Rockfax Description16m. Climb a rib to ledges then hand traverse right (hand over the bulge) before trending left up the wall (bold) to a position below the big roof. Step out right and trend left to finish. Often dirty after rain. © ROCKFAX
UKC Logbook DescriptionThe wall left of the Mangler. Start in the over hung corner, gain the overhung flake, hand traverse right until it is posible to climb the wall direct to the large roof, traverse right then exit at the weakest point.
The crimp for the move off the traverse has fallen off (winter 08/09). At present the scar is sharp enough to get reasonable friction on it.

Gave it another go today to work the moves and got to the top eventually. Moving up after the traverse is ok, if the handholds furthest right are used, but gaining the next ledge definitely felt like the crux (rockover then dyno). Pumpy but not too hard thereafter. Still a long way to go until the lead, and definitely still no cleaner... kyaizawa - TR dog - 06/Oct/13 with Ben Crofts, Luke Cullum

Eurgh... Hard and bold - grade may be justifiable if totally clean, which it wasn't: abbing and cleaning route would probably have taken until Christmas, and required a broom and an industrial vacuum cleaner. Backed off after finding very dirty/sandy holds (little purchase on the crimps in the break) and uninspiring gear at the end of the hand traverse (yes the no.2 tricam does fit sideway- ish and yes did survive being weighted; no I would not like to lob on it, or the wire behind the block underneath that feels like it's fracturing). Maybe if/when conditions are right, I'll get back on it...kyaizawa - Lead dnf - 17/May/13 with Luke Cullum
Coming over the lip of the roof was horribly dirty-even for Causey! Not sure if it was because I got the crux wrong or it was just dirty, but felt like hard 5c. Excellent hands off rest before the roof, should have spent longer on it.lcullum7 - TR dog - 17/May/13 with Mike Mason, Ky Aizawa

Freelancers! Learn how to deal with deadbeats effectively
Freelancing can be a great way to make money, whether it's on the side or full time. However, what can an individual do with late-paying customers, or ones that do their best to be deadbeats? Here are the most common types of problem customers freelancers face, as well as how to deal with deadbeats.
Deadbeats claim the check is in the mail
Every freelance worker has clients at one time or another that are absent-minded, cash-clutching, or both. The key to keeping them on track after invoicing clients is to remind them regularly via collection letter that they have an outstanding balance due. Reminder letters can be friendly and assertive, as a reminder to pay for services rendered or products delivered.
If the due date listed in the letter or email passes, call the client immediately. If time continues to pay, more sever reminders are appropriate. Just make sure the client clearly understand the consequences of blowing you off.
Creative ways to deal with deadbeats
If the standard rounds of collection letters don't do the trick, freelancers can result to more creative means of getting a deadbeat client's attention. Instituting a payment plan may be all that it takes to get a customer back on track. If the customer is generally cash-poor, they'll appreciate your efforts to work with them, and you may actually get some of the money.
Unfortunately, some clients are perennial problems. Reminders and payment plans don't work, so a freelancer might consider not doing business with such clients again. Don't be so eager to extend future credit to customers who consistently pay late, in partial or not at all. Run credit checks if you believe you have any reason to worry. Your time is valuable in the end, so why waste it on deadbeats?
If a client disappears before they can pay and they're far beyond all due dates, consider bringing in a pro debt collector.
How to deal with deadbeat clients – Common steps
- Get a signed contract. Use an invoicing system that automatically sends 30-, 60- and 90-day past due notice.
- Use email and telephone to send additional reminder notices. Make it short, such as "Hi, I notice you haven't paid. Let me know if there's a problem or if you think my records are wrong."
- Don't work with non-paying clients. They'll overpromise and underdeliver, time and again. Establish a clear cut-off policy, a point after which you'll refer a client to collections and no longer work with them.

Toccoa Falls College named one of best in Southeast
Toccoa Falls College is one of the best in the Southeast, according to the nationally known education services company, The Princeton Review. It is one of 136 institutions The Princeton Review recommends in its "Best in the Southeast" section of its website feature, "2013 Best Colleges: Region by Region," that posted August 20, 2012, on PrincetonReview.com.
Princeton Review's Senior VP/Publisher Robert Franek said in a recent statement, "We're pleased to recommend Toccoa Falls College to users of our site as one of the best schools to earn their undergrad degree. We chose it and the other terrific institutions we name as 'regional best' colleges mainly for their excellent academic programs. From several hundred schools in each region, we winnowed our list based on institutional data we collected directly from the schools, our visits to schools over the years, and the opinions of our staff, plus college counselors and advisors whose recommendations we invite. We also take into account what students at the schools reported to us about their campus experiences on our 80-question student survey for this project. Only schools that permit us to independently survey their students are eligible to be considered for our regional 'best' lists."
Toccoa Falls College president, Dr. Robert Myers, said, "I am thrilled that the Princeton Review recognizes the quality and solid Christian education students receive at Toccoa Falls College. Our motto 'Where Character Is Developed with Intellect' encompasses all we do. Our faculty are remarkably talented and our staff care deeply about our students. If you are looking for a college that can give you skills needed to change the world, Toccoa Falls College is the place for you. We have alums all over the globe changing the world for Christ. We hope you or those you know will join us!"
Collectively, the 633 colleges named "regional best(s)" constitute about 25 percent of the nation's 2,500 four-year colleges.
For this project, The Princeton Review asks students attending the schools to rate their own schools on several issues — from the accessibility of their professors to quality of the campus food — and answer questions about themselves, their fellow students, and their campus life. Comments from surveyed students are quoted in the school profiles on The Princeton Review site. Student comments in the profile said Toccoa Falls College is a Christian college "committed to building character with intellect." Others said their school excels at "teaching men and women to become professionals in several fields in order to facilitate the spreading of the Gospel of Christ."
Toccoa Falls College was established in 1907 in Golden Valley, North Carolina, and moved to Toccoa Falls, Georgia, in 1911.

Posted: 03/23/07
The Armored Cores series has been around for some time, managing to find its niche with hardcore gearheads with a penchant for giant robots. Armored Core 4 takes things up a notch, making its nuts and bolts design even more in-depth. The question is whether all the customization options have limited the game's audience or created an entirely new one.
The game takes place in the distant future, which as every gamer knows, is post-apocalyptic. Mega-corporations vie for control of the populace while mercenary mech pilots known as Ravens carry out their agendas by force. Players assume the role of a lone mercenary, taking orders from a worrisome female retainer as long as her checks don't bounce.
Like past Armored Core games, the story is relatively complex and convoluted, dealing with intercontinental politics and conflicts rather than really involving the player in the story by fleshing out characters. It's pretty lackluster stuff, and in this respect, nothing has changed.
The single-player game is decidedly linear, following a series of missions that are broken up into chapters which are book-ended by cutscenes to advance the story. Previous games allow you to make choices about which corporation or colony to fight for, but this time around it's just one mission after the next. Some missions are optional, but if you want to build the fastest or the strongest mech that money can buy, you'll want to complete them all.
This formula has always been a constant in the Armored Core games, so it's a bit of a letdown to see that it's been simplified here. It's all pretty boring stuff, and frankly, we've seen it all many times before.
Traditionally, Armored Core games include an arena option to distract you from the story mode, where you can fight your way against AI opponents to the top of the heap. This time it's all being done online the way it was always meant to be played, making it much more fun and engaging since you're fighting against real human opponents rather than A.I.-controlled bots.
Players can get into several different modes with up to seven other players via the PlayStation network, Xbox Live, system link, and split-screen. The modes include one on one matches, two on two, and four on four team matches, or four- and eight-player battle royales.
A ranking system is also in place for those who like to spend most of their time online. For gamers with an ego the size of a giant robot and a mean competitive streak, this is what they've been waiting to play.
In all, you'll get a lot of play time out of Armored Core 4 with its various modes and options. Its online offerings aren't as interesting as those in Chromehounds, but they're still fairly robust. That is, if you can tolerate the rigid, sim-based gameplay.
The cornerstone of the Armored Core series has always been its highly customizable mechs, or ACs, which can be tinkered with in a multitude of ways. From choosing different arms, legs, torsos, and heads to different boosters, generators, defensive parts, and of course, weapons. The game offers players literally thousands of options to choose from before hitting the battlefield.
The process of fine-tuning a mech can be compared to tuning up a futuristic car. It's a lot of hard work, but it can be very rewarding. Basically, you try to balance weight and energy with speed and firepower. The construction and tuning system has gotten even deeper, allowing you to manually adjust boosting thresholds and other minute, but potentially crucial, details. Thankfully, they'll calibrate automatically if it's too much for you to deal with, and for the average player, it will be way too much.
Parts are bought with paychecks you get for blowing stuff up and clearing missions. You're able to save several different AC configurations so that you won't have to sort and swap every part over and over again, but with a limited budget, quickly shifting your parts around can still become a problem.
Hardcore fans that love this amount of depth will be completely satisfied. Others will be left scratching their heads, wishing they could just blow something up already.
In fact, if you're looking for a fast-paced action game with easy controls and a simple, user-friendly interface, this isn't it. The action is definitely fast-paced, especially online, but the controls constantly ride the line between fun and frustration. The same can be said of the entire game.
Before each mission you're given a briefing that lays out your objectives and gives some basic intel about the enemies that you'll be facing. These briefings never give you more than a vague idea of how to prepare yourself for the fight, and you're practically forced to radically overhaul your design from one mission to the next in order to find a sensible solution. Some gamers may enjoy the demanding challenge, while others will want to throw their controllers across the room. Often times it's excessively difficult to fulfill an objective without a perfectly-suited mech design. It's rigid and requires tedious trial and error. Mission types are pretty standard, including escorting, defending, attacking, and assassination.
Regardless of the configuration, your machine can feel clunky at first, especially with heavier mechs, but the series has at least moved toward a solid analogue control scheme that isn't completely baffling. Controls for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions are identical, allowing you to switch between handheld and shoulder-mounted weapons on the fly, relegating the boost controls to the trigger buttons for easier strafing, flying, and the newly added quick-boost button, which can make it much easier to avoid incoming attacks.
Playing Armored Core 4 can be an exercise in frustration, yet the feeling of accomplishment you get when you finally get things right can be a nice payoff.
Past the faster, more boost-friendly gameplay, a lot has stayed the same in Armored Core 4. The learning curve is steep, the controls take effort to master, and the single-player game is ultimately there to prepare you for head-to-head matches. It's a very specific game experience that rewards trial and error and fails to appeal to a broad audience in the process.

A partial MECP2 duplication in a mildly affected adult male: a putative role for the 3' untranslated region in the MECP2 duplication phenotype
- Equal contributors

BMC Medical Genetics 2012, 13:71 doi:10.1186/1471-2350-13-71Published: 10 August 2012
Duplications of the X-linked MECP2 gene are associated with moderate to severe intellectual disability, epilepsy, and neuropsychiatric illness in males, while triplications are associated with a more severe phenotype. Most carrier females show complete skewing of X-inactivation in peripheral blood and an apparent susceptibility to specific personality traits or neuropsychiatric symptoms.
We describe the clinical phenotype of a pedigree segregating a duplication of MECP2 found on clinical array comparative genomic hybridization. The position, size, and extent of the duplication were delineated in peripheral blood samples from affected individuals using multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification and fluorescence in situ hybridization, as well as targeted high-resolution oligonucleotide microarray analysis and long-range PCR. The molecular consequences of the rearrangement were studied in lymphoblast cell lines using quantitative real-time PCR, reverse transcriptase PCR, and western blot analysis.
We observed a partial MECP2 duplication in an adult male with epilepsy and mild neurocognitive impairment who was able to function independently; this phenotype has not previously been reported among males harboring gains in MECP2 copy number. The same duplication was inherited by this individual's daughter who was also affected with neurocognitive impairment and epilepsy and carried an additional copy-number variant. The duplicated segment involved all four exons of MECP2, but excluded almost the entire 3' untranslated region (UTR), and the genomic rearrangement resulted in a MECP2-TEX28 fusion gene mRNA transcript. Increased expression of MECP2 and the resulting fusion gene were both confirmed; however, western blot analysis of lysates from lymphoblast cells demonstrated increased MeCP2 protein without evidence of a stable fusion gene protein product.
The observations of a mildly affected adult male with a MECP2 duplication and paternal transmission of this duplication are unique among reported cases with a duplication of MECP2. The clinical and molecular findings imply a minimal critical region for the full neurocognitive expression of the MECP2 duplication syndrome, and suggest a role for the 3′ UTR in mitigating the severity of the disease phenotype.

L'Officiel (Middle East) December, 2007
photography by Candy Kennedy
styling by Stuart Roberston
hair and makeup by Dennie Pasion
Turns out, Dita Von Teese was on the cover of L'Officiel Middle East in 2007. Unfortunately the Jalou Gallery doesn't have it. Though, I do love that gallery quite a bit. I wish more publishers would keep such extensive archives.
Thank you to Irene for identifying this set of photos. It's a pity they're from 5 years ago. I was hoping they were more recent so I'd have more of a chance at finding a copy! Dita was also on the cover in 2009.
"I thought i would add this shoot that i did for L'Officiel magazine a while back. I shot with Dita von Teese and it was awesome. The horses were mad and were biting and kicking each other all day as they were both males ! Even though i asked for two calm horses i got the opposite. We had around 10 – 15 minutes to shoot each shot."

A bill that would significantly limit young people with disabilities from entering sheltered workshop programs is headed to President Barack Obama's desk.
The U.S. House of Representatives voted 415 to 6 Wednesday to approve the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. Included in the bill are major changes to the path from school to work for those with disabilities.
Specifically, the measure would prohibit individuals age 24 and younger from working jobs that pay less than the federal minimum of $7.25 per hour unless they first try vocational rehabilitation services, among other requirements.
What's more, the legislation would require state vocational rehabilitation agencies to work with schools to provide "pre-employment transition services" to all students with disabilities. And, such agencies must allocate a minimum of 15 percent of their federal funding to help individuals with disabilities in transition under the measure.
While the bill mandates that most young people try competitive employment before they could work for less than minimum wage, there are exceptions for those deemed ineligible for vocational rehabilitation and to allow individuals already earning so-called subminimum wage to continue to do so.
The measure, which was approved by the U.S. Senate last month, is now on its way to the White House and Obama said he will sign it.
"This bipartisan compromise will help workers, including workers with disabilities, access employment, education, job-driven training and support services that give them the chance to advance their careers and secure the good jobs of the future," Obama said in a statement.
The workforce bill is the product of years of negotiation on Capitol Hill and was approved with broad bipartisan support.
U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, who spearheaded the components of the legislation specific to people with disabilities, called the changes "groundbreaking" and said they will "raise prospects and expectations for Americans with disabilities so that they receive the skills and training necessary to succeed in competitive, integrated employment."
Nonetheless, the issue of submininum wage remains highly contentious within the disability community, with some advocates arguing the legislation does not go far enough while others say moving away from sheltered workshops may simply leave people with disabilities fewer options for meaningful daytime activity.

I do believe it is step right direction if they measures are delivered to the targeted group. No more the shelter work programs are the catch all for all disabilities. No more businesses are given the right to discriminate against the high functioning disabilities. I known the shelter work advocates believe that it only applies to ID but it is not applied to that group. One group does not have the right to take advantage of another group which is often the case with Shelter Work Programs. Just because a person ID does not give the average person the right to discriminate against them in wages. Not only that Job coaches are the worst they do not wish to acknowledge the High Functioning criticism. Shelter Work Programs are good concept that went wrong and this shows that Government is considering the same thing.
It sounds like they made some important positive changes to prevent the disruption in employment for existing program participants who choose to stay put (for whatever reason) and not go the path of competitive employment. It also appears that they will not (as planned) coerce younger folks with severe disabilities who are unwilling or unable. to fail at competitive employment before they can work in the setting of their choice. If that's accurate, that is a positive development.
Again, the current system has plenty wrong with it and needs significant change, but with this initiative and many other policy prescriptions from the inside the DC beltway, it is important to put the right of people to exercise choice ahead of a rigid "one size fits all disabilities" ideology, even if the choices people exercise aren't to the policy maker's liking.
This looks like a win for the Sheltered Workshops and those who choose to attend.
I don't see this being any different than what is already being done where I'm at. We try in school and early on to get them a community job, but when all else fails at least they still have the oppurtunity for work in a sheltered work shop.
This is a good sign, but what about the incentives for companies to hire people with disabilities? People from the age of 18-24 that cannot find a job- what about them? They cannot get into a workshop and they can't find a job so do they sit home idle? There just aren't enough jobs out there for anyone.
This is probably best for most young people with disabilities, however, one size unfortunately does not fit all. My severley, profoundly intellectually disabled son will now be shuttled aside to an inappropriate day placement. I have already been notified by the sheltered workshop he is currently in that they will be closing and probably the only day program he will be eligible for is a daycare situation for severely physically and cognitively impaired elderly. They can't remain open for so few participants. Instead of mixing with his peers, learning new self help skills and going on regular excusions into the community, parks, movies and even once a visit to the White House, he will be sitting in front of a TV with a bunch of old folks without any meaningful stimulation or challenge. At least he will enjoy the bus ride to and from the program. My heart is broken but I also realize it is probably better for the majority – but not the total population. In this day and age WHY can't we take care of ALL?
Here we go again. Same old same old. Just like the ADA. This Bill is designed to titilate, not change anything. Where are the teeth of enforcement? A Bill with no enforcement is a Joke……But of course politically correct….
So new hires into SW may have to be paid minimum wage, even though they may be unable to work at the pace of a "fully functioning" person. And who, may I ask, is going to "eat" the cost? Commensurate Wage is designed to allow a person with disabilities the chance to work and earn to the best of their abilities. Just like any other business, if the labor costs become prohibitive, you can't sell the product/service because other companies will undercut you.
To be blunt, if you are producing widgets and you have the choice between hiring five people at MW who can produce at 100% or five people at MW who can only produce at 33%, which do you hire? So people with disabilities will find opportunities lacking because workshops cannot be competitive. That places the person into group homes or nursing homes if the family can't find someone to watch them.
There are good SW just like there are bad ones. The Good Ones do what they can to employ everyone at every skill level as long as they can be competitive with what the needs of the community are. IF they can't provide a good service at a reasonable price, they can't employ people with disabilities.
It severely frustrates me to see this bill even considered let alone passed!
My son Wesley is almost 23 years old and lives with Mental Retardation, Cerebral palsy, sensory disorder, behavioral disorder, chronic constipation and a cecostomy tube. When we moved back to Utah so that Wesley could be near his father we had high hopes for a bright future. However, what we have found is that there are waiting lists for every service proved here unless you have the money to pay out of pocket.
Few Doctors that work with adults who have the complicated medical background and issues that is common among people who have severe disabilities. The one place i did find is not even taking anyone on there too full waiting list.
According to the United Cerebral Palsy Organization Utah is at number 43 out of 51 for the services they provide for the intellectually and developmentally disabled.
All Medicaid Waiver programs are managed through The Division of Services for People with Disabilities (DSPD). This includes all money available for sheltered work programs and money for services, such as behavioral therapy, that are not covered by Disabled Medicaid.The expected time you should expect your loved one to be on the waiting list? Over five years. So many people need the services that are availible. Because of this many people with intellectually and developmental disabilities end up in state care in order to receive benefits that would cost far less than if they could receive them while living in their own communities and homes!
This however is also a common problem in most States and some thing needs to be done other than to make cuts for services for a groups of people who have repeatedly received cuts to their serves over that past decade!
Something needs to be done!
I'm so pleased w this decision- I've waited a long time for this!!
When Senator Harken states that people with disabilities will "receive the skills and training necessary to succeed in competitive, integrated employment.he and many, many other advocates are missing the important issue of continued supports. Skills and training can only go so far and many people need continued supports to maintain skills taught and learned. Senator Harken and others think that once taught these folks can go be independent in their work place and life – this is not reality. Many of these folks need intense supports throughout the day and this is very different than skills and training.
This is great for those with disabilities who can emotionally/behaviorally handle a normal work setting. However, there are those who cannot. Those individuals deserve a place to work so they can earn not only a few dollars but self-esteem as well.
Caution is advised. Sheltered workshops if designed and implemented correctly are great places of employment, friendships and harbors of security for some people with disabilities. Do not throw out the baby and bath water. Which would be better… Working solo with fellow employees who I have nothing in common with or working with people I have something in common with which is the bases to form friendships? Just as group homes now are being funded privately……caution please…..employment is difficult for people without disabilities ….oh below minimum would create a " social stigma" at the job. Please caution….look at the long run. Yes people with disabilities are a large part of our financial budget…but that's what a society is all about….taking care of it's own.
Dear Lynn NYS has wonderful options……move here.
What this bill fails to acknowledge is that some (if not most, who are not particularly "high functioning") people with disabilities will never be able to perform "competitively" in integrated jobs as if they were not disabled. For example, a person with Autism, who doesn't talk. No matter how intelligent, he or she is not going to be able to handle the speech bombardment of most workplaces. That does not mean he or she cannot have meaningful work, it just means they should not be required to "compete" with the non-disabled. While not a fan of sheltered workshops, that allow ridiculously low wages for piece work based on productivity, Dept. of Rehab. is not the answer. When my son applied for services a short while ago, we were told that he has to be "employment ready" before they would have anything to offer him. I propose the support Micro-industries promoting creative outlets, for those who have splinter skills, such as painting, drawing writing (there are non-verbal people who can communicate by typing, but often not quickly enough to carry on a conversation), where they can find some thing they are good at and passionate about, and produce something people may want to buy. And maybe part time work in a more public setting, to help the transition to the adult world, even if it is volunteer work. It is unrealistic to expect a few months of vocational training to prepare someone with a cognitive disability to perform as well as someone without a disability.
I am saddened that there will not be set into place a way for persons with disabilities to make the CHOICE FOR THEMSELVES if they would like to work in the community or if they would prefer, keeping the option for employment in an agency, community center, or sheltered workshop that supports that subminimum wage if that is what they choose coming out of high school. My school does not legally meet transition requirements and most of the schools in rural areas also don't. There is little support and help for us and the subminimum wage offers for our loved ones an opportunity to be integrated in our community because when you live in a town with three bars, one gas station and a post office where else can he find employment!!!!!!
I disagree with the terms of this bill. Not all individuals who have developmental disabilities will be able to preform work in the community especially with able bodied young and old there to scoop up the jobs. Some of these individuals have behaviors that will not be tolerated. It is not that this group does not want to work because they want nothing more. It just might not be feasible for all of them to be on this path. Yes have those who are able to work but not push out those who have severe limitations from earning anything.
Why the 24 year and younger clause. The only reason I can think of…they are going to need the extra income because they won't be receiving IO Waivers? I don't know….but a good idea should be true regardless of age!
Please consider that not all people with intellectual disabilities are capable of vocational training or working in the community. Have you considered that the medically fragile individuals may not be able to work in the community? Oftentimes the only way a sheltered workshop can be competitive is to use a piece rate calculation since the production rate may not be comptetitive witht he standard work force. If the sheltered workshops are required to pay only minimum wage, the work available to them will be reduced and now you have now taken away any paycheck, regardless of the amount that is written on it. How do you thinhk that will affect their self worth? Let us keep in mind that not all DD persons function at the highest levels.
Lora: I am pleased to see the comments of many recognizing that just as those of us who do not have a developmental disability, those that do also have different levels of abilities. And yes, many workshops need to depend on piece work rates (which are based on minimum or prevailing wage) to remain operational and to be able to provide work for individuals with developmental disabilities. A good workshop will also consistently look at the functioning level of those served and when possible assist them in obtaining employment outside of the workshop setting when possible. Bridget is right, they deserve the right to choose where and with whom they would like to work. Working with peers gives a source of support and friendship as well as the self esteem. They feel good about earning a pay check, the amount is less important to them than the pride in having earned it. I work with some of these amazing individuals and they deserve to have a voice in where they work, we owe it to them to provide such a place and if that means a sheltered workshop, so be it. Not all of these individuals can function happily in the competitive job market.
I think this bill is important because people with disabilities need to be treated as people &full citizens, yes there is a spectrum of differently abled people, some benefit more from this legislation than others, but the main point is to protect every american's right not to be taken advantage of and paid sweat shop wages for their labor that don't enable them to live. An example is the recent justice department case against the state of Rhode Island, that state sent every special needs person to a "sheltered workshop" where they earned on average $2.21 an hour. This should not be, and I congratulate the justice dept for their work.
Rhode Island was not giving the disabled a choice, they had rubber stamped sheltered workshops for all, and I think this bill is a step forward in preventing this kind of abuse. I would like to see the disabled given the choice of what they want to do, and assisted employment available for some who want it, with decent wages. For the more capable an end to discrimination, one size does not fit all. But I everyone needs protection from being taken advantage of and discrimination.
What no one seems to mention or want to acknowledge is that all the training, support and preparation in the world will not be enough to coerce employers into hiring the Intellectually challenged. If employers are not willing to hire them and there are no special arrangements being made for these workers to assure that they get jobs after all of this training, then what's the use of the training and all of the supported employment? Employers have to be tricked into even interviewing these consumers by requesting "informational interviews"…and they rarely even agree to that. They don't want to donate the time. We need legislation to require employers to hire our people. We also need to provide real incentives (not the weak incentives that are already on the books) that will encourage employers to hire them. Really, is competitive employment an option for the ID? How can they compete with the non-disabled population? Everyone is fighting and competing for work nowadays. People with Masters and Doctorate degrees are having a hard time finding work. People over 40 are having a hard time finding work. How does the ID population fit in? They will lose out every time, unless the employer is committed to hiring the disabled, which is pretty rare. I think we are all living in a delusion, believing that there is a fair chance for our consumers out there. Let's face it, the majority of employers are in it for the profit. Not for the good of humankind.
I'm very sorry about this. My son has been working in a sheltered workshop for 15 years and has been so happy, as are his friends and coworkers who also work there. Because he is able to attend it makes it possible for me to work and provide. Many handicapped people cannot work independently and greatly benefit from the workshops. They have friends and meaningful use of their time. All you folks who want these individuals included in the world, do you have friends with special needs?
I hope that the government looks closely into the purpose of the sheltered workshop. For those who literally are unable to hold a job outside of the workshop, how fair is it to take that opportunity away from them? Granted, some consumers in the workshop could work in the community, however getting the community to hire them is another issue. Some of the contract work they do is outstanding, some of it not so tedious. But given the opportunity to work in the workshop or have no job at all, I am sure they prefer working, giving them some independence, while allowing staff, medical staff, and others to assist them as needed. Do not close the workshops. I do not think it is taking advantage of them to have some type of job. Better than an institution where they watch television all day

Dominic Cork insists Hampshire can retain their LV County Championship first division status as well as their Friends Life t20 title.
Hampshire have qualified for the t20 quarter-finals as South Group winners, but now return to four-day action with a must-win game against Sussex at Hove. They are 36 points adrift of safety at the foot of Division One and are so far the only county without a Championship win this season.
But Cork is as determined to see Hampshire stay in the top flight as he is to become the first captain to lead his county to a successful defence of the domestic t20 title.
He said: "As a club we've staved off relegation in the last two years and what we have to do is fight hard to get ourselves up to at least third from bottom. We've got nine games left and we can still do it.
"We can do as much talking in the changing room as we like and as much planning as possible but we have to look at ourselves and take some responsibility."
Hampshire are the longest serving of the first division counties. "I take it very personally and don't like being bottom," added Cork. "[Hampshire manager] Giles White's the same, we take it hard but I never give in with anything and I'm not giving in. I still really believe that we'll be okay.
"We have to grab games by the scruff of the neck and make things hard for the opposition. We'll probably have to win three or four games at least. That's a tough ask but we have the players that can do it."

Shape up or I'll ship you out, warns Redknapp
Posted: November 27, 2012|
HARRY Redknapp has vowed to axe any QPR player who does not pull his weight as he faced up to the "toughest" challenge of his managerial career.
Redknapp, who takes his new side to Sunderland tonight, insisted Rangers' "nice" owners had not been given the results they deserved for the money they had paid for their squad in transfer fees and wages.
Redknapp has only been in the Loftus Road hot-seat for two days, but it took him little time to assess what had led his new side to make the worst start to a season in Premier League history.
The man who rescued Tottenham and Portsmouth from relegation said at his official unveiling yesterday morning: "We've got four points from 13 games, which is an incredible, low total.
"We've got to do better to give ourselves an opportunity to get out of this mess. I need people that are going to work.
"When they lose the ball, chase it. It's what you learnt when you were at school. That's what you did in the playground. I need 11 people with the ability to put effort in. And if they give that effort then we've got a chance of surviving.
"If they don't, they're not going to play to start with and I'll find another 11 who will run about and work hard."

USU football: Aggies beat San Jose State 49-27
Published October 13, 2012 1:51 pm
USU football • San Jose State features the most talented quarterback the Aggies have faced so far this season.
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
San Jose, Calif. • Utah State played its best game of the season from start to finish, defeating San Jose State 49-27 on Saturday afternoon in its Western Athletic Conference opener.
The Aggies scored on their first four possessions, and led 28-3 early in the second period. Although the Spartans would make a push before halftime, USU dominated the second half.
In doing so, the Aggies recorded a school-record 13 sacks, overshadowing a great performance by the offense. Utah State moves to 5-2 on the season, and puts itself in good position to compete for the WAC title.

Prostate cancer doesn't kill in the prostate it's the disease's metastasis to other tissues that can be fatal. A University of Colorado Cancer Center study published this week in the Journal of Biological Chemistry shows that prostate cancer cells containing the protein SPDEF continue to grow at the same pace as their SPDEF- cousins, but that these SPDEF+ cells are unable to survive at possible sites of metastasis.
"It's as if these cancer cells with SPDEF can't chew into distant tissue and so are unable to make new homes," says Hari Koul, PhD, investigator at the CU Cancer Center and director of urology research at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, the study's senior author.
Koul and his group discovered the homesteading power of cancer cells that have lost SPDEF by introducing a gene into cells that makes them glow in the presence of a dye, and then introducing them into the bloodstream of animal models. Cells without SPDEF traveled through the blood and successfully attached to tissue, surviving and so fluorescing many weeks later when dye was introduced. However, cells with SPDEF flowed through the blood but were unable to successfully establish new colonies and so soon died out.
In fact, the protein SPDEF doesn't act directly to allow cells to attach at possible metastasis sites, but is a transcription factor that controls the production (or lack thereof) of two other proteins MMP9 and MMP13. These two downstream proteins work to break down tissue, like a dissolving agent they are the cleaning crew that clears space for new and different growth, and in the case of prostate cancer metastasis they chip the tissue footholds that cancer cells need to create micrometastases.
"Given that MMP9 and perhaps MMP13 are also involved in metastasis of several other cancers including lung, ovarian, breast and colon to name a few, our findings could potentially have far-reaching consequences outside prostate cance

Cemetery records can identify a date of death, other family
members, even a cause of death. Older records
from most cemeteries consist of "lot cards"
– cards which hold information about anyone
buried in that plot. These lot cards sometimes
contain surprises, such as family members buried
in the plot whose names do not appear on the gravestone.
Lot cards often reveal who purchased the plot,
and can be a good source of information about
your family tree.
I will travel to any cemetery in Springfield
and surrounding cities and towns. The specific
list of cities and towns I will travel to for
researching cemetery records are:
For an additional fee,
I will travel to any city or town in Western MA
(Hampden, Hampshire or Berkshire Counties) to
obtain cemetery records. Fee will be based on
travel distance.

1997 Land Rover Defender Base Soft Top Sport Utility cost of ownership data is powered by
Ownership costs are the costs to purchase and operate a vehicle over a period of time. Understanding these costs may enable you to save money and help you make a wiser decision when choosing your next new car.
Regardless of the "value" claims that you may read in car reviews or hear in advertisements, the economic value of a car is based on how much it will cost to own and operate compared to its purchase price. In a sense, purchase price is "what you pay" and the ownership costs are "what you get."
Ownership costs can differ greatly. The cost to own and operate two different vehicles with equal purchase prices can differ by thousands. Of course when evaluating ownership cost for used cars and trucks, a vehicle's condition and mileage will greatly impact ownership costs, therefore it's important to compare similar vehicles in similar condition for an accurate picture.

Basic Warranty:
The basic warranty covers everything except items that are subject to wear and tear or replacement in the ordinary course of vehicle ownership, such as oil and air filters, wiper blades and brake pads. Tires and batteries are often excluded, but usually have their own warranty provided by the manufacturers of those items. Emissions equipment is required by Federal law to be covered for five years or 50,000 miles.
Drive Train Warranty:
In some cases the drive train warranty continues after the basic warranty has expired. This part of the warranty covers most of the parts that make the vehicle move, including the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft. Like the basic warranty, consumable parts such as hoses and belts are not covered. However, most of the internal parts of the engine, such as the pistons and bearings, which are also subject to wear and tear, are covered by the drive train warranty.
Roadside Assistance:
Many manufacturers provide a service that will rescue you if your car leaves you stranded, even if it's your fault. Lock yourself our of your car? Run out of gas? Got a flat tire? A call to the manufacturer's toll-free number will result in somebody showing up who can help you out. There is a huge variance in these programs so check ahead of time to see what is covered and what you will have to pay for.
Rust or Corrosion Warranty:
Rust or Corrosion Warranty: This warranty covers the vehicle's sheet metal, and protects you from rust and corrosion that are severe enough to cause a hole - surface rust is not covered. However, if you keep your car washed and waxed rust shouldn't be a problem.

A Watertown woman was charged Monday afternoon after city police said she had lorazepam pills without a prescription.
Jamilah R. Smith, 18, of 206 Franklin St., Apt. 515, was charged with possessing six 0.5 milligram pills in a plastic baggie hanging out of her pants pocket in plain view at 206 Franklin St. at 4:51 p.m. Monday.
Lorazepam, also known by its brand name Ativan, is often prescribed for anxiety disorders, insomnia and seizures, and also is used as a sedative, but is also abused recreationally and can lead to physical dependence.
She was charged with seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and transported to the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building, where she was issued an appearance ticket to City Court.

I would bring the Oware tarp. You can ditch these without sacrificing any comfort or safety:Extra long sleeved sunshirt. -10oz (or use this as your day shirt and ditch the current one listed as worn)Bring just one additional pair of socks for a total of 2. -3 ozDitch the extra undies. -5 ozNix the space blanket (You got your sleeping bag). -2 ozCut towel in half. -3oz= immediate saving of 23 oz or 1 lb 7oz.For the JMT my gf and I had one set of cloths for day, and one for night (and 1 extra pair of socks, my puffy jacket, rain shell, windpants). Never regretted it once. Switch socks everyday and wash when given the opportunity. Dry on outside of pack while hiking. Same with underwear, but I just wear mine dry. Get good underwear like exofficio.I would thin out the first aid kit/repair. Mine weighed around 6 oz for 2 people on my recent 22 day JMT hike. Only used one bandaid, and some ibuprofen the entire trip. Things off the top to get rid of would be liquid bandaid, a few of the alc wipes and bandaids. Just bring the lighter and the firesteel, or the lighter and the matches. Would be fine with just the lighter also. You could ditch the comb and just braid your hair to keep it managed for the trip. I would take the shoes that are most comfortable for you. From what you listed I would personally opt for the asics. Overall, Looks very good!
I am thinking about dumping the long sleeve shirt and the extra undies and extra socks.I do have a 5 oz raincoat/ jacket (marmot) in case i need the arm covering+ can be used incase it gets cold in conjunction with my wool top.I am most likely going with the asics. I wore the boots yesterday for a short 5 mile hike. They are so much heavier than the asics. Plus I have been doing a lot of hiking (without any pack) with my vibrams to help strengthen my feet muscles that I notice the weight of the boots more.I also can go with a 30 degree bag that is 6 oz lighter. But I do sleep cold and weather can be iffy in oct. but if I stay with the 15 degree bag I will cut the wool bottoms out.Why do you recommend the tarp vs nothing? First aid kit. When I go solo I tend to add a little to this department. In that 16 oz is also some anti bacterial gel and anti inch ointment and matches.Good point about the flint. That is out as well. Go with matches/ bic. Space blanket And liquid bandaid too.Thanks for the feedback, Jason!

I always bring a shelter even if the weather forecast is good. Weather can be unpredictable. In my opinion it is worth the extra safeguard, especially for 10oz. Freak storms happen. You could definitely get away without if the weather forecast is looking to be 100% good. I would probably stick with the 15 degree bag if you sleep cold especially with the air core since the R value is 1.0, and will probably feel cold below 40-45 degrees. If you go with the 30degree, definitely get a sleeping pad with a higher R-value. Figure a pad with r-2.5 can take you down to about freezing comfortably. For october, even with the 15 degree bag, I would look at replacing the air core for something a bit warmer, or supplementing it with a torso sized foam pad.I understand the idea of having a beefed up first aid kit for solo travel. Still, I would get rid of some more of the extra stuff geared towards your typical cuts and scrapes, and maybe add something like quick clot. Any serious injuries like broken limbs or large wounds would be untreatable in the field anyways and would require immediate evac. Small cuts and scrapes don't really need treatment other than keeping them clean. The way I see it, have a kit that can treat 1-2 skinned knees and elbows, chaffing, blisters, and heavy bleeding. Maybe throw in some athletic tape for a sprained ankle. That is all that is necessary and practical in the field from my experience.For clothes, I would just take the long sleeve and ditch the short sleeve day shirt. Can always roll up the sleeves, and I find longsleeve sun shirts like what you have to be just fine even in very hot weather.Sounds like your feet will be just fine!

Sounds like fun!I think you could save some weight without giving up comfort or safety.Indeed, bring the tarp OR the space blanket. If you think it will be dry for sure, take the spaceblanket and use it as a tarp if you were wrong. If there is even a small chance of rain, bring the tarp. A 15F down bag will be useless when wet and super heavy too.Shirts: you list:short sleeveLong sleeve button upmerino wool topTake just the button shirt.If that's not warm enough, wear the button and carry the merino for nights. Or better yet, if you have (or can buy cheaply, EG Stoic Hadron, MEC Lightdegree ) a down shirt, take that for evenings/camp instead at a similar weight and much more warmth. With a heavier down jkt you might be able to take the lighter sleeping bag.On the other hand, do you have any shell? What are the conditions? Temp? Wind? Precip?If you are bringing long underwear for nights, sleep in those and rinse out your synthetic undies in the evening, they will be dry(enough) by morning. Also, 5oz is EXTREMELY heavy for underpants, and you have 2 pairs, for a total of 10 oz.I just weighed my 'Sonoma' synthetic boxers from JC Penney and they were 2.6oz for a size L. So, taking only one of those would save you ~7oz. I am sure there are lighter ones out there too.Buff and balaclava serve similar purpose. Pick one. (Your sleeping bag has a hood right?Bring 2 pairs of socks. If they are merino wool you can easily hike 2 days in one pair. Or, bring one ultralight pair to hike in, rinse at night and sleep in a warm merino pair.Fire items are very heavy. You list 5oz. A Bic mini is 0.4 oz, my UST firesteel mini is 0.9 oz, so about 1.5 oz total would give you plenty of firestarting capability.I just weighed my packtowel: 1.2 oz. You don't need a full size towel, that's the idea of packtowel, you can use a small piece, wring it out and reuse it.
Edited by Tjaard on 08/28/2012 09:20:00 MDT.
Some of my weights for clothing are pure guesses. As are the weights for fire stuff. I figured I would be better guessing high than underestimating.The second pair of undies is 1 bra/panties. . Weight? Very lightThe merino wool top/bottom will double as sleepwear and second layer if cold. Weight ? Very lightPack towel is Msr ultra light @ 1.8 ozThe long sleeve shirt is probably 10 oz. so I will dump that. Tarp I will carry as insurance. And yet, I can use it as a shade lean to if it gets too hot with no shadeI will go back thru the first aid bag and see where items can be trimmed. Realized I don't have sunscreen....so I need to make a smaller size plus I left off my prescription sunglasses.Yes, bag has hood. So balaclava is out and keep buff. I will use this day and night.Again thanks for the tips. It is nice to have someone scrutinizing my choices and making me think back thru them.Btw...the insulated air core has a high r value. It is good down to 15-25 degrees.

"Some of my weights for clothing are pure guesses. As are the weights for fire stuff. I figured I would be better guessing high than underestimating."Aha, that explains it. I thought that those figures seemed very high. So yeah the best advice is to get a scale and put everything on it. You might find some interesting facts!"The second pair of undies is 1 bra/panties. . Weight? Very light"Aha, I was thinking this was for a male hiker, as I didn't see a bra listed and the weight for womens panties is much lower than for mens boxers.FYI:Random light looking panties out of my wife's drawer: 0.8 oz. Random non-underwire bra: 1.6 oz.So, yes, the story for womens underwear is different. Bringing an extra pair of panties is easy, they weigh almost nothing. Bras are a bit more, but still not bad. Only annoyance is the thicker sportsbras or some with the foam cups are slow to dry. "Yes, bag has hood. So balaclava is out and keep buff. I will use this day and night."Always good if you can use one item for multiple things.I didn't see any shell garment. If you leave the button shirt at home you have no rain or wind protection, and unless you treat the merino with Permethrine, no bug protection. If it get's cool in the canyon and the wind picks up( which is almost a certainty in a river canyon) in the evening, you would be quite chilly. A 2.5oz windshirt would make that system a LOT warmer, as well as provide bug protection. If there is a chance of rain then a rainjacket migfht be in order, starting at ~5oz.
Edited by Tjaard on 08/28/2012 12:34:39 MDT.
Yes,I am thinking that might be in order.I do have a marmot rain jacket that works great ... I used it earlier this summer in Yellowstone with my merino wool top as a mid layer. It is quite light and works great.Thanks...btw for the weights you gave.I cut about 40% of Weight out of my ditty bag. I combined first aid and personal items into small rollup stuff sack. It now has pack towel, various bandaids-2 sizes + blister ones, mole skin, pill container(1oz that can hold small baggies of Vaseline, sunscreen, and ibuprofen tabs), knife, wet wipes, small roll of adhesive tape, spare matches, small bottle of anti bacterial hand sanitizer, 1 oz dental emergency pack, 1 oz brush, small travel brush, small travel toothpaste, travel deodorant. Estimated weight at 1.5 lbs.
If you actually think the temps may be near 15-20* just be aware that I have heard a number of reports that the BA Insulated Air Core is NOT as warm as stated down to 15* (I think that there may even be some threads here on BPL about it). Enjoy the trip !
It is not supposed to be anywhere near 15 degrees in the canyon. More like in the 50's and 60's. I have used the air core down to freezing and slightly below...it has been great. I am a side sleeper and it is wonderful for that. I am going to take my La Fuma 30 degree bag instead of the SD. I do know it doesn't keep me warm down to 30 deg....but should be fine for the canyon and it is 6 oz lighter.

This is a great recipe! Many Turkish recipes are very bland because they're incomplete, but this one has it all: the spices, the balance of sweet and sour and the combination of lamb and chick peas. A little bit of yogurt on the side and you're done.flag if inappropriate
Easy, flavorful, and robust. Just lovely! I, too, though, cut down on the chicken broth as I used a high-end cut of lamb (and more of it), so it was tender to start. Left out the potatoes--an unnecessary starch.flag if inappropriate
I took this in a different direction, using preserved lemons I'd made and leaving out the chickpeas and apricot--though that does sound good--and using Aleppo pepper. Totally different flavors but the basic recipe is a keeper.flag if inappropriate
Only found this stew so-so. Not sure I would make it again, although the tart balanced with the sweet nicely. Didn't have the peppers so tried to substitute with paprika + chili powder. As someone mentioned earlier, get the peppers! www.markethallfoods.com/products.php?product=Maras-and-Urfa-Pepper&gclid=CIaSo_KVhLQCFQmCQgodCiQAWQflag if inappropriate
Really good. Couldn't find the special peppers in a special market in Houston. Now I'm on a mission!flag if inappropriate
I made this Lamb stew last night up here in the Rocky mountains. It is a delicious and definitely a keeper!flag if inappropriate
Taking a leaf from several posts regarding this recipe calling for way too much Chicken Stock, I poured 7 cups in large pot and reduced it 50%. This created a more concentrated, and tastier, stock. I think this did the trick as the finished amount was perfect. I also strongly recommend sourcing the Maras and Urfa peppers. WOW. What wonderful spices. A beautiful body warming effect. Very tasty as well. The pops of currants was also an excellent addition to the dish. The only deviation I made was replacing the potatoes with Winter Carrots. Less starch and I found them to pair with this dish very very well. No one missed the potatoes. A superb dish, this one. We'll surely prepare this again!flag if inappropriate
Delicious. Used 4 C of stock and it was plenty. Forgot to add the oregano and lemon before serving and was still delicious. Used Pakrika and Ancho chili powders- yum!flag if inappropriate
I had to make a few alterations since I cooked this rather on the fly, but it came out absolutely incredible anyway. I didn't have any chickpeas or anything apricot on hand so I left those items out. I added about 2 tbsp of sugar since I was missing the sweetness of the preserves. And instead of the peppers I subbed in 1 tsp of crushed chili peppers. I also used homemade chicken stock. This was finger-licking good. I ended up with a thick, rich sauce over the potatoes and lamb and it was heavenly! I'll most definitely be making it again!flag if inappropriate
The result was really nice. We enjoyed the Turkish spices and can use them with yogurt dishes. On thing was that the recipe was a little more difficult than it needed to be. Good:)flag if inappropriate

Here's a review from Shaun, one of our Ride it and Rate it! panel. For those that don't know Ride it! and Rate it! it is a panel of our customers and staff that try out some of our products and then post reviews for others to make informed decisions on what products to use. We send out FREE product to customers to test and get their honest opinion on products we stock. Our suppliers have come to the party with their newest kit to dish out to those that are regular riders and great reviewers.
Shaun is 26, an avid mountain biker who also likes to spend time on his road bike getting out of London whenever he can. He commutes 15 miles a day to work and, at the weekends, can be found out on his mountainbike looking for new trails in Swinley forest, Epping forest and the North Downs. From time to time he likes a challenge, recently completing the Scotland coast to coast multisport event. We gave Shaun some Endura full monty gloves to put to the test, heres what he had to say.
Comfortable, flexible and grippy. These gloves are the only piece of kit I use no matter what kind of riding I set out to do; road or mountain, they are versatile enough to cater to both. In the past it is usually not long before I find holes in my gloves, particularly around the thumbs but after many rides in these gloves they still do not show any sign of wear and tear. Although not promoted as winter gloves, I find they are considerably warm and if your fingers do start to feel the cold the addition of a thin thermal underlayer will set you right. These gloves are great, and for this price you cannot really go wrong.

How do you want to get your free life insurance quotes?
- Policies Issued by American General
- 160 years in business, 13 million customers served
- Over $34 billion in claims and benefits paid
- Committed to helping you protect your family's future
Answer a few questions,
and then compare multiple quotes
from top providers.
Ask the Life Insurance Expert
Will I get a smoking rate for life insurance if I only use e-cigarettes?
Yes, because it all delivers nicotine.
During the life insurance application process, one is typically asked about tobacco use and then the answer is verified with a urine or blood test that picks up nicotine. Because those using nicotine have higher mortality rates, three times higher according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, life insurance providers rate those who smoke as a higher risk, thus, charging higher life insurance rates.
Since the long-term risks of e-cigarettes and vaping are unknown, life insurance companies are hesitant to give a lower rate than someone who smokes traditional cigarettes.
There is research that suggests that health risks are lower for e-cigarettes than with traditional cigarettes since one doesn't inhale toxic smoke that results from regular cigarettes. However, e-cigarettes can deliver higher doses of nicotine than traditional cigarettes.
Only time will tell if e-cigarettes prove to be less of a risk as regular cigarettes and life insurers will lower its risk assessment for those who use them.
