As a young refugee, it can be difficult to navigate the educational system in a new country. To provide more information about applying to college and life as a college student, the University of St. Thomas held a College Orientation Day for high-school aged refugees through the Partnership for the Advancement & Immersion of Refugees (PAIR) on Nov. 12.
PAIR was founded as a club at Rice University to respond to the needs of local refugee youth, who have been displaced by conflict and are unable to return to their home countries. Now a non-profit organization, the Global Leaders program of PAIR, meets on a weekly basis to prepare high school-aged refugee students for success in high school and beyond with academic and career planning, SAT preparation, college essay writing, job interview skills and composing a resume.
UST student Jaime Sepulveda, a senior International development major, began volunteering with PAIR this semester, and was invited to help organize the College Orientation Day at UST.
"I was drawn to PAIR for the opportunity to volunteer in a multicultural environment," Sepulveda said. "In just a short time, I have built great relationships with the middle school youth I work with in an afterschool program, and I was honored that PAIR asked me to arrange for the COD to be at St. Thomas."
The College Orientation Day included an overview of admissions and tips for the college application process from Arthur Ortiz, UST director of freshman admissions. It continued with a student panel comprised of current UST students of different majors. Washington Massaquoi, an MLA student from Liberia studying International studies, also addressed the youth about being a foreign student in the United States, the phases of culture shock and good study habits.
For lunch, the youth experienced eating in a college cafeteria in the Celt Marketplace, and afterwards, toured the University, including the Guinan Residence Hall and the Jerabeck Gym.
"I truly believe in the mission of PAIR and feel that it is really great to encourage youth to start thinking about college early," Sepulveda said. "The College Orientation Day was made successful through the help of many student volunteers and UST faculty and staff."
Through afterschool, weekend and summer programs that support refugee youth from when they arrive in Houston to the time of their high school graduation, PAIR allows refugees to pursue an educational path that will improve their quality of life and fully develop their potential.
Nicole Ellis, the Executive Director of PAIR said the orientation day provided refugee high-schoolers a glimpse into the life of a college student.
"We hope that it will motivate them to pursue higher education and realize their dreams in the United States," Ellis said. "We are grateful to the entire St. Thomas community, its energetic students, the Center for International Studies, the Admissions Office, Food Services and many more, for helping to make our College Orientation Day a success."

A lot of truth in the message.
Little Mary Pat had a box of very small kittens that she was trying to give away, so she had them out on the street corner with a sign "FREE KITTENS" next to them.
Suddenly a big line of big black cars came up with a policeman on a motorcycle in front.
The cars all stopped and a tall man stepped out from the biggest car.
It's Senator Obama.
"Hi, little girl, what do you have there in the box?" he asked. "Kittens" Little Mary Pat says. "They're so small, their eyes are not even open yet."
"What kind of kittens are they?" he asked.
"Democrats" says Little Mary Pat.
The tall man smiled, returned to his car and they drove away.
Sensing a good photo opportunity, Sen. Obama called his campaign manager and told him about the little girl and the kittens.
It was planned that they would return the next day, have all the media there and tell everyone about these great kittens.
The next day, Little Mary Pat is standing out on the corner with her box of kittens with the "FREE KITTENS" sign and the big motorcade of black cars pulled up with all the vans and trucks from ABC, NBC, CBS, BET and CNN but no FOX for some reason..
Everyone had their cameras ready and then, Sen. Obama got out of his limo and walked up to Little Mary Pat.
"Now, don't be frightened," he said, "I just want you to tell all these nice news people just what kind of kittens you're giving away today."
"Yes sir," Mary Pat said, "The are all REPUBLICAN kittens."
Taken by surprise, Sen. Obama said, "But yesterday, you told me that they were DEMOCRATS."
Little Mary Pat says, "Yes, I know. But today, they have their eyes open."
A lot of truth in the message.
If you want more gun control, use both hands.
i just wish the rest of america would open their eyes like those kittens, and do some research, and realize that, the democratic nomonee running is not black, he is muslim, he is not democratic he's comunist, the change he seeks for america is to disarm us so his terroist friends can carry out their agenda and the "sheep" of this country not be able to fight back. just rember muslim terrorists embed themselves in society and become "good AMERICAN citizens" until thier agenda comes up on the schedual. he's muslim, has ties with known terrorist and he is no different. anyone that lies/back peddles/ and bullshits as much as that man should not be trusted.
I sure do like Little Mary Pat.
Your in my Mind, and in my Sights
got to love it

Among deaths in 2013, some left their legacy, while others left too soon
By MICHAEL COUSINEAU
New Hampshire Union Leader | December 28. 2013 10:29PM
Some left their mark decades ago. Others too young were cut down at the hand of others.
Former Union Leader sports columnist Joe Sullivan, 69, of Manchester shared his wit and grace in his sports column, dubbed "Column as I See 'Em."
Manchester and Keene lost former political fathers.
. Harold Burns, 86, of Whitefield, who served as speaker of the House in Concord from 1991 to 1996. The state named a bridge over the Johns River on Route 3 and Route 116 in Whitefield as the Burns Bridge, recognizing several generations of the Burns family for their civic and military contributions.

Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone makes Boba fett metal armour? i have an awsome helmet, but someone took my cash and ran with the rest of teh suit they were making me. So i figured that the next one should be metal, and it would give it a more unique sound when i clobber people with the gauntlets. Who said that??? just kidding guys.Anyway, if anyone knows where i can start, that would be a great help.
Oh and details on someone who paints really well would be good too. i have the painter's version of a green thumb, the dreaded smudgy brush syndrome.

In this episode I speak to Sallie "Penny" Chisholm, the Lee and Geraldine Martin Professor of Environmental Studies at MIT. Dr. Chisholm studies photosynthesis—the way life harnesses the energy of the sun. Plants carry out photosynthesis, but so do microbes in the ocean. Dr. Chisholm studies the most abundant of these photosynthetic microbes, a species of bacteria called Prochlorococcus. There are a trillion trillion Prochlrococcus on Earth. Dr. Chisholm researches these microbial lungs of the biosphere, and how they produce oxygen on which we depend.
Along with her scientific research, Dr. Chisholm is also the author of a new children's book, Living Sunlight: How Plants Bring The Earth To Life.

Well all here is an update to what I have going on. I just got done with my boots and my girthbelt (minus the nylon straps which I still have to track down). I followed the weathering steps posted by Spideyfett (great tutorial btw!!!). I went darker though based on this being an ESB Fett and they always looked a bit darker to me. Also put on the Mojo spikes (awesome!!) which I will need to weather, any ideas on the best way to do that?
The girth belt was done with latex stain. It is hard to get a good picture of it but the color is a rusty brown/red. Ill have to see how it turns out once completely dried. May require a second coat of stain or some dusting with another color to get it just right.
On to the pics!!!

It's long out of print and hard to find, but "path to savagery" by robert edmond alter is a great novel about survival after the big event.
I'm trying to put together a list of books for my wife to check out at the Library for us to read. I'm interested in some good books that have a good story line, but also teach a little something. Books like "One Second After" and "Atlas Shrugged", "1984", "Behold a Pale Horse", etc.... Any others along these lines that I should add to my "must read" list? Thanks for any input.
BBill- what was the book you sent me? I was waiting for the second part to come out, and now I can't remember what part one was, or the name of the author.
Enforcement, NOT Amnesty!!!!!!
"If theyre going to come here illegally, apply for & receive assistance through a corrupted Government agency encouraging this lawless behavior, work under the table & send billions of dollars each year back to their families in Mexico, while bleeding local economies dry, protest in our streets waving their Mexican flags DEMANDING rights, while I have to press 1′ for English, then they need to be shipped back to where they came from!" -Chad Miller

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.", Edmund Burke
I'd like to recommend three that any responsible hunter or gun owner might also like, all by Donald Hamilton:
"Assassins Have Starry Eyes" (also released as "Assignment: Murder", which came out in 1956. The web said it was reprinted in 1965. It's about a mathematician at Los Alamos, who survives a murder attempt while on a hunting trip. Then he finds out his wife was involved with a subversive organization linked to the Communists, loses his security clearance, and placed on "administrative leave." As the book progresses, he is forced to make a choice between national security and his wife.
The book was written in the days of HUAC and the Red Scares, one of the hotter phases of the Cold War, the time when the the FBI decided Robert Oppenheimer was a security risk. However, the protagonist is from an older, pre-war mindset. I first read this one around 1975; my paperback copy is brown and crumbly and had been glued and taped together over the years. I liked the story when I first read it, but I couldn't fully understand it until I got a handle on how people thought in, basically, my grandfather's generation.
"Death of a Citizen" is from 1960. It was the first of what eventually became the Matt Helm series. That said, forget everything you ever saw on the movies or TV, because the only thing Hollywood kept was the name.
Matt Helm was in his mid thirties, had a wife and three kids, a mortgage, and made a living writing westerns and travel articles. When he and his wife were at a cocktail party in Santa Fe, he is approached by a woman he had worked with in WWII, when he had been part of a small, secret assassination group. The woman tells him he has been re-activated and needs to take out an enemy agent operating in the area. When Helm finds out that his former co-worker had switched sides and was now working for the enemy, she has his three-year-old daughter kidnapped as a hostage to force him to carry out the assassination.
Having gone through the same training Helm did, this was a particularly bad idea. Helm writes off his daughter as lost, turns his truck around, and goes hunting some Commies, because the instructors had trained them to never, ever play the hostage game...
"The Intriguers" is from 1972. After Helm's wife disapproved of some rather spectacular interrogation and slaughter he had performed with his pocket knife while recovering their daughter, Helm had gone back to work for his former outfit, which had made the transition to peacetime spookery. Helm is theoretically a counter-assassin, though mainly used as a troubleshooter. This book was riffed some of the upheavals in the intelligence community in the early '70s, and the Kent State riot in 1970.
This book isn't as easy to synopsize as the first two, mostly because it's a lot more complex. There's some really nasty infighting between rival intelligence outfits in DC. Helm is driving across the country, finding and alerting members of his outfit who can't be contacted by phone. One of them had a daughter who was shot by the police by accident while in a student riot. Her father, a trained assassin, is stalking the sheriff who ordered his men to shoot into the crowd. Helm has to locate him, persuade him to set aside his vendetta, and take care of some other work first.
In one scene, Helm suspects the rogue agent (Janssen) will be targeting the local sheriff next. Helm sneaks up on a low ridge near the sheriff's house toward a likely sniping site. Which is already occupied. Helm jumps him, and finds out it is the 72 year old grandfather of another girl who had been killed by "accidental" fire. Helm has a female passenger along with him on the trip; when she questions what the old man is doing out there, Helm says,
"Miss Borden," I said, "allow me to present Mr. Hollingshead, of Bascomb, Kentucky."
"Hollingshead?" She frowned briefly. "Hollingshead! That was the name of one of the students who... Dubuque, Hollingshead, and Janssen."
"Right," I said. "Apparently, Mr. Hollingshead is another of those perverted oddball characters you object to so strongly, who resent having their kids shot. At least I can't think of any other motive that would bring him clear from Kentucky and put him on the ridge above the sheriff's house with a loaded rifle."
Later, Helm is speaking with the sheriff:
He drew a long, ragged breath. "If the bastard is yours, you ought to keep him in a cage."
"Shit," I said. "Don't tell us what we ought or oughtn't, or we'll just tell you that you oughtn't to go around shooting people's kids, Sheriff. Sometimes it makes them real mad."
Again, a different time, and ways of thinking that were not politically correct even then.
Anyway, these can all be found used for a few bucks on Amazon, and at least one of them has a Kindle edition if you're into that sort of thing.
"Highly recommended" by TRX...

J W Rawles is good. Matthew Bracken is pretty good also. Hey Chris...was it the one where all the power goes out?
TRX, those three sound really good. I know it kind of violated the Constitution, but I feel like had they continued with the HUAC and purged America of those who wanted to change it, we'd be in a much better place now.

A friend of mine was digging through his parents attic and found this old gem (apparently his older brother had it taken away from him a while back). It basically needs new o-rings and such, possibly a new bolt (not certain here). Anyone have any idea how to get this baby into tip top shape after sitting for 6+ years.

ReGenesis is an award winning science drama produced by Toronto's Shaftesbury Films that centers on the fictitious North American Biotechnology Advisory Commission. NorBAC's special operations team, headed by the brilliant but unpredictable Molecular Biologist Dr. David Sandstrm (Peter Outerbridge) and supported by a cast of forensic specialists and CIA operatives, investigates new strains of disease, genetically modified bacteria, and potential bioterror threats or agents. In essence, the show is about microbial forensics and the lives of the people who work in and around the lab.
ReGenesis is also one of the first dramas to feature full media convergence and was recently awarded with the 2007 International Emmy in the Interactive Program category and the 2006 Gemini Award for Best Cross Platform Project. Visitors to the website can tour the NorBAC laboratory, partake in the laboratory's problem solving, and get insight into each episode's health and science issues by getting the "Facts Behind the Fiction" and ""Science and Society" fact sheets, where episodic drama is analyzed by leading scientists compliments of the Ontario Genomics Institute.
The series launched in the US in September 2007 and can be seen on television stations affiliated with ABC, Belo, CBS, Granite, Fox, Hearst, LIN TV, and the Tribune and Young group. ReGenesis is set to become the first complete, original HDTV series offered for weekend syndication. To watch ReGenesis in your area, please check your local listings.

|Skied up easy side years ago while skiing all over the area. This is another area perfectly suited to backcountry skiing: lots of open, arctic-like rolling terrain, and dryer snow. It also unfortunately suffers from trespassing by snowmobiles on occassion, especially over toward the east near Horseshoe Basin.

Date Climbed: Aug 8, 2011
|My daughter and I climbed the N Ridge route (beginning from Cathedral Pass) and had a pretty good time - the route finding wasn't always clear, and the pitches were often very short, with some potentially loose boulders, but we had fun and encountered up to 5.5 climbing in a couple of spots. The best part was topping out and exploring the long South ridge (main summit and beyond) for a couple of hours. It is a beautiful mountain. The worst part was seeing the horse damage to the alpine meadows on the descent (we hiked out down the main ampitheatre to the SW and around to Cathedral Lake and Pass on the main trail) - I was shocked to see people ride their horses into such a fragile zone, and then don't even stay on the trails...

Just got a P99c .40 AS. Today I noticed there was some free play in the trigger pull. When it is decocked and in DA mode, the trigger has a slight play in it before resistance is met. Is this normal?
edit: I also noticed the same free play is present in SA mode.

As always, just sharing things here on the Iron & Air Journal that makes us tick.

Despite marvels in building technology, and novel new designs to building exteriors, I find we are living and working more and more in cubical structures. Be it driven by functional design or a need to build spaces that can easily evolve for different use over time, our offices and homes are more often than not defined by four walls and a flat ceiling.
After visiting several of Antonio Gaudis buildings in Barcelona I was inspired by his innovative designs inspired by the natural world. Using conventional building materials of the time he was able to redefine what was possible. Today, innovations in building materials have revolutionized what is possible and we are seeing modern marvels and inspiring structures being constructed across the worlds leading cities.

Well, I downloaded full version of GO from the website.
I ran the application and the InstallShield thing came up and said that it was going to install Ghost Online. When I press next, the whole window freezes. I tried re-starting and re-downoading but it didn't work. It just freezes and does nothing. I've tried waiting for a long time. But when I open task manager it says it's running. So, has anyone ever experienced this and fixed this? If they have please tell me how to fix this problem, I really wanna try this game.

By Cathann A. Kress, Vice President for Iowa State University Extension and Outreach
Transformations in agriculture and education are risky, but they provide the opportunity for unprecedented innovation. Abraham Lincoln understood this 150 years ago when he signed legislation to create the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Our nation was at war on May 15, 1862, but Congress and our President recognized the need to transform American agriculture. Barely two months later on July 2, they pointed American education in a new direction when the Morrill Act became law, establishing the land-grant university system.
President Lincoln asked our nation to "think anew, and act anew" to solve the monumental challenges of the era. Thanks to that new way of thinking, the connections and partnerships that have flourished because of USDA and land-grant institutions like Iowa State University continue to have far-reaching impacts on quality of life.
From June 27 through July 1 and July 4-8, the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington, D.C., will celebrate USDA's heritage as well as the land-grant university legacy. Demonstrations, discussions and hands-on activities — including an exhibit from Iowa State — will show how we provide access to education and put research into action for agriculture and food, health care, sustainable living, and urban and rural revitalization.
Iowa was the first state to officially endorse the Morrill Act, and we're proud to be part of this national celebration. We will bring Iowa State's exhibit back home to Iowa for viewing later this summer.
These types of milestones encourage us to look reverently upon our history. But is what we revere still relevant? Yes — because it makes a difference today. USDA continues to partner with land-grant universities, finding innovative approaches to solve today's issues and anticipate tomorrow's challenges.
Iowa State's Smithsonian exhibit shows how the College of Design and ISU Extension and Outreach apply creative problem solving to find innovative solutions to communities' complex challenges. The exhibit also demonstrates how USDA contributes to the partnership. Consider the People's Garden School Pilot Program and the Midwest Grape and Wine Industry Institute.
In partnership with USDA, ISU Extension and Outreach and extension services in three other states are developing and running a pilot gardening program with schools. The People's Garden School Pilot Program establishes community and school gardens that bring neighborhoods together for a common cause. Thousands of students in elementary schools in urban, suburban and rural communities are learning about nutrition as they also plant and tend gardens. With soil on their hands, they may be inspired to find solutions to challenges facing our country — from hunger and obesity to the environment.
Although Iowa is relatively new to wine making, the state is home to 101 licensed wineries and more than 300 vineyards. Successful wineries and vineyards have the potential to add to the state's economic growth. The Midwest Grape and Wine Industry Institute was established at Iowa State to offer a full-range of services and resources to new and established grape growers and wine makers.
The institute conducts research on grape varieties that can grow in Iowa, as well as on the best processes to make wine from those varieties. It also trains extension specialists to offer outreach, and partners with community colleges to develop job training. With a recently awarded USDA grant, the institute is working to help colder-weather states like Iowa overcome obstacles in the vineyard, winery and tasting room and also improve tourism.
In Iowa and throughout the United States, USDA and land-grant institutions continue to transform and innovate. We're educating our people and putting research into action — proving that Lincoln's charge to "think anew, and act anew" still makes sense today.

Congrats "Fortypickup" January Art Contest Champ 2009
One of the highest vote counts ever and we have a winner with Fortypickup's Vector Illustration 39 Ford. This month was an "anything goes in the nines" theme based on the year ending in "9" of any vehicle the artists chose. Fortypickup earns this months choice of choosing a vehicle or a theme to begin Februarys Contest. Lets all give him a hand Guys !!
The One, Two, Three punch comes as a surprise where almost all the art styles took a spot, From Fortypickups extremely detailed line art to illustration that many think is one of the hardest and most regarded forms of rendering to "5 speeds" on paper sketch of a "49 Ford Tudor", your standard take out the pad and flat out draw something, to 57 Corvettes photography / illustration mix of a "29 Packard" which involves many programs and images involved with precise blending and use of layers to make a final product.
The diversity of all the artists work shows still that today, anyone can make an impact with art.

49 plymouth
Thanks for the info home brew. Makes a lot of sense. I know the plymouth is a whole lot closer to done than the pontiac is, but you make some good points. Thanks for pictures also. Thanks Rod
|home brew
Both of those cars are definitely not your everyday sightings. You will have trouble finding parts for both of them. When it comes time to sell the Pontiac MAY be easier to sell because it is pre 48.
You have to look at what your budget and decide what you can do and what you will have to pay to have done. Hand fabbing panels to repair rust will cost you quite a bit of money. If you and your son want to buy some DVD's and do some research or take some classes you can learn to do that yourself and save a lot of money and do quite a bit of bonding along the way. Most teenagers are not willing to invest the time needed though. The Plymouth will not need the body work but will still require a lot of parts searching. You may want to find a Chevy or Ford as a first project together as they will be easier and quicker to build.
But if you do decide on either the Pontiac or Plymouth you could end up with a ride that is very unique like these. Good luck and let us know your decision.

49 plymouth
Hope I am in the right place for this question. Here goes. I have a 38 pontiac tu-door sedan that is pretty rusty, but has about all parts to it. I can't seem to find any body parts (rocker panels, quarter panels )and such for it. This guy has 49 plymouth tu-door fast back that is in pretty good shape. No major rust, glass is there, has 9" ford rear, whole lot less work than the 38 ponti. I am building this project with my son, which neither of us are experienced at all. Do you guys think the 49 is as desirable a car as the 38 or how do you feel? By the way I can swap for no money. Let me know how you guys feel about this. Thanks, Rod

The transfer window always brings Arsenal fans to the same cross street.
On the one hand there is our steadfast philosophy of building talent and on the other hand there are those who want to 'buy a big name'.
I agree it's a difficult intersection to navigate, but as the chief executive of our Club articulated on Fox Soccer Channel, we are a club that builds brands and players. We don't invest in saturated talent that requires over-paying for value. I don't think he could have been clearer. We value value.
Yes, we fans long for a name that will give us huge press, dent our bank account, but I don't know of a club that is more in line with what they say and what they do.
Our philosophy is true, it is honest, it is passionate. It has an element of David vs. Goliath and I think that's what makes our passion for Arsenal even stronger.
And to complicate matters, we were looking for value in the January window - a place where it is almost impossible to find the kind of value we seek. So, we can hope, we can long, but value is what will win in the end. Literally.
Keep the faith.

Ranting: Property Values
February 23, 2005, 09:53:54 AM »
I may scrape across somebodies nerves here. Really don't mean to do that. But I think the property value hype is over rated. Or perhaps I just look at it differently than others.
I have seen/known people that poke their noses in everything their nieghbors do/have on their property. Why? Because it affects their property value. HUH???
I have property. I could care less what the guy next door does as long as he doesn't blow up my house when he makes a misstake. My property has no value as I do not intend on selling it. Why would I care what someone thinks it is worth. The way I see it is the more it is worth the more taxes I have to pay. We'll shoot fire, if someone wants more of my tax dollars then why don't they come over here and work on my property to beautify it and make it worth more. Why should I work hard to make it look nice and be charged for my efforts? Legal robbery is what it is.
Who determines what a property is worth? Some government agency? Who do you pay your taxes to? Some government agency. Isn't there a conflict of intrest here?
What brought this up you might ask. I heard on the radio this morning that properties in Lubbock had been under valued by millions of dollars. Hummmm. Wonder if they just figured out a way to get more tax dollars for school funding, and to pay for all this road work they have been doing.
But some of those people that worry about what their property value is, is probably celebrating the fact.
Now I could see taxes on property when it is bought/sold, and yes you do pay taxes then. But where is the justification of taxes every year on the same property owned by the same person. Sort of like paying rent don't you think?

Sort of strange I started this yesterday and then last night I heard something that fit right in to here.
I'm sure you've heard of Habitat for Humanity. A bunch of construction contractors donates their time and others donate materials and money to build houses for low income people. Affordable housing.
Last night on the news these people in thise houses can no longer afford to live there because of higher property values, there for higher taxes. And their insurance keeps going up up and away.

Yep, I agree. And let me add to your rant and complain about building permits. A friend of mine, one county away, built an overhang off his garage to provide some shelter for his horses. He paid $45 for the lumber. Someone who works for the county noticed it, and so my friend ended up having to get a building permit - $135!!! My county isn't quite so bad, be even still, there's hardly anything you can do to your own place without it requiring a permit, or having to be inspected.

I agree the property taxes are out of control. I'm not so sure about the building permits and inspections. I don't want Mr doityerselfer wiring up the additon to his house, and burning mine down too. I don't want Mrs landgrabber contractng someone to build a fence, and telling them to go ahead.. move it over 16 inches.. he wont mind and besides... the crocus will look so good in that space. And I don't want Mr and Mrs justcameintosomeextramoney to add another level to their home, obstructing my view of the mountains, in this no building over a story and a half limited developement.

My aunt lives in a mobile home park. She pays lot rent every month to the owner who, presumably, pays property tax on the park.
Last year, the city began to tax... her decks. Yep. That, and her garden shed.

I have property with lake frontage, so far off the beaten path it will cost us over $9000 just to get electric run to it. We pull a travel trailer to the property when we want to spend some time there, then go back home get the boat or snowmobiles to use there.
:idea: I'll just build a pole barn there to put the travel trailer in during the heavy snow winters.
Went to apply for a building permit for it. Found I can't get one till I get a septic permit, I'm not building a house just a pole barn with a dirt floor. Still had to get the septic permit, just to build a pole barn.
For the people by the people only applys to the rule makers I reason.

The average home price in my county is $380,000. Up nearly 400% in ten years.
I can't possibly see my old 180 year old home as being valued at $290,000 but it is - and I have the tax bill to prove it - ugh.
Yes, we are all being raked to the cleaners. The reason here is obvious, there is no more available space to build - we are maxed out in a state which lies between New York City and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. No one (but me I sometimes thinks) minds driving an hour+ to work every day.
We are literally reach the relative home prices of Semi-Valley. I could never move from this home if I want to stay anywhere near here - the move is economically insane.
I just don't know how young couple pulling in $60,000 combined can afford a $350,000 mortgage - it makes no sense to me. God bless them, but I think it all is a scam to keep the homes coming back into the hands of the banks.

The costs are pretty insane--it's one of the reasons I live in a rural county. I'm lucky in that my commute is only about 18 miles.
The prices where my family lives in Michigan are insane, too. Mobile home parks are popular because a lot of people can't afford the 200K homes--so thye move into the park, where they have: 1. a mortgage on their home and 2. lot rent. Plus utilities and the new, stupid property tax on their decks. But the mortgage plus lot rent has to be more than I pay for my mortgage and taxes, I'd bet. So a lot of them get behind on bills, the home is reposessed, and the cycle starts over. For the most part, these aren't "professional" people, but the truck drivers, delivery people, service workers, and so on.
On a similar topic, the woman I carpool with called me Wednesday night--an ambulance was coming for her husband and she was too upset to drive to the hospital So I drove her, and stayed with her, and found out that her husband, who has diabetes, heart disease, and seizures, had cut down on his medications because they couldn't afford them. The result? He had a stroke.
Was he foolish to cut down on his meds? Well, she and I have the same health plan. I would estimate that even with our prescription plan, his meds would cost them $400+ per month. He, of course, can't work. She works in our mail processing area. They have a mortgage, and live a pretty quiet life otherwise. But making ends meet and having extra to visit the grandkids is a real strain.
It made
ill. This should not be happening.

Don't know about your area, but down here it is so much easier to get into a mobile home than a regular house. A fried of mine was trying to buy a house and had to go through all sorts of inspections and who knows what. After a few months of putting up with the BS. He was unable to do so.
Shortly after my wife and I went to a Mobile home dealer and was moving into the new home with in a month. Would have been a lot sooner if we had purchased one from off the lot than ordered one and had to wait on delivery and weather for delivery. It is just a lot less hassle. And we are not renting a spot but also purchased the five acres to place the home.

What gets me, is when people (usually old people) lose their home and property because of the rising cost of property taxes. I feel it's very unfair that a person could completely own their home and property, but still have it taken away because of unpaid taxes.
I have a friend who's mother is in a nursing home. The son used to live in her home by himself, but they had to change things lately to try and keep the home. The cost of the nursing home is so outragous that for a time they got slightly behind on the bill. It got up to about $2,000 behind, and then the nursing home had a change of ownership and management. They refused to let the bill go on like that, and insisted it get paid in 30 days. If unpaid, they said they would put a lien on the house and property and basiclly "kick" out the old woman from the nursing home. Also, there is some law here that says that the state could take her home, auction it off, and use that money for her nursing home care. (It's complicated.) So the daughter, her husband, and 4 kids all moved into the home to help out. By living in the "family home" she can devote her usual rent money to help with her mother's bills. There had NEVER been a morgage on this house & property, and now they had to get one to pay the nursing home.
The biggest worry is about this law that says the state could take the home to cover nursing home costs. It has something to do with the fact that she has no will (and too senile now to do one). I think it also has to do with the fact she has state health insurance - possibly medicare - which helps with bills minimally.

Since I am new to this site and this forum I would first like to introduce myself. My username is henryedl and I hail from south central Wisconsin (Blue Mounds). I am new to beekeeping--1 year, to computer--3 years and have no formal training in either. Though I hope not--you may find that I am only semi-literate in (take your pick) bee matters, using a computer, English as well as any other subject that I might attack. With that I should get on with the subject for this posting.
I agree with Beth that is completely unfair when people lose their homes and property to rising taxes, not to mention losing their life savings (usually in the form of property). I come from a farm background and I think that it is safe to say that farmers of my parents era (post world war ll) were, as a group, quite unsophisticated in the ways of the world. As a result their savings program consisted of ekking by in terms of spending money on themselves and putting as much as possible into their farm operations and land aquisition only to arrive at retirement (infirmity) with a sizable estate, mostly due to inflation, over which they had very little control.
The nursing home example in Beth's posting is quite typical. I have long thought that people past retirement age should be allowed to remain in their homes until they can no longer maintain themselves--property tax free. Of course critics would say that it wouldn't be long before a large number of homes would be owned by retired people. While I'm sure that there would be abuse to this type of a program I am equally sure that rules and guidelines could be established to minimize these problems.
The law that Beth refers to regarding the forced sale of property to pay nursing home care is pretty much the law of the land I think. At least that is also the case here in Wi. and in Ill. As far as the absence of a will or the inability to write one now because of mental state, in my area at least this is a moot point because the transfer of the property as a gift or inheritance would have to have occurred a number of years, possibly as long as ten years, before the onset of the infirmity that landed your loved one in a nursing home.
I guess that the lesson to be learned here is that if your parents or grand parents want to preserve real property for their families they have to be thinking and planning years ahead. And of course they would be best served by employing legal assistance to establish their wishes.
Until next time,

One of these unproductive hives had 6 queen superceedure cells in the brood box, one had hatched all the other the bees had opened as the queens had been killed.

wheels are GONE GONE GONE!!!
Hello everyone, I've got a set of 15" x 6" wheels with tires (tires are pretty much shot but will come with the wheels anyways). They came off of my 1999.5 Jetta GLS. They're in good condition, just a little dirty at the moment (they've been sitting in my attic since 2006 haha). I'd like to keep this sale local to MD/DC/NoVA/Southern PA.
right now price is $175 OBO (don't be afraid to make offers)

j5 wrote:It doesn't matter. The sterogram is the hook, the fact that it even works is just a bonus.
That's what I was thinking. The stereogram doesn't really need to work for the joke to work. I'm not sure if you'd actually be able to see it when it's printed on a shirt. My guess is: probably, but only if it's laying pretty flat.
Thanks, J (and everyone else too)!
crazydoglady wrote:It looks like this derby has brought out a few trolls; a few folks who've made one purchase each and one who is just commenting (never bought a shirt). They're fairly vocal on at least one other design with the same type of complaints - I think we should ignore them.
I love puns, great design, GMV
Calling someone a troll for voicing their opinions, especially on multiple threads, is being just as much of a "troll" as you're accusing us of being. Being a troll is voicing an opinion specifically just to try to stir things up, which is exactly the flavor of your other posts. The so-called trolls you're accusing have been voicing their opinions of the shirts, not the artists, and have made nothing so personal as the name calling you've stooped to. Just sayin'
Now this is awesome! Can I buy this now? lol
+1 vote to you, Good luck!
cptgone wrote:very nice! would have preferred a blue tee though (might be just me of course)
As I was drawing this, I definitely had blue in mind as the shirt color. But when it came time to finalize the ink colors, the blue shirts made the design look too much like it was only intended for little kids. Putting the design on asphalt gave it a little more of a serious pirate-y tone, and the dark grey was a good solution for the color of the captain's hat and the flag.
Re: Irrational Pirate
As a math teacher, this shirt would be perfect for Pi Day. Got my +1.
Re: Booba Pirate Radio
Phenomenal work!!! Love the concept of the little red radio as being a pirate's survival tool..... amazing details in the design....

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Well everybody else has been all wordy and stuff so I'll just say..NO! Read the post on BYB puppies because that's what your looking at. A dog that may or may not have sound temperament is a very bad deal in a GSD but hey you may get lucky!
I raised 5 kids. My recommendation would be wait to add a dog until after at least your first baby. I had dogs and kids at the same time and never had an issue. But the dogs came after several of the children and only after I had a pretty good handle on the lifestyle. Not GSDs, btw. Not that I think a GSD is incompatible with a young family, but I think there are other breeds that might be more suitable and especially for first time owners. And if I had it to do over again I would have started with a nice rescue around 3-6 years old.
As for the fence, mine is shorter but my dogs "honor" the fence and we haven't had any problems. I do not, however, leave my dogs unattended in the yard. I suspect if I left them out there for long periods of time, eventually the world outside the fence would be more attractive and one might decide to explore it. I guess basically what I am saying is don't expect any fence to do your supervising for you and you probably won't have a problem.
That goes for kids too. I had 2 Houdini boys and after a couple of "toddler at large" incidents I stopped even going in to use the bathroom without taking them along. The other 3 kids were easier. Thank goodness!
Here's our story...We just went 7 years without a dog while our babies were little. We REALLY wanted another dog but just knew how much work it would be. Our first dog died when my oldest turned 3. My husband traveled a lot for work during the week so I could see me taking care of the kids, a new dog, lots of little kids over, etc and how overwhelming it would be...so we waited. Finally in January of this year, after a lot of research and thought, we just got our newest bundle of joy...an 8 week old GSD (he is now 4 months)!
I stay at home full time while our kids are in school. My husband still travels for work a couple of times per month, but when he is not traveling he works from home. Our kids are now 7 and 10 so it is "ideally" the perfect scenario to bring a new GSD home and it has been great....BUT coming here...a LOT of work! Everyday I take the kids to school (dog comes with me) and we come home and exercise and play and we are also training multiple times throughout the day (little mini sessions) and classes. Finally after he is worn out, I get my chores done around the house. Feeding, crate training, training, poop picking-upping, waking up at 6:00 am to take him out for potty, socializing him, etc has taken over my life! I love every second (well except for the bleeding arms from land shark phase) but I honestly cannot imagine doing this while raising little ones. He is my full time job right now. My oldest daughter loves working with the dog and as a family, we are big hikers, campers, runners, and cyclists so a GSD fits into our family now. All of those things were very much on hold while we had little babies.
I don't say all of that to discourage you by any means, but to give you ideas to how to evaluate your lifestyle etc. before making the choice that works for you. For me personally, I am glad we waited (even though I didn't really want to). Read the puppy forum on here just to get an idea of the questions, etc that come up with these new little land sharks and best of luck with your decision!
Well I can say I'm one of the ones struggling the balance of children and puppy. Having gone through the newborn thing several times I would advise you wait. Either wait until your child is older or get the pup and wait until he/she is older. I don't know how much older bc my Zoe is only 12 weeks. I just know that I can't take my eyes off Zoe and my youngest 2 when they're together. She's jumpy and bitey and weighs nearly as much as my 3 yr old. If I had it to do again I'd wait until my youngest started school. That's just me though and that is with more than one child.

|Harry and Lola
|My experience has been that female GSDs are not docile at all, they are quick to learn training and GSDs regardless of sex are a very intelligent breed. Females are a little more aloof than males, they still like a cuddle every now and then but tend to like their space but still in the vicinity of where you are.
I would want to know a whole lot more about the dogs your friends are breeding. It can be both emotionally heartbreaking and financially devastating to deal with a puppy/dog with some congenital health issue. And if you were trying to juggle parenthood and the needs of a sick dog at the same time?
In addition to inherited health issues, temperament issues can also be inherited. Do your friends engage in some type of competitive activity with their dogs, something that would give them the opinion of an objective judge? Sometimes we become so blinded by love and appreciation of our pets that we can't see them as clearly as we should. That is why it is so important to get out with dogs we want to breed and prove their worth through that objective opinion.
It takes a lot of effort and time and (yes) money to raise a puppy to happy, healthy adulthood. I think there have been some threads recently from people really struggling with the puppy/baby/child paradigm. It is difficult and even with the very best of intentions, many of us just can't manage it. This breed can be absolutely phenomenal companions. But it takes a phenomenal amount of work to get them to that place. That means exercise even when you've been up all night with a sick baby. That means digging up the money for training class even when you need it for something else. And doing all that consistently, time after time. Even when you don't want to. And believe me, we all have times when we don't want to!
There is so much more to making the right choice than having a back yard or having friends with puppies. Do the bloodlines available to you reliably produce the kind of dog you want? Are you willing to put off having a baby until the dog is 3 or 4 years old? Or put off getting a dog until the baby is 3 or 4 years old?
There is a lot to think about and consider.
|Scout's Mama
As one of the crazies with a toddler and a GSD puppy, I will agree that it is a lot of work. We have had shepherds before, but even all the knowledge in the world wouldn't make it "easy." I agree with most of what Sunflowers has said.
It sounds more like you are looking for a dog, but friends are promoting their puppies? I would suggest seriously consider adopting a 2-6 year old rescue. You will have a better idea on temperament and avoid the GSD land shark phase.
Also, puppies and babies are expensive, I can't imagine having a young GSD and a newborn.
I will say my female GSD did extremely well with a newborn in the house, but she was much older.
Just my two cents.

It is very responsible of you to come here and ask.
Given what I know about babies and German Shepherd puppies, I would wait to get a German Shepherd puppy when my child or children are at least six or seven.
Human babies are overwhelming for first-time parents. German Shepherd puppies can be overwhelming for first-time owners. I can't imagine having both at the same time.
I'm sure a lot of people will come on here and say it can be done. Yes, anything can be done. What would be best, my opinion, to see how you do with the baby before adding a dog to the mix.
Best of luck with whatever you decide to do.
Is GSD right for our new house? Fence/Baby questions
My husband and I just closed on a new home - our first single family house! We finally have a private fenced-in yard and are excited to be able to get a dog. We have family friends that are GSD breeders and are offering us a puppy (either male or female) for a great price. Neither of us have experience with GSDs, but we know they can be great dogs.
We have two main issues/questions:
1. Our new fence is shorter, about 3'9" high. We worry that a GSD would be able climb/jump over it if motivated. Our friend/breeder said that if trained property, the GSD should be trusted not to do that. Is that true? Is this something we need to worry about?
2. My husband and I are trying to get pregnant, so hopefully in the next year or so we'll have a baby. Are GSDs good with babies if trained properly? We have several friends and family members with small children, so we hope to be able to socialize the dog with them. Would this prepare a GSD for a newborn?
If we did decide to get a GSD, would you recommend a male or female? We've heard that females can be more on the docile side--is that true?

Project Description2006 RADA
Custom / More Than 3,500 Square Feet / Grand
At once deeply practical and cleverly articulated, this house in the Sierra Nevada Mountains is designed to withstand earthquakes and the 12-foot snow loads that are standard in this part of the country. Mark Horton, AIA, set a three-story box on a hillside with its cedar-clad open face toward the sun, slanting the roofline upward to shed snow and capture solar rays. On the east, west, and north sides, a 12-foot-tall base of locally quarried Sierra White granite shoulders the snow load and holds the public spaces on top, so they're always out of the snow.
Inside, Horton devised structural "trees" that allow for one large, open-span living area. It looks out on a three-story atrium that funnels light to the lower-level bedrooms and incorporates a 24-foot climbing wall. "I dislike weekend houses that are huge and have a bunch of separated rooms," Horton says. "This is my idea of what a family ski house should be and what makes it different from others in Sugar Bowl."
The judges applauded Horton's reinterpretation of alpine building typology. "He ended up with a unique siding that references log homes," one commented. "The vernacular is treated in a modern way."

We will be making a number of significant changes within the next few weeks. Just want to give you a heads up on them:
1. Addition of an ALL Star Wars costuming Forum. We are still working on the details, but we want to make sure those of your working on Star Wars costumes that aren't directly covered by our existing forums have a place to show off and discuss your work.
2. Stepped Membership. We will implement a new member structure that will limit new members ability to see/post at the Sarlacc Pit and the Cargo Hold. It will also limit a new member's ability to create a new thread, giving them time to see who we are and how we work before giving them access to bombard us with questions that have been answered repeatedly in the past.
3.Affiliate programs. This is a little ways off, but we want TDH to be self sustaining and there is nothing I want more than to remove the need for donations.
4. Consolidated look. We are working to further unify and consolidate our look to help give a more professional appearance to the site.
5. Updated reference gallery.
I think that covers it through the end of this year. As always, if you have any suggestions on how we can improve TDH's look, feel, usefulness, please let us know.

The goal of SAAM is to raise public awareness about sexual violence and to educate communities and individuals on strategies for its prevention.
It is estimated that for every 1,000 women attending a college or university, there are 35 incidents of rape each academic year1. This year's campaign brings together resources and information across a variety of campus-related topics, with an emphasis on incorporating primary prevention efforts. Resources are available through the NSVRC's SAAM website (www.nsvrc.org/saam) including campus sexual violence resource lists, suggested activities for SAAM, and more. The website is now fully available in Spanish and English.

The Canisius College rowing team concluded its regular season on Friday, when the team played host to Mercyhurst.
After both the Varsity Eight and Varsity Four fell to the Lakers, the Second Varsity Eight rebounded and cruised to a 22-second victory to close out the event.
The Second Varsity Eight, which was comprised of freshmen Amber Giambone, Chanel Davis, Mikaela Braun and Erin Grim, sophomores Megan Walsh, Molly Murphy and Ashley Tylenda, junior Liz Reinwald and sophomore coxswain Hannah Blum completed the course in 8:55.62.
The Varsity Fours kicked off the Griffs' lone home event of the 2014 season by finishing in 10:39.13. The crew consisted of freshman Lauren Bielby and sophomores Nicole Littlejohn, Tiffany Velado and Jordan Szustak, as well as freshman coxswain Kaitlyn Taylor.
Mercyhurst took the race with a time of 10:04.11.
In the Varsity Eight race, the Griffs fell to the lakers by just over six seconds, as Mercyhurst took the win with a time of 7:58.05. The Canisius boat was made up of freshman Liz DelBarba, sophomores Corrine Kickel, Julia Sciandra and Nora Kennon, seniors Meghan Martin, Liz McKinney, Bridget Laszewski and Allison Braun, and sophomore coxswain Jordan Bamrick.
The crews were racing into a 12 mph cross-headwind on the afternoon.
Canisius will now return to the site of last week's Knecht Cup – Mercer Lake in West Windsor, N.J. -- to vie for its first MAAC Championship in the young program's history. Action will commence at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 26.

Yeah... yeah... as with many things, we are a bit late on this!
March 1, 2012 was thedentedhelmet.com's tenth anniversary!
For those of you who are new, here is a brief history of the site.
The Dented Helmets history began in early 2001, at the Replica Prop Forums (the RPF) with a thread dedicated to the details of Boba Fetts costume. That thread grew to over 300 posts, which was legendary at that time. Due to the massive amount of useful information it contained, the thread was archived and a second thread was created. This thread too grew to over 300 posts, followed by a third. It was quickly becoming obvious that Boba Fetts costume was too complex a subject to be contained within a few threads.
One of the primary contentions back in those early days was the identity of the knurled rods on Boba Fett shin tool. It was accepted as "common knowledge" that the rods were X-acto handles, but a few people, many of who became the core of the Dented Helmet's early membership, challenged that belief. It wasn't until years later that we discovered those pieces were actually a Transcriptor Stylus Brush!
In August of 2001 a new ez-board was created for the express purpose of scrutinizing Boba Fetts costume and making that information readily available to Fett fans. The board was called As You Wish (AYW) as an homage to one of Bobas most memorable lines. A forum for the new character Jango Fett was also created at AYW. Unfortunately ez-board was not the ideal platform for a high-traffic discussion board. It was very sluggish and overrun with pop-up ads making it almost impossible to use. Within a few months of AYWs creation talks began of creating a new forum based off the same software as the RPF and hosted on a private server.
With the help the help of Cliff Wright and Nikki Burdett, the software used at the RPF was customized to suit the needs of the new board. The domain name Boba Fett Costume Resource - Boba Fett News & Articles was purchased on Jan 30, 2002 and on March 1, 2002, the Dented Helmet Discussion forums (TDH) officially opened to the public. Credit for the name The Dented Helmet goes to Chris Skidmore, who suggested it as a joke. All the posts from AYW were transferred and AYW was permanently shut down.
The lead graphics designer of TDH was Dallas Poague, an avid Zam Wesell fan and the creator of TDHs early shirt designs. As a favor for all his hard work in helping create the look and feel of TDH a forum for Zam Wesell was added to the new board.
Unfortunately, only 6 months after opening TDH, it exceeded the capacity of the hosting server. TDH was temporarily shut down. Fortunately, Nikki Burdett, owner of the RPF generously offered to host TDH on the same server as the RPF.
In Januray, 2005 The Dented Helmet struck out on its own server and upgraded to vBulletin as its platform.
In Nov 2009, Art Andrews (me) took over the RPF and brought the Dented Helmet under a single company; Movie Prop Sites, LLC.
In 2010, Scott Kaufmann, TxFett, took over the reigns and now is the primary person handling the day to day running of the site.
Here we are today, ten years later and wow, what a journey the last ten years have been. I never would have guessed just how popular this little group would become or how influential we would be. It has been exhilarating and humbling. While some feel that Star Wars has seen its best days, this site still thrives as one of the largest costuming sites focused primarily on a single character.
I won't even begin to try to mention the dozens if not hundreds of people who have helped make this site and this community what it is today for fear of leaving someone out. We have had so many come and go and so many contribute to the knowledge that is found here that it is just incredible.
Thank you all for all that you do and for just still coming and contributing to the site.
It has been my pleasure to serve you for the past 10 years and we are looking forward to another 10!

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > Harvard-MIT Economic Development Seminar: The Economic Impact of Antiretroviral Therapy for HIV Patients in Rural South Afric
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has dramatically increased survival for HIV patients. However, little is known about the economic effects of ART on patients, their households, and communities in settings with slack labor markets, common in areas with the highest HIV burden. Using clinical and economic data from a large population-based surveillance system in rural South Africa, this paper assesses the extent to which labor supply of HIV patients recovers on treatment. Employment and labor force participation largely recover, but lag behind health gains. Barriers to employment for HIV patients include low labor demand and location of job opportunities. For households of HIV patients, ART provides substantial protection against asset loss due to HIV illness and death. Finally, I find suggestive evidence that ART rollout has positive spillover effects on employment of HIV negatives at the community level.
