Sending holiday hope to troops overseas
Friends and family gathered around Christmas tables, preparing a feast for people who won't be here on December 25.
"People come out and do this because they want to do something for them and they really do have support back home," said Lori Stewart, who organized the event.
It's part of a project called Toys for Troops. Now in its sixth season, volunteers are packing and sending 62 boxes.
"Some of these people have been over there for quite a long time and they're missing a lot of holidays," said Mallory Clark, who is training to be in the army. She said this is what she would want if she was in their shoes.
"Just something to remind them of home and calm their nerves during the holidays and let them know that we're thinking about them and they're not alone," said Clark.
"We just want them to have a good holiday and not miss out. We are packing them as absolutely full as we can," said Shannon Foreman, who lives in Urbana. "We're rearranging them to jam as much as we can into each box so that everybody gets a lot of great stuff for Christmas."
The volunteers stuffed the boxes like stockings, full of things soldiers may need plus other toys and treats just for fun.
"We searched the world for sweet tea candy one year because someone was hungry for it and couldn't find it," said Stewart.
But more than what you can see inside, there's a message of hope for the soldiers. That's knowing people are pulling for them on the other side of the world.
"If peace puts me out of business, I'm fine with that," said Stewart. "Otherwise, as long as they need help, we'll be here."
Stewart said she was amazed by the turnout. She said her son, who is in the service, plans to be home on Christmas Day this year.

Well, hey, welcome! You may have some catching up to do, but please, no regrets. By all means, seek training, both in the area of shooting skills and also regarding the implications of the use of deadly force. Glad to have you with us!

So yes, I'm a super-newbie! Today I took my first shot ever with my husband's HK USP .45 ACP. I hit the target at 40 feet 2 out of 5 times and pulled the other 3 shots down too low. This was on our "homemade" range on 5 acres in Florida. I hit a few other targets (cans, milk jugs) but missed low more than I hit. I tried shooting from a sitting position with a table for support and did a little better. I shot about 40 rounds total and honestly, I was pleased that I didn't do anything dumb enough to wind up on a YouTube video (I never should have watched the "wife shoots Desert Eagle .50 cal " video). I was going to wait and learn on something smaller, but after reading several posts on this forum, I asked to shoot the .45 just too see how it felt....and it felt good! I also got to shoot some rifles. My son's M&P15-22 was a whole lot of fun. It has a scope (because they usually shoot from 40 yards, not 40 feet) and I felt like I was cheating. I hit everything I aimed at. And started a little more rapid fire shooting. And then I shot the .223 and now I wonder why the heck did I never shoot with them before? I loaded magazines, I cleaned the .45, and I got a pretty good drilling on gun safety. At least I feel competent enough to go to an indoor range and try out some other guns. Sorry if this is a little long, but I really wanted to tell someone what a great day it was for me. I have every intention of getting additional training and would love to hear constructive comments and suggestions.

Isn't shooting a lot of fun! Good luck and good shooting.

Welcome to DC from GA.
Glad you had a good time shooting a variety of firearms. I took my first shots a little over 30 years ago, been hooked ever since. Finally got my wife to the range not to long ago and she too loved it. She shot her .38 Special at about seven yards and hit her target area pretty well. She said she really enjoyed it and I was extremely pleased that she enjoyed it and she was able to place shots accurately on target. IMO, everyone should know how to shoot. Enjoy the sport and share it with your friends. Stay safe!
Welcome and have fun (and stay safe).
I have a very strict gun control policy: if there's a gun around, I want to be in control of it.

Welcome to the forum and welcome to the wonderful world of shooting. I'm a late bloomer with ya. In the short year since I've started shooting it has quickly become my favorite hobby.
I'm jealous, sounds like you have a great place to shoot, with a good variety and someone to watch and keep you safe while you learn.
Don't worry to much about accuracy at first, safety first. Plus you will probably be amazed how fast you'll improve if you keep at it with some regularity and with some good instruction. I've actually improved a TON by tracking each shot. I usually shoot at paper (all I got at my local ranges) but I just shoot 5 rounds at a time at one target. This way I can see where each shot hits. When that target has 5 shots in it, I cover it up with a new target. Takes alittle more time and effort but it is well worth it. This helped me a lot with making adjustements and finding out what works and what doesnt. BTW, I just shoot at cheap printer paper with a peice of orange tape in the center, one cheap target!!
The stupidity of some people NEVER ceases to amaze me.
Thanks to everyone for the encouragement. Some recent work-related events have forced me to consider concealed carry. But I want some training and experience under my belt before I go live. Looking forward to some new experiences.

TWELVE months after being set to quit Test rugby for the easy life in Japan, a re-energised Wycliff Palu is the Tongan muscle the Wallabies are relying on to smash some overdue authority against the All Blacks.
The imposing No. 8 yesterday divulged how close he came to watching Saturday night's Bledisloe Cup clash on TV as a former Wallaby rather than being in the thick of the action at Suncorp Stadium.
"I was gone pretty much. I'd moved back into my parents' house in western Sydney and I was waiting to go off to Japan, which is where I thought I'd be playing," Palu said.
Frustration over injuries like the hamstring which ended his 2011 World Cup in New Zealand had worn down the affable forward, who is a 117kg monster of midfield running when at full fitness.
Now 30, Palu must rip into the All Blacks from the kick-off like he's just burst through the swing doors of the last-chance saloon looking to pick a fight with the meanest faces in the bar.
He has appeared surprisingly sharp and error-free at training this week for a player who has been sidelined for three months with shoulder nerve damage. Translating that precision to the frenzy of a Test against the world champions when everything is at twice the speed is the true test.
"I have missed the build-up to Bledisloe games," said Palu, who has not faced the All Blacks since 2009 and not beaten them since 2008.
"They are definitely a very good side. Unbeatable ... no.
"The key to beating them is fronting up everywhere. Everyone has to play well, not one guy can drop behind."
Former Test hooker Brendan Cannon put it more bluntly: "You've got to fight fire with fire.
"We've been playing too gently against the All Blacks. We have to really rattle their cage so they don't find their rhythm."
Palu and 122kg lock Sitaleki Timani will be a big part of that if they can clatter into the All Blacks and tie up tacklers so that the awesome All Blacks defence is reduced to 10 or 12 men standing not 15 all the time.
Palu offers another bit of X-factor that the Wallabies desperately need. The 41-Test stalwart is adept at sniffing out chances off flyhalf Kurtley Beale.
"KB makes things happen. We just have to feed off him," Palu said. "He's either putting you through a hole or he'll go himself. He opens things up."
Having a go with a more attacking policy with Beale and henchman Palu, blazing away until halftime before being spelled, has to be the plan or the Wallabies can forget it.

ESPN Boston's Mike Reiss projects that the Patriots will hold running back Shane Vereen out of Sunday's game versus the Bills.
"[Vereen] was held out of last Sunday's win after leaving with a groin injury, and if this was the playoffs, he'd be ready to go," Reiss wrote Saturday. "But the possibility of the team holding him back as a precaution makes some sense from this viewpoint."
Vereen is officially listed as questionable to play.
Fantasy Analysis:
If there is a positive spin to this story it's that Vereen was able to go through some practice each day this week. But his chances of playing are looking down. Considering that this game won't kick off until late in the afternoon, you probably need to explore other options if you are planning on playing Vereen.
I expect Stevan Ridley and LeGarrette Blount to split the work evenly out of the Patriots' backfield. But really, your guess is as good as mine as to how Bill Belichick will handle his running game. Even with a fantastic matchup in the regular-season finale, it's tough to endorse someone here as anything more than a very low-end flex.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - Chrishawn Williams won All-America honors as she placed eighth in the long jump at the NCAA Indoor National Championships on Friday evening with a mark of 20-7 ¾ (6.29 meters). This is her first All-America honor.
"Chrishawn was outstanding and she deserves this All-America status," said assistant coach Steve Rubin after the awards ceremony, "I thought it was really one of the best competitive performances I've seen in a long time. She never stopped fighting hard."
"A big congratulations to Chrishawn as she did a fantastic job tonight," said head coach Harlis Meaders, "Coming into nationals at 15th and finishing eighth is a testament to her training and her competitive nature. Her progress is a step in the right direction for where we want to take the program. We've definitely made some steps in the right direction and Chrishawn's and many of our other student-athletes' successes are a profound mark on that."
Williams' long mark of 20-7 ¾ is just under her personal best of the year, a mark of 20-8 ½ (6.31 meters), which she set on February 2nd at the Armory Collegiate Invitational.
"I'm not 100-percent satisfied and I know I could have placed higher, but I'm still happy," said Williams after receiving her All-America trophy, "I can't be disappointed considering I've never competed at this level indoors before and I come home an All-America."
Her progressions at NCAAs were: 19-6 ¼, 19-9 ½, 20-1, 20-7 ¼, 20-7 ¾, and 19-11 ½ through the six rounds of competition. She finished fourth in her flight.
"She had to made a really good jump in the last round of prelims just to qualify for the final," said Coach Rubin, "She made a really good adjustment and stayed aggressive giving her a much bigger jump in round three which was really a turning point for her.
"All the girls jumped really far at this level in a meet like this," added Coach Rubin, "Chrishawn continued to be aggressive and improved on her fourth and fifth attempts so you can see that she just kept getting better as the competition went on. She was just outstanding."
Williams, a senior, earned All-ACC honors earlier this season after finishing second at the conference championship two weeks ago. Williams led the conference in the long jump all season heading into the ACC Championships.
While this is her first qualification for the indoor championships, Williams has previously qualified in the long jump for the NCAA Outdoor National Championships in 2012 and was an NCAA Outdoor Regional qualifier in 2010 and 2012.
"I'm just excited to move into outdoors so I can move up the podium a few steps," added Williams, "This is extremely motivating for outdoors, where I've competed at the national level before. I know who my competition is and I know how far I need to go. Doing this is a big boost of confidence."
Carolina's outdoor season will begin at home March 22-23 as they host the Kent Taylor Invitational at Belk Track.

Elizabeth Taylor: The Times obituary
Intuitive and alluring screen actress who proved fascinating to the camera and the public long after her film career had gone into decline
From the age of ten, Elizabeth Taylor was a superstar, perhaps one of the biggest Hollywood ever made. Her career, its rise and decline, was inextricably linked to the story of that town, to the glory days of the studio system and to the advent of the modern age of film-making.
But her talents as an actress went only a small way to explaining her rumbustious, headline-making appeal. Married eight times to seven different husbands, she conducted her affairs like a Beverly Hills Wife of Bath. Plagued by accidents as she was, she was also blessed with apparent indestructibility. She bounced back after divorce, bereavement, alcohol and drug addiction, career droughts and the venom of the world's press.
In her youth she was often described…

Decibrity Playlist: Enabler/
Enabler has had a pretty busy year. Amidst a slew of tour dates (including opening for Rotten Sound throughout the Old World), the group put out two EPs, the most recent of which it dropped last month. As if that wasn't enough, according to Facebook, the Milwaukeeans are currently tracking their next full-length right now. Despite his hectic schedule, guitarist/vocalist/grizzled vet of everything extreme Jeff Lohrber still had time to tell us about some records--five to be precise--that have helped change the face of his band. Feel free to listen along here. You can pick up a copy from our friends at The Compound here. All hail the void! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Com8u2TOaPU
Iron Maiden--Powerslave (1984) I randomly picked up this cassette when I was a kid simply because the cover looked cool. It's still my favorite Maiden record. Fast forward a couple of years, I come home from work and hear [bassist] Amanda Daniels playing "Aces High" in our living room on bass after picking up the instrument a few months prior. What she didn't know was that was pretty much her tryout for Enabler!
Metallica--Master Of Puppets (1986) This is the ultimate Metallica record in my eyes. It definitely served as a blueprint for how I imagined Enabler working as a unit when we were a four-piece. James Hetfield's rhythm guitar playing on this record is one of my biggest influences as a guitarist, period.
Nirvana--Live At Reading (2009) When Enabler was forced to drop to a three-piece, I think hearing this live Nirvana record definitely convinced me that we could successfully continue to pull this off as a three-piece and sound full as a band. This is one of my favorite Nirvana recordings, and ultimately Nirvana live kicks the shit out of the studio records.
Harlots--Betrayer (2007) It feels weird to put a band that I was an irreplaceable member of in a playlist, but the theme we're going for here is records that have helped change the face of Enabler. If it wasn't for this record and band, I would have never met Amanda, and [guitarist] Eric [Dunn] wouldn't have been a part of Enabler for the past year. I feel like I pushed myself to my creative and technical limits in this band to where coming back and writing more standard songs has just been a breeze (and a lot more fun!). I look at the other members of Harlots like family and think about them often.
Rotten Sound--Cycles (2008) I slept on this band for years and was introduced to Rotten Sound while I was drumming for Trap Them. The first three songs on this record are probably the most crushing and punishing grind I've ever heard, and the production is amazing! I would say that hearing this definitely pushed me to write a lot of the more brutal riffs in Enabler and influenced me to just up the par with speed and intensity. Fast forward a few years and we were able to tour Europe with them this past year and are great friends!

The Collected Poems: 1956-1998 (edition 2007)
by Zbigniew Herbert
Work details
The Collected Poems: 1956-1998 by Zbigniew Herbert
No current Talk conversations about this book.
So far I've read only Mr Cogito, from 1974, but I feel comfortable saying that it's one of the better books of late twentieth century poetry I've read. Harder--not more difficult, harder--than a Milosz, more intellectual and open to the world (the actual world, I mean, i.e., other people, ideas, history etc) than the current crop of American chamomile tea sipping navel-gazers, but eminently readable? Yes, that's more or less my ideal for poetry. Recommended for anyone who's ever tried to read, or has read, Berryman's dream songs and kind of wished they were a little more comprehensible. Particular favorites: Mr Cogito's Abyss; Mr Cogito's Game; Mr Cogito on Upright Attitudes.
There are some brilliant poems in here; in general, the Mr. Cogito selections felt the strongest.
Great cover by the way. There have already been several collections of Herbert's published poetry. This however is a new translation of not only the already translated poetry but of those collections that have not or not fully been translated. In total there are 9 works and in this volume I have gone through the first 3 which apart from those poems translated by Czeslaw Milosz and Peter Dale Scott in their 'Selected Poems' by Herbert have not seen the light of day in English. So many thanks to the translator Alissa Valles. Of the three so far:
'Chord of light' originally published in 1956 is so far the weakest collection--though everything by Herbert IMO is very good to great. With his second collection--'Hermes, dog and star'-- from 1957 he seems to have gotten his stride. The third 'Study of the object' is just wonderful--especially some of the prose poems. For those who haven't read anything by Herbert--a quick google on the internet will hopefully be enlightening. One should do a search on the poem 'Report from the besieged city' also the title of a collection or do another search on 'Mr. Cogito' the title of yet another collection and a kind of an alter-ego that Herbert would sometimes use. His poetry tends towards lucidity. They are not hard to understand. I find it very beautiful. He and Nicanor Parra IMO are the greatest poets of the 20th century.
J.M. Coetzee, "Homage," Threepenny Review, Spring 1993:
"Herbert has been fortunate in his translators: Peter Dale Scott and Czeslaw Milosz, John and Bogdana Carpenter. I know no Polish, but Herbert, in their translations, came to form part of the landscape of my mind."

CWD was found in michigan,baiting has been banned
I may be mistaken but is that the main cause of CWD. When deer feed off of the same pile or feeder mixing saliva or something. Thought I read that somewhere.
they think it's how its passed yes

DNR Acts to Implement CWD Surveillance and Response Plan
Contact: Mary Dettloff 517-335-3014
Agency: Natural Resources
August 26, 2008
In the wake of Monday's announcement that Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) has been confirmed in a three-year old privately-owned white-tailed deer in Kent County, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources is acting immediately to implement provisions of the state's Surveillance and Response Plan for CWD.
Among the provisions is an immediate ban on all baiting and feeding of deer and elk in the Lower Peninsula. DNR conservation officers will step up surveillance and enforcement efforts on baiting. Baiting and feeding unnaturally congregate deer into close contact, thus increasing the transmission of contagious diseases such as CWD and bovine tuberculosis. Bait and feed sites increase the likelihood that those areas will become contaminated with the feces of infected animals, making them a source of CWD infection for years to come.
Additionally, the provisions include a mandatory deer check for hunters who take a deer within Tyrone, Solon, Nelson, Sparta, Algoma, Courtland, Alpine, Plainfield, and Cannon townships, which contain the surveillance area or "hot zone." All hunters who take a deer during any deer hunting season this fall within the "hot zone" will be required to visit a DNR deer check station so that their deer can be tested for CWD. The DNR currently is seeking locations for additional deer check stations in the area to make it more convenient for hunters. To prevent unintentional spread of CWD, the only parts of deer harvested in the surveillance zone that will be allowed to be transported out will be boned meat, capes, and antlers cleaned of all soft tissues.
In addition, all transport of live wild deer, elk and moose will be prohibited statewide, including transport for rehabilitation purposes. Currently, there is no live animal test for CWD, and infected animals often show no signs of illness for years in spite of being infectious for other animals. Movement for rehabilitation purposes may speed geographic spread of the disease.
The DNR will act immediately to test an additional 300 deer within the "hot zone" in Kent County. The DNR will be cooperating with local officials to collect fresh road-killed deer, and will be urging deer hunters participating in the early antlerless season on private land in September to comply with the mandatory deer check.
Landowners in Kent County "hot zone" who would like to obtain disease control permits to cull deer from their property and assist with the collection of deer for testing should contact the DNR's Wildlife Disease Lab at 517-336-5030. Permits will be available immediately upon request. Landowners who do not want to cull deer, but want to participate in the collection of deer for testing, can obtain assistance from the DNR in culling deer.
DNR officials reminded citizens that, to date, there is no evidence that CWD poses a risk to humans, nor has there been verified evidence that the disease can be transmitted to humans.
CWD is a fatal neurological disease that affects deer, elk and moose. Most cases of the disease have been in western states, but in the past several years, it has spread to Midwestern and eastern states. Infected animals display abnormal behaviors, loss of bodily functions and a progressive weight loss. Current evidence suggests that the disease is transmitted through infectious, self-multiplying proteins (prions). Prions are normal cell proteins whose shape has been transformed, causing CWD. The disease is transmitted by exposure to saliva of infected animals. Susceptible animals can also acquire CWD by eating feces from an infected animal, or soil contaminated by them. Once contaminated, soil can remain a source of infection for many years, making CWD a particularly difficult disease to manage.
The Vermont Fish and Game website has a little Q & A about CWD here's the link for anyone who is interested....
Vermont Fish & Wildlife, Questions & Answers: Chronic Wasting Disease
Wisconsin has CWD and our DNR wants to wipe them outand they have been triing for years now without any success. There isn't much they can do anyway,all thery're doing is making the hunters mad.
I heard about this Tuesday night on our local news, VERY SCARY.... Fox 47 news interviewed stores and gas stations (Lansing area) who rely on selling bait during hunting season. The owners were outraged and complained of the loss of money from not selling bait. Yes, alot of businesses might rely on selling bait near hunting season but if CWD spreads it will hurt our tourism economy much worse. Some people just don't see the biggger picture.

Looking for some direction on slowly increasing the handling on my daily but don't want to go overboard that it becomes undrivable under normal street conditions (typical city bumpy rutted roads, etc). I have no real plans on adding power but that's not out of the question. No plans on drag racing so the most I'm looking at is possibly an axle upgrade to reduce wheelhop and not a 8.8/9 conversion. Key thing I want is better handling and braking and in the next year or so, go to some track schools/days.
Little background: Car: 05 36K mi. Katech shifter, CAGS delete, SRP pedals. Me: Been to the track and club raced motorcycles for roughly 5-6yrs on a (somewhat) competitive level finishing top 10 in my class regularly so the tracks I'm planning on going to, I am already familiar with.
These are the parts I plan to go with but still in research phase and it'll be an as funds allow build. Not looking to do all these prior to going to the track
Sways? Addco?
Suspension? KW V3?*bought V3*
Brakes (pad/rotor)?
Wheels/Tires (sizes)?
Bushings? Revshift?
Radiator/tstat upgrade? Alradco/? ?
P/S or Oil cooler?
Axles? gforce?
Anything else?
I'm not really a "car guy" so I'm betting I forgot something or just don't know about it but ask me almost anything on motorcycles and how to make them perform better in different ways and I can talk for days.

Time Warner Cable owes $229,500 to woman it would not stop calling
By Jonathan Stempel
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Many people dislike receiving robocalls. Araceli King disliked receiving 153 of them from a single company.
Time Warner Cable Inc must pay the insurance claims specialist $229,500 for placing 153 automated calls meant for someone else to her cellphone in less than a year, even after she told it to stop, a Manhattan federal judge ruled on Tuesday.
King, of Irving, Texas, accused Time Warner Cable of harassing her by leaving messages for Luiz Perez, who once held her cellphone number, even after she made clear who she was in a seven-minute discussion with a company representative.
The calls were made through an "interactive voice response" system meant for customers who were late paying bills.
Time Warner Cable countered that it was not liable to King under the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act, a law meant to curb robocall and telemarketing abuses, because it believed it was calling Perez, who had consented to the calls.
But in awarding triple damages of $1,500 per call for willfully violating that law, U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein said "a responsible business" would have tried harder to find Perez and address the problem.
He also said 74 of the calls had been placed after King sued in March 2014, and that it was "incredible" to believe Time Warner Cable when it said it still did not know she objected.
"Defendant harassed plaintiff with robo-calls until she had to resort to a lawsuit to make the calls stop, and even then TWC could not be bothered to update the information in its IVR system," Hellerstein wrote. Continued...

" The Barbican, Plymouth, info: 01752 674091, Wednesdays "
Wow The Quay club in plymouth - what can i say!
Location - The Quay Club was founded in 1984 and is situated in the older part of Plymouth known as "The Barbican." The Barbican is known for its array of clubs and trendy modern bars, ones that cater for the more professional individuals that want a nice evening out without the rough edges. The Quay club is situated next to the Three Crowns which is a pub on the corner, it also conviently has a jazz bar next to it which ties in well with the style of the quay club.
Inside the Quay Club - you walk along the cobbled streets to get to the Quay Club (mind the high heels girlies) - and are greeted by two charming doorman. They do not seem like the normal doorman you get elsewhere in plymouth, they are friendly and are polite - which i think is a sign of a more established professional club. You go up some steep stairs and then go to a little box to pay (usually a few pounds but no more than £5). Once inside you see cobbled walls and just the right amount of lighting. You can go upstairs which reminds me a little of an old looking pub inside. If you go on the floor you came in at the room is quite long with the DJ at the back. Then there is one bar as soon as you walk in.
Drinks/People/Music - the drinks are reasonably priced, however watch out for the weekends as i think they put the prices up a little. I have been here many a time and have never had any "trouble" - people seem kind and considerate and you do not get "riff raff" as it were. The music varies considerably and they usually have defined nights - "Jelly Jazz" has always been a favourite of mine - which is very chilled out and people dance very funny (in my opinion and including me hehehe) - it is just a nice chilled out place to go.
Summary - reasonable drink prices, professional place to go to, good music and very central to other cocktail bars/a few clubs

2026: Neurobiological Role of Altered CCK Response in Bulimia Nervosa
This NINR funded clinical research study examined the altered neurobiological responses in bulimia nervosa (BN). Previous research suggested this may be a cause, consequence, or maintenance factor.

What would you like to do?
Which divorced parent with joint custody should receive your dependent children social security benefits?
It should have been clarified in the divorce settlement. But if it wasn't, then the one paying child support should be the one to claim them. If neither of you are paying child support due to joint custody, here are a couple of options:
One of you can claim half the kids, the other claim the other half. If you have three kids (can't claim half a kid), then one year one of you claim two kids, the other claims one, then alternate the next year.
You can claim all of the kids, then alternate each year. One year you claim all of the kids, the next your ex claims them.
One of you can claim half the kids, the other claim the other half. If you have three kids (can't claim half a kid), then one year one of you claim two kids, the other claims one, then alternate the next year.
You can claim all of the kids, then alternate each year. One year you claim all of the kids, the next your ex claims them.
Was this answer useful?
Thanks for the feedback!
Can you get unemployment benefits if you receive Social Security benefits in Texas?
Yes, if you meet eligibility requirements for both programs. Texas repealed the Social Security offset regulations that reduced unemployment compensation for people who were… claiming both benefits. Both Social Security and the State of Texas allow workers to collect unemployment and Social Security at the same time without applying a penalty to either check.
Can divorced people receive Social Security benefits if they are unmarried when the ex-spouse dies?
Yes, if the couple was married at least ten years and the surviving spouse is at least 60 years of age (survivors' retirement benefits) or 50, if disabled -- provided the surv…iving ex-spouse hasn't remarried and remained married. He or she must be single when the former husband or wife dies to qualify for compensation. A surviving ex-spouse may receive survivors' benefits at any age if caring for the decedent's natural or legally adopted minor children under age 16. The survivor may remarry after age 60 (or 50, if disabled) without jeopardizing his or her Social Security survivors' benefits.
Can a child receive social security benefits if on parent dies?
There is a child benefit check until the child reaches age 18.
When you have a child will he receive the Social Security benefits that you receive?
If the child is of a deceased person who is receiving Social Security benefits, he may be entitled to Survivor's benefits under certain circumstances. See the Related Link be…low for more information.
Can a child receive Social Security benefits for a deceased parent who never worked?
No. Unfortunately, survivor benefits are only paid if the deceased earned wages and accumulated sufficient credits through FICA taxes.
Do children with a deceased parent receive social security through college?
No, or very rarely at least. Social Security ends when you either turn 18, or when you graduate from High School. The age that children of a deceased parent stop receiving S…ocial Security is age 18, after they graduate from High School. They can receive it until 19, if they haven't graduated high school and still attending. I called Social Security after I posted my first comment. When they turn 18, they can have their money direct deposit to their account if the child wants, or they choose to have a check sent to them direct, until they graduate at age 19,
Can a parent be claimed as a dependent for federal tax purposes if they receive social security?
Answer To be your dependent, a person must be either your qualifying child or your qualifying relative. Generally, a person is your qualifying relative if that pe…rson: * Lives with or is related to you, * Does not have $3,300 or more of gross (total) income, * Is supported (generally more than 50%) by you, and * Is neither your qualifying child nor the qualifying child of anyone else. For details, see Exemptions for Dependents in Publication 501 Answer Answered my own question from William Perez's Tax Planning Blog (http://taxes.about.com/b/a/238014.htm) Parents would fall under the category of "qualifying relatives" under the new rules for claiming a dependent. Under these rules, you can claim your parents as dependents if they each earn less than $3,200 in taxable income and you provide more than half of their total financial support. If their only source of income is Social Security, then none of their Social Security benefits are taxable, and they would have zero taxable income. In that situation and you provided over half of their financial support, then yes you can claim your parents as dependents. (And they don't have to live with you either, since there's no residency requirement for parents.)
Can a child receive social security benefits from the death of their parent?
yes you will need to file with the social security office, complete necessary paperwork and submit a copy of the death certificate and your birth certificate proving that was …your parent
Survivor social security benefits At what age can a widow with no dependents receive social security benefuts?
At age 60, or at age 50 if Social Security also finds them disabled. They are reduced benefits if taken early.
When can you receive your social security retirement benefits?
You can receive social security benfits at the age of 65 or if you were born after 1959, 67. This is said to possibly increase with the increasing number of older individuals …in our country and the dwindling number of younger individuals putting money into social security.
How old do you have to be to receive Social Security benefits?
Unless you are blind or disabled, the earliest you can receive benefits is at age 62,
Is it possible to receive unclaimed Social Security benefits from a parent?
No. There really is no such thing as "unclaimed" Social Security benefits. If a person pays FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes but dies before he or she can collect ben…efits, his or her widow or widower and minor children, or adult children disabled before age 22 (if applicable) can collect monthly checks for survivors' benefits. Able-bodied adult children or those who became disabled after age 22 cannot collect money from a parent's Social Security (FICA) contributions. The unpaid amount remains in the Social Security trust fund. It is possible that a deceased parent was due one monthly Social Security payment at the time of death. Under these circumstances, the benefit can be paid to the next of kin. For more information, see Sources and Related Links, below.
Can you receive Social Security benefits and a 401k?
Yes, they are separate and unconnected programs.
Do you have to pay taxes on social security disability benefits that you receive for your dependent?
if you have income over $25,000
Social security benefits for children with a deceased parent?
yes the children with deceased parents get social security benefit's. but only if the parents were workers in the US.
Do surviving children receive their parents social security?
Only if underage

It was such a pleasant experience to work with Pete who I found to be easy to work with, available and truly concerned for my situation. I would recommend him to anyone who wants a lawyer that is true to their oath!!
Posted by CCook
Mr. MacIsaac represented me in a case involving a very serious injury. He really went above and beyond what I expected from an attorney and I was very pleased with the result. I would not hesitate to refer a friend or family member to him. He's an excellent attorney.
Posted by GH
Peter obtained a large settlement for our family and we became very close with him during a very difficult time.
We had been told that he was one of the best plaintiff's attorneys in New Jersey. As soon as we saw him arguing our case in court, it was clear to us that we chose the right attorney. We very quickly realized why there had been so much buzz about Peter and his accomplishments. He was always available to us and spent countless hours answering our questions and meeting with us. We highly recommend him.
Posted by anonymous
I can't say enough good things about this man. Peter handled a very complex matter for my family, and he went out of his way to help and protect us in ways we didn't even know about. He cares about people, is a tireless worker, and is honest. He is one of the finest attorneys in all of NJ and we remain close friends to this day. I highly recommend him.

Also discussing Bella Swan's romantic dilemma, Miss Love Hewitt dished, "[My love life] sometimes feels more complicated [than hers]," she said. "Nobody ever just says, 'Can I bite you?' And if they did, I'd be like, 'Yes!' And we could just move on with our lives, and it would be amazing!"

The GCSE specification is a Modern History syllabus that focuses on the major events and personalities of the 20th Century. In so doing, it seeks to take you forward from and builds upon, all the History you have covered so far. The aim is to provide both a clearer understanding of the present from a detailed study of the recent past and a firm grounding in the skills of objective investigation, analysis and argument, both written and oral. A range of up-to-date texts is available, and the department is well stocked with videos and DVDs, which are used when appropriate. Skills gained can be carried forward to A Level, or hold good as they are. In either event, History is an excellent subject for developing a trained, well-disciplined mind and for nurturing and sustaining an interest in the past.
The syllabus is in three parts as follows:
Unit 1 Written Paper 1 hour 45 minutes – 60 marks - 37.5% of total marks
History in outline study of:
International Relations: Conflict and Peace in the 20th Century, 1901 – 1955
Unit 2 Written Paper 1 hour 45 minutes – 60 marks - 37.5% of total marks
Two of the three following Depth Studies:
1. Russia/USSR, 1914 - 1941
2. Germany, 1919 - 1939
3. The USA, 1919 - 1941
Unit 3: Historical Enquiry (Controlled Assessment)
40 marks – 25% of the total
One unit of study from the following aspects of British History:
The controlled assessment unit will completed in Year 11, i.e. when the requisite skills have been sufficiently acquired and developed. The likely unit of study will be Britain at War. This will focus on how different methods of fighting and modes of warfare developed in the First and Second World Wars. It also links well with the biennial field trip to the Flanders and Somme battlefield sites.

English Alphabet Written Entirely On Butterfly Wings
Naturalist and photographer Kjell Sandved found patterns resembling letters on the wings of moths and other insects.
Naturalist and photographer Kjell Sandved spent decades traveling the world and photographing countless species of butterflies and moths. While looking at the images up close, he found an alphabet in the patterns on their delicate wings:
One day many years ago, as I was looking through a microscope at a tropical moth, to my surprise I noticed a tiny, perfect letter F hidden on the wing. I was astounded and wondered if I could find other letters. Perhaps I could even find the entire alphabet in the wings of butterflies and moths! I decided that I was going to be the first to try.
Sandved compiled a collection of pictures and the resulting Butterfly Alphabet features all twenty six letters and single digit numbers, naturally occurring on the insects' wings.
As well as a book with close-up photographs of the patterns, Sandved has been offering customers the chance to buy a poster of the alphabet and custom prints of words spelled out in the letters.

Homer-Center finalizes staff moves
CENTER TOWNSHIP — The Homer-Center School District has made the final staffing moves in advance of the students' return to classes for the 2013-14 school year.
The school board on Thursday hired Emily Gates as a third-grade teacher in the elementary school at a salary of $54,149, to be increased according to the teachers' contract for the 2013-14 school year.
Rather than specifying the percentage of pay raises to be awarded to employees for this school year, the district and teachers established a formula to grant increases based on the district's ability to pay them.
The formula, created during labor contract negotiations in early 2011, sets the raise at the average of the district's Act 1 index (2.4 percent) and the basic education funding increase provided in the state budget (1.4 percent), or 2 percent, whichever is greater.
The average of the revenue factors appears to be 1.9 percent, so Homer-Center teachers are in line for salary increases of 2 percent; therefore Gates' starting pay will be approximately $55,230.
The board also authorized the assignment of high school mathematics teach-er Matthew Rodkey to serve as dean of students during his noninstructional duty periods, assisting high school Principal Jody Rainey, with no adjustment in his salary.
Completing the staffing assignments, the board approved lists of substitute teachers, custodians, cleaners and cafeteria workers for the new school year.
In other business, the board:
• Authorized a one-time refund payment to the tax collection company Pennsylvania Municipal Services of $10,189.64, representing the overpayment of wage taxes withheld from workers who later were determined to be residents of other school districts.
• Agreed to hire Total Asphalt Management to fill cracks and paint lines on the school parking lots at a cost of $6,270.
• Approved payments of $695 for air conditioner unit repair and $3,850 for exterior ductwork repair by Griffith & Petz Company.
• Accepted the resignations of crossing guards Jean Adamsky and Judy Fleming; hired Loretta Blystone as a crossing guard at a salary of $8 an hour beginning Monday; and announced that the district still is seeking a second new crossing guard.
• Hired Amy Stefan and Jaime Wagner as 4-hour cleaners at a salary of $9.13 an hour, and changed Wayne Shields from a 4-hour to 7-hour cleaner, beginning Monday.
• Accepted the resignation of instructional aide L. Lorraine Henry.
• Approved Robert Nymick, Shawn Steffee, Joe Iezzi, Nick Raymond, Matt Wilson, Art Stokes, Don Mester and Dave Cook as volunteers with the football program; Rebekah Barrett as a volleyball coach; John Uccellini as a cross country coach; Jerry Rossi as a girls' basketball coach; Chad Yancy, James McLoughlin and Paul Pohley as boys' basketball coaches; and Chellise Allocco, Cory Leydic, Stephanie Mallis and Joy Wilson as members of the band staff.
• Approved a request by coach Scott Bauer and the baseball team to attend the Ripken Experience next spring in Myrtle Beach, S.C., at no cost to the district. Students making the trip are expected to miss 1ᄑ days of school.
• Approved the marching band to attend Band Night and the cheerleaders to take part in the Cheerleading Expo, both events scheduled next week at the Indiana County Fair.
• Approved the use of Memorial Field on Saturday by the Alumni Football USA program for a fee of $1,575.50; and the use of the high school on Nov. 16 for the Youth and Government Elections Convention, at no cost to the organization.
• Approved a contract for administration of the Student Assistance Program by the Armstrong-Indiana-Clarion Drug and Alcohol Commission.
• Approved an agreement with Edulink Inc. to administer an electronic teacher evaluaton software portal at a cost to the district of $2,318.

Publisher's Description▼▲
For too many believers, God's wonderful creation of sex has become a source of spiritual slavery rather than a liberating blessing.
Neil T. Anderson presents a clarifying, refreshing look at God's plan for sex and how Christians can release a distorted view of physical intimacy and embrace
a pure, godly view of this gift. With biblical advice and compassion, Anderson points to the way out of confusion and shame by
- exposing the guilt, anger, and fear involved in sexual struggles
- showing how believing the truth breaks the sexual and emotional lies
- giving practical steps to overcome spiritual entrapment with God's Word
As Christians grasp what the Bible says about who they really are-God's loved children and new creations in His Son-they
will be able to enjoy and value His marvelous design for their emotions and bodies.
A newly updated and expanded version of Finding Freedom In a Sex-Obsessed World.

MyOpinionHouston, Texas5 Stars Out Of 5Excellent for Overcoming Sexual StrongholdsApril 12, 2011MyOpinionHouston, TexasQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for Winning the Battle Within: Realistic Steps to Overcoming Sexual Strongholds.Excellent book! I highly recommend to anyone who is dealing with sexual strongholds of any kind. Also recommend to anyone who has a loved one trying to overcome a sexual stronghold to get a better understanding of what their loved one is going through.
I didn't even know where to start until I found this book. The step-by-step instructions and specific prayers were so helpful because sometimes we don't know what to say to God or what to ask of God. It even helps you realize that there can be other strongholds in your life that are contributing to your sexual stronghold.
If Sex Addicts Annoymous was a biblically based support group, this could be the book on which to base all of their steps.

Mwagusi Safari Camp was the first tented safari camp in Ruaha National Park. Built and managed by Chris Fox, born and raised locally who is passionate about Africa, the park and wildlife and whose knowledge of the area extends back to long holidays spent camping in this area before it even became a National Park.
Mwagusi camp is a rare gem on the safari circuit, tucked away in the far north east corner of the Ruaha National Park on the banks of a sweeping bend on the Mwagusi Sand River. One of the very few owner run camps in the area Mwagusi camp is a charming, small, exclusive tented camp of 13 bandas which snake along the sandy banks of the river. All manner of wildlife descend here to dig holes in the sand revealing the clear waters beneath. More than 80 species of animal can be found within 45 minutes drive from the Camp. Almost all of the camp is built from natural materials such as grass thatch, timber, drift wood, stones and reeds, allowing the camp to be in perfect balance and harmony with its surroundings, certainly a safari camp of character.
Renowned for its high‐calibre of local Tanzanian guides and their in‐depth knowledge of the African bush, Mwagusi offers guests rewarding, quality wildlife guiding whether taking the early morning bird walks quietly on foot or the exhilarating game drives in our specially adapted open sided 4WD vehicles.
Nestled into a bank of the Mwagusi Sand River, this small exclusive tented camp overlooks a watering hole in the riverbed. The sight of over 2,000 buffalo flooding the riverbed below the tents and dining banda is not uncommon.
The 13 tents are designed within thatched bandas each with high density mattresses, dressing table, wardrobe, luggage racks and safari chairs all built in the traditional style of the camp. Solar powered lights as well as a number of traditional hurricane lamps provide lighting. At the front of each banda is a large covered veranda with a table and armchairs made from local materials. Each banda has an en-suite bathroom with flush loo and hot shower.
The best of game viewing can be experienced from the seclusion of your veranda.There will be plenty of opportunities for game drives and walks throughout the area, in open sided 4WD vehicles, each with comfortable seats and high shade awning to enable one to stand and still be in the shade whilst game viewing. Each vehicle is equipped with reference books and bean bags for photography, medikits and all the necessities for a day in the bush. They also carry radios for communication with the camp.Walking safaris, accompanied by an experienced guide, or viewing by vehicle without the disturbance of lots of other vehicles is one of the main attractions of Mwagusi's safari adventure.
Excellent bush feel - good use of local materials help make this an authentic safari camp. Excellent game viewing and skilled guides make this a top choice for those serious about their game viewing.
Chris Fox was born in Tanzania and is passionate about Africa, the park and wildlife. His knowledge of Ruaha extends back to long holidays spent camping in this area before it even became a National Park, and whose family helped to ensure that the land was gazetted and fully protected in 1964. When he was a boy he and his family were often the only visitors. As an eight‐year‐old, he would go hunting on foot with his father in this secret, unheard‐of paradise. Apart from schooldays spent in Devon, he has known the Ruaha all his life and his passion for it shines through in everything he says.
Mwagusi, a well‐established camp providing comfort with a hint of understated safari elegance was started by Chris in 1987 and has originated from a "no‐frills safari experience" where the wildlife and personally guided experience is paramount. Raised locally Chris is notorious for his profound knowledge and experience with the wildlife, people and the land of Ruaha. He is best known for his deep understanding of animal behavior especially with wild African Elephants forming astonishing relationships with these incredibly intelligent creatures.
Mwagusi is renowned for its high‐calibre of local guides and their in‐depth knowledge of the African bush. Local Tanzanians benefit from an in‐house guide training program aimed to provide top‐class guides with excellent wildlife and bush knowledge, who have an ability to read animal behavior – knowing when to sit patiently and watch a natural sequence of events unfold.

Debate centers on how horses should die
BLACKFOOT, Idaho - Horses have not been slaughtered in the United States since 2007, when the federal government stopped funding inspectors for the facilities. Animal rights groups supported that action because they feel slaughter is cruel, and the meat potentially dangerous.
It did not, however, stop slaughter. Buyers simply hauled the unwanted horses to Canada or Mexico, where horse processing for meat consumption is allowed. Some feel that is even more cruel and inhumane because the horses are hauled longer distances, and some of the rules for handling the horses that applied in the United States do not apply in other countries.
Animal rights groups are now supporting a congressional bill, H.R. 1094, that would forbid exporting horses over the border for slaughter. The bill has 86 sponsors, which is considered by some politicians to be pretty impressive.
Willie is a 36-year-old quarterhorse and in fine condition for a senior citizen. His pasture mate, Tiger, is 26 years old. These horses will never be sent to slaughter because their owner is a veterinarian who will euthanize them when the time comes.
However, Dr. Dave Stanley does want horse-processing facilities to reopen in the United States.
"I personally am very in favor of it. I think it will increase the quality of the general horse population's life," says Stanley, a veterinarian.
He said that in his practice in Blackfoot, he's seen a huge increase in starving animals since the processing plants closed. He believes it's because there's nowhere to take unwanted horses.
"Since they reduced our access to horse slaughter, the biggest thing I see in the winter is many more cases of starving horses. They go down in the winter. Owners think it's because of the ice," said Stanley. "But when you get there, there's no muscle, no condition under that hair, and the poor things are starving to death. "
Stanley said it's human nature. Some people will haul a horse to the livestock yard to sell, and pocket some money. But those same owners won't spend money to have the horse euthanized.
"Human behavior keeps us from doing the right thing. But that's not an argument for doing the wrong thing," says Nancy Parry of the ASPCA.
Animal Rights Organizations like the ASPCA and PETA do not support reintroducing horse slaughter plants in the United States because , in their opinion, it is too cruel.
The cruelty begins with the long haul to the plant, being crowded into corrals to await slaughter, smelling the blood and hearing the screams of other horses, and the stun gun to the head to knock the horse unconscious.
"They fling their heads when frightened. This is unique to horses. The horses are then hit multiple times by the stun gun all over their heads and necks, injured over and over again," said Parry. "Often they never are properly stunned. But the crews hoist the horse up by one leg and begin the slaughter anyway."
Members of PETA have a long-term solution to this.
"I think establishing a euthanasia center would give people an alternative to shipping them off to slaughter. Hopefully it would be low-cost," said Lindsay Rajt with PETA.
When a horse is euthanized, it is given a shot by a veterinarian that puts it to sleep. There is a cost to that, and there is a cost to have the carcass hauled to the landfill.
Euthanasia centers around the country may be a great goal, but setting up centers to put horses down humanely will not happen overnight. What do horse owners do today?
Stanley said that just like cats and dogs at the animal shelter, there is an overpopulation problem. When it comes to horses, slaughter facilities are an option.
"It's not the best experience for a horse. No one is going to say it's pleasant. But it's the lesser of evils. When you see an animal starving to death slowly, inch by inch, month by month, that misery far outstrips the shortened uncomfortable part of going to slaughter, " says Stanley.
H.R. 1094 is in the House Agriculture Committee now. Most of the co-sponsors are Democrats, It will take the support of some Republicans to get it out of committee.
To view the bill, see http://thomas.loc.gov/home/thomas.php. To find it, type in "H.R. 1094" and mark the bill number box.

'I'm No Longer Afraid' – Palliative Care Patient Story
She was an ombudsman for Santa Cruz County when Mary Ellen Hannah first heard of PAMF's Palliative Care Program, and she was hopeful that it would help many in her community. She never thought that she herself would be a recipient of the services.
Today, she is grateful for the coping skills and new perspectives she gained from working with the program's staff as a patient. "You have a choice in every thing that you do and I like that," Hannah says in this poignant video. "I like having choices and being responsible for my life – and even for my death. They gave me the skills to make those choices. I stopped crying and feeling sorry for myself, because I was no longer at the mercy of life or death – I had choices."
Palliative Care is specialized medical care for people with serious illnesses. It focuses on providing patients with relief from pain, symptoms and stress of a serious illness, whatever the diagnosis. Palliative Care is provided by a team of doctors, nurses and other specialists who work with a patient's other doctors to provide an extra layer of support. This specialized medical service is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness, and can be provided together with curative treatment. It can be offered in a clinical setting or provided at a patient's home.
Headed up by Sharon Tapper, M.D., medical director of palliative care, the program was launched at Palo Alto Medical Foundation Santa Cruz in 2011. PAMF has since added Palliative Care services to Palo Alto in June 2012, with future plans to expand the services organzation-wide.

Dreamweavers was founded by Warren Walker and Bobby Wisdom and is based in Little Rock Arkansas. Both men still remain at the heart of the operation and make key decisions from design to the point of sale in the American market. They also oversee all manufacturing for the global market. Their initial challenge was to find economical and ecological solutions to produce their original designs. One of their early rugs used fabric off cuts and this approach is still in existence today with the 'Executive Rug'. An observant customer will sometimes spot a small 'KFC' or 'Dolce & Gabbana' logo amongst the neck tie fabric used to produce this rug. While not recycled, these are upcycled fabrics - in other words, we make use of materials which no longer have a function.
