Social Security is no longer the threatening third rail of American politics. Until the reforms of the Greenspan Commission in 1983, politicians did not dare fiddle with Social Security for fear of being electrocuted by voters at the next election.
Based on the Commission's recommendations, Congress raised the retirement age and extended the solvency of Social Security for 75 years to 2058. Unfortunately they've been very short years. More reform is on the horizon, and Social Security has few champions.
In 2010, during a rare moment of harmony, Democrats and Republicans agreed to extend the politically popular payroll tax cuts put in place by generous George Bush, who financed two wars and wild Congressional spending with checks from China.
More recently, President Obama insisted on an extension of the extension. Some key Democrats balked at extending a reduction which is adding $89 billion to this year's deficit. After lengthy dissension between and among Republicans and Democrats, the President was granted a vote-buying extension of the FICA tax holiday to the end of 2012, which occurs right after the November election.
What's next? Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa, a Democrat and one of the honorable members of Congress, was opposed to the tax holiday extension for the right reason. He said "Make no mistake; this is the beginning of the end of the sanctity of Social Security. The very real risk is that Social Security will become just another program to be paid for with deficit spending, and then in the future, perhaps raided to reduce the deficit."
Republicans may not be known as Social Security cheerleaders, but they knew when the third rail needed repairs. It was President Reagan who appointed the Greenspan Social Security Reform Commission. Unfortunately the Commission's reforms were seriously negated by the irresponsible spending of George Bush and his no-veto Congress.
As for Democrats, their lengthy reputation as supporters of Social Security is fading.
Mr. Obama and key members of his administration believe too much federal support goes to senior citizens, and too little to social programs they favor, such as Obamacare and food stamps.
Mr. Obama's 2010 Commission on Fiscal Responsibility (debt and deficit), co-chaired by Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson, included more than a few members who were in favor of privatizing Social Security. It was of no consequence, because the President ignored the Commission's work and report.
It was also little noticed that during last year's debt and deficit wrestling match between Congress and the White House, President Obama suggested a plan for major changes and spending reductions to Social Security and Medicare in exchange for new tax revenues. That a Democrat president would suggest such changes to congressional Democrats is a sign of things to come, as suggested by Senator Harkin.
Seniors and aging boomers would be well advised to take a cue from the Tea Party's emphasis on Congress in the 2008 election.
It matters more who serves in the House and Senate than who may sit in the Oval Office for the next four years.

Galaxy Has 1,000 Times Our Rate of Star Formation
Here in the Milky Way, new stars are formed at a rate of roughly 4 per year; that's considered pretty normal for spiral galaxy like ours. But researchers have found a galaxy that's absolutely bursting with new star formation. Instead of our leisurely 4 stars per year, this distant galaxy is generating more than 4,000 new stars a year.
The galaxy, known at GOODS 850-5, is located about 12 billion light-years from Earth. This means that astronomers are seeing the light coming from it at a point when the Universe was only 1.5 billion years old.
All of the star formation in this galaxy was obscured by thick layers of dust, emitted by all the stellar nurseries. This means they're hidden by visible-light telescopes.
By using the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory's Submillimeter Array (SMA) on Mauna Kea in Hawaii, the researchers were able to peer right through the obscuring dust to calculate the rate of star formation.
The irony is that the dust from all that star formation was obscuring the, uh, star formation. Here's Wei-Hao Wang, one of the astronomers who worked on the research:
"This evidence for prolific star formation is hidden by the dust from visible-light telescopes," Wang explained. The dust, in turn, was formed from heavy elements that had to be built up in the cores of earlier stars. This indicates, Wang said, that significant numbers of stars already had formed, then spewed those heavy elements into interstellar space through supernova explosions and stellar winds.
This discovery has come as a bit of a surprise, since astronomers used to think that the most actively star forming galaxies would be smaller and less obscured. Now they're starting to realize that it's actually the big dusty galaxies that form the most stars. We just couldn't see it.
For a galaxy to be experiencing this much star formation, it must have gone through many rounds of mergers with other galaxies. And this is also surprising, considering it's only 1.5 billion years old in the image.

Wow, that's a lot of telescopes. The entire population of the galaxy must be astronomers.
[…]"This evidence for prolific star formation is hidden by the dust from visible-light telescopes," Wang explained.[…]
And those lots of telescopes are dirty ones, too!
The first 2 or 3 comments, by other posters, to this story seem to have disappeared, at least for this poster (1220 EST, 12/20/2007). More serious than my first post above, they all said about the same thing, 'Nice bit of research", which is certainly true. If the results are confirmed by other researchers and are generally applicable, some revisions in our ideas of galaxy formation may be in order.
Fantasic! I never get tired of learning about
our physical universe and beyond!
The Bible describes the
Designer of it as "the true God, Jehovah".
Isaiah 42:5 says: "This is what the [true] God,
Jehovah, has said, the Creator of the heavens
and the Grand One stretching them out; the One laying out the earth and its produce,the One giving breath to the people on it, and spirit to those walking in it."

I predicted that stellar birth rates would be higher in early galaxies. The energy production of quasars is accelerated stellar physics. The effect of gravity varies due to the change in density of systems. Expansion includes the spacetime between the atoms. A denser star would evolve faster with less mass.

"For a galaxy to be experiencing this much star formation, it must have gone through many rounds of mergers with other galaxies. And this is also surprising, considering it's only 1.5 billion years old in the image"
There is almost unlimited evidence indicating that the universe is much older than the Big Bang Model would allow. I you Google "old galaxies billions light". You will see many pages of observations of old red, quiet galaxies also at this same as well as middle age and young looking galaxies at these distances.
Also the density problem is insurmountable. Supposedly the universe is expanding from a more dense past yet all observations at all distances and ages indicate the density of the distant past was the same as the present. How long will it take astronomers and cosmologists to wake up from their long intellectual sleep?
"For a galaxy to be experiencing this much star formation, it must have gone through many rounds of mergers with other galaxies. And this is also surprising, considering it's only 1.5 billion years old…"
This evidence ought to be a wake-up call to professional astronomers, as it clearly indicates that their distance (and hence age) models for the universe – all of which are based on red shift – are wrong. There cannot have been so many rounds of mergers of galaxies in so short a period.
The bland statement "the galaxy, known [as] GOODS 850-5, is located about 12 billion light-years from Earth" is purely supposition, based solely on the red shift in its light. If the assumptions for red shift are wrong (as they probably are, based on the evidence of GOODS 850-5) then the presumed relationship between distance and age in the Big Bang model is invalidated.
It has always been theoretically unsound for the Big Bang model to presume that a galaxy "is" 12 billion years old, merely because it appears to be 12 billion light-years distant. That is the theoretical underpinning of the Steady State theory, not of the Big Bang theory: for our galaxy cannot travel at the speed of light or anything like it (and the Big Bang theory does not even suggest that it can), so if the universe has really been expanding for 12 billion years it must have been only a fraction of its present size 6 billion years ago, therefore the light from the galaxy known as GOODS 850-5 (coming towards us at light-speed) would have overtaken us long ago.
Nor is it clear how it is possible for our galaxy to have travelled a distance of 12 billion light-years from GOODS 850-5 in only 12 billion years, since the recessional velocity of GOODS 850-5 (i.e. the speed at which it is moving away from us) is less than the speed of light.
Increasingly, the Big Bang model is seen to be unsatisfactory. There are too many anomolies in it. If its presumption that red-shift describes both the distance and age of external galaxies is invalid, then the entire model is invalid. Red shift might be satisfactory as a yardstick over short distances perhaps, say within the local group of galaxies, but it appears not to be valid at greater distances.
And the model makes no allowance for the closed nature of the universe, within which the gravitational forces generated by the mass of the universe must be having an effect on light, just as it does on matter. The presumption underlying the model is that light travels in a straight line – something that we know, courtesy of gravitational lensing, is not always the case. But the model fails to allow for this.

BA History with Study Abroad
|UCAS code
|4 Years
|Typical offer
|Cornwall (Penryn Campus)
Our Single Honours History programme in Cornwall offers a traditional basis in British, European and world history, with particularly strong and innovative practices in the latter. We place particular emphasis on using history to understand the challenges posed by globalisation, ethnic conflict and scientific and environmental change.
Equally exciting is our commitment to public history, which gives you the chance to carry out work experience within museums, galleries and similar organisations. You may be working on your own or as part of a team; either way, you will develop skills and gain experience which will help you to compete in today's competitive graduate job market. Work experience may involve activities such as researching and preparing materials for a museum exhibition; documenting and researching collections of photographs, maps, costumes or military memorabilia; writing short magazine articles; or recording oral histories.
As with History at the Streatham Campus, research is integral to all our work, and members of staff are nationally and internationally recognised for their research activities. You will directly benefit from this as our research influences the teaching on our undergraduate programmes. Our expertise is concentrated in the modern period, approximately from 1600 to the present, incorporating social and cultural history, international and economic history and many geographical areas, including the Far and Middle East, Europe and Britain and the Americas. As you might expect from a programme based in Cornwall, we reflect environmental and ecological approaches to history in our teaching as well as the more traditional cultural, political, social and economic aspects.
Programme structure
The modules we outline here provide examples of what you can expect to learn on this degree course based on recent academic teaching. The precise modules available to you in future years may vary depending on staff availability and research interests, new topics of study, timetabling and student demand.
The History degree programme is made up of compulsory (core) and optional modules, which are worth 15 or 30 credits each. Full-time undergraduate students need to complete modules worth a total of 120 credits each year.
Depending on your programme you can take up to 30 credits each year in another subject, for instance a language or business module, to develop career-related skills or just widen your intellectual horizons.
Please note that modules offered are subject to change, depending on staff availability, timetabling, and demand.

For full and up-to-date information on applying to Exeter and entry requirements, including requirements for other types of qualification, please see the Applying section.
Learning and teaching
We teach via a combination of lectures, tutorials and seminars, as well as self-directed learning. Students are also encouraged to use the wide range of web-based course material that we make available. In the first two years, we place considerable emphasis on teaching in small groups, which gives you ample opportunity to participate, as well as providing close contact between you and members of staff. In the third year there are few formal lectures and much of your learning is through seminars, in which the usual format consists of students presenting reports followed by class discussion. You will also carry out a piece of research and write a dissertation on a topic of your choice under the close supervision of a member of staff with similar research interests.
The ambience of the department is one of informality. Members of the teaching staff either maintain an open-door policy for student enquiries, or have a regular set of times when they can be consulted. On day one, you are allocated a personal tutor who acts as a mentor on academic work, as well as sources of advice for accessing wider Student Services.
Assessment is via a combination of written examinations, continuous assessment essays, oral presentations, group project work and a dissertation.
Study abroad
Study Abroad is the opportunity to study at one of our renowned partner universities around the world. Last year over 300 College of Humanities students from all disciplines took advantage of a year abroad in countries across the globe.
All students in Humanities can choose to study abroad as part of their degree. The year abroad takes place in the third year of a four-year degree programme. You can apply directly for the four-year 'with Study Abroad' programme, or transfer from another programme once you are at Exeter.
Why study abroad?
There are many good reasons why students choose a programme with a Study Abroad placement. First and foremost, living and studying in a different country offers exciting new experiences and the chance to broaden one's horizons, academically and culturally. What's more, it encourages you to become more self-confident and independent, as well as allowing the chance to specialise in areas that are possibly not available at Exeter. The willingness to adapt to new environments and to face new challenges are just two of the factors that make students with a Study Abroad degree so invaluable to future employers. For these reasons, amongst many others, Study Abroad is an opportunity that should be considered by all Humanities students.
Where can I study abroad?
Students in the College of Humanities are currently able to study abroad at universities in locations such as Canada, the USA, Japan, Australia, France, Spain, Netherlands to name a few. For a full list of the destinations available, please see our 'where can I study abroad' pages.

Title of Bulletin Board: We All Pull Together
Category: Beginning of School
Suggested Grade Level: K-5
Materials: Construction Paper, Table Cloth, glasses, yarn ball, eyes, pipe cleaner, stars
This board is located in the hall outside of my gym. I built this bulletin board in the beginning of the school year to promote unity amongst all students and staff. Each colored spot can represent a different area of school (grade level, classes, aides, administration, etc.) I used a caterpillar to show how every part is needed to help the other parts succeed at their end goal.
I used a white table cloth and checkered table cloth to represent a picnic table. I used fun items for the face to add character to my caterpillar.
As the first few weeks of school went on, I added pictures to the board to show students in working together in the gym.

Power Your Passion
Check out Power Your Passion for Public Interest Action workshops! See here for the full schedule. All events are free, but you must register in advance.
This activist skills development series was created to help students and community members prepare to take action on issues in the public interest. Training is provided by community members on a variety of topics, from consensus decision-making to publicity and promotions.
Past events: Winter 2017 schedule
Making Connections Week
See here for the full 2017 schedule. Be sure to check our Facebook page for updates.
Making Connections Week is OPIRG McMaster's Social Justice and Environment Week. The event runs in annually September, at the beginning of the academic year, and is also known as McMaster's Alternative Welcome Week.The goal of Making Connections is to highlight environmental and social justice issues, both locally and globally. These issues are significant and require engaged people from all backgrounds, skills and abilities. It is also an opportunity to connect McMaster students — from first year to graduate school — with Hamilton community members. Everyone is welcome to participate.
Past events: 2016 schedule
The resource centre offers a wide variety of fair trade products, from chocolate and coffee to handmade woven baskets. We also host an annual Fair Trade Fest.
Past Programming
Recycle Cycles
Hamilton's first volunteer-run, community-based bicycle repair workshop started with a proposal to the OPIRG Board of Directors in 1997. The need to have bicycle maintenance and repair skills available to Mac cyclists and community members led to the creation of RECYCLE CYCLES, first as a volunteer working group, now as a self sustaining entity. OPIRG McMaster helped purchase tools and equipment, and initial rent in a church basement (Erskine Presbyterian, 19 Pearl Street North).
Alternative Welcome Week
OPIRG had our first "AltWW" in the fall of 2010, made possible by a YMCA Youth Grant to hire a AltWW coordinator. Alternative Welcome Week has become part of the yearly cycle at OPIRG McMaster, offering free events to introduce students and the McMaster community to the dynamic social justice, environmental and arts scene in Hamilton! This is now known as our Making Connections week – be sure to check it out!
Waste Reduction
Student reports identifies the nature and amount of waste generated by McMaster though the findings from a waste audit conducted in 1995.
Organic Community Garden
Plots were available for urban growers to make their vegetable dreams come true – project displaced by the construction of the MoMac Building.
Native Species Garden
Terrace Garden Green Roof
Battery Recycling Organization
The Battery Recycling program at McMaster grew out of the work done by OPIRG's Battery Recycling Organization Working Group started by Engineering students Jennifer Li and Zdravko Simko.
By working collaboratively with the university, a campus wide policy that expanded the ability of the university community to ensure safe and environmentally sound battery recycling was established in October 2008.

The proprietary blend of stevia and coconut sugar in CocoSweet+ gives food and beverage manufacturers greater flexibility to create clean-label, reduced-sugar products with extraordinary sweetness profiles.
Portland, OR (PRWEB) September 27, 2015
Steviva Ingredients has introduced an addition to its line of all-natural, high-intensity sweeteners: CocoSweet+.
CocoSweet+ is composed of coconut sugar, harvested from the blossoms of the coconut tree, and of high-grade, water-extracted stevia. The optimum blend of these two natural sweeteners delivers a full, clean flavor profile with hints of honey or caramel, and a mouthfeel comparable to sugar.
"While stevia may be used alone, it is best used in a combination," explains Thom King, president of Steviva Ingredients. "The proprietary blend of stevia and coconut sugar in CocoSweet+ gives food and beverage manufacturers greater flexibility to create clean-label, reduced-sugar products with extraordinary sweetness profiles."
CocoSweet+ is designed for beverages and sweet baked goods such as cookies and biscuits. Its mild caramel flavor and ability to build viscosity pairs well with flavored dairy, teas and chai.
In addition to its pleasing flavor, coconut sugar has a glycemic index of just 35. Combined with stevia, the glycemic index is further reduced because smaller amounts of sweetener are required in applications.
Another benefit of coconut sugar is a robust nutritional profile. Coconut sugar contains vitamins B1, B2, B3 and B6. Its high mineral content includes potassium, magnesium, zinc and iron. When compared with brown sugar, coconut sugar has 18 times the potassium, 30 times the phosphorus and more than 10 times the amount of zinc. Granulated sugar, it should be noted, is practically devoid of nutrients.
As with all Steviva Ingredients' sweetening system solutions, CocoSweet+ is a GMO-free, allergen-free, kosher-certified food. A white paper, "Tapping into Natural Sweetness with CocoSweet+" is available free of charge by visiting: http://www.stevivaingredients.com/press/Natural_Sweetness_CocoSweet.pdf.
CocoSweet+ is available in 25kg poly-lined boxes and 1000kg totes.
For more information and samples, please contact sales(at)steviva(dot)com, call 310-455-9876 or visit http://www.stevivaingredients.com/products/cocosweet-with-steviva/. Steviva Ingredients will also have samples of CocoSweet+ at its booth, #4312, at Supply Side West on Oct. 5-9 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.
About Steviva Ingredients:
Steviva Ingredients Inc. is a global ingredient supplier with a focus on all-natural, high-intensity sweeteners and custom sweetening solutions for manufacturers. Steviva Ingredients sweeteners and bulk ingredients are kosher and free of GMOs, soy, corn, allergens, pesticides and petrochemicals.

As we have previously discussed the merits of both shows in detail, there is no need to further berate their respective origins as, at this point, it is safe to say the market is certainly large and varied enough to support them both. What was previously still open for discussion however, was the irrational overly competitive zeal, often bordering on animosity, that was perceived to exist between the two (2) shows. It was readily apparent to everyone and most importantly it was apparent to buyers. Buyers. You know, customers. The ones who pay (when they get around to it) the bills, and the ones who are never wrong.
Buyers have asked 'Why aren't the New York shows all on the same dates?', innumerable times as if there is some mythical international show time allotment and planning authority. 'Why isn't there just one big show?' and 'Why doesn't someone do something to make it easier on buyers?' Surely they, the fictitious somebody – whomever they might be – can sort this out and make it easy. Well 'they' finally have and it is with irreverence and immeasurable pleasure I offer this open letter to the rug and carpet industry (of North America).
To whom it may (or may not) concern;
Greeting and salutations. It is with great joy I write to you today to facetiously say 'Thank you!' Thank you for finally resolving your differences, working together, and agreeing to hold the autumn New York Rug shows concurrently. Facetiously because I know this was not out of altruism and concordance but rather due to diligent hard work and an astute poker face. Without regard to the reasoning, I would, if I may boldly assert a position of prominence, on behalf of all rug and carpet buyers and a good portion of exhibitors like to express my most sincere gratitude. This is what buyers want, this is what exhibitors need, it is the only decision that makes sense if the rug and carpet industry is to continue to flourish, and it is most certainly the one that actually '…better promote(s) and expand(s) the collective interests of our industry.' I'll continue (as if that was in doubt)…
We all reference 'The Rug and Carpet Industry' as if it was a finite and easily defined group, over which the aforementioned fictitious 'they' wield control and authority. This is not actually the case; our own disparate and varied raisons d'être alone are enough to dispel that myth, as is that fact that membership is open to anyone willing, or perhaps foolish, enough to produce their own self-made membership card. Perhaps at one time 'The Industry' existed, but for the contemporaneous industry as a whole the strict lines that formerly separated producers, importers, buyers (traders), and consumers, have been replaced by barely visible lines in the sand drawn precariously close to the water's edge. And the tide is about to come in.
Neither show is better than the other and each has their own respective strengths and faults. For example, while wanting to amass and keep company with superior caliber exhibitors is laudable, describing it as 'curated', a perfectly cromulent word well suited to museums and non-commercial galleries, is an anathema that has no place in any industry driven by profit. Similarly, striving to keep exhibition costs low for exhibitors is greeted with welcome and open arms, but asserting oneself as a 'non-profit' is disingenuous considering the point of trade is to… wait for it… make money. It heavily implies the work of organizing a show should be done for free, and if that work should be done for free, should not also importing, and making, and so on, I ask somewhat rhetorically. But I am digressing and this letter is not intended as a diatribe about the unchangeable past but rather praise for what this re-alignment of the shows can mean for the future of this mythical industry.
Just like Neil Patrick Harris' opening number from the 2013 Tony's, it means we can go bigger! Envisage if you will a rug and carpet world equivalent of 'Fashion Week' anchored by the NYICS and The Rug Show, surrounded and augmented by ancillary venues and exhibits. The shows are but a brief nine (9) minute walk (Gasp!) apart, and within that same radius from NYICS lay galleries, The Highline, cute shops, and a plethora of spaces all waiting to host your particular brand of exciting rug event. Jan Kath NYC is literally a two (2) minute walk from the new NYICS location and while exhibiting at either of the shows (pick the one that suits your fancy) makes sense for a vast majority of carpet importers, there are those who have reached appreciable enough size and stature as to warrant their own special event offsite. Think Tamarian and NYICS a few years back. Paired with the historically backed likelihood one (1) or both shows will be at capacity, it's only logical to be situated such that ALL of the excitement is taking place in the same area. As Werner Weber said in 'Iranian Carpet Embargo – The End!': '[The Shows being at the same time and] separated by only a few blocks makes it really attractive.'
But to whom? Clearly it's attractive to Mr. Weber who, as an exhibitor, is seeking to maximize his exposure to North American buyers, but it should also be in the best interest of any exhibitor who wants maximum exposure for their product. As for buyers, this revamped (and hypothesized future) Metro Market Week if you will, has the potential to become the one-stop-shop North American version and equivalent of DOMOTEX with just as much rug excitement and far more urban panache.
Let this be an opportunity to recapture the energy and lore of rug markets past, strengthening the relative position of 'The Industry' against the rising tide of competition not only from outside pressures, but from within. Here's to a successful 2016 and many more years to come. See you all in September!
Thank you for reading,

We all love to save money when we shop and these 24 IKEA shopping tips will help you do just that. Make your next trip to IKEA one where you can take advantage of all the IKEA deals and discounts available by learning what to look for and what to do before you shop.
The easiest way to get access to the most IKEA discounts and deals is to join the club by joining their free rewards program. IKEA FAMILY is the key to accessing exclusive deals for members and is an absolute must if you want to save and many of the IKEA shopping hacks we have listed here are only available for members.
2. IKEA Sweepstakes
Who does not like free money? Once a month, Ikea chooses one IKEA FAMILY member in each store as the recipient of a $100 gift card. To enter, simply scan your card at one of the in-store kiosks during your visit or have a cashier scan it during checkout.
3. IKEA Member Offers
Enjoy monthly exclusive Ikea discounts on a new section of the store each month as a member of IKEA FAMILY. These special member-only prices can be on anything from large furniture to accessories that add a finishing touch to your room. To find out what member-only offers are available in your store, just check the website before heading out or the in-store kiosk once you arrive. Make sure to present your IKEA FAMILY card at the check-out to claim these Ikea deals.
4. IKEA Restaurant Weekly
In addition to the regular monthly offers throughout the store, monthly Ikea deals for IKEA FAMILY members can also be found in the restaurant and Swedish food market. These offers can vary from a discounted family dinner to a $1 breakfast plates. Again, simply present your IKEA FAMILY card to take advantage of these offers. Before you leave, remember to stop by the Swedish food market with your IKEA FAMILY card to take a taste of Sweden home with you at special prices.
5. IKEA Free Dinner
Through the 4th of July, IKEA FAMILY members can earn a free meal when they purchase $100 of furniture. To claim this offer, hand the cashier your IKEA FAMILY card along with your restaurant receipt when checking out to have the price of your meal deducted from the cost of your new furniture. The best IKEA FAMILY shopping hacks are the ones that are not limited by time, but rather are available everyday.
6. Ikea Kids Eat Free
If you have children, one of the best deals available is the Ikea Kids Eat Free deal that comes with your membership in IKEA FAMILY. Plan your shopping excursion for a Tuesday, take the kids with you, and enjoy up to two free kid's meals at the in-store restaurant with the purchase of an adult entrée.
7. Ikea Daycare
Having children with when shopping often means cutting your trip short when they get tired or bored but not at Ikea, where you can take advantage of up to an hour of free daycare while you shop. Better yet, show your IKEA FAMILY card and get an extra 30 minutes free for a total of an hour and a half. Just stop by "Smaland" at the front of the store for more details or to check in.
8. IKEA Free Coffee
Yet another exclusive offer for IKEA FAMILY members: free coffee or tea. Simply pick up a clean mug, show your IKEA FAMILY card to the cashier, and enjoy a free cup of coffee or tea with no additional purchases needed.
9. IKEA Checkout
If you purchase an item with your IKEA FAMILY card, you have automatic price protection included. Your IKEA FAMILY card gives you up to 90-days to request a price adjustment with one of the most convenient policies available. While most stores give the shopper a mere 2-weeks to request a price adjustment when if an item goes on sale after purchase, Ikea gives its IKEA FAMILY members a full 90-days.
Even though being an IKEA FAMILY member provides shoppers with exclusives deals and discounts, the following Ikea saving tips will work for anyone planning a trip or just dropping in, whether you are an IKEA FAMILY member or not:
10. IKEA Weekly Specials
You do not have to be an IKEA FAMILY member to enjoy the benefits of their 5-day weekly specials available throughout the store. To see what products are on special in your location, visit your store's website and then look for the special shelf tags throughout the store.
11. IKEA As-is
Almost everyone remembers their parents searching for "scratch and dent" sales growing up and the "As-is" section at Ikea is your chance to relive those nostalgic memories while saving money on the pieces you need. Found near the checkout counters, Ikea's infamous "As-is" section doubles as their clearance area. In the As-is room, you will find floor models as well as returned and damaged items all marked at up to 50% off their original prices. The "As-is" room is the one place a price-conscious visitor to Ikea must go.
12. IKEA Monday Morning
If you are looking for a bargain, especially if the "As-is" room is your go-to for deals, then you will want to make sure to shop Ikea on Mondays after other shoppers have returned products over the weekend. The bonus here is that Monday mornings also tend to be less busy than Saturdays or Sundays, saving you time by eliminating the crowds.
13. IKEA Handyman
If you are the kind of person who likes to do things for yourself, you have another reason to shop the "As-is" room at Ikea. Just check out the cabinet and shelf area in the section for the parts you need to complete your own pieces, usually at a greatly discounted price. Of course, the selection in this area differs based on the store location.
14. IKEA Last Chance
Ikea's stock is always changing, so if you find a yellow "Last Chance" tag in front of an item you love, buy it. Last chance items are in the process of being discontinued to make way for new stock.
15. IKEA Mobile
If you have your eye on a particular piece of furniture or decorative item at Ikea, you can stay up to date with the events and sales at Ikea by following them on social media. To receive updates on sales and events, sign up for mobile alerts when you "like" the IKEA USA Facebook page.
16. IKEA Missing Pieces
Is your ready-to-assemble product missing some pieces? At Ikea, you do not need to head to the home improvement store to buy replacements, all you have to do is contact customer service to have them mailed to you for free. You can so this by emailing them with your full name, address, transaction information, and the 8-digit product code. You can always call your local store for guidance as well; to save time, try calling early in the morning or in the late evening.
17. IKEA Moving Credit
Whether you are moving locally or long distance, sign-up for Ikea's moving program to save $25 on a purchase of $250 or 2 pieces of furniture. Either one is easy to accomplish when you are decorating and furnishing a new home or apartment. The moving program also saves you time and energy because it is a series of email reminders and calendar alerts to keep you moving forward, organized, and on time while relocating. In addition to the $25 discount, you also get moving advice and more to keep things running smoothly for you.
18. IKEA Co-Worker
Team members, called "co-workers" in the stores, are entitled to a number of money saving benefits, including a discount of 15% off regularly priced items. They are also eligible for the store's "purchasing plan," basically an interest-free line of credit whose payments are automatically subtracted from their paychecks.
19. IKEA Home Delivery
If your trip to Ikea involves a furniture purchase, avoid the delivery fees by borrowing a large vehicle from a friend or relative if you do not own a suitable vehicle yourself. If your city has a good public transportation system, see if there is a discount for using it to shop at Ikea (the Ikea in Portland offers a $10 discount on the delivery fees when you use the MAX system to get there).
There are a number of companies who will deliver and assemble your new pieces for a nominal fee. In addition you can look online on Craigslist or other chore sites to find someone to shop for you and deliver your pieces. Money is not the only important commodity worth saving; time is also important and these time-saving Ikea Shopping Hacks will help you do just that:
Ikea stores are laid out for wandering but the layout is also set up in a way that causes the shopper to stroll through every section, often making impulse purchases as they shop for intended items. However, the layout is also a maze with shortcuts available so that Ikea employees and shoppers "in the know" can slip in and out easily. Some of these shortcuts are through swinging doors and others are simply openings in the walls of connected areas. So, grab a map, learn the layout, and plan your shopping trip to take advantage of these passages and save time on your next Ikea shopping trip. Interesting facts about Sweden and Ikea's products are found throughout the store but here is one about the founder, Ingvar Kamprad. Mr. Kamprad had difficulty tracking items through a more traditional number system because he was dyslexic. In order to overcome this difficulty, he named each department after common Swedish items such as animals, islands, men and women, and more.
21. IKEA Tag Photo
Save time as you make your way through the store by using your phone to create a photo shopping list. Pencils and shopping list sheets are available throughout the store, but you can save time by taking pictures of the shelf tags instead. Better yet, if you make sure to take a picture of the completed item as well, you will be able to compare similar items with a swipe of your finger instead of backtracking through the store.
22. IKEA Exit
Planning ahead is the biggest time saver for a trip to Ikea and you can do so by going online to find the product numbers for the specific items you wish to purchase and then entering through the exit to go directly to your items and avoid those impulse purchases. While you are planning your trip online you can also check the availability of the products at your location to avoid the guesswork and search for alternative items during your shopping trip. You can also save time and money by shopping Ikea outside the store.
23. IKEA Amazon
No Ikea in your area or no way to get your pieces home? Search "IKEA" on Amazon and you will be greeted by pages of items from a simple clothes hanger to lighting products and more listed at up to half off their original prices. If you are an Amazon Prime member, you can use your membership to take advantage of the free two-day shipping to have your pieces delivered to your door.
24. IKEA Gift Cards
Shopping sites like Raise.com means you can save before shopping. Ikea giftcards purchased through Raise are discounted up to 8%, meaning you will save $8 on every $100 even before walking through the door or shopping online.
I hope you take am much advantage as I do with these tips to save yourself money at IKEA……Happy Hunting!

Pre-Radar Transcontinental Airway System
|[Down to Last]
|Post# 860662   1/8/2016 at 01:12 (953 days old) by rp2813 (The Big Blue Bubble)
Remember Airmail? An Airmail stamp cost extra because Airmail was faster than railmail.
In order to make Airmail faster, in 1924 the U.S. Post Office and the Department of Commerce initiated the Transcontinental Airway System. It consisted of beacons and giant concrete arrows 50 to 70 feet long, painted yellow for visibility and spaced about ten miles apart depending on terrain. They guided open-cockpit biplane pilots across 18,000 miles of the national mail delivery network.
The system was built out between 1924 and 1931. The first route, between San Francisco and New York City, generally followed what is now I-80, particularly in the West. Some of these arrows remain, but how many is unknown.
A story that appeared in the paper earlier this week tells of a local pair of arrows and provided locations of some of the 125 arrows that remain in California, along with a brief history of the system. I found it to be a very interesting read.
Does anyone know of arrows that still survive in their neck of the woods?
Below is a link to the article, which provides its own link to a map of the TAS.

I have always been interested in aviation history and this is something I have never read about before. When you stop and think about it, aviation really progressed rapidly thru the first 50 years of the 20th century. I love to watch any old movie that deals with airplanes, airlines, flying or pilots. Those first airmail pilots were very brave. It was a job that was devleloped as it grew. I live right next to the area where the worlds first airmail flight took place in 1911. The flight took a whole day to fly approx. 20 miles from Petaluma to Santa Rosa, CA. The plane is in the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. Anyone remember the airmail stamps with the DC-3 on the stamp? I believe that they cost $.08 in 1960, when a regular first class stamp was $.04.

Great reading on early aviation..Locally aviation historians point out that the blazing glow of the steel mills of Pittsburgh served as a landmark for east-west aviators as well....though I remember a flight from PIT to Wilkes Barre/Scranton years ago where I swear the pilot followed I-79 to I-80 for the trip

There is a wonderful movie about early airmail pilots that rarely plays on TCM. The title is "Night Flight" and it was made in 1933 with an all star cast. The story line is about airmail pilots that need to get a shipment of vaccine, that is urgently needed for an epidemic, to Rio de Janerio by flying over the Andes. It was written by Antione de Saint-Euxpery, who wrote beautiful stories about early aviation. It is really worth watching if you are a fan of early aviation. It is beautifully filmed, and even though over 80 years old It holds up. If I remember correctly there is a scene where burning oil barrels are used to mark a runway for a night landing. When I was in high school I discovered Saint-Euxpery by reading a few of his short stories in an English class. They were so vividly written that I felt as If I could have flown one of these early airplanes simply from reading his intricate discriptions of flying. It gave me a lifelong appreciation of early aviaiton.

That's very interesting, thanks for sharing it. I'll have to do some investigating, being right along I-80 we may still have some arrows lurking in fields around.
There is a short stretch of the original Lincoln Highway (Hwy 30) here in Omaha, now closed to traffic but the original cobblestones are still there and serviceable. There used to be mile markers with original emblems from its construction on concrete posts but vandals made off with most of them. I remember driving on it as a teenager and seeing the mile markers.

To this day I don't know the answer. This day, during a snowstorm, a TWA Constellation and a United 707 collided in the sky over Staten Island, NY. The TWA plane landed in a field, all killed. The UA flight crashed into Park Slope, Brooklyn killing many on the ground by fire and impact. One young boy survived, only to die the next day from burning jet fuel searing his lungs; pneumonia set in. What's eluded me is the fact that the UA flight was twelve miles off-course! I realize that radio/radar wasn't as advanced then as now, but twelve miles? Frightening.

I remember that for many years, maybe even up to the 1979 DC-10 disaster at O'Hare, that incident with the Constellation was still ranked among the top ten worst in U.S. history.
Here's a story for you: A friend of mine used to live off of what is essentially California's main drag, a section of El Camino Real which still exists in a 500-mile patchwork of roadways from San Diego up to Sonoma, and passes through town just a block from where he and I grew up and I now live. This street parallels and is less 1/4 mile west of the runways at SJC.
Late one rather foggy night around 1990, he was outside and heard a large airliner coming in at low altitude -- a few hundred feet -- for a landing. Nothing unusual about that, except that he could tell that it was following the path of this main artery instead of using the proper approach vectors and passed almost directly over his house. He sensed impending doom and then relief, as apparently the pilot or the tower realized the plane was off course and power was applied to avert an impending crash.
That plane wasn't twelve miles off course, but it was heading straight for the campus of a local university, complete with dorm buildings and one of California's historic missions. Of course, this never made it into the paper or the local news media, but I've never forgotten this story and how it might have turned out.

Liked the video of the B 727 flaps,slats,spoilers.Remember this from many 727 rides!For those who like watching airplane wing equipment videos-go to YouTube and look up "Steve vs the thrust reverser"Does show this equipment is dangerous!but neat to watch.He also "checks" the operation of B737 spoilers,too!

A lot of the left over arrows from the old early aviation navigation systems are way out in the middle of no mans land. I think that's why some of them are left. But there aren't many.
There were many air mail pilots killed while operating their routes back then. It was a very risky job. Open cockpit, flying through rain and storms and icing conditions. But many a pilot and even a few airlines got their start flying air mail routes back then. You had to be brave and bold to get the job done. But as we say today there are no old, bold pilots around. And since aircraft back then weren't as powerful as today's aircraft are they couldn't fly way above the mountains out west, they had to fly through the passes. I imagine doing that at night was quite a hair raising event.
For one of my Aviation Safety courses I took in college, I did it on that UA Staten Island crash. The full report is available online for anyone who may care to read it.
The cause of that crash, like other airline incidents, is a series of errors that culminated in a mid air collision. One problem was radar technology was not what it is today. The ATC controllers back then had to take pilot at his word when he reported his position. Secondly, this was during the era where pilots were transitioning from the DC6 & DC-7 and Constellation aircraft to turbine equipment.
Having flown everything from a DC3 to a 747, I'll say that the old prop planes almost have to be manhandled into a correct course compared to the sensitivity of a jet aircraft. Jets are "slicker", fly faster and take a lot longer to slow down than prop planes do. What happened here was that the crew of that UA DC8 had transitioned from a prop plane to the DC8 the year before. And training back then wasn't anywhere near what it is today. Since things happen a lot faster in a jet, you have to keep your mind ahead of the path of the jet to maintain control of it.
That's obviously what didn't happen in this case. The pilots were slowing down the DC8 and had their minds on the slow down process and weren't really thinking of what and where the aircraft actually was at the time of the collision. They thought they were on course, when they were really 12 miles or so off course. They had flown right through the spot where they were to report their position to ATC but weren't aware of it. Combine all this with crappy low visibility weather and there you are, a crash. Quite a number of airline crashes around the 1958-1963 timeframe were because of similar causes.
Flying an airliner today has a lot of built in automation to it, but this only came around in the past 20 years or so. Flying an approach in bad weather is the ultimate in multi-tasking. You have to fly the aircraft, make sure you are on course, run the checklists for the phase of flight you are in, listen to and advise ATC as needed and make cabin announcements as needed while appearing to be perfectly calm! It seems like for about the last 20 minutes of flight your attention needs to be directed somewhere else continuously over and over again.
It can be very hectic.

and "getheritis" are factors that persist today.
Eastern 401...too much focus on a 10 cent indicator bulb
United 173....not enough CRM to prod captain to land NOW.
AA 965...gethereitis, erasing the pre-planned flight plan to hit runway 19 straight in rather than do the usual ILS approach. Loss of situational awareness
AF 447.....night, almost in doze mode when a plethora of warnings interrupts what should have been a normal flight. No one grasped the gravity of the situation until it was too late.
The automation is nice to be sure but the consensus now is that it tends to lull the flightcrew into a "relaxed" mode of sorts, unable to rapidly process information when an emergency arises. Or sometimes there is too much fixation on why the plane is doing something the crew did not anticipate it to do. Or as in the case of Air Inter, a tragic but easily done mistake on the FPA vs the V/S descent.
What has become of basic flying skills? Ya know, stick and rudder?
|Post# 860912 , Reply# 14   1/9/2016 at 17:13 (951 days old) by whirlcool (Just North Of Houston, Texas)
Basic flying skills must still be demonstrated in the simulator. Every pilot goes through a proficiency check every six months to make sure they still have their skills, and how to handle various emergency situations. If you can't pass one of these you get once chance in a retraining class. One more fail and out the door you go.
General Aviation pilots must go through a Bi-Annual flight Review process with a FAA inspector in order to continue flying. It's like taking the test for your license all over again each time.

Notice the lack of pjs and flip flops.
Look at all that swell food!

Yes, it was all real. From about 1958-1978 or so. Back then airline airfares were tightly regulated by the CAB (Civil Aeronautics Board). Everyone charged the same thing between any given cities. The only way airlines could distinguish themselves was by the service they offered. So thinks like steak and lobster and Prime Rib were common First Class entrees in First Class cabins all over the place. Even in coach you'd most likely see a steak and baked potato. Or a wine and cheese tasting setup.
When I was flying for North Central, on our DEN-MSP flights during ski season we'd have specialty drinks like Hot Buttered Rum and our own drink, The Northern Light. Smirnoff & Apple Juice with a twist of lemon. Fresh bread baskets, wine & cheese tastings, etc. It was a lot of fun for passengers.
But in 1978 came the airline deregulation act, and airlines could set their own airfares. And all the passengers wanted cheap. You can't have cheap and luxury at the same time so a lot of amenities went away so the airlines could charge less for the basic fare to be competitive.
And then it became a lot more affordable for people to fly. Not everyone thought they needed to dress up to fly on an airplane. Hence,the shorts and flip flops, etc. But people who wear these outfits aren't aware of the safety issues of such leisurely clothing. In t he unlikely event of an emergency evacuation sliding down an escape slide would not be a lot of fun. Those slides have a high nylon content in their make up and have the consistency of burlap. Try sliding down one of those in a pair of shorts and see how much skin you leave behind! Also clothing offers protection against fire and flame, so what you wear could determine if you get off the aircraft at all! What is the safest clothing to wear while flying? Cotton or other natural material. Maybe a nice pair of jeans and a Polo style shirt. Looks nice and won't start to burn quickly. Plus is appropriate for all cabins on the aircraft.

Its interesting an actual system of visual navigation aids were used to aid the early pioneering pilots. I didn't realise radio navigation came so much later.
OBTW, Ben: That 727 flap sequence was filmed from the ramp of Perth airport - the disaster that happens to be the regional centre of this corner of Australia. If you look around their channel some more - you should find videos of Perth's "Glory Days" where QANTAS 747's, Thai A300's, Singaporean A310's, Ansett F-28's and the like were common visitors.
Nowadays, the most interesting visitor Perth gets is an A380 from the Middle-East - its otherwise a mix of Boeing's and Airbii with about 1/4 of the world's Fokker 100 fleet thrown in for some superb measure.
The other day, Perth got a REAL 747 rarity: a QANTAS 747 with the "5th-pod," which had to make a technical stop due to the limitations imposed by the extra (non-operating) engine on its way to Jo'burg, South Africa to save another QANTAS jumbo.

I was home sick from school that morning and remember when this news came on the TV. I recall some news person remarking on the "aptly named Pillar of Fire Church" which was hit by the crashing plane and was engulfed in flames. A lady who worked in a florist shop told a reporter that when she heard the huge explosion, she thought that the subway had exploded and I wondered how the subway could explode.
I Googled Pillar of Fire Church NY 1960 and there were the stories, one of which I linked.
Another event I remember was the fire at Our Lady of Angels Catholic School in Chicago on December 1, 1958. In the Yearbook we received with our World Book, there was a photograph of the school where so many children lost their lives in something like the disasters of the year section. It made me glad that my schools were single story buildings.

I've also seen airlines "deadheading" engines on 747's by hanging them off a wing too. But I imagine that Qantas has to fly their engines much further out than most airlines and a speed pack would offer much less drag than an extra engine hanging out there on the wing. And less drag equals less fuel used.

And all along thought those engines were shipped by truck or rail.Learn something new all the time.But for Quantas-guess the engine shop is outside of their country.So shipping by rail or truck-long wet trip????So the motor has to go by air.

Problem here had more to do with the fact QF has downsized their 747 fleet dramatically the past 5 years from 20+ frames to about 12 or less IIRC.
This perhaps leaves them quite "short" in spares department if something goes very wrong - since you can't really substitute another 747 if they're all deployed on the network (and remember QF also have the 747-400-ER, which isn't fitted with the 5th pod option from what I've read: The GE engine can be split in two and carried as cargo FWIW).
What happened here was Qantas waited for the flight going to Africa the next day and put the passengers up in a hotel for the meantime. The next plane arrived, the spare engine installed and both flights left to Sydney eventually.
As for the dead engine, per Qantas, there is no need to transport it back in the same manner (no urgency: They've got plenty of spares), and it will be sent via freighting service, e.g. FedEx or UPS.
The repaired plane then carried out a regularly scheduled flight to Los Angeles not long after its arrival into Sydney (with several hrs delay).

Whether you're a current franchisor or a business owner contemplating
launching a franchise program protecting your brand name is much more important
than you may realize.
A business trademark is one of the most important assets that a business has.
Some businesses with seemingly little value have been able to sell their
trademark or name for more than the total value of its remaining assets. In the
case of franchising, a trademark represents the brand that the franchise system
will build and the value the franchisees expect to receive when purchasing a
franchise. In addition, franchisors that seek to export their franchise to other
countries depend upon their brand name, as much as their operating model and
products, to sell master franchise rights. Today more than ever a brand name can
become well know or prominent throughout the world through the Internet,
Facebook and Twitter. This can lead to the theft of your brand.
There are a number of reasons why businesses and franchisors need to protect
their brand and trademark them as diligently as possible.
Simply registering a trademark in the U.S. or in the franchisor's native country
may not be sufficient if the franchise expands or is sold. Franchisors would be
wise to contact their trademark attorney and discuss the possible need to
further protect their brand.

Dr Russell Barkley ADHD Intention Deficit Disorder
The Accurate Source To Find Quotes To Dr Russell Barkley ADHD Intention Deficit Disorder."
[Dr Russell Barkley ADHD Intention Deficit Disorder]
[Dr Russell Barkley:] Source: LYBIO.net
ADHD is attention deficit disorder – it is blindness to the future.
It is myopia towards the upcoming future events. You are nearsighted time. Which means that a child and an adult with ADHD will wait until the future is imminent! And then they will try to deal with it.
But as long as the future stays out there, I do not have to deal with that. The closer it gets the more I'm going to organize toward it, but I can't really do much about it until it's the eleventh hour!
And then I will race around, trying to slap things together in a slapdash manner to get it done.
ADHD creates a nearsightedness to time, so that the person with the disorder cannot organize to the delayed future, but only to the imminent future. And so everything in life becomes a crisis. But the crisis was avoidable and no one has any patience with this because they see this as a moral failing: "You could've chosen to get ready, but you didn't". It is phrased as a form of laziness – "this layabout, near-do-well, carefree, careless attitude, that you could change if you wanted to", right? But we know it as the executive failure it really is. This disorder precludes you from organizing across time.
So you live in the moment and you cannot organize very large hierarchically sequenced behavior across time. It means that future directed behavior is intentional behavior which means ADD is actually IDD, Intention Deficit Disorder. I don't seem to be able to accomplish most of the things I intended to do. You can call that a short attention span but I think Intent Deficit Disorder captures it much better.
[Dr Russell Barkley:] Source: LYBIO.net
Now, the frontal lobes, the executive system is where you take what you know and you apply it in your daily life. It is not where you know something, it is where you use what you know. The back part of your brain requires knowledge, the front part of the brain puts it in play. ADHD has separated these two like a meat cleaver. So it really doesn't matter what you know, you can't use it as effectively as other people can.
ADHD is a performance disorder. You can't perform the things you know how to do. It is not a knowledge disorder. Most of people with ADHD know about as much as anybody else from their neighborhood with their education, in that school, at that age, but they can't use it. Not to anywhere near the degree of effectiveness of others. So people with ADHD know what to do but they can't do what they know.
One of the things we have known in neuropsychology, is if you wish to treat an executive disorder, a performance disorder, the only way to treat it, is to change the point of performance. The point of performance is the place out there in life where you should be using this knowledge and for some reason, you can't seem to do it.
So all treatment must be at the point of performance and if it's not, it won't work. No amount of treatment done away from that place will solve that problem. Only changing that place will solve that problem. You have to restructure the environment to help them show what they know.
[Dr Russell Barkley:] Source: LYBIO.net
So what does this mean?
It means a teaching skills as a waste of time because they won't be used. Skills are knowledge, and these people already have most of the skills anyway. But even if you teach them new ones, the likelihood that they will get implemented is pretty slim.
I can hand any adult a list of time management recommendations, and I can guarantee you that most of them will never get used. In fact the paper will be lost on their way home because it will blow up under the front seat of the car, and then you'll forget that it's there. Or if you do remember that it's there, you'll tape it to the refrigerator but you won't look at it and if you do, you'll say 'you know I really should be doing those things'. These are really cool things. This is what I really need help with. And then you'll just go about behaving impulsively anyway. And you'll come back and say, you know Dr. Barkley, those were great ideas, did you do them? Well I'm working on that point. Boy, I find that hard to – you know what I am talking about, this is not a knowledge disorder, it never was. It's a problem with using what you know. And no sheet of paper corrects performance disorder.
Dr Russell Barkley ADHD Intention Deficit Disorder. So people with ADHD know what to do but they can't do what they know. Complete Full Transcript, Dialogue, Remarks, Saying, Quotes, Words And Text To Dr Russell Barkley ADHD Intention Deficit Disorder.
