MADE IN THE U.S.A! I can't say enough about these socket racks I just love them. I have 4 of them, one for metric one for metric deep one for standard and one for standard deep. Keeps all sockets in place even if I drop it. It has a hole in the top so I can attach it to my workbench. Well worth the money and great price for under $10! Lastly they are covered by Craftsmans Forever warranty! Talk about peice of mind.
I find that so far the sockets will stay on the clips even when carrying the rack around. But it's probable that the clips will compress over time and the sockets will fall off. This wouldn't be so bad except that it is a real pain to get new clips onto the rail (I bent a rail trying to get the clips in over the rail). Good deal when on sale for those of you who like this style; personally, I find the Hansons worth the extra money, if only because the trays are pre-organized.

I have over eight of these, but only because they're cheaper and less bulky than other options. I think they work too good (can't get the socket off without a fight) or not good enough (socket keeps falling off from over use). I've been using different ones for 20 plus years and I don't believe I'll change now, but they could be better.

The metal socket clips don't move smoothly back and forth on the metal rails. They take a little more time to put the sockets back. They don't keep the sockets in place 100% because the clips are not square drive lugs, and they're out of shape easliy. I think I will need to buy new metal clips from time to time. This means that the cost will be much more in the long run, compared to the plastic version. If I could go back, I would get the plastic socket racks with plastic studs.

Sockets are difficult to mount to the rack at first. After use they become easier. Sockets do not fall off when you pick the racks up like cheaper racks do. They are the only racks I use.

Nice way to keep my Sockets where I can find them

Good grip on sockets. Convenient handle & holes for hanging. Will buy more.

The socket holders are inexpensive, but you get what you pay for. The clips that hold the sockets in either don't hold the sockets very well or are so tight you bend them trying to get the socket on. There is probably a better option out there.

A -- to the Sierra Club which in this week for the first time in -- 120 year history.
Officially engaged in an act of Civil Disobedience.
Protesting the Keystone Pipeline in front of the White House and getting.
Two of its top members arrested.
You know there was -- time Paul when the Sierra Club actually was a thoughtful contributor to the debate.
Over conservation a public lands that they have these days adopted in environmentalists and that is so extreme.
And so militant that there is not even any room and -- for the private development of the economy and jobs I think the original founders of the Sierra Club would be up all.
I can change.
Big miss to the International Olympic Committee Paul for dropping the glass ceiling -- -- that this is the -- here about the millennium.

The iPad on its own is very cool, but the sound is just sort of hollow and maybe even a little tinny. The Thunderstorm gives it life—and yes, it actually turns the iPad into a little home theater. I got to test out a variety of musical genres, movie clips and even games. The system could really crank the iPad's volume, all without getting distorted. Music was detailed and just really fun to crank up.
It's important to note that some audio sounded better than others, but that's just the nature of the web. A lot of YouTube clips won't sound as good as the stuff from iTunes. Then again, if you do a little searching, you'll find a lot of content to get the Thunderstorm rumbling. I checked out trailers from Iron Man 3 and The Amazing Spider-Man, as well as the melee of "Hero's Duty" from Wreck It Ralph, the bank robbery from The Dark Knight, and the lobby shoot-'em-up from The Matrix. Some of them, I had to actually turn down. They were really loud, but never distorted. Good luck getting that out of a stand-alone iPad or other add-on speakers at this price point, let alone ones that you can stuff into a backpack.
Another nice perk is that this system doesn't technically have to be plugged in. The Thunderstorm has its own internal battery, which can power the iPad when you're in a car, on a plane, or in the backyard.
Like most iOS devices, Belkin has a companion app for the Thunderstorm, simply called Thunder. Designed in conjunction Audifi, this free app allows you to tweak some of the sound that's projecting from the Thunderstorm. Basically, it has three modes. Normal is designed for music and web content, Wide is made for movies, and Super Wide opens things up for the ultimate gaming experience. In all honestly, I found the best results with the Super Wide setting. Some of those aforementioned hollow-sounding tracks will probably do better on the Normal setting. For the most part, however, I liked rocking out with the wider setting.
The $200 price tag and the bulk that this device adds to your iPad may be an initial turnoff. However, you don't want to shield yourself from this Thunderstorm. It's a nifty little add-on that can rock your iPad at home and on the go.

Lazy Dogs
HOWE abHOWET these dog lovers:
lyinglynn writes to a new foster care giver: For barking in the crate - leave the leash on and pass it through the crate door. Attach a line to it. When he barks, use the line for a correction. - if necessary, go to a citronella bark collar. Lynn K. "Many People Have Problems Getting The Pinch Right, Either They Do Not Pinch Enough, Or They Have A Very Stoic Dog. Some Dogs Will Collapse Into A Heap. About The Ear Pinch: You Must Keep The Pressure Up," sindy "don't let the dog SCREAM" mooreon, author of HOWER FAQ's pages on k9 web. You think HURTING a HUNTING DOG to MAKE IT HUNT is NECESSARY??? I'll be you've never had to put down litters of beautiful labrador puppies? If you had did, maybe you'd be singing a different tune? "Actually, have held them for the tech to euth, and put their bodies in the trash bag and in the freezer for the trash company to come and dispose of. No different tune," ~Emily "I'll bet you don't know a thing about me. I volunteered as assistant to the euthanasia tech at our local shelter for a while, and I know a bit about overpopulation and unwanted animals. This however has nothing at all to do with responsible breeders, because responsible breeders don't contribute to that problem," Mustang Sally. Are those MENTAL CASES, or NOT? Better report to Soup and update your MENTAL ILLNESS status. The Puppy Wizard wouldn't wanna push you over the goddamned edge and see you HURT YOURSELF from EMBARRASSMENT. Here's MOORE: RPD* Mentally Ill AllStaRz as of 7/4/03 ----------------------------------------------- MENTAL ILLNESS IN RPD* Mental illness is a public issue in these newsgroups. People are always running around calling other people mentally ill and diagnosing their illnesses. I think it's only fair that we have an accurate list of who is and who isn't mentally ill, so that we can avoid any misunderstandings and promote group harmony. Updated list as of 7/04/2003: list of confirmed or suspected mentally ill (crazy) Regulars Most of whom are women or homo***uals ======================================= MaryBeth MVP (most valuable psycho) (super psycho bitch lunatic queen of the mentally ****ed in the head Has contributed greatly to the annual profit results at several large pharmaceutical corps has taken virtually every mentally ill (crazy) drug treatment in the book, and then some: prozac, zoloft, amitryptiline, Buspar, Xanax, effexor, paxil, HRT, wellbutrin, tranquilizers, clomid, has suffered from or been: suicidal, agoraphobic, tidal waves of PMS, mood swings, turned into a hermit, bloated, just real angry, hubby afraid of her, high blood pressure, divorced, "raving bitch" "zoloft zombie" for four years, "living through layers and layers of gauze," chain smoker, buzzing, weight gain, fatigue, terrible dry mouth, dull headaches, fuzzy brain, lack of concentration..etc. severe depression, severe insomnia, Panic ALL the time, crying, not sleeping, you name it...etc... MaryBeth (on being seriously f'd in the head aka mentally ill) aka cuckoo! kuckoo! ding! ding! ding! aka a superpsychotic bitch from hell "I know for a fact I went thru years of being overly sensitive, being a b*tch, being self centered, being self pitying, you name it, I was a wreck and I ran over everyone in my path." "<G> I do know the power of meds, especially on a long term basis, and it's not pretty. You become another person, if it's not the correct med for you. --All the best, MaryBeth "Yup Diane, I am taking Zoloft, and my Rheumatologist told me that taking Ultram with it can cause seizures." "I have all the symptoms.I am suicidal at times (cyclical) have severe insomnia, 'crawly' skin etc. I have an appt to see my doc next Friday to test for menopause." --MaryBeth "I noticed that antidepressants cut libido into the dead zone and I had no real emotions, like not laughing at funny stuff, couldn't cry either.....except about my suicidal thoughts (but at the time I thought there was no other way out)." --MaryBeth "Hi, new to group, just starting Clomid today. I talked with RE and pharmacist re: zoloft (50 mg daily) and ineraction with Clomid. They reported none. Not sure about the prozac tho. Gonna poat a new message to intorduce myself " --MaryBeth <still feeling like herself> <G> "I wasted about 10 years of my life, and lost many many treasured ppl and things. Please don't do the same. (((((((SCOUT)))))))))) --MaryBeth "Slowly but surely my depression got worse and worse. They put me on meds for it, and all along kept telling me to wait on the TKR, as 'it really wasn't that bad.....yet". HA!" The depression got so bad, and lots of other things happened and my ex and I would up divorced four years after our move. It was horrible. The hardest thing I have ever gone thru" --MaryBeth Theresa Willis (paxil, depression, robot displacement) shelly couvrette OCD, depression, drugs to be named later (familial mental illness, possibly related to family bed) obsessively starves her dogs according to friends, family, strangers and 3 different vets, but not herself lynn kosmakos (Lithium, Zoloft, bipolar, manic, depression) will "put down a biter as fast as anyone" yet claims to be a saintly dog rescuer Leah Effexor for chronic depression, in denial about being mentally ill. Has taken several other mentally ill medications before settling on effexor for her chronic mental problems Tara Green was on antidepressants for a few years prior to her marriage. During her marriage, she learned a lot: "With the therapist I saw during my marriage I learned that some situational depressions are masked as chemical simply because of our too human ability to prolong the impact of the causal situations indefinitely" Sounds like more denial, see leah Tara is also a drunk who has also had problems with other substances TARA on being a drunk/substance abuser: "Tara (who had some problems with quite a few substances as well, but who thinks they are separate issues.....so which camp does that put me in???)" "Believe it or not, some people don't have a problem with drugs even though they are alcoholics. I'm not one of those people, but they do exist." aka, tara has problems with both Kevin Michael Vail various mental illness drugs, started with zoloft, didn't like that, then went to antidepressant, stopped after sufficent side effects, now on SSRI and in therapy Furpaw (SSRI, cognitive therapy) Chris Jung (Prozac and Welbutrin, cognitive therapy) Charlie Wilkes drugged out, crazy, ****ed up all his life, Christ the shit he's been through including psych wards and electroshock treatments but now pulling down major cash as a business consultant. Triumphing over adversity, with a damn good life and a well trained dog (very much unlike Leah) Karen DuChateaux aka Karibear suffered from clinical depression for years until some drug or something brought her out of it. Some of her best friends "are certifiable" and have various degrees of psychoses. Familial mental disability. Refuses to say whether or not she is currently using drug or cognitive therapy for mental illness.

Threatened to bring his platoon to Jerry's HOWSE. also OCD (obsessed with Jerry's posts) Jim Sabatke Jim is currently on Effexor which he takes because of his depression/mental problems. Like many of our mental cases, Jim has had trouble finding the right med(s) to keep him from going kuckoo!! kuckoooo!!! or getting the "brain shivers" From: Jim Sabatke (email@example.com) Subject: Re: anyone using Effexor? alt.support.depression.medication Date: 2002-11-29 20:25:16 PST EFFEXOR "I'm on 375 mg/day and it has worked wonders for me. The only down side is that my blood pressure has elevated somewhat; oh and if I miss a dose by a couple of hours the "brain shivers" can be really bad. Good luck! Jim" "I switched from Paxil to Effexor about 5 months ago. I tapered off of the Paxil and tapered onto the Effexor at the same time." Jim "After several years on Effexor IR, my pdoc tried switching me to XR. I experienced fairly severe Effexor withdrawel until I went back to the IR." Jim <YOUR NAME GOES HERE> (please proudly add your name and the drugs/disorders specific to you, if you are also mentally ill). If we all come forward, we can help each other with our problems. Remember, mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of. It's not your fault if you have a defective brain which may cause you to act like an extreme hypocrite and/or idiot and/or robot without your being aware of it). Also, please notify us if you are *not* mentally ill, and have been added to this by mistake, so we can make our corrections and remove you from the crazy person list. -- mental health weekly =========================================== Can you tell the TRUTH from a LIE?: And then we got, matty!

CHUCK IT Under ITS Chin With That Ever Ready Right Hand, As it catches on, try using the stick and no ear pinch. When the dog is digging out to beat the stick and seems totally reliable without any ear pinch, you are finished This is continued resistance to your increasing authority, and the job is not done until it is overcome" If the dog drops it, chuck it solidly under the chin, say "No!

Hanging "First, the trainer makes certain that the collar and leash are more than adequate for any jerk or strain that the dog's most frantic actions could cause. Then he starts to work the dog deliberately and fairly to the point where the dog makes his grab. Before the teeth have reached their target, the dog, weight permitting, is jerked from the ground. As in coping with some of the afore-mentioned problems the dog is suspended in mid-air. However, to let the biting dog recover his footing while he still had the strength to renew the attack would be cruelty. The only justifiable course is to hold him suspended until he has neither the strength nor inclination to renew the fight. When finally it is obvious that he is physically incapable of expressing his resentment and is lowered to the ground, he will probably stagger loop-legged for a few steps, vomit once or twice, and roll over on his side. The sight of a dog lying, thick-tongued, on his side, is not pleasant, but do not let it alarm you THE REAL "HOOD" "If your dog is a real "hood" who would regard the foregoing types of protest as "kid stuff" and would express his resentment of your efforts by biting, your problem is difficult -- and pressing. "Professional trainers often get these extreme problems. Nearly always the "protest biter" is the handiwork of a person who, by avoiding situations that the dog might resent, has nurtured the seeds of rebellion and then cultivated the resultant growth with under correction. When these people reap their inevitable and oftentimes painful harvest, they are ready to avail themselves of "the cruel trainer" whose advice they may have once rejected because it was incompatible with the sugary droolings of mealy- mouthed columnists, breed-ring biddies, and dog psychologists who, by the broken skins and broken hearts their misinformation causes, can be proven guilty of the greatest act of cruelty to animals since the dawn of time. "With more genuine compassion for the biting dog than would ever be demonstrated by those who are "too kind" to make a correction and certainly with more disregard for his safety, the professional trainer morally feels obligated to perform a "major operation." "Since we are presently concerned with the dog that bites in resentment of the demands of training, we will set our example in that situation. (In a later chapter we will deal with the with the much easier problem of the dog that bites someone other than his master." Are we havin FUN yet? Got a lite, professor SCRUFF SHAKE? The Puppy Wizard. <} : ~ ) > |

Queen gets Galaxy Note 10.1, not iPad, for Royal Collection
The Royal Collection is getting its first tablet.
Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1 was chosen as the Royal Collection's tablet by the Royal Commonwealth Society charity, the BBC is reporting today. The organization considered going with the iPad, but instead chose Samsung's device.

The Galaxy Note 10.1 is the device that will house Queen Elizabeth II's "digital time capsule." According to the BBC, people from … Read more

Member Oorahs!
Colonel Ford, I have to pass this on because I'm in shock that I was able to Connect (on the first Ring), Chat and concluded my business with "Sharon" in less than 30 seconds, at the MCA-Office. I was taken by surprise. Why, I'm Not used to anyone answering the phone especially on the first ring. AND...a human being...a lovely lady with a disarming voice, which at first I thought was a recording. WOW! I commend THE MCA for doing such an outstanding service for its members...make me proud. Just think...I was not asked "if I knew my parties Extension."?
Wish I had a Blog...I would spread around how delighted I am. What transpired to me today is Rare, just doesn't happen anymore. See, I'm so impressed I'm blitzing you here.
Thank you so much for taking the extra time and making the extra effort
to ship another hat to me for my husband last week. The second hat
arrived last Thursday... and he was tickled with it. Although it may be
"only a hat" it is a very special hat in many ways. He will always be a
proud Marine dad, and your kindness is very much appreciated.
I received the shipment of plaques, books and certificates today for
mail call. It was more exciting to me than candy or magazines! Thank
you very much.
Semper Fi,
I received my blouse last Friday and want to thank you for your efforts
in getting things done. Also, please thank the tailors involved in
making everything right and please give my sincere thanks to those who
made the decision to make the necessary corrections at no charge to me.
That in itself says a lot about your organization. The blouse fits
like a glove and actually looks and feels like new.
Thank you and all the staff who had a hand in correcting a problem and making an old man happy. Semper Fi
Just a quick note of thanks to Patty Everett. I arrived home from a week vacation to find a package from the Marine Corps Association. I was expecting to find one of the magazines I requested, however, I was pleasantly surprised to discover both magazines were inside. In a time when it seems no one cares about customer satisfaction I am gratified to discover that customer service is not a lost art at the MCA. Once again I thank you for your efforts on my request. It may have been thing but the effort made a huge impression.
Just wanted to let you know that I got the sword yesterday with time to spare. It showed up unscathed due to the excellent packing job despite the rough postal process. And most importantly it looks great and the Bahraini's couldn't be happier! Thanks again for all of your assistance.

My Name is Sergeant Major Juan. M. Hidalgo, Sergeant Major of the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) out of Camp Pendleton, CA. Sergeant Major (Ret.) Frank Pulley is one of my mentors and is someone that I have a tremendous amount of respect for. The MCA and SgtMaj Pulley do a phenomenal job in helping us recognize our Marines and Sailors and they continually demonstrate that they are always more than ready to support; anytime...Anyplace! And on behalf of the entire 13th MEU, I thank you very much!
You have been the easiest person I have ever dealt with since I have started MWR out here. You were very quick to respond to my every question and very knowledgeable about your work for an order over a phone that was my greatest experience. If you were in the Marine Corps Skylar I would write you up for a meritorious promotion. I will surely write it in my books to pass the word to the next MWR rep to continue the membership with you guys.
Sgt Richard Colmenarez
I wanted to take a moment and thank everyone at the association for sponsoring the Ground Awards Dinner on 3 June at the Crystal City Marriott. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and were tremendously pleased with the hospitality shown to us and the great accommodations. As well, I wanted to thank the association for the DVD of the event that was mailed to me. It is something that I will keep and treasure for the rest of my days. Again, thanks for everything.
Semper Fidelis!
I received my Dress Blues I ordered from The Marine
Shop in the mail today. And I just wanted to write and tell everyone there
that you all did a great job! Everyone from the tailors, to the customer
service reps. I am highly impressed with the quality and tailoring of your
uniforms. I will definitely keep coming back to The Marine Shop in the
future for uniforms!

En español | When you want to get away from it all, what better place to do so than on a quiet beach? The wind in your hair and the surf at your feet feel like your own private pleasures when there are few other souls in sight. Check out these five secluded beaches that make for a peaceful summer getaway.
Discover all the real possibilities AARP has to offer during Life@50+ in Boston.
1. Padre Island National Seashore, Texas
Home of the longest stretch of undeveloped barrier island in the world, Padre Island National Seashore is just the spot to escape the crowds. Beyond its sand and sun, the park is also known for the super-salty Laguna Madre, its population of endangered Kemp's ridley sea turtles and its offshore shipwrecks — some Spanish and dating back more than 500 years.
2. Ozette Beach, Wash.
Lace up your boots and take a 3-mile hike from the end of the road at Ozette Lake, and you'll find yourself on a rugged and wild beach that's part of Olympic National Park. Set up camp here amid the tide pools and driftwood at Sand Point or Cape Alava (generally considered to be the site of each day's last sunset in the Lower 48), then spend your days hiking up and down the coast.
3. Gold Bluffs Beach, Calif.
A seemingly endless drive down a rutted dirt road pays off in the form of Gold Bluffs Beach in Humboldt County. There are campground sites on the beach here and a network of trails that snake into the adjacent redwood forest, home to some of the world's tallest trees. On one lucky loop, you might glimpse a banana slug, a herd of elk or even a gray whale.
4. Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Mich.
With so many beautiful ocean beaches, it's easy to overlook those along the Great Lakes. Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes National Lakeshore has some of the best dune specimens in the country — some loom 400 feet over Lake Michigan. It's also home to a number of uncrowded and unique pockets of wildlife along a shoreline that's dotted with forest and wetlands. Just inland, more than 20 additional lakes complement the great one.
5. Honeymoon Beach, St. John, Virgin Islands
St. John is ringed with so many picture-perfect beaches, it's hard to pick just one. But to find a stretch with a true dearth of crowds, follow the Lind Point Trail for about a mile to Salomon Beach or continue for about another half-mile to the even more secluded Honeymoon Beach. The trail offers views of the lush hills of St. John and the crystal-clear waters off the island's north shore. The coral reefs here are some of the best snorkeling destinations in the Caribbean — so pack your mask and flippers.

Are you Product-Focused or Customer-Focused? |
By Laurie Barkman | April 10 2013 (0 Comments) |
Companies that say they are committed to customer satisfaction, but then reward employees based on product sales, send a mixed message. Customer-focused companies put the customers at the centre of their business and business decisions. Customer-focused companies concentrate on long-term goals, like customer satisfaction, retention and repeat business instead of short-term goals like "increase dessert sales by 10%". Teaching your team to effectively upsell is important. Those skills help grow your business and improve your bottom line, but not to the same extent as loyal, repeat customers who keep coming back to your business and refer their friends, families and colleagues to you. Customer-focused companies:
The bonus is that customers who feel valued, customers who believe that their satisfaction is your number one priority are more likely to stay at their table a little longer and enjoy dessert and coffee. Customers who trust you and respect you are more likely to pay an extra $20 for the upgraded room. The upsell happens naturally when you focus on the customer first, instead of the sale. For more information on creating positive customer service experiences, visit www.servicedge.ca. |

Gold Trades Higher as Japan, UK and US Face Fiscal Abyss
Gold Trades Higher as Japan, UK and US Face Fiscal Abyss
Today's AM fix was USD 1,658.75, EUR 1,259.68 and GBP 1,031.37 per ounce.
Yesterday's AM fix was USD 1,655.25, EUR 1,247.65 and GBP 1,022.96 per ounce.
Silver is trading at $30.16/oz, €22.97/oz and £18.79/oz. Platinum is trading at $1,533.70/oz, palladium at $701.00/oz and rhodium at $1,040/oz.
Gold climbed $4.10 or 0.25% in New York yesterday and closed at $1,664.20/oz. Silver slipped to $29.685 in London, but it rose to a high of $30.466 in New York and finished with a gain of 0.8%.
Currency Ranked Returns in US Dollars – (Bloomberg)
Gold pared back early gains and edged down on Friday and tick tock goes the US "fiscal cliff" clock as time is running out for the somewhat irrelevant New Year's deadline.
Gold bullion prices are on target for their first weekly gain in a month after the sharp fall in December (-3%) led to bargain hunters buying the dip. Gold bottomed on December 29th last year prior to very strong gains in January 2012 and we believe a similar pattern may be seen again this year.
The yellow metal looks set to rack up its 12th straight year of gains on low to zero interest rates, concerns of the eurozone debt crisis and diversification into bullion by central banks.
2013 should see global gold demand grow on further strength from China and a recovery in India, helping the precious metal continue its bull run into its 13th year, according to the World Gold Council.

Publication Date: 2013-01-08

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Due to sexual content and heavy subject matter, this book is recommended for ages 17+#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING NOVEL"Hopeless blew me away. I was so wrapped up in this story, I felt as if I was Sky. She's so real. And Holder...dear God, fan me please. This one will rock your world. Trust me." ~Abbi Glines, bestselling author."HOPELESS has set the bar for the best first kiss in the history of first kisses. And the best leading man. And the best plot twists. And the best love-making. And the best last 'chapter.' I guess it's safe to say this book has set the bar for every book I pick up from here on out." ~Lynn's Reads Sometimes discovering the truth can leave you more hopeless than believing the lies...That's what Sky realizes after she meets Dean Holder. A guy with a reputation that rivals her own and an uncanny ability to invoke feelings in her she's never had before. He terrifies her and captivates her all in the span of one encounter, and something about the way he makes her feel sparks buried memories from a past she wishes could just stay buried. Sky struggles to keep him at a distance knowing he's nothing but trouble, but Holder insists on learning everything about her. After finally caving to his unwavering pursuit, Sky soon finds that Holder isn't at all who he's been claiming to be. When the secrets he's been keeping are finally revealed, every single facet of Sky's life will change forever.Recommended for readers 17+ due to sexual content, harsh language and heavy subject matter involving abuse and other mature issues.
