What have you found out about the TSA.
What I found out about it is that the TSA as an organization is not doing a very good job -- on their due diligence before they hire.
Individuals who are supposed to be screeners and processors.
But they change their title -- officer.
And did it through the rule making process.
Why -- what are the things that I've -- start to see is that you -- after ten years are we any safer in -- concluding that may be not.
I think that we may be less safe take -- And here's the recent line.
-- -- report I've got a key findings page is dead and goes through the crimes it'd been committed and actually.
And know when you look at the fact that they have been fifteen -- have been arrested for theft eight sex crimes six for child pornography.
Five for assault.
Three for bribery and the list goes on and on firearms impersonating an officer murder conspiracy.
You know.
I'll probably find out -- since the individuals.
Who are filling this role of what is supposed to be customer service agents.
But has been changed through the rule making process to being called an officer.
And -- wearing that federal law enforcement uniform without any law enforcement training.
I think that what it does is to give a false sense of security and then it opens up the door to save my goodness.
Are these individuals qualified.
To be doing this job that they are hard to do in Minneapolis would say.
No they're not.
We knew is if this litany of the crimes they've committed -- checking these people kind of background checks of again been -- literally enforcement officers and are we not.
Finding out who they are.
You're you're exactly right see they all are.
Filling that role of an office or even though they're not -- we found out on the TSA's hiring practices.
Is that -- -- Washington Reagan airport.
Had they have advertised.
On pizza boxes.
And it discount gas stations for people to come an apply.
For a good job of being a TSA screener.
And then as I said they go through eight hours of training that's all.
Now if you wanted to be a law enforcement officer you would go through about six months of training that you also would have met certain.
In ordered to be able to submit.
An application.
Then you go through the training -- pass a test.
And and that's what you see with the TSA you -- individuals.
Who economy and who are not properly screened.
They go through eighty hours of training and then they're put in that uniform that would -- one to believe that that say are.
A law enforcement officers so people assume that's the role that they fail and they do not have those background checks in TSA should not be.
And -- human resource to businesses one of the decisions that we have made.
From doing our investigation.
What you know one of the things that you bring happens if these people are are checking us out they don't have the proper training what are they missing but I think there's a second issue didn't you also.
Do some investigation and find out that.
You know one of the biggest threats we face in the air travel system is the internal threat to the United States to -- -- our -- -- -- security clearances.
How do we know.
That there are not somebody who is partly to try to get that job in order to -- -- -- and that's exactly right that's why -- we may be less safe and there's a West Point study.
And that I have reference to end this report and it this -- bottom line.
You know if you're not doing the due diligence on the front and if you -- these individuals that have been arrested for these crimes.
And and they are there on the front lines if you whale but you don't know who they are and what their background -- and they don't have this training.
Then what do you open yourself up to.
The West Point study does talk about it being inside threat.
If you well and it recently just this week.
What my staff and I were able to.
Find out was that TSA has begun to monitor is a personal emails.
-- -- employees and county I think that would say.
-- you think they may have a problem with an inside threat -- when you look at.
Why me when you look at what is transpiring -- in -- find out that they are monitoring.
And doing keyword searches on their -- employees -- you know.
We need to adjust.
Go back and start out are on gas.
We were to have customer service agents who were there to assist the traveling public.
Well you know what TSA decided they were going to change their title in column officers put -- uniforms.
Unionize them.
Then start giving them ranks of officer our team leader -- supervisor putting apple ads and stripes on their shoulders.
I give them authority that they're not supposed to have.
-- tax payers and individuals that are traveling in using this process it's gotten out of control.
It and -- it to potential.
Leaks in breaches within our security system.
It needs to be.
Clinton back in the position in the posture that congress intended it when the legislation was put inflation need to put him back to work -- with a patch on it.
Assist people is they go through the screening.
And didn't tighten up.
The securities said that you do not have these openings and potential.
For greater harm.
Well I gotta tell you I would not want to mess with you and if you're explanation of what you're gonna there I think we ought to watch what you're doing you've got legislation proposed.
To deal with it TSA and everybody ought to support you now what is -- what is the act called.
It is called the strip back -- good not TSA -- policy is that it's called strip that easy to every member.
And what we wanna do is get him out of these uniforms and what what's legislation says look.
If you do not have federal law enforcement training and are not eligible for federal law enforcement benefits thing you can't where -- -- a farm.
And it takes some out in that uniform and returns them to the posture of being a customer service as -- -- Which is what the legislation.
I designed.
This position to be and -- we are very concerned.
I about the safety and security of the traveling public.
We're very concerned.
I had -- the safety that is in the air for our air train sick individuals.
All of that at the airports.
So we're saying we -- TSA that that nation must get him off of our city buses -- get him off of our state highways.
Let's say gad -- off of -- train systems let's put them back there where there assisting the traveling public you know.
The TSA is -- they do random searches they Don.
Take action on actionable intelligence.
Like the FBI -- the CIA.
Our law enforcement agencies do and we think that this isn't -- area.
That it's in this is something that we can address and put back on the right track and needs to be done and media -- Okay all right congresswoman Marsha Blackburn Republican of Tennessee -- at a toughest ladies in town is advocating that strip act.
I'm Capitol -- to deal with the TSA you go girl.
I win -- I know we'll come back and -- yen up today.

LITTLE ROCK ŌĆö Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Mike Ross is criticizing his Republican rivals for the state's top office, accusing them of pushing for tax cuts without explaining to voters how they'd pay for them.
Ross on Friday told members of the Political Animals Club that he'd support targeted tax cuts that would help create jobs if the state was running a surplus. He said the Republican gubernatorial hopefuls aren't explaining what taxes they'd raise or services they'd cut to pay for the reductions they're calling for.
We found this sweet little girl outside the Courier office. If anyone knows the owner, call 501-315-8228 or 479-799-7844.
Adults 18 and older are invited to attend a craft workshop on jewelry making led by members of the Cooperative Extension Homemakers group at 10 a.m. Friday at Herzfeld Library in Benton. Participants will make a beaded bracelet. No jewelry making experience needed. Attendance is first come, first served. Call 501-778-4766 for more information.
NEW YORK ŌĆö Wal-Mart Stores Inc. cut its annual profit and revenue outlook Thursday as the world's largest retailer expects a tough economy at home and abroad to continue to squeeze its low-income shoppers through the rest of the year.
Wal-Mart also reported second-quarter results that missed Wall Street estimates. The company's stock fell nearly 2 percent in premarket trading.
The spring and early summer showed some improvement from the first quarter, but overall, it's been a tough first half of the year for the discounter.
According to the city of Benton, Sharon Road between Elaine and Ruth streets will be closed today, Aug. 15, until 6 p.m.
Steve Perdue, head of genealogy/local history at the Saline County Library, will be available to answer your genealogy and local history questions from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday at Boswell Library in Bryant. Call 501-778-4766 to make an appointment.
LITTLE ROCK ŌĆö The Arkansas State Police has deployed 24 new low-profile vehicles that are designed to blend in with ordinary traffic.
The agency showed off the vehicles at headquarters early Wednesday.
The new cares are equipped the same as a conventional patrol car ŌĆö but come in different colors, do not have the roof-mounted bar light and are marked only on the passenger side with the State Police star and blue stripe.
Each of the 12 troops in the state get two of the vehicles.
Plans are under way for Amplify Christian Music Festival and event coordinators are saying it's going to be big. Josh Turner, one of the creators of the festival, said "Saline County has never seen an event like this ŌĆö from the size of the production to the well-known artists." "It's a big deal," he said. Attendance and parking will be free. Major artists slated to perform include Shawn McDonald, Matthew West, David Crowder, Josh Wilson and others.
Jennifer Watson will teach creative writing for ages 16 and older at 6 p.m. Thursday at Boswell Library in Bryant. No registration is required. Call 501-847-2166 for more information. ┬Ā

Hi Aleta
from England
Any relation to Dustin?
I see how much you enjoyed 'Before I go to Sleep' by S.J Watson. It's a great novel.
I'm searching for someone like you who appreciates the more original and interesting fiction that might be interested in trying out my novel trilogy "The DEAD LOOP". It is easy to read, emotive and a unique psychological thriller mystery about a man that dies every single day but has no idea why.
I want to impress you as much as Before I go to Sleep did.
My first Shelfari reader wrote on Amazon US: 'one of the most unique and original story plots that I have read in quite a long time... There is just something about the idea and the writing combined that from the very first few pages grabs you by the hand and tugs you along to see what comes next and fires your imagination to begin trying to figure out why it is happening.'
Part 1 is free on Kindle every 18 days or so, or $1.25 normally.
Or it's free all the time if you have Kindle Prime!
If it intrigues you at all and want to check it out, I would very much appreciate any feedback.
Best wishes,

The following quote is taken out of context intentionally, and the emphasis is unashamedly mine.
Israel considers...
An English translation of the Knesset session obtained by the Herald is revealing for the frankly expressed views of MPs.
Shaul Yahalom, of the Mafdal Party which represents the religious Zionist movement, said of the Israeli Foreign Ministry's public response: "The fact that these things were carried out in the legal way, only while denying everything even though they probably had recordings - as was at least made public - only caused more anger, diplomatic anger with the New Zealand Government that could have been avoided.
"There is no doubt that an effective intelligence service of the state of Israel, which is supposed to penetrate countries that are hostile to Israel, should be there. It cannot be done with an Israeli passport.
"I think the Israeli intelligence services can find solutions with the help of friendly intelligence services and have it done in a friendlier manner than the way it has been done so far."
Said Abd-Elmalek, of the Ra'am Party (United Arab List): "The state of Israel has its own ways. It wants to do killings, it wants to hurt leaders, and this is obviously opposed to any international legitimacy and it hurts especially countries that are friendly.
"There was no problem in obtaining American passports. Israel could get them very easily. It gets them. It probably would not serve their purpose in this case. Just as in order to live in Amman and kill a Palestinian leader it was necessary to use Canadian passports.
"Somebody was supposed to be in another Arab country and kill somebody over there, and having a New Zealand passport was considered to be the best."
"Americans are now under suspicion in the Arab world. They are not liked. Anybody knows that. The British are not liked either, not even regular Europeans who, following the invasion of Iraq, already have a negative image in the Arab work, and this is why they looked for a country that does not have this kind of image."
Hemi Doron, from the right-wing Shinui party, claimed that two months before the Israeli passports incident, a Russian intelligence agent was caught in New Zealand.
"The Russian Government apologised. This man was deported from New Zealand and that story was over.
"They did not intent to hurt us and treat us differently than they did with that Russian agent. All we have to do is learn some humility and admit mistake."
An MP from the ruling Likud faction, Magli Vahaba, said he would not take advantage of an "operational mishap" - if indeed it had taken place - to criticise Israeli intelligence. But he wanted a Knesset committee to study the issue.
Other MPs implored Foreign Minister Shalom to own up and apologise for Israel's actions.
Hmmm, "All we have to do is learn some humility and admit mistake". Now I might expect words like that from a left of centre NZer, but an extreme right wing Israeli? NEVER! Hemi Doran, I admire your honesty and thank you.
The second is the first of three written by Herald's Editor. Fran O'Sullivan is an "ex" politician. Her stakes as both journalist and Editor are tops with me given the picture that she writes here…
Fran O'Sullivan's point of view...
OK, so it is more the kind of writing that one might expect to see in a blog or personal website.
One of the questions that always surfaces whenever one is critical of the Israeli state is that of anti-semitism. There have been occasions when this label has been thrown in my direction (quite falsely I think but TIJMHO) for saying things like "Israelis are as much terrorists as the Palestinians." At the time of the original incident, the label was given to the NZ Government. In the first of the two quoted articles, it is pointed out that – for example the last resolution concerning Israel's "wall" had NZ voting as one of some 150, against 16 in Israel's favour.
Again, as that article points out, only two nations have consistently voted on Israel's side – Israel of course, and the United States of America.
Cut now to a different source – the little debate over in The Sciolist's corner - The Sciolist again...in "matter of fact" mood
Irrespective of the validity of bin Laden's "Letter to America", there is no doubt about the link between U.S. – Israel support and the messianic hatred of extreme Islam for the United States.
You know, I can not help wondering what might happen should the U.S. vote in the U.N. once, just once, across the floor from Israel on a matter pertaining to that country…
Hemi Doran, you rock!!

BG Group first to seal U.S. LNG export deal
- Tweet
- Share this
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Britain's BG Group (BG.L) took the lead in a race to export liquefied natural gas from the United States on Wednesday, inking a landmark $8 billion deal with Cheniere Energy (LNG.A) to open a new chapter in the shale gas revolution that has redefined global markets.
The deal, under which Cheniere will supply leading LNG trader BG Group with gas to ship across the globe over 20 years, will help Cheniere secure financing to build the first U.S. export terminal in nearly 50 years at Sabine Pass in Louisiana. Shares in Cheniere surged 50 percent on the news.
The agreement is a milestone for a U.S. natural gas market that has been turned upside down by the discovery of a century's worth of cheap shale reserves. Cheniere built Sabine Pass for imports in 2008, but those quickly dried up as demand slowed and prices tanked.
"This is clearly the most bullish sign for U.S. LNG exports that we have seen," said Nikos Tsafos, analyst at PFC Energy in Washington, D.C.
"Much of the industry has been very skeptical about US LNG exports. Now here is a world-class LNG player who is saying, we looked at the economics and they can work," he added.
The deal is expected to reap $410 million a year, Souki told Reuters, which could reverse the fortunes of a company which suffered after betting that the United States would be a major importer of LNG.
Record U.S. natural gas production, thanks to new drilling techniques, has led to a series of rival export proposals all hoping to sell LNG to higher paying markets in Asia and Europe.
LNG is natural gas cooled to a liquid for shipping overseas.
Under Wednesday's deal, Cheniere will sell 3.5 million tonnes per year of liquefied natural gas to BG for 20 years, with a potential 10 year extension.
BG Group, one of the world's biggest LNG players, has access to import markets across the globe: last year it exported LNG to 19 different countries, its website said. Anywhere from Japan to China to Chile could soon be importing U.S. gas.
Cheniere will sell the LNG to BG for 115 percent of U.S. benchmark Henry Hub prices, plus a $2.25 premium.
"The 15 percent will be used for fuel and sourcing the gas, so we will make $2.25 (per million British thermal units)," Souki said.
"We haven't decided where we will source the gas from. It will either be from the market or through a supply deal," he said.
Sabine Pass will have an initial capacity to export 9 million tonnes per year. Cheniere expects to announce another supply deal soon, Souki said.
Five projects across the United States and two in western Canada have applied for construction and export licenses, seeking long term deals predominantly with buyers in Asia where prices are four times higher than those in the United States.
"The United States is probably going to end up being a major exporter of natural gas in the coming years," said Phil Flynn, analyst with PFGBest Research in Chicago.
Cheniere is the only project in the United States with a license to ship LNG across the globe. It is now waiting for approval to start construction at Sabine Pass, which will source gas from prolific shale fields in the southern United States for thirsty Asian markets.
While U.S. gas prices has fallen under the weight of ample supply, Asian gas prices have rocketed more than 50 percent since March, when an earthquake knocked out a large portion of Japan's nuclear power supply and raised LNG imports.
Asian spot LNG prices are now around $17 per million British thermal units, compared to less than $4 in the United States, making export a viable option.

Posted by Darellmatt from Minneapolis, Minnesota on 2011-10-08Posted on JH Audio JH13 Pro
Recommend Product: Yes
Pros: Incredible clarity, sound stage, very comfortable
Cons: You can't really try them before you buy them
I struggled for over a year with the decision of whether to buy these. I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 800's, which are very satisfying to listen to, but they are a bit bulky for some settings and require a decent headphone amp to drive them.
My other hesitation was the hassle of getting custom ear canal impressions made. What finally took me over my resistance is that I was seeing an Audiologist for other reasons, and I decided to go ahead and have the impressions made.
Turns out that process was easier than I imagined, although neither headroom nor JH audio are really clear about the sequence of steps you need to follow. FYI they are this: order your JH13's first. When you place your order ask the sales person for the address to mail the impressions. Then schedule with your local audiologist and get impressions of the ear canal made, with your mouth open, and including an impression of the external ear. The audiologist will mail the impressions to you, and then you put the JH audio address on the box and mail them to JH audio. That's it. No big deal.
Worth it? Absolutely. Regarding comfort: I am listening as I write this. I have had my JH13's in for about 3 hours. I really almost can't tell they are there.
Except for this exquisite, transparent, ultra-realistic sound that envelopes me. The sound is pure, amazingly detailed, and the only thing the bass doesn't do is shake the walls. To say that the soundstage is vivid doesn't fully convey the experience. At the end of the day it's about enjoying the music. And that is what these in ear monitors.
One minor probem: they come with a custom engraved carrying case, engraved with your name. Which in my case, they misspelled.
The only other real problem with them is that you can't share the experience with anyone less devoted to high end audio than you are...
oh well...

Amazing IEMs
Posted by Asr from CO on 2010-02-12Posted on JH Audio JH13 Pro
Recommend Product: Yes
Pros: Killer sound quality, comfortable, totally isolating
Cons: custom fit (can't be shared or re-sold), some might find it bass-light
I've owned the JH13 since July 2009 (almost right after they came out) and since then it's been nothing but audio bliss in my ears! :)
But I'm getting ahead of myself and will explain a bit about the JH13 first. It's a custom IEM which means you have to acquire ear-mold impressions from your local audiologist (a separate cost that runs about $50-$150 depending on your area and where you get them done) to send off to JH Audio who then encloses their drivers into a customized acrylic shell replicated from your ear-mold impressions. There are lots of color options available for the acrylic shell, and you can also ask them to print a custom logo on it too. Getting accurate-fitting ear-mold impressions is extremely important because if the JH13 winds up not fitting well, it can be very uncomfortable and sound quality won't be as good otherwise.
With a proper fit, the JH13 is, well, pretty amazing. If all you've ever heard are cheap plastic earphones then the JH13 will open up a whole new world, at least provided your digital files are compressed at either a high bit-rate or are lossless. It has a remarkably "flat" response compared to a lot of other headphone brands that are sonically colored in one way or another (AKG, Audio-Technica, Grado, & Sennheiser for example) - no sibilance or otherwise peaky treble, neutral mid-range, and just enough bass for power & impact but not too much that it's bloated or flabby. What makes the JH13 especially good though is its combination of this "flat" frequency response with exceptionally good clarity throughout the spectrum (so you can hear every instrument discretely as opposed to them sounding like blended soup), a near-holographic soundstage (plenty of virtual air & space but not too much), and very quick impulse response (fast notes "pop" when needed).
It means that the JH13 is one of the least intrusive earphones or headphones that I've *ever* heard and that includes an absolutely huge array of headphones (to view them all, see my profile on Head-Fi, my username there is "Asr"). It sonically disappears extremely well and presents the music without imposing much of anything - which is an accomplishment because most headphones impose *something*. The JH13 is not a Grado, where upper mid-range is usually pushed forward and treble sometimes has too much snarl. It's not a Sennheiser, where you can sometimes feel like there's a curtain between you and the music and something else is masking the mid-range a bit. It's not an AKG K601/K701/K702 where there's excessive soundstage and the impulse response is sorely being held back.
It's a sonic tour de force that really just about beats down a ton of full-size headphones and then some. The only headphones I've heard that actually can beat the JH13 in at least one aspect? They cost in excess of $1K and most of them are discontinued - the AKG K1000, Grado HP1000, Sony Qualia 010, and Stax Omega II (MKI). The best part is that the JH13 can sound really good out of a computer or portable DAP with no external amplification - but if you wanted to formulate a proper hi-fi system with it, it will easily scale up with better equipment. Just buy the JH13 and you too can be amazed.
Isolation, you ask? This is a custom IEM - environmental noise becomes a non-issue. Even on public transit. I've worn the JH13 on both the bus and the plane and it's always a pleasure to be able to block out engine noise and screaming kids. :)

Worth every cent
Posted by Nacozari from Wisconsin on 2010-02-10Posted on JH Audio JH13 Pro
Recommend Product: Yes
Pros: Full and deep soundstage, amazing lows, crystal highs
Cons: Expensive, cannot be resold
I wavered for many months before buying these custom fit inner ear monitors. I was put off by the price, and I had bad experiences before with custom IEMs (poor fit, bad seal, etc.).
But I finally took the plunge, and am I ever glad I did. They compare favorably against other high-end headphones I have owned and tried, in fact they blow full-size headphones at the same price point out of the water. The sound is both incredibly realistic (many times, I've turned around, thinking someone was speaking to me, only to realize that I was hearing talking in the background of the recording), and better-than-real: the bass, while not bone-shaking, can be felt all over your body, and the level of detail makes you wonder if you've been bitten by a radioactive spider, and now you are endowed with Spidey hearing.
I was worried about the fit, afraid that I'd have to go through several rounds of tweaking the molds before I finally got the fit I liked, but I was very pleased to discover that they fit my ears perfectly, first try. The hard acrylic shell is actually easier on my ears than softer material, and the full outer-ear fit both ensures that it seats snugly and provides good (not fantastic, but more than good enough) isolation.
In short, it's hard to find anything bad to say about the JH13s. I've owned them for three months now, and my other headphones are just gathering dust.

Liquids have higher expansivities than solids

behavior of gases is more complicated, gases will expand as much as pressure will allow
Plutonium undergoes more phase transitions at ordinary pressures than any other element. As plutonium is heated it transforms through six different crystal structures before melting — α [alpha], β [beta], γ [gamma], Δ [delta], Δ′ [delta prime], and ε [epsilon]. Physical properties like density and thermal expansion vary significantly from phase to phase making it one of the more difficult metals to machine and work. The metallurgy of plutonium is best left to the experts.
Notes form LLNL that must be paraphrased. "One of plutonium's unique physical properties is that the pure metal exhibits six solid-state phase transformations before reaching its liquid state, passing from alpha, beta, gamma, delta, delta-prime, to epsilon. Large volume expansions and contractions occur between the stable room-temperature alpha phase and the element's liquid state. Another unusual feature is that unalloyed plutonium melts at a relatively low temperature, approximately 640 ℃, to yield a liquid of higher density than the solid from which it melts. In addition, the elastic properties of the delta face-centered cubic (fcc) phase of plutonium are highly directional (anisotropic). That is, the elasticity of the metal varies widely along different crystallographic directions by as much as a factor of six to seven."

The weekend snow has left Minsmere looking even more picturesque than ever. The snow is criss-crossed by the trails of rabbits, muntjacs, red deer, foxes, pheasants, moorhens and a variety of smaller birds. There is a clear patch around each low bush, especailly gorse, where the rabbits have been busy browsing, with the grass remaining innaccessible below the snow.
The feeders around the visitor centre have been a hive of activity, with large flocks of tits, finches and blackbirds vying with the robins, pheasants and grey squirrels for access to the seeds. In the woods, flocks of redwings, fieldfares and other thrushes are searching among the leafl litter for any tasty morsels. There have also been several sightings of a typical bird of snowy conditions, the woodcock.
Although much of the Scrape is frozen, there are open water patches on both East and South Scrapes, where the water is more salty. At least 11 smews have been there today, among good numbers of the common ducks. Waders have, predictably, mostly headed to the unfrozen stretches of nearby estuaries, but a few lapwings, dunlins and curlews remain. So, too, does Fiona. It seems very strange to be watching a flamingo wading along the edge of the ice, but she seems to be feeding well so let's hope she survives the cold.
With the cold weather, our flock of tundra bean geese has returned to the Levels, while the Bewick's swans move between Island Mere and their favoured field alongside the Westleton to Dunwich road, where they are feeding on sugar beet tops.
With the cold weather set to continue, Minsmere may remain a snowy winter wonderland for a few more days yet.
Fox, rabbit and muntjac tracks in the snow
I am looking forward to coming to Minsmere in the better weather.

Rather conveniently, the drawing pdf imports into Rhino (the NURBS modeling/drafting application I use) as curves, so I don't need to trace and redraw the dimensions.
I'm only using the inner curve from the camera back and the camera keep out guide, which recommends the distance from camera lens and flash hole to avoid vignetting or tinting your photos.

inI just cleaned up some surface rust and gunk from this nice little clamp I rescued from a rusted out toolbox I bought, then hit it with some oil to protect the surface.
Here's a look at the other side:
This being the internet and all, there is a webpage for people interested in the history of clamp companies. From this, the clampguy.info site, I present some history, including the fact that my clamp was designed by the grandfather of the author:
Hargrave brand of Cincinnati Tool Co
The Cincinnati Tool Company was founded in 1877. In 1925, it changed its name to the Hargrave Company, which continued until 1955.
The information below was provided through the kindness of John McCutcheon, of Grand Rapids, Michigan
A "circled H" on tools made by Cincinnati Tool Company signifies that it was designed by my grandfather, John M. Hargrave (1889-1975).
Edward Hollister Hargrave worked for Cincinnati Tool Co. in the late 1800′s. By 1911 or 1912, when he died, I think he was running the company.
John Morris Hargrave (his son) had just graduated from M.I.T., with a degree in Electrical Engineering. He was called home to take over the company. (I don't know if he owned the company or not at that time, but I am pretty certain that he did eventually. I believe he sold the company and retired sometime in the 1950′s.)
The company made a complete line of hand tools of all kinds, from bar, cee and wooden jaw clamps to cold chisels, star drills, etc.
Here is a drawing from Hargrave's Patent No. 1,918,469 which I found on the Directory of American Tool and Machinery Patents

The Churches of Christ salute you. 17But I beseech you, brethren, to observe those who stir up divisions and offences, contrary to the doctrine which ye have18 learnt, and to avoid them: for they, who are such, serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by courteous19 language and flattery deceive the hearts of the simple. Your obedience indeed has been published to all: I am therefore glad on your account; but I wish you to be wise for good, and20 simple for evil. And the God of peace shall shortly bruise Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Extract from London Quarterly Review. "The spirit of these writers is very reverent, their fidelity to the leading doctrines of the Cross generally unimpeachable, and, on the whole, we regard them as furnishing good ground for hope, that the Holy Spirit is raising up a body of expositors of His revelation in Germany, who will, before another generation is gone, have triumphed over and silenced the enemies of the faith. We think, too, we can discern evidence that He is gradually purging these defenders of the faith themselves from the taint of the old evil, which too many of them exhibited. Neander, Olshausen, Stier, display a progression, in simplicity of devotion, to the pure words of the Spirit, which is very manifest and very cheering. Between the first and the last there is a considerable interval in this respect, and the last leaves not much to be desired." (For Second Series see next page.) SECOND SERIES.
Four Vols., £2, 2s. "To students and ministers it furnishes copious material to help them in the better understanding of those portions of the Bible of which it treats, and if they will read it with close application of mind, and exercise at the same time their own independent thought, they cannot but read it with great benefit. The translator, who was a pupil of Hengstenberg, has well performed his office, which was in many respects not an easy one. He has clothed the criticisms and reasonings of his author in clear and fluent language, and admirably preserved the sense."—Evangelical Christendom. "It is a well-matured production of a great and learned man. It is thoroughly ripe in the spirit of Christian philosophy and true biblical scholarship."—Homilist. BAUMGARTEN'S APOSTOLIC HISTORY; being an account of the development of the early church in a commentary on the acts of the apostles. Three Vols., £1, 7s. The Eclectic Review, in an article on the original work, speaks of it thus:— "We have felt devoutly thankful to the great Head of the Church, who has raised up a champion able to meet, by an exposition of the Acts at once so profoundly scientific and so sublimely Christian as that before us, one of the most pressing wants of our times. We have not the smallest hesitation in expressing our modest conviction that in no previously uninspired portion of her history, has the Church of Christ possessed such means as are here afforded her, of gaining a true insight into the meaning of her own glorious archieves." "The work constitutes a profound, well digested, and erudite Commentary upon the Acts, in every page of which there is matter calculated to fix the attention, to guide inquiry, and to lead to sound conclusions."—British Banner. "Every minister should have this work, as indispensable to a clear and comprehensive exposition of the Acts of the Apostles."—Scottish Guardian. "The volumes before us are of inestimable value."—Clerical Journal. STIER ON THE WORDS OF THE LORD JESUS. Eight Volumes, £4, 4s. "One of the most precious books for the spiritual interpretation of the Gospels."—Archdeacon Hare. "Dr Stier brings to the exposition of our Lord's discourses sound learning, a vigorous understanding, and a quick discernment; but what is better, he brings also a devout mind, and a habit of thought spiritual and deferential to the truth."—Evangelical Christendom. "We know no work that contains, within anything like the same compass, so many pregnant instances of what true genius or chastened submission to the control of a sound philology, and gratefully accepting the seasonable and suitable helps of a wholesome erudition—is capable of doing in the spiritual exegesis of the sacred volume. Every page is fretted and studded with lines and forms of the most alluring beauty. At every step the reader is constrained to pause and ponder, lest he should overlook one or other of the many precious blossoms that, in the most dazzling profusion, are scatterad around his path. We venture to predict that his "Words of Jesus" are destined to produce a great and happy revolution in the interpretation of the New Testament in this country."—British and Foreign Evangelical Review. "We know of no exposition of the Gospels which can compare with this invaluable production. Dr Stier's Commentary on the Sermon on the Mount, for instance, is decidedly superior to either Tholuck or Olshausen's, which is saying a great deal. Let our readers procure the work, and after judging for themselves, we have no doubt they will coincide in our opinion, and be grateful to us for calling their attention to its very great merits."—Eclectic Review. "A book full of deep spiritual insight; and so thorough in its treatment that it would be difficult to say whether it were best adapted to the closet or the study. We have often had occasion to refer to it, and have never done so without reward."—The Christian Spectator. *∗* The publishers might multiply quotations from Reviews ofStierto a large extent, but the best testimony to the value of the work is the large sale it has commanded—a demand almost unprecedented for a book of its class. ULLMANN'S REFORMERS BEFORE THE REFORMATION, principally in germany and the netherlands. TRANSLATED BY REV. R. MENZIES. Two Vols. 8vo. £1, 1s. "A valuable contribution to the history of Christian dogmas, while at the same time it aids in retrieving from oblivion men whose action upon the popular mind at once transmitted its impulse to the Reformers, and prepared a congenial soil for their tilth."—North American Quarterly Review. "We hail this accession to our theological literature with unfeigned satisfaction."—British and Foreign Evangelical Review. "A most interesting and valuable book. We can honestly repeat all the commendations we formerly so freely bestowed on the author's conscientious painstaking in amassing materials of the most recherche and recondite description from quarters known only to learning like his own, as well as upon his skill in their arrangement, and the descriptive talent with which he has availed himself of them, and combined them into lifelike and individualised verae effegies of the men. The charm of his fine biographical history of the two important centuries immediately preceding the reformation continues, we are bound to say, unbroken to the end; or rather, we ought to say, now that we are enabled to contemplate his works as an artistic whole, that nothing but such a comprehensive study of its exquisite proportions of light and shade, warm and cold colours, background, foreground, its grouping of characters, and other matters which go to make up a tout ensemble, renders it possible to do anything like justice to its rare and manifold beauties. We may safely predict that the number of Dr Ullmann's English admirers will be greatly augmented by this appearance in our language of the opus magnum of his life, the ripest print of all his varied studies and acquirements, his Reformers before the Reformation."—Eclectic Review. KEIL'S COMMENTARY ON THE BOOK OF JOSHUA. 10s. 6d. "We recommend this work to the notice of all who engage in the criticism of the Old Testament. They will find much valuable matter in it. The commentary is chiefly critical and exegetical; and contains much which is very useful."—Clerical Journal. "We are glad to see this learned exposition of the important history of Joshua."—Evangelical Magazine. KEIL AND BERTHEAU ON KINGS AND CHRONICLES. Two Volumes £1, 1s. "These volumes are a valuable accession to our stock of Old Testament expositors. Dr Keil's work on the two Books of Kings is distinguished by sound and varied learning, and is preceded by brief disquisitions on the name, contents, and scope of the books, their age and author, and their sources and credibility."—Evangelical Christendom. "We close our remarks with repeating, that we have found these works instructive, suggestive, very interesting, and well fitted to excite those emotions which become us when we contemplate the dealings of God with the Church of old."—Clerical Journal. The following is the order of publication:— 1st Year (1854). Hengstenberg's Christology, Vol. 1. Baumgarten, 3 Vols. 2d Year (1855). Ullmann, 2 Vols. Stier, Vols. 1 and 2. 3d Year (1856). Hengstenberg, Vol. 2. Stier, Vols. 3, 4, 5. 4th Year (1857). Stier, Vol. 6. Keil on Joshua, Keil and Bertheau on Kings and Chronicles, 2 Vols. 5th Year (1858). Stier Vols. 7 and 8. Hengstenberg's Christology, Vols. 3 and 4. The volumes for 1859 will be, Kurtz on the History of the Old Covenant, in three volumes, and Stier on the Words of the Lord Jesus after His Resurrection, and on James and Jude. N.B.—The Books for a single year cannot be had separately. Subscribers' names received by all Booksellers; (for Nonsubscribers only.) Hamilton, Adams, and Co., London. Now ready, Vol. I., price 7s. 6d. To be completed in Two Volumes, demy 8vo, A GRAMMAR OF THE NEW TESTAMENT DICTION: INTENDED AS AN INTRODUCTION TO THE CRITICAL STUDY OF THE GREEK NEW TESTAMENT, BY DR GEORGE BENEDICT WINER. Translated from the Sixth Enlarged and Improved Edition of the Original, BY EDWARD MASSON, M.A.,formerly professor in the university of athens. The Publishers have great pleasure in inviting attention to this most important work. From many of the most eminent Professors in the United Kingdom they have received communications, expressing gratification at the publication of "Winer's Grammar;" and they take the liberty of appending a few extracts:— I. "The translation of 'Winer's Grammar' will, I am convinced, constitute an era in the Biblical Criticism of this country. It will dissipate those groundless fears as to the influence of Sacred Philology on the Christian faith, which the sad extravagances of our German brethren have tended to foster amongst alarmists; and it will serve to show that Learning and Faith are not antagonists, but can cordially 'kiss each other,' and that in this day, as formerly, the genuine scholar is the most likely to become and continue a sound practical Christian. The translation appears to be admirably executed." II. "This is indeed a valuable publication; I rejoice at its being made at last accessible, as I am in the habit of recommending it annually to my Greek class." III. "I shall have pleasure in recommending your beautiful and apparently very accurate edition of 'Winer.' " IV. "From the hasty glance I have taken of it, I should think it was very well done in all ways." V. "The work appears to be extremely well executed." VI. "This translation of Winer's very valuable Grammar is extremely well timed; and, I doubt not, will be used in Cambridge by theological students, who are an increasing class in the University." VII. "I have no doubt that I will find it very useful in my lectures." VIII. It is a subject of sincere pleasure to all critics of the sacred text, that this elaborate and exhaustive treatise is at length in a fair way of becoming familiar to England as it has long been to Germany; I shall have great pleasure in commending it to my divinity class." IX. "I have opened it in a few places, and find that, judging from them, it appears to be done with great care. I have a large theological class, to which I shall have much pleasure in strongly recommending it." X. "Having often had occasion to recommend to students the original work, or the old and very unsatisfactory translation, I shall have much greater confidence in recommending your publication, so carefully superintended by Professor Masson." *∗* The Publishers will have pleasure in forwarding a specimen on application. BENGEL'S GNOMON OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. Messrs Clark are happy to announce the completion of the Translation of "Bengel." The difficulty of the translation, the great additions in the way of Notes by the Editor and Translators (Rev. James Bandinel of Wadham College, Oxford; Rev. James Bryce, LL.D.; Rev. William Fletcher, D.D., Wimborne; and Rev. A. R. Fausset), greatly increasing the value of the book, and their extreme desire that the work should be, in all respects, as perfect as possible, must be their excuse for the delay in publishing. They trust, however, that the result will prove that "Bengel" can be translated into English, and that in a thorough and scholar-like manner, retaining, as far as is practicable, the critical unity of the original. The Translation is comprised in Five Volumes Octavo, of (on an average) fully 550 pages each. Subscription, 31s. 6d., payable in advance, or free by post, 35s. *∗* The great outlay incurred by the Publishers from the nature of the work, and from their desire to make it, in every respect, as perfect, complete, and accurate as possible, would have justified a subscription price of double a guinea and a half, and it is only by a very large demand that they can ever hope to be remunerated. It is requested that the Subscriptions may be remitted as early as possible. The whole work is issued under the Editorship of the Rev. Andrew R. Fausset, M.A., late University and Queen's Scholar, and Senior Classical and Gold Medalist, T.C.D., Editor of Homer's Iliad, Livy, and Terence, Rector of St Cuthberts, York. For the convenience of such as may wish only a portion of the Commentary, the volumes are sold separately at 8s. 6d. each (except Vol. II., 10s. 6d.) Vol. I., Introduction, Matthew, Mark; Vol. II., Luke, John, Acts; Vol. III., Romans, Corinthians; Vol. IV., Galatians to Hebrews; Vol. V., James to the end. British and Foreign Evangelical Review, April 1858. "We are heartily glad that this important work, of an English Translation of Bengel's 'Gnomon,' has not only been fairly started, but has been successfully completed. Bengel's 'Gnomon' has always been held in the highest estimation by all competent judges, as presenting a very remarkable, probably unexampled, combination of learning, sagacity, critical tact, evangelical unction, and terseness and condensation of style. Its growing popularity in Germany is, like the popularity of Calvin's Commentary on the New Testament, as edited by Tholuck, one of the very best signs of the times. . . . The enterprising Publishers have secured, for this purpose, the services of several accomplished and thoroughly qualified scholars. Mr Fausset, of Trinity College, Dublin, acts as general Editor and Superintendent, and undertakes the translation of the Commentary upon the Gospels of Mark, Luke, John, and Acts of the Apostles. The Rev. James Bandinel of Wadham College, Oxford, has translated Bengel's General Preface, and his Commentary upon Matthew's Gospel. The Rev. Dr James Bryce, late of Aberdeen, has translated the portion upon the Epistles to the Romans and Corinthians, and has undertaken the rest of Paul's Epistles. The Rev. Dr Fletcher of Wimborne, has executed the translation of the remainder of the work, on the Catholic Epistles, and the Apocalypse." Electic Review, November 1857. "There are few devout students of the Bible who have not long held Bengel in the highest estimation, nay, revered and loved him. It was not, however, without some apprehension for his reputation with English readers that we saw the announcement of a translation of his work. We feared that his sentences, terse and condensed as they are, would necessarily lose much of their pointedness and force by being clothed in another garb. But we confess, gladly, to a surprise at the success the translators have achieved in preserving so much of the spirit of the original. We are bound to say that this first instalment is executed in the most scholar-like and able manner. The translation has the merit of being faithful and perspicuous. Its publication will, we are confident, do much to bring back readers to the devout study of the Bible, and at the same time prove one of the most valuable of exegetical aids. The 'getting up' of those volumes, combined with their marvellous cheapness, cannot fail, we should hope, to command for them a large sale." Church of England Monthly Review, November 1857. "This translation is particularly good, characterised by accuracy and strength, and enriched, moreover, with many valuable original notes by the translators. We earnestly recommend it to all our readers as one of the very best commentaries on the New Testament Scriptures." Christian Witness, November 1857. "This work is of great critical importance, fully sustaining the merited celebrity of its learned author. It is a book for the Christian student for the ministry, for the Christian pastor, and for the laborious inquirer into the mind of God in Sacred Scripture." Methodist New Connection Magazine. "The translation of the 'Gnomon' into English will be hailed as a common boon to the careful student of Holy Scripture. In this noble work, which is beautifully got up, the publishers have laid all denominations of Christians under a deep obligation, and we hope their spirited effort, made at great expense to themselves, will be duly appreciated and amply rewarded by an extensive sale of these most valuable and important volumes." In Crown 8vo, price 4s. 6d., LIGHT FROM THE CROSS: SERMONS ON THE PASSION OF THE SAVIOUR. By Dr A. THOLUCK of Halle. "With no ordinary confidence and pleasure we commend these most noble, solemnising, and touching discourses."—British and Foreign Evangelical Review. "Dr Tholuck's sermons are not common-place spoken essays, but carefully considered expositions of the operations of Divine grace in the human heart, being instructive and comforting to those who are accustomed, in any strict way, to review their inner life, and look to their crucified Lord as the fount of all heavenly influences."—Literary Churchman. CALVIN'S LETTERS. Messrs Clark beg to intimate that they have purchased the remaining Stock of THE LETTERS OF JOHN CALVIN. Compiled from the Original Manuscripts and Edited, with Historical Notes, By Dr JULES BONET, and Translated from the Latin and French Languages By DAVID CONSTABLE. In Two Volumes, demy 8vo. They offer this valuable collection for 12s. 6d. (or 14s. sent post free), which may be remitted by Post Office Order. As only 100 Copies remain, early application will be necessary. Crown 8vo, Fourth Edition, 7s. 6d., REV. DR DAVID BROWN'S CHRIST'S SECOND COMING; WILL IT BE PREMILLENNIAL? "This is, in our judgment, one of the most able, comprehensive, and conclusive of the numerous works which the millenarian controversy has called forth. His argument has been very carefully prepared, and is characterised, not only by acuteness in detecting the weak points of the opposing theory, but also by candour in honestly meeting and grappling with the points in which its strength lies. We do not know any single volume which contains so full and satisfactory a digest of the reasonings and interpretations by which the advocates of the side of the question on which Mr Brown has arrayed himself, are accustomed to defend their position."—Watchman. In a large Volume, Royal 8vo, price 10s. 6d., THEOLOGICAL ESSAYS; REPRINTED FROM THE "PRINCETON REVIEW." FIRST SERIES. The Publishers believe that, in reprinting the First Series of the "Princeton Essays" in so cheap and handsome a form, they are conferring a great boon on all who take an interest in Theological learning. The volume has been long out of print, and has brought a high price when it could be met with. The interesting and varied nature of the work will be best seen by the contents, which are as follows:— Essay I. The Rule of Faith.—II. The Sonship of Christ.—III. The Decrees of God.—IV. The Early History of Pelagianism.—V. Original Sin.—VI., VII., VIII. The Doctrine of Imputation.—IX. Melancthon on the Nature of Sin.—X. Doctrines of the Early Socinians.—XI. The Power of Contrary Choice.—XII. The Inability of Sinners.—XIII. The New Divinity Tried.—XIV. Beman on the Atonement.—XV. Sacerdotal Absolution.—XVI. Regeneration.—XVII. Sanctification.—XVIII. Transubstantiation.—XIX. Sabbath Observance.—XX. Bodily Effects of Religious Excitement.—XXI. Tholuck's History of Theology.—XXII. Trancendentalism.—XXIII. Cause and Effect. In crown 8vo, price 6s. cloth. ILLUSTRATIONS, EXPOSITORY AND PRACTICAL of theFAREWELL DISCOURSE OF JESUS; BEING A SERIES OF LECTURES ON THE FOURTEENTH, FIFTEENTH, AND SIXTEENTH CHAPTERS OF THE GOSPEL OF ST JOHN. By the late Rev. JOHN B. PATTERSON, M.A., Minister of Falkirk. "There is a sweet and elevating tone of piety running through these discourses, which will make them acceptable and useful."—American Presbyterian. "We know few volumes of like character that may be read with more of untiring zest."—Warder. In demy 8vo, price 9s. cloth. THE ESSENTIALS OF PHILOSOPHY, Wherein its Constituent Principles are traced throughout the various Department of Science: WITH ANALYTICAL STRICTURES ON THE VIEWS OF SOME OF OUR LEADING PHILOSOPHERS. BY THE REV. GEORGE JAMIESON, M.A.,one of the ministers of the parish of old machar, aberdeen. "If Mr Jamieson has not done all he hoped, he has yet done much. The surefootedness of his philosophy, ever schooling itself in facts, and proceeding with cautious step from the known to the unknown, the tenacity of his faith in the universality of the great laws by which God governs the world as the basis of all science, and the evolution and application of his doctrine of casuality, furnish admirable examples for imitation. As the champion of the school of Locke and Reid, he has cleared the ground which they occupied of its encumbrances; and, pushing their philosophy forward, presents an advanced front far within the lines of error. The grandeur of his generalisations, and the dauntless courage and success of his attacks, will compel attention to the book."—North British Review, Feb. 1859. Crown 8vo, price 3s. cloth, THE PRIMEVAL WORLD: A Treatise on the Relations of Geology to Theology. BY THE REV. PATON J. GLOAG, Author of a "Treatise on the Assurance of Salvation," and a "Treatise on Justification by Faith." "A very able and cautious volume. We can only cordially recommend it to those of our readers who take an interest in this class of subjects, and who wish to attain in a small compass and a very readable form, a fair account of the present state of geological inquiry, in its relations to the interpretation of Scripture."—Ecclesiastic. "We recommend the 'Primeval World' to every student of the Bible, as the most lucid, complete, and popular work on the subject."—Perth Courier. "Mr Gloag deserves great commendation for the very cautious and candid tone which everywhere pervades his book."—Courant. "We know no book of its size which more concentrates all that is worth knowing in the Science."—Scottish Press. "The publication, is, in all parts, masterly, and in general stamped with a satisfactory character."—British Standard. In Fscp. 8vo. price 4s. 6d., COMMENTARIES, EXPOSITORY AND PRACTICAL, On First Epistle to Thessalonians, James, and First John. BY REV. ALEXANDER S. PATTERSON, D.D., GLASGOW. "Dr Patterson has endeavoured to give permanence to the more important points in his congregational lectures on the books named in his title-page. Many good people, who want a practical rather than a scholarly commentary, will read Dr Patterson's book with interest and profit."—Eclectic Review. In Crown 8vo, price 3s. 6d. cloth, EVANGELICAL MEDITATIONS. BY THE LATE ALEXANDER VINET, D.D., professor of theology in lausanne, switzerland. "The Chalmers of Switzerland."—D'Aubigne. CONTENTS. I.

Christ's Union with the Church the Image and Model of Marriage. XIII. Aquila and Priscilla. XIV. The Waters of Bethesda. "The name of Alexander Vinet is a guarantee that this is a good book, and that of Masson is security for the excellence of the translation. We have read the volume with the deepest interest."—Baptist Magazine. "They are earnest and practical appeals to the conscience on matters of vital importance to professing Christians."—Clerical Journal. "The work before us is one which will be most highly prized by the spiritually-minded and single-hearted Christian."—Patriot. "It is quite worthy of its distinguished author, and contains a great deal of edifying matter, presented in a very beautiful and striking way."—British and Foreign Evangelical Review. In Crown 8vo, price 5s. cloth. THE SINLESSNESS OF JESUS: AN EVIDENCE FOR CHRISTIANITY. BY DR CARL ULLMANN, Author of "Reformers before the Reformation, principally in Germany and the Netherlands." Translated from the Sixth German Edition by REV. ROBERT L. BROWN. "We welcome it in English as one of the most beautiful productions of Germany, as not only readable for an English public, but as possessing, along with not a few defects, many distinguished excellencies. . . . . We warmly recommend this beautiful work as eminently fitted to diffuse, among those who peruse it, a higher appreciation of the sinlessness and moral eminence of Christ. The work has been blessed already; and may have its use also to an English public. The translation is happy, and a correct rendering of the thought, though occasionally free."—British and Foreign Evangelical Review. "The volume will be welcomed by the Churches of England, seeing the subject has nowhere been discussed at the same length, with the same depth and ability."—British Standard. "A work of great power and beauty, presenting the glorious fact in a variety of lights, alike original and impressive. We have not received from Germany for a considerable time a book so abounding in spiritual excellence."—Christian Witness. "This is a very remarkable volume, displaying a wonderful power of analysis and closeness of argument. The whole subject is discussed in the most comprehensive manner in this masterly work."—Presbyterian Banner.

"We hold it in high estimation; shall turn to it as an authority on all points connected with the Reformation in Switzerland, and predict that posterity will consider it not the least interesting account of one of the most eventful periods in the world's history."—Wesleyan Times, May 17, 1858. "It is by far the best piece of continental biography that has reached us for a long time. Although a book specially suited to clergymen and ministers, it may be read with the utmost advantage by all classes."—Christian Witness. "The translation is admirably and intelligently done."—Monthly Register. "We cordially commend the work as substantial and most instructive, and as worthy of a place in the libraries of all interested in the study of the Reformation times and workers."—Scottish Guardian. "This book is undoubtedly one of the most valuable of Messrs Clark's publications."—British Quarterly Review. |

in response to rom12921:
I'm curious why the people writing these checks are never questioned. I would think those who collect and disburse tax dollars would due some due dilligence and have some culpability in these situations.
I have a hard time blaming a vendor. Of course the vendor will try to charge as much as possible. That does not mean the government agent/ agency has to pay it. It's up to the government agent/ agency to decide what is reasonable. I would support the check writers having a fiduciary responsibility for tax dollars and subject to criminal charges for not fulfilling the obligation to get the best deal.
Two factors
1. No bid contracts.....political maneuvering. Government purchasing agent being told who to award contracts too.
2. Corrupt government employee purchasing agent dealing with corrupt vendor. Kickbacks.
