Our community is a better place because of the important partnership of our two organizations.
- Elaine Pihach, Executive Director, Project SHARE
Project SHARE relies on partnerships throughout the community to enable us to provide essential emergency services that help people living below the poverty line with basic living needs.

Americans for Tax Reform
Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) is ostensibly a group that pushes for lower taxes founded in 1985 by Grover Norquist. It has close ties to the Republican Party and has frequently allied itself with the tobacco industry. ATR describes itself as a group that "believes in a system in which taxes are simpler, flatter, more visible, and lower than they are today. The government's power to control one's life derives from its power to tax. We believe that power should be minimized."[1]
|Koch Connection
The Koch Brothers are the conservative billionaire co-owners of Koch Industries. As two of the richest people in the world, they are key funders of the right-wing infrastructure, including the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and the State Policy Network (SPN). In SourceWatch, key articles on the Kochs include: Koch Brothers, Koch Industries, Americans for Prosperity, American Encore, and Freedom Partners.

Ties to the American Legislative Exchange Council
ATR is a member of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).[2]
What is the TAXPAYER PROTECTION PLEDGE?
The Americans for Tax Reform Taxpayer Pledge has essentially two parts. The first part indicates an unequivocal pledge to oppose all efforts to marginal income tax for individuals and/or businesses. The second part consists of an opposition to any net reduction or elimination of deductions credits. Both are required to withstand in the time of a legislators tenure, if he/she agrees to sign the pledge. From the 112th Congressional list, 235 Representatives and 41 Senators have signed on to it. Only three Democratic legislators and one Independent.[3] However, only 219 Representatives and 39 Senators of the 113th Congress signed onto the pledge.[4]
Since 1986, under the Ronald Reagan administration, the Taxpayer Pledge has been utilized in GOP tax policies. Grover Norquist proposed the pledge to pressure other Republican politicians to support with President Reagan's tax agenda. Norquist says, "If you want a politician to make a commitment and want it to matter, it can't be four paragraphs long. I can't have moving parts, you can't remember what's in it." Once Reagan and congressional Republicans signed on to it, Reagan's tax-reform bill passed and the pledge has prospered ever since. [5]
ATR is headed by Grover Norquist, one of the most connected members of the new right-wing movement. He has close ties to the Republican Party, large U.S. business interests, and both the subsidized and regular U.S. media. Norquist helped the Heritage Foundation write the Republican's 1994 Contract With America.
Shortly thereafter, Norquist led a right wing charge to "de-fund" the left, declaring that "We will hunt [these liberal groups] down one by one and extinguish their funding sources." Norquist has also worked as a lobbyist for clients including Microsoft, American Business for Legal Immigration, Distilled Spirits Council, Edison Electric Institute, Interactive Gaming Council, and British Petroleum.

- Jack Abramoff's clients, the Chiefs of the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas and the Coushattas tribe of Louisiana both gave $25,000 in 2001 and AATF received a cut of funds for laundering the money.[6]
Big tobacco companies used Norquist's tax pledge as a cover to lobby lawmakers against cigarette taxes. That was in the 1990s. Now, however, it's questioning that the ATR group still remains somewhat in control of the Republican party. An inside look at the funding for Norquist's group reveals that 66 percent is coming from only two non-profit organizations. The Center to Protect Patient Rights donated $4,189,000 to ATR in 2010, 34 percent of the total amount of funding. Crossroads GPS donated $4,000,000 to ATR in the same year, 32.46 percent of the budget. The staggering amount of money these billionaire-backed organizations donated accounts for well over half the total budget.[7]
In a May 25, 1989, memo to the Steering Committee of Americans for Tax Reform – a document that was curiously found in the files of the now defunct Tobacco Institute – Grover Norquist excitedly reported progress on the 'anti-tax front'. Not only had a swag of member of Congress promised to veto any tax increase, Norquist reported, there had been "three Wall Street Journal editorials highlighting the importance of ATR's pledge campaign in stopping tax hikes".
He also reported that an article in the Washington Times "which kindly quotes an agreement that I will have input into the question of what is a 'duck' – ie tax increase, and what is not".[8]
Gingrich, as Republican whip in the House of Representatives, negotiated an agreement with the then President George Bush to vet any budget proposals. Under the deal, Gingrich would advise on whether proposed revenue raising proposals were in fact tax increases, or 'ducks' as Gingrich termed them. "It is fair to say, in dealing with Darman [White House Budget Director] and the administration in general on what is and isn't a duck, I would lean very heavily on Richard Rahn (chief economist for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce), Jeff Eisenach and Grover Norquist … They have a very good sense of the distinction between ducks and geese", Gingrich said.
"The president has agreed the administration team will consult with the House Republicans and that for my part I will, as whip, in turn consult with these three people regarding the duck test," he said.[9]
Wining and dining with Norquist
While corporate funding for ATR may have been volatile, Norquist had success on another front. In a letter to invitation to PM's Washington-based Legislative Council, Ms Beverley McKittrick, Norquist reported that during 1997, 1997 and 1998 a series of ATR hosted dinner discussions on tax issues had all been sold out. The earlier dinners had featured speakers such as former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, Congressman John Kasich and Congressman Bill Thomas.
Norquist offered McKittrick a subscription to the 1999 series of six dinners – with Congressmen Armey, Chairman Archer and the Speaker of the House Denny Hastert amongst the invited speakers – "for a modest contribution of $10,000".
"Only 24 business leaders will be in attendance," Norquist assured McKittrick. The series of dinners, Norquist wrote, were chaired by Bill Roesing of Seagram & Sons and co-chaired by Chuck Crowders of Lucent Technologies.[10]
By 1999 PM's contribution to ATR had grown to $160,000.[11] The Tobacco Institute contributed another $10,000 in 1999.[12]
In March 1999, Norquist was active lobbying members of the Senate Budget Committee in defence of the tobacco industry. "The Tobacco industry is a lawful industry subject to an excessive tax burden, already 41 cents per packet to state governments for re-imbursement of smoking related illness and over a dollar per pack taxes (depending on the state, some taxes are much higher0. That is already one-third tax burden on a legal product. Furthermore they employ thousands of Americans, which educates, feeds and clothes families across this nation", Norquist wrote.[13]
The following week ATR was claiming to legislators that a Senate Budget resolution seeking to remove the tax-deductibility of payments made by the tobacco industry to settle the legal actions taken against it by State Attorney General's would breach ATR's Taxpayer Protection Pledge. The second paragraph of the pledge, ATR said, required supporters to "oppose any further reduction or elimination of deductions and credits, unless matched dollar for dollar further reducing tax rates".[14]
ATR's role also extended to facilitating the introduction of one Republican political aspirant to RJR. "Bethany Noble from Americans for Tax Reform will be bringing Kevin Kellems (republican candidate to oppose Baron Hill in Ind. 9) by for a brief visit at 3.00 today. Kellems is a tobacco farmer, and has a pretty fair shot at unseating Hill," Donald Foreman, an RJR staffer, wrote in an e-mail to his colleagues.
There was potential for embarrassment however, as RJR had donated $500 to Hill. Despite this, Foreman suggested "this is a race we may want to keep an eye on and see how it look [sic] in a few months".[15]
A 1999 RJR Corporate Affairs plan identified one of the key strategies as being to "mobilize key third party groups (such as Americans for Tax reform, CART, NSA and others) to ensure that RJR's message is effectively communicated, reinforced and understood by key opinion leaders".
"We seek forums, in the media or with third parties who help us fight onerous legislation/regulation, to balance hyperbolic accusations of well financed critics whose credibility with key audiences is greater than hours", the document stated.[16]
Nationalization of Virginia state tax issues
Starting in 2004, ATF launched a national letter writing campaign to persuade Virginia legislators to fight Democratic Governor Mark Warner's plan to raise taxes to maintain the state's AAA bond raising and meet commitments to K-12 and higher education funding, among other purposes. Warner had inherited budget shortfalls from his predecessor, Republican George Allen and had already cut spending to avoid a deficit.[17]
When 34 Republican legislators worked with Virginia's Democratic governor to secure passage, they issued a "Virginia's Least Wanted" poster targeting those Republicans. On April 24, 2005, ATF issued a press release touting those legislators that had signed a pledge not to increase taxes.[18]
On June 15, 2005, after the state primary, ATR issued a press release claiming that "Taxpayer advocates believe the two scalps they claimed last night – those of Gary Reese (H-67), who was defeated by newcomer Chris Craddock, and James Dillard (H-41), who retired rather than face a strong challenge from Michael Golden – are only their latest wins against the pro-tax 'Republicans.' Last September, Sen. Ken Stolle (S-8) was denied a seat in Congress because of his pro-tax vote; anti-tax Delegate Thelma Drake took the seat in Congress instead. In the special election to succeed Thelma Drake, Republican Michael Ball lost by less than 100 votes because he tried to finesse the tax issue."[19]
However, the strategy may have backfired. Both the Dillard and Reese seats, which had been Republican, ended up as Democratic seats in the general election. In fact in the Craddock-Caputo race in Virginia's 67th District, Norquist became a target in the campaign.
Tax and spend ... for war
Shortly after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on New York City, the New Republic reported that Norquist had been working to broker a "strange alliance" between the Republican Party and radical Islam.[20] In February 2003, however, ATR weighed in to support the Bush administration's war drive against Iraq. According to the New York Times, "Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, said his organization had sent every state legislature a proposed measure for adoption the day fighting starts that supports Mr. Bush's actions."[21]
K Street Project is "non-partisan research of political affiliation, employment background, and political donations of members in Washington DC's premier lobbying firms, trade associations, and industries." Ironically, it shares its name with the project by the Republican Party to pressure Washington lobbying firms to hire Republicans in top positions, and to reward loyal GOP lobbyists with access to influential officials. That projects was launched in 1995, by Republican strategist and ATF founder Grover Norquist working with former House majority leader Tom DeLay.
While many of the resources on this site appear non-partisan, there is also a prominent link to Daniel J. Flynn's report on liberal bias in higher education.[22]
Author of Intellectual Morons: How Ideology Makes Smart People Fall for Stupid Ideas (Crown Forum, 2004) and Why the Left Hates America: Exposing the Lies That Have Obscured Our Nation's Greatness (Prima Forum, 2002). The latter is a Crown imprint which publishes conservative, current event titles. such as Flynn, Ann Coulter and L. Brent Bozell III, founder and president of the Media Research Center.[23] Flynn served from 1994-1997 as program officer for Young America's Foundation, from 1997-2003 as executive director of Accuracy in Academia, and from 2004-2005 as director of the Campus Leadership Program at the Leadership Institute.[24]
Ronald Reagan Legacy Project
The Ronald Reagan Legacy Project is a project of Americans for Tax Reform. It is a project to put Reagan's image on U.S. ten dollar bill and to "dedicate more things after Reagan." It promotes a Ronald Reagan Day and naming landmarks after Reagan. [25]
Property Rights Alliance
This group works to influence legislation in opposition to the estate tax,environmental protection, licensing restrictions, Federal purchase of land for national parks and wildlife areas, broadcast requirements for multicssting and drug importation, as well as seizure by eminent domain.[26]
Alliance for Worker Freedom
The "Alliance for Worker Freedom" is a "special project" of Americans for Tax Reform. The name is really a misnomer, as the Alliance opposes unions. At the Web site of the AWF, it says "AWF works to raise awareness of labor union abuses within the political system by educating movement conservatives on the threats to liberty posed by labor unions." AWF opposes collective bargaining.[27] AWF opposes the Employee Free Choice Act.[28]
The Media Freedom Project
The Media Freedom Project was a partner project of Americans for Tax Reform, operating from a now defunct website.[29]
This now defunct project had the mission of providing a "voice to people...in the public policy debates that impact" savings and investments. This included opposition to the estate tax and a "fairer, simpler", e.g. less progressive tax rate. Other former endeavors included, fighting net neutrality, opposing limitations on "grassroots" internet lobbying, extending lower taxes on capital gains and dividends, supporting Samuel Alito for Supreme Court, and supporting the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA).In their words, "Approving CAFTA will reward the democracies in El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic for rejecting the Communists, and will send the message to the region and the world that those who adopt free market policies will prosper, and those who adopt Leftist anti-American protectionist policies will fail."[citation needed]

Scuol and Tarasp-Vulpera
The villages of Scuol and Tarasp-Vulpera effectively form one large resort, although a car or bus is needed to travel between the two. The area owes its popularity to the 20 mineral springs (traditionally used for liver cures), the beautiful surroundings (mountains and dense forests), and the proximity of the Parc Naziunal Svizzer. Previously popular only in summer, the villages now fill up in winter, thanks to skiing on the south-facing slopes of Motta Naluns.
A small town, Scuol has a petite but exemplary Old Town, with five fountains from which you can do a taste-test comparison of normal tap water against spring water.

"Early, even and excellent" are three words being used to describe this year's growing season and the Napa Valley wine grapes that have come from it, reflecting the consistent quality for which this world famous wine region is known.
A warm, dry spring brought early bud break, helped with canopy vigor and berry size and created ideal conditions for flowering and fruit set under sunny skies. With the exception of one heat spike in late June/early July, temperatures were consistently in the zone for optimal vine activity, resulting in notably healthy vines as fruit went through veraison and started ripening.
Watch as winemakers and winery owners from all corners of Napa Valley tell the story of harvest in their own words.
From bud break to bottling, discover what it takes for a grape to become wine that lives up to Napa Valley's reputation for quality.
Celebrate this year's harvest and test your wine knowledge with our free Napa Valley word search and crossword puzzle games.

North Carolina's, Jack of all Trades, is gone for the year. Senior Brandon Tate caught a helmet to the knee during a punt return in the first quarter of Carolina's 29-24 victory over Notre Dame. MRI's revealed a tear in his MCL and ACL, he will undergo surgery to repair them both later this week. Tate has been the motor that kept the heels running, and will be impossible to replace. He was already having a career year and it was his electric moves that got UNC in the top 25. You hate to see a guy suffer such a major injury during his senior year, where he is in his last season to showcase his talents (Which he has a plenty of). As a fan I want to thank him for all of his unselfishness during his days in the Hill. He was a brought in by John Bunting and has been a leader since day one. He was willing to be a running back, wide reciever, kick returner, punt returner, the guy would do whatever was necessary for his team to win. That in itself is a big peice of character these days when you have guys who come into school and tell coaches, "i was a running back in high school, I won't play anything else . . . i was the best defensive player in my town, and thats all I'll do for you". Tate was the exact opposite, and had guys talking this season, that his versatility will launch him to a first or early second round draft pick. And after an injury like this, i hope scouts, and NFL guys won't forget about the guy who totalled 397 yards and 2 scores in the first game of the year. Good luck Brandon, hope to see you on Sundays.

Post subject: Havoc Trooper Rifle
Going a little over a month now I have been slowly building the Havoc Squad Trooper Rifle from the CG trailers. I plan to pull it out of Resin in the end.
The wife and I have been mostly hand sanding and using a dremel on this thing and let me tell you, it has been tricky!
I thought I would share it though!
I am going to try and cast it this weekend. It is basically done otherwise.
It's just painted grey right now for sealant. The final Resin will be black and then painted over an weathered hopefully.
Here is the whole album on my public facebook page
and a little preview..

Spiffy! Great detail work on that.
It looks like it would be very heavy in resin. Any chance for a lighter weight rubber?

I plan to cast the barrel part as a hollow resin so it won't be so heavy. I might look into a rubber if i can figure it out. Any suggestions?

Womens soccer takes on Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Sunday
TULSA, Okla. – The Oral Roberts University women's soccer team is ready to get back on the pitch after six days of training as they host first-year program Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Sunday at the Case Soccer Complex. Start time for the Southland Conference match is scheduled for 1 p.m.
ORU (7-2, 2-0) got off to a hot start in the opening weekend of the conference schedule with a 2-1 overtime win against conference favorite Stephen F. Austin, followed by a 3-0 shutout over Lamar.
Against SFA, Mary-Kate Halsmer scored the golden goal with three minutes remaining in the first overtime, earning the eighth game-winner of her career. Jordan Parsons then stepped up and netted a pair of goals against Lamar on Sunday, while Kayla Keller added the third goal and picked up an assist as well.
Following the victories, Kaily Cox was recognized by the conference as the Defensive Player of the Week.
Entering Friday's schedule, the Golden Eagles were ranked ninth in the NCAA in scoring offense at three goals a match, while coming in at 15th in total points. A big part of that offense is Jennifer Abernathy who is leading ORU with five goals and five assists this season. Keller, Halsmer and Megan Giles are just behind Abernathy with four goals each.
Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (1-8, 0-3) is coming off a 2-1 loss on Friday evening at Central Arkansas. Six of the nine matches the Islanders have played this season have been decided by just one goal, including the first two conference matches as they dropped the opener to Southeastern Louisiana, 1-0, and lost to Nicholls State last Sunday, 2-1.
Opposing offenses have had no problem on the attack as they have taken 88 shots on goal this season. Senior goalkeeper Audrey Baldwin has played well, keeping the Islanders in close matches, as she has recorded 66 saves.
Freshman striker Yvette Franco has been making a case as one of the top attackers in the conference with eight goals in nine matches. The Islanders have netted 11 goals this season.
A victory will give ORU its first 3-0 conference start since they achieved the feat against Summit League competition in 2004.

As she wound down a recent set at Chambers, in Niles, singer-pianist Judy Roberts leaned into the microphone and delivered what has become her favorite new closing line.
"From Amundsen High School at Foster and Damen, I'm Judy Roberts," she proclaimed, to enthusiastic applause.
But considering that Roberts left her hometown five years ago to re-settle in Phoenix, the declaration of her Chicago roots came as something of a surprise. Hadn't Roberts pretty much sworn off this part of the world, returning here only briefly at summertime, when desert temperatures reached the stratosphere?
"Well, it's all getting more and more poignant," says Roberts, in explaining her still-evolving feelings toward Chicago, where she had built her long career.
"My fan base, we're all getting – dare we say it? – older. And I'm thinking, 'This is where it's really at.' Though I'm still trying to do this tale-of-two cities thing."
Indeed, Roberts will be heading west again following her latest farewell to Chicago, with a season-ending engagement Wednesday through Sunday in the city's top jazz room, the Jazz Showcase. After her final set with her husband, saxophonist Greg Fishman, they'll load her stuff into his car and play some West Coast dates before Fishman returns to Chicago and Roberts to Phoenix.
And that will be the last we hear from one of the best singer-pianists this city has produced until next summer, the forthcoming departure evoking plenty of emotion in both Roberts and Fishman.
"We still don't know how to make the two cities work," acknowledges Roberts, whose husband had moved to Phoenix with her in 2007 but returned here soon after. "I have a beautiful scene happening in Arizona, but I have a beautiful scene – with history – happening here (in Chicago), and the history is starting to have more value. It gets more and more important."
That's obvious just from glancing at Roberts' Chicago tenure here these past few summers, for she has extended the duration of her stay each year. This time was the longest, fully three months of music-making in clubs across the city.
The benefits of this long run was apparent to anyone who caught some of the Roberts-Fishman shows, the musicians digging deeply into old repertoire and finding new songs to play.
During that recent evening at Chambers, Roberts performed solo-piano fantasias on music of Michel Legrand, as well as bebop showpieces with Fishman, the two throwing off the fast-moving lines of "Donna Lee" in unison at a remarkable clip. The high gloss of this playing was matched by its spontaneity and excitement.
"When you start playing together that much, the stuff that's familiar gets pushed to the background," says Fishman. "On Day 2, you're at a fresh level of looking at the material – you pick up where the night before left off. Now it's new stuff that's happening."
More new, in fact, than either Fishman or Roberts could have predicted. On one Sunday night at Chambers, someone in the audience requested the little-known Hoagy Carmichael song "One Morning in May." Fishman and Roberts vaguely recalled part of the tune but not the bridge, so during a break they looked it up on their smart phones, listened to a YouTube clip, memorized it on the spot and performed it during the next set.
"No one knew if we'd get through it," says Fishman. "Everyone was cheering when we finished, and it's turned into a big staple of our repertoire."
That's precisely the kind of musical experience Chicagoans have been missing during Roberts' absence and have embraced during her return.
Fishman says he has noticed changes in Roberts' music – a greater focus on playing the piano as well as a significant boost in her left-hand, bass-line work. He hopes the joy of playing together this summer will induce Roberts to increase her time in Chicago, and he's cautiously optimistic that it will.
"Judy keeps coming back and more and more," he says. "I'm trying to get her to split the time more evenly. Or just get out of here in January.
"But she does have a lot of gigs there (in Arizona), and she's got a whole fan base there.
"But it does seem to be leaning that way (toward more Chicago time). It was a good summer."
Roberts says she will leave here with mixed feelings, rewarded by the music she was able to make and the people she was able to see but pained that she'll be cut off again until next June.

Pours a dark brown color with a light off white head and rings of lacing. Aroma is very piney and lightly toasty. In the taste, toasty malts and pine. Pineapple, sap, melon, brown sugar and caramel. Medium bitterness and finishes clean with a small herbal hop bite. Medium bodied and more or less easy drinking. Overall, this is a solid brown ale. Does the job.

Had this on 2012-06-18 at the brew pub in Olmstead, OH (from tasting notes)
A - Mostly spaque dark brown with a 1/2-finger tan head and good lacing.
S - Pretty mild caramel. Touch of hop floral. Sweet. (food odors are present)
T - Nice roasted grain and chocolate with good citrus bitterness. No coffee. Tastes good.
M - Light-medium body and high carbonation Crisp and refreshing.
O - Nice when you want a lighter brown that still has a lot of flavor. Similar to the TBA collaboration.

Enjoyed this on tap at Fat's head.
A: Pours a deep reddish-brown hue with a thin 1-finger tan head that quickly dissipates into a wispy lace.
S: Toasted malt aroma with caramel and chocolate in the background.
T: Flavors similar to the smell as toasted malts, caramel, and chocolate cross the palate with a slightly hoppy flavor.
M: Medium body and minimal carbonation.
O: This is a really good Brown ale – comes in at a strong 7.3% abv yet it was masked nicely by the malts and hops.

The Kansas City Chiefs have released offensive lineman Eric Winston.
Winston confirmed the release in tweets Wednesday night.
Winston drew national headlines last fall after he ripped fans that cheered quarterback Matt Cassel's injury. Winston made it seem that most fans cheered the injury, but many fans said that it was a minority and cheers were for backup Brady Quinn as he entered the game.
As a result, Winston wasn't a fan favorite. But he also was willing to poke fun at the controversy, including on the set with the It's Your Morning crew before the Super Bowl.
"Even though it was an incredibly tough year on and off the field, I wouldn't trade the relationships I made in KC and the overall experience I had for anything," he wrote. "It was an honor to be Chief ... Best in the future. Onto the next adventure!"
He did not directly mention the fans or owner Clark Hunt in his tweets.
This comes as the Chiefs earlier this week under the leadership of new General Manager John Dorsey and head coach Andy Reid re-resigned punter Dustin Colquitt and wide receiver Dwayne Bowe and put the franchise tag on tackle Brendan Albert. The Chiefs are expected later this month to make official a trade with the 49ers for quarterback Alex Smith.
KCTV5's Brad Fanning said the release of Winston clears the way for the Chiefs to draft the player that many think is the best player in the draft: Texas A&M offensive tackle Luke Joeckel.
Winston and Joeckel play the same position.

Governor, state Legislature have misplaced priorities
If the Oklahoma State Legislators and our Governor spent less time interfering in women's rights to manage their bodies, creating ways to lay more taxes and fees on the middle class in order to generate more tax breaks which benefit only the wealthy while also conceiving methods with which to fill Oklahoma's for-profit prisons, they would be doing all of us a favor. Instead, why not work to enhance funding for our schools and wage increases for all school employees? While reforming the state's educational budget, why don't they approve wage increases for our Oklahoma State Troopers and enlarge their Academy to insure qualified individuals are ready to fill the upcoming vacancies as many of the older force retire?
Self government key to keeping politicians in check
Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that federal campaign laws that limit the total amount of money donors can give to political parties, committees and candidates for federal office (U.S. House, Senate, and President) was unconstitutional. The ruling will not increase the current $2,600 limit on how much a donor can give to a federal candidate in each primary and general election or the $32,400 limit that can go to a national party committee. Those limits are still in place. The ruling will instead remove the limit on how many candidates/committees to which a donor can contribute.

so is it free shipping or wat ben ? make up ur stupid mind!
Yeah, it's definitely not free shipping. Cheapest shipping for me was $41. I have this TV and so far I love it. Once I messed around with the picture settings to get them where I liked them, it's been awesome. There's only a couple small downsides I've noticed. Firstly is it only has 2 HDMI. My Samsung blu-ray has an additional 2 HDMI inputs so it's not a big deal for me. Also, there's a tiny bit of flashlighting (light bleeding through) in the corners. It's only noticeable on a black background and you have to look for it. Only time I ever notice it is during letterboxed movies. Overall I would say this is a really good deal for a quality 46" LED.

Monitorix 1.5.0 Introduces MTA Statistics
The Monitorix monitoring software is available in version 1.5.0 and now shows info about the mail server.
The view on the mail transfer agent (MTA) statistics uses data from sendmail, mailscanner and milter-greylist, such as refused connections to the SMTP port, filtered spams and the number of delivered messages.
Developers also fixed a few bugs. Monitorix now allows SENSORS_LIST specification of sensors in an associative array. All in all, configuration options were extended by quite a bit in the configuration file.
Version 1.5.0 is under GPLv2 and available for download from the Monitorix homepage as source code and packages for a few Linux distros.
