, independents, and people who live in the southern part of the state. But a majority of Republicans oppose the measures, as do people who view the NRA favorably.
"Nearly three-quarters of Republicans and those favorable to the NRA, and a solid majority of upstate voters believe the law was rushed through without careful consideration," Greenberg said.
The Siena Research Institute poll was conducted by telephone from 1,154 registered New York voters between January 27 and 31. The sampling error was plus or minus 3.7 percentage points.

Historic Berlin Museum To Open After Decades-Long Closure
If you need an excuse to head to Berlin, Germany this fall, here's a great reason. The Neues Museum will open up in October for the first time since before World War II. The museum was first unveiled last week after a six-year restoration to repair damage done during World War II. USA Today reports that British architect David Chipperfield symbolically handed over the empty building's key to city museum officials. The museum is one of five in Museum Island, one of Berlin's famed cultural destinations. All five museums haven't been open to the public at the same time since 1939. The German government is working on a $1.5 billion updating of the entire Museum Island compound that won't be finished for at least another decade.
The Neues Museum will be home to Berlin's extensive Egyptian collection including a 3,300-year-old bust of queen Nefertiti. The $250 million restoration used much of the original material that survived wartime bombing and exposure to the weather. The goal was not to completely restore the building but to bring it into the modern age with its entire history intact.

2:25 pm in Help the project by testing this, Plants by Ziska Burg
January 19, 2012
As an addition to Brittas Light Blog-Post, I want to share with you what I researched.
This Blog is about Photoperiodism, an phenomenon which we can use to influence our Plants if we want to. But there exist many other means to influence Plants like Temperature, Color of the Light, intesity of Light, Nutritions, Ph,…
Photoperiodism is about the length of the light and dark period in 24h. With the length of uninterrupted darkness as a critical Part.
Short-day Plants (SD) need fewer than a certain number of hours of light in 24 hours to maintain or induce a special effect.
Long-day Plants (LD) need more than a certain number of hours of Light.
Intermediate-day Plants (ID) need more than … hours of light but less then … .
Day-neutral Plants (DN) are indifferent to the length of light for the effect you want.
Temperature can influence a Plants category. And some Plants need short days for a time before they become Long-day Plants (and the other way Round). Some need their special Light periode or they wont flower (or somthing)(absolute Effect) and some just benefit from their Light period and flower more (quantitative/qualitativ Effect).
We want to influence Flowering
For that effect I have found some Tables of Plants and their categories:
q= quantitative/qualitativ Effect (means if you change the lightning to the preferred form you can get more flowers or a better effect, but the Plant doesn't necessarily need the lighting length to flower) a= absolute Effect (needs the lightning or it won't flower. -> all Flowers that have nothing else added (probably) lT= low Temperature, hT= high TemperatureIf nothing noteted behind they are probably absolute (or not) but it definitly has an effect. The Latin names are from the Book and the explanation is from wikipedia and can be falsly interpreted by me.
Short-day Plants
Allium cepa (lT<8° for sev. weeks otherwise DN, q?) – Onion – ger: Zwiebel
Amarantus caudatus/graecizans (q?) – Grain alternative, vegetable

Caption contest: How Sharpie is your wit?
21 February 2013 - 2:54pm
Caption contest: How Sharpie is your wit?
Update: Congrats to our winner - Tammy L. from Keavy, Kentucky. Her caption was short and sweet - and made us laugh out loud: "For a good time ... call 1-812-937-4401." (That's the park's phone number.) Congrats to Tammy, who wins two one-day tickets. Thanks to all who entered!
It's time for another caption contest!
While leafing through Nathan's latest construction photos from Hyena Falls, this one made me laugh.
What in the world is a Sharpie doing in a construction zone? And more importantly - what the heck is he writing?
Judging by the looks on their faces, it's pretty important.
Here's my feeble crack at it: Tic ... tac ... wait! I can't remember - am I "x" or "o" this time around?
Now it's your turn - what's he getting ready to write with that Sharpie? Or, what are they discussing so earnestly?
Make us laugh out loud and you could win two one-day tickets to Holiday World & Splashin' Safari!
A few rules:
1. Must be 13 or older to enter.
2. Must not be an employee of Holiday World & Splashin' Safari (or that employee's immediate family member).
3. Yes, you may enter more than once. Because you're just that witty, right? But five times per person is the limit. Really. And only one caption per posted Comment, please.
4. If you've won tickets from one of our contests within the past six months, you're not elegible to win. If it's been more than six months - have at it!
5. Judges' decision is final. It always is.
6. Deadline is next Monday at noon. That's 2/25/13 at 12 noon CST. We'll notify the winner by email by that Wednesday.
How to enter? Post your hilarious caption to the above photo as a "Comment" here on this HoliBlog post (we moderate our Comments, so don't get all worked up when it doesn't show up right away, okay? As long as you don't go all naughty on us, we'll post your caption).
Good luck!
Call me..lol
For a good time call...1-812-937-4401
You gotta put the little
You gotta put the little black dots on both sides...and don't let Dougie back there put any more BIG black dots on them like he did this one...
Counting Down

Caption Contest
Everyone tried hard not to stare. But the awkward fact remained, Tim and his orange hardhat just didn't fit in with the group.
Secret Plans
Cleverly disguised as construction workers, Athletic Directors Fred Glass (middle) and Mitch Barnhart (right) met with sport mediators (left) in a secret location yesterday to discuss ways to revive the Indiana/Kentucky basketball series.
muddy boots
OK, Lets have a contest....Who has the muddiest boots?
Whats for Lunch??
What do you think we should order for lunch? Maybe three Hyena Burgers?
"The meaning of life and everything"
So in conclusion, you take the square root of the sum of the hypothesis and multiply by pi, you get 42.

Onki Running Boards
Founded in California in 1999, Onki Corporation has grown as a supplier of innovative sport utility and truck products due to their focus on high quality and customer service. Running boards available with creative colorful expressions and backlighting, grille guards, nerf boards, and custom exhaust tips are just a few examples of the stylish and durable offerings from Onki. The companys goal is to become one of the leading auto accessory manufacturers and distributors in the United States, and Onki works hard to listen to customer needs and demands as they grow into tomorrow.
Onkis high level of commitment to customer satisfaction and quality control quickly becomes obvious when looking at any of their products. When stainless steel is used, Onki accepts only triple-plated T-304 grade constructed with the use of precision-fitted joints and hidden welds. After construction and shaping refinement is complete, quality checks are performed by laser to ensure all tolerances are within specification. Only then does a unique stainless steel polishing process begin to ensure all finishes are polished to perfection for a seamless appearance that would look proper on any ultra-luxury vehicle. Onki offers a limited lifetime warranty so you can be confident any stainless steel items look good as long as you own your vehicle.
- Onki® - Volcano Running Boards Starting at: $176.40 $176.40
- Onki® - American Runner Running Boards Starting at: $322.64 $322.64
- Onki® - Nerf Boards Starting at: $317.52 $317.52
- Onki® - Stainless Steel Grille Guard Starting at: $720.72 $720.72
- Onki® - Aegis Grille Guard Starting at: $655.20 $655.20
While some accessory manufacturers design a product and simply shrink its overall size for different vehicles, Onki goes the extra mile to make sure what they offer is tailored specifically to fit each make and model. Grille guards, brush guards and tail light guards that block bulb visibility reduce overall vehicle safety are unacceptable. Running boards and exhaust tips that are made from materials that corrode easily offer an unacceptable potential of coming loose on the road and causing injury. Onki strives to be first in product safety by focusing on these and many other necessary details others miss. For example, if your Onki running board doesnt offer just the right amount of convenient stepping ease you planned on, unique bracket mounts allow adjustment up, down, in, or out.
And if youre looking for Hummer H2 accessories, youve come to the right place. While many companies manufacture accessories for the Hummer H2 out of aluminum, Onki believes the superior strength of stainless steel lends itself far better to the vehicles actual needs. When you consider that the highest quality of T-304 stainless steel Onki uses offers the same corrosion resistance as aluminum, theres really no reason to put anything else on your Hummer. Onkis high level of commitment to customer satisfaction and quality control quickly becomes obvious when looking at any of its products, and their full range of H2 tow hooks, fog light brackets, rear bumper badges, hitch covers, and taillight guards are no exception.
The Onki volcano running boards look awesome of my SUV. They are extremely high quality and give my SUV a distinct uniqueness no one else around the town has. The running boards have made it much easier to hop out of my SUV, which has a 3-inch body lift. The running boards are wide and left me plenty of clearance room for off-road driving. If you're thinking of going to a truck and SUV accessory shop, don't... CARiD.com will save you at least $100-150. This website has more variety than anyone else and will enable you to save money by ordering directly from the manufacturer.
Looked good online, but when I actually had it in my hands... I knew I was on to something. Read the instructions and went to work. Within an hour, my van looked like Hercules. I read reviews on this product and suffice it to say, everybody with a tool box should not be under a vehicle.
This is a very nice design. I looked all over before seeing this grille guard. It definitely enhances the look, as well as adds serious protection to the front of your truck. Very easy to assemble and mount. A real head-turner... I have got nothing but compliments. Very pleased.
Onki delivers high quality. Best grille guard currently on the market for my F-250. Somewhat more expensive than other grille guards, but the high polished stainless steel is much more attractive. CARiD had the best price.
The bolts for existing tow hooks are used to mount 2012 Dodge. They are too short. Not enough washers came with it. Shorted several lock nuts. Had to go to hardware store to buy this stuff. Nuts behind bumper are hard to get to. All this is manufacturer (Onki) problem, not CARiD. CARiD has taken good care of me. Would use them again.
I purchased a set of running boards for our Escalade; it was very easy to do as I'm a mechanic. It was a simple installation with so many extra bolts and brackets that I will use on other products. Thanks, Kevin!
Finish and look are excellent, with an exception to the headlight grille. It was designed with a sharper angle than required. Which does not allow to center headlights behind its protector. Onki should give it a reconsider. In addition to the absence of non-theft nuts. If added, it would allow for more security. Because any guy with a set of wrenches can de-assemble this nice grille in ten minutes and walk away with it. Overall, it is a piece of beauty and protection confidence.
I was looking for a grille guard that was beefier than the run of the mill offered by most manufacturers. This guard is definitely heavier than the rest, still I had hopped it would be a little heavier in some places. I had to remove my tow hooks to mount this guard, but it has substantial hooks built into the mount. Looks sharp on my truck now, I just need to mount the killer lights I have!
We bought and installed the ONKI Grille Guard and it really topped out my front end. It truly looks great no sensational! We wanted protection for my Dodge Ram plastic front grille, it really foot the bill. I don't worry about minor accidents in the parking lots anymore. Its truly bumper to bumper coverage.

Hey everyone, I hope things are going well so far this season. As for me personally I have not seen a deer as of yet. I did draw on a coyote opening morning but could not get a clean shot at him.
There is one other bowhunter that hunts the same general area as me. He said that there is a group of 6 does running together thru the area. He had seen them several times durning his scouting trips right around dusk. Opening morning he had a doe present a perfect shot but let her pass. For 2 reason's the first was she had her two little one's with her and the second was he figured it was early enough in the season to hold off and wait for a lone doe.
I am wondering if anyone out there with a zone 10 permit would like to try their luck in the area I hunt. I hunt alone all my old hunting partners no longer have the time or the urge to hunt any longer. I myself did not get to purchase a permit when they went on sale so for me it's buck only. But if anyone wants to fill their tag I would gladly try and help you to do so. All I would want in return would be 2 or 3 steaks and maybe enough stew meat for a good stew. If I am the one to harvest a doe, otherwise I would expect nothing.
I am in the Lowell/Dracut area and hunt public land that was little hunting pressure. At least in the portion of land I hunt

Mr. FLOYD submitted a majority report from the Committee on Roads the bill [H. R. 77] to provided for the purchase of toll roads, recommending the passage of the bill with certain amendments.
A minority reprot was submitted from the same Committee, recommending the indefinite postponement of the bill.
Mr. COOPER gave it as his opinion that it was dangerous to place into the hands of the County Commissioners a power which they may exercise to the detriment of the people, whether they exercise it or not. We can not tell what they will do. Shelby County alone has over thirty gravel roads, page: 121[View Page 121] which would cost, without any jobs being put up, $200,000 to $300,000. If Counties have any money to invest, let them invest in development of streams, the construction of free roads and building bridges, and not to the improvement of roads that already exist. This bill imposes burdens upon the people that they are not at this time ready to submit to. We are approaching a period when everything shines brightly upon us, and let us not undertake to burden the people unnecessarily withe taxation. He hoped the minority report would prevail.
The minority report was rejected, and the majority report was concurred in.
Mr. WRIGHT made a motion, which was agreed to, that 300 copies of this bill [H. R. 77] be printed for distribution in this House.
Mr. CARTER submitted an amendment to Section 1, so as to insert a proviso "that the County Commissioners shall not purchase any gravel roads, except upon a petition of the majority of the legal voters in the County."
Mr. FALL was of the opinion that every member in the House wants a bill of a similar nature, and was satisfied a resolution report, or amendment, looking toward the killing, or intent to impair, in any way, the features of this bill would not meet with the wishes of our constituents at home.
Mr. FLOYD said he had no objections to an amendment that would improve the bill, but wanted it published and examined fully in all its details. The amendment would have effect to kill the bill; that would be the legitimate result: hence he considered the amendment simply an interception of the proposition before the house. If, after it is printed, anyone wishes I to make amendments, then would be the time, but he wanted the bill to have a chance to live.
The amendment (Mr. Carter's) was adopted. and the bil ordered engrossed for the third reading.
Mr. FLOYD, from the Committee on Roads, submitted a report on the bill [H. R. 88] authorizing the sales of plank, macadamized and other roads under execution, and empowering purchasers to reorganize, etc., recommending its passage, with amendments.
The report was returned to the Committee for signatures.

Disgraced Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich's Personal Belongings To be Sold at Auction
Filed under: Auctions
Disgraced Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich's personal belongings are set to go up for auction by the storage facility to which he owes one year's worth of back rent. Indeed, Boyer-Rosene Moving & Storage, a Chicago-area moving and storage company, plans to sell the contents of seven 5' by 7' wooden storage crates he has rented for the past eight years (as seen above), according to Paul Lombardo, Boyer-Rosene's chief executive officer.
Most of the contents of the crates are documents, but there's one intriguing item: a life-size statue of crooner Elvis Presley with a microphone in hand.
Unless Blagojevich ponies up what he owes, the public will be invited to buy at auction the contents of the crates on August 14. The proceeds of the auction will be donated to a local charity, Children's Memorial Hospital, according to Lombardo.
It is unlikely that former Governor Rod Blagojevich is terribly focused on the belongings he left at Boyer-Rosene--at least not right now. In fact, he spent much of today in a court room listening to closing arguments during his federal trial in Chicago for corruption charges. Jurors are expected to begin their deliberations tomorrow.

Gender Identity and Transgender IssuesTopic OverviewGender identity is your internal sense of whether you are male or female. When you are transgender, this feeling doesn't match your actual sex. Your body is male or female, but inside you feel you are really the opposite sex. You feel "trapped" in the wrong body. The feeling that something is different may begin early in life. Many adults who are transgender remember noticing a difference as children between what their bodies looked like on the outside and what they felt on the inside. Other transgender people make this discovery as adults. Sometimes a person feels so strongly that his or her body is incorrect that the person decides to have medical treatment, from hormones to surgery, to make the body match how he or she feels inside. People who have gender reassignment surgery to make these changes may be described as "transsexual." Sexual orientation and gender identity are related, but they aren't the same thing. For example, a person can be transgender without being homosexual. Some people use makeup, haircuts, or clothing styles to look like members of the other gender. This is called cross-dressing and is not the same thing as being transgender. Cross-dressers may be heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual. Remember: You're not aloneThe pressure and stress caused by feeling alone and sad can lead to depression, a very serious problem. Depression can lead to suicide. Teens with depression are at particularly high risk for suicide and suicide attempts. If you are transgender, it's important to realize that there are lots of people like you. They have the same problems, emotions, and questions that you have, whether you are openly transgender, are still hiding the fact that you are transgender, or have a friend or family member who is transgender. It can be very comforting and helpful to talk to people who know what you're going through. You can find such people through local or online groups. If you don't know where to find support, ask:
Why is it important to understand stress and know how to cope with it?Stress is a fact of life. Most of us have periods of stress at various times in our lives. But extra stress can have a serious effect on your health, especially if it lasts for a long time. If you are openly transgender, you may be under a lot of extra stress because of discrimination in the community. If you are still in the closet, you may have stress from hiding who you really are. Rejection, discrimination, fear, and confusion cause long-term stress in many transgender people. Constant stress can be linked to headaches, an upset stomach, back pain, and trouble sleeping. It can weaken your immune system, so that you have a harder time fighting off disease. If you already have a health problem, stress may make it worse. It can make you moody, tense, or depressed. Your relationships may suffer, and you may not do well at work or school. People who are under long-term stress are also more likely to smoke tobacco, drink alcohol heavily, and use other drugs. These habits can lead to serious health problems. It's important to recognize the effects that stress can have on your life and to learn how to cope with stress to stay healthy. For more information, see the topic Stress Management. How can you support someone who is transgender or transsexual?

If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.
