Michael J. FOOTE,
Plaintiff (the department) filed a complaint in the Regular Division against Defendant (taxpayer) who had prevailed in the Magistrate Division after taxpayer had filed for bankruptcy and the automatic stay went into effect. The court held that the initial complaint, filed during the stay, was void, and that the later complaint, filed more than 30 days after the department received notice of the lifting of the stay, was not timely filed. Accordingly, the court dismissed the appeal.
Tax Court—Jurisdiction
1. Actions taken after the automatic stay go into effect are void, not voidable.
Tax Court—Jurisdiction
2. When the time for filing a complaint in the Tax Court expires during the duration of the automatic stay, the time is extended to 30 days after receipt of the notice of the lifting of the stay.
Tax Court—Jurisdiction
3. Notice of the receipt of the lifting of the stay given directly to the department and to the department's counsel is adequate notice.
Tax Court—Procedure
4. A routine case management device employed by the Tax Court does not have the power to override federal law.
Tax Court—Attorney Fees
5. It is not appropriate for the Tax Court to award attorney fees under 11 USC § 362 for willful violations of the automatic stay.
Tax Court—Attorney Fees
6. An award of attorney fees under ORS 20.105 is not appropriate when the order violated was an automatic stay in another proceeding before a different court in a different jurisdiction.
Tax Court—Attorney Fees
7. A discretionary award of attorney fees under ORS 305.490 is not warranted when the case before the Magistrate Division is very different than the case before the Regular Division and neither side had opportunity to advance legal arguments in the underlying tax matter.
Oral argument on cross-motions for summary judgment was held November 13, 2007, by telephone.
Keith L. Kutler, Assistant Attorney General, Department of Justice, Salem, filed the motion and argued the cause for Plaintiff (the department).
Darin S. Christensen, Bullivant Houser Bailey PC, Portland, filed the motion and argued the cause for Defendant (taxpayer).
Decision rendered in part for Defendant and in part for Plaintiff March 17, 2008.
HENRY C. BREITHAUPT, Judge.
This matter comes before the court on the motion for summary judgment of Defendant Michael J. Foote (taxpayer) and the Motion for Partial Summary Judgment of Plaintiff Department of Revenue (the department).
The parties have stipulated to the following facts for purposes of resolving these motions. Taxpayer appealed the department's income tax assessment and refund denial to the Magistrate Division of this court. On November 14, 2006, the Magistrate Division issued a decision in taxpayer's favor on the income tax issue. On December 7, 2006, taxpayer filed for bankruptcy protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of California. On January 11, 2007, the department appealed the Magistrate Division decision by filing a complaint in this division. The department's filing acknowledged that a bankruptcy proceeding was pending.
On February 9, 2007, taxpayer notified this court of the bankruptcy proceeding, and this court notified both parties by letter dated February 20, 2007, that the case would be put into abeyance pending the resolution of the bankruptcy proceeding. In that letter, the court requested that taxpayer's counsel for the proceeding in this court notify the court when the stay was lifted.(1)
On June 14, 2007, the bankruptcy court mailed notice to the department that the stay had been lifted. The department logged receipt of that notice on its system on June 21, 2007. On July 13, 2007, taxpayer notified the court that the stay had been lifted. The legal counsel for the department received that notice on July 17, 2007, and the department refiled its complaint on August 13, 2007. Taxpayer answered and filed a motion for summary judgment. The department filed a motion for partial summary judgment.
(1) Did the department timely file its complaint?
(2) Is taxpayer entitled to an award of attorney fees?
1. Taxpayer asserts that the department's January 11, 2007, complaint in this matter is void by reason of federal bankruptcy statutes and that the department's August 13, 2007, complaint is time-barred under federal and Oregon law. In addition, taxpayer requests attorney fees for violation by the department of the automatic stay imposed by federal bankruptcy law. The department asserts that its initial complaint is not void, and, even if it was, that the second complaint was timely filed, and that taxpayer is not entitled to attorney fees.
A. Timeliness of the department's complaint
Section 362(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 USC) provides as follows:
"* * * a petition filed under section 301, 302, or 303 of this title, or an application filed under section 5(a)(3) of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970, operates as a stay, applicable to all entities, of--
"(1) the commencement or continuation, including the issuance or employment of process, of a judicial, administrative, or other action or proceeding against the debtor that was or could have been commenced before the commencement of the case under this title * * *."
Taxpayer filed his petition under section 302. Actions that are taken after the automatic stay goes into effect are void. Schwartz v. United States, 954 F2d 569, 571 (9th Cir 1992). See also Cam and Cam, 216 Or App 358, 174 P3d 1018 (2007). Accordingly, the department's January 11, 2007, complaint is void and did not commence the action against taxpayer.
2, 3. The Bankruptcy Code ameliorates what could be adverse effects of the stay by providing that:
"if applicable nonbankruptcy law, an order entered in a nonbankruptcy proceeding, or an agreement fixes a period for commencing or continuing a civil action in a court other than a bankruptcy court on a claim against the debtor, or against an individual with respect to which such individual is protected under section 1201 or 1301 of this title, and such period has not expired before the date of the filing of the petition, then such period does not expire until the later of--
"(1) the end of such period, including any suspension of such period occurring on or after the commencement of the case; or
"(2) 30 days after notice of the termination or expiration of the stay under section 362, 922, 1201, or 1301 of this title, as the case may be, with respect to such claim."
11 USC § 108(c). Here, the time for filing a complaint under Oregon law, ORS 305.501(5)(a),(2) expired while the automatic stay was still in effect, therefore, the department had until 30 days after receipt of notice of the termination of the stay in which to file its complaint.(3) The department does not dispute that receipt of the notice of the termination was logged on its system on June 21, 2007. The department, therefore, had until July 21, 2007, to file a complaint in this matter. The department filed its complaint on August 13, 2007, well beyond the statutorily prescribed deadline.
The department argues that its January 11, 2007, complaint was timely filed, asserting that the court's February 20, 2007, letter operated to allow the court to deem the department's January 11, 2007, complaint filed on July 13, 2007--the date the court received notice from taxpayer that the stay had been lifted--because its complaint was a "protective appeal" that acknowledged the bankruptcy and stay. The department also argues that its August 13, 2007, complaint was timely filed, asserting that the court's February 20, 2007, letter stayed the thirty day period from commencing until its counsel received notice that the stay was lifted, which occurred on July 13, 2007.
4. The department appears to be suggesting that this court can override federal law by a routine case management device issued in response to taxpayer's notification that there was an automatic stay in effect. The department seeks to relieve itself of its own duty to police the bankruptcy proceeding by reason of the court's case management letter. The purpose of the letter was to request that taxpayer, as a courtesy, notify the court when the stay was lifted so that the court could effectively manage its docket in compliance with governing law. The letter does not, nor could it, operate to extend deadlines provided by a concededly valid and applicable federal statute.
The department also argues that, apart from the court's letter, if the initial complaint was void and, therefore, no case was extant, the court could neither have put the case in abeyance nor taken it out of abeyance after the stay was lifted.(4) The department then reasons that the case must have existed, and, in order for a case to exist, a timely complaint had to have been filed, and, therefore, one of its complaints must have been timely filed. The court disagrees. Governing federal law renders the initial filing void. No inference or argument based on what this court did or did not do can change that legal reality. Accordingly, the department's appeal was not timely filed under federal and Oregon law.
B. Attorney fees
Taxpayer requests an award of attorney fees pursuant to 11 USC § 362(k), which allows an award of attorney fees for willful violation of the automatic stay, alleging that, because the department filed its complaint with the knowledge of the bankruptcy, it willfully violated the automatic stay. In the alternative, taxpayer requests attorney fees under ORS 20.105(1) for disobeying a court order, or ORS 305.490(3).
5. The court is of the view that it would not be appropriate to award attorney fees under 11 USC § 362. The court notes that taxpayer could have raised the violation in bankruptcy court. In addition, other states have declined to address claims for violations of the automatic stay. See City Line Auto Mall, Inc. v. Citicorp Leasing, Inc., 45 AD3d 717, 847 NYS2d 102, 106 (2007) ("The United States Bankruptcy Court has exclusive jurisdiction over a claim for damages for violation of a bankruptcy stay."). That is consistent with Eastern Equip. & Servs Corp. v. Factory Point Nat'l Bank, 236 F3d 117, 121 (2001), which held that "[a]ny relief for a violation of the stay must be sought in the Bankruptcy Court" after noting that the bankruptcy code provides its own comprehensive set of "penalties and protections to govern the orderly conduct of debtors' affairs and creditors' rights." Id. at 120.
6. The court also concludes that an award of fees under ORS 20.105 would be inappropriate. Mattiza v. Foster, 311 Or 1, 10-11 (1990), requires that a court awarding attorney fees under ORS 20.105(1) make specific findings as to the order or orders violated. The court is not of the view that an automatic stay in another proceeding before a different court in a different jurisdiction is the type of order contemplated by ORS 20.105. See generally Dahl v. St. John, 152 Or App 748, 955 P2d 315 (1998) (upholding trial court's award of attorney fees for repeated violations of that court's orders when trial court made findings identifying which of its orders had been disobeyed).
Finally, taxpayer asks for an award of attorney fees pursuant to ORS 305.490(3), which provides that the court may award attorney fees
"[i]f, in any proceeding before the tax court judge involving taxes upon or measured by net income in which an individual taxpayer is a party, * * * the court grants a refund claimed by the * * * taxpayer or denies in part or wholly an additional assessment of taxes claimed by the Department of Revenue to be due from the * * * taxpayer."
A claim for attorney fees under ORS 305.490(3) must be examined in light of "the factors listed in ORS 20.075." Dept. of Rev. v. Wheeler I, 18 OTR 129, 137 (2004) (citing Preble v. Dept. of Rev., 331 Or 599, 602, 19 P3d 335 (2001)). That statute provides as follows:
"A court shall consider the following factors in determining whether to award attorney fees in any case in which attorney fees are authorized by statute and in which the court has discretion to decide whether to award attorney fees:
"* * * * *
"(b) The objective reasonableness of the claims and defenses asserted by the parties.
"* * * * *
"(d) The extent to which an award of an attorney fee in the case would deter others from asserting meritless claims and defenses.
"(e) The objective reasonableness of the parties and the diligence of the parties and their attorneys during the proceedings.
"* * * * *."
7. ORS 305.490 provides the court discretionary authority to award fees in certain matters. Typically the court has awarded fees under that statute in cases where, as here, the taxpayer was successful in the Magistrate Division and the department has unsuccessfully appealed on substantially the same legal theory in the Regular Division. Wheeler, 18 OTR at 138. That observation is supported by the fact that ORS 305.490 allows a taxpayer to recover fees and costs incurred in the Magistrate Division as well as the Regular Division after a successful Regular Division appeal. Here, the bankruptcy and automatic stay created a very different case than that in the Magistrate Division, and there was not an opportunity for either side to advance legal arguments in the underlying tax matter. In addition, a remedy for violation of the stay was available in the bankruptcy court. Accordingly, an award of attorney fees pursuant to ORS 305.490(3) is not appropriate here. Acting in violation of the automatic stay rendered the department's first complaint void and had the further effect of resolving this matter in favor of taxpayer. Any further remedy for violation of the automatic stay must be sought in the bankruptcy court.
The automatic stay operated to render the department's January 11, 2007, complaint void, and the August 13, 2007, complaint was not brought within the time allotted by 11 USC § 108(c). Accordingly, the appeal is time-barred and must be dismissed. In addition, the court declines to award attorney fees under 11 USC § 362(k), ORS 20.105(1), or ORS 305.490(3). Now, therefore,
IT IS ORDERED that Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment as to the timeliness of Plaintiff's complaint is granted;
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment as to an award of attorney fees is denied;
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion for Partial Summary Judgment is denied.
1. Taxpayer had separate counsel in Southern California for the bankruptcy proceeding.
Return to previous location.
2. All references to the Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) are to the 2005 edition.
Return to previous location.
3. The department has not identified or claimed the benefit of any Oregon statute extending the period for filing in a case such as this.
Return to previous location.
4. Indeed, the court notes that it could not have ordered anyone to do anything, by letter or any other method, if there was no case before it.
Return to previous location.

top should do the trick!
I can only run Backtrack 3 Final on my laptop for a few hours until it freezes. What happens is firstly it freezes for a few seconds, and then it comes free again. About ten seconds later, it will freeze again. These freezes become more frequent and for longer duration each time. Within a minute, the system becomes unusable and I'm holding in the power button for 10 seconds.
I can leave Windows XP on overnight so it's not an inherent problem in the laptop.
What's the best way of going about troubleshooting this? I was thinking of looking at what processes are consuming what resources, see which one of them is hogging the CPU, but I only have experience doing this in Windows. How would I do this in Linux, perhaps by using "top -c" or "ps -aux".
Any ideas?

I've personally talked to several people that have had the same attitude / idea about going and shooting preppers so that they can take what they have after the SHTF. I usually, bring up the show "Doomsday Preppers" in a general conversational manner and away they go.
I just look at it as an advanced warning of who to shoot first – because if they come to my door after "it hits the fan" I already know what their plan is… What will you do?

Colin Speakman
Price £4.50
This is the second poetry collection by well-known regional writer and countryside campaigner, Colin Speakman. His publications include over 50 books, many about the Yorkshire Dales, but he is also gaining a reputation as a fine poet. As Mary Sheepshanks says he "paints vivid pictures with words so that in these varied, always interesting, occasionally surprising but accessible poems we see through his perceptive eyes...Here are poems to be read again and again."

Thinking of You Always: The Letters of Cpl. Lewis Hill 1941-45 - joint publication with Stairwell Books, ISBN 978-1-939269-36-2
This memoire, edited by Pauline Kirk, gives a remarkable insight into the lives of servicemen and women during the second World War. Lewis Hill was mustered into the RAF in 1941. From the beginning 'Lew' wrote home to his wife, retelling his experiences as an enlisted serviceman. He describes the rigours of day to day life on and off the base, and offers an alternative view to the tales of daring-do typical of wartime memoires. This incredible record follows him through his training, service with a balloon squadron in the UK, journey on a troopship to the Middle East, and subsequent service in Kenya and Egypt. He spent many of his leave periods touring Palestine, Syria, the Lebanon and Egypt, and his perceptive comments throw an interesting light on modern-day events in those troubled areas. Through all his years of separation his love for his wife never wavered. Thinking of You Always is a love-story too.

Glue/Weld Plastic?
The hot water 'nipple' on the back of my swim platform shower fixture by Whale has cracked along the side and under the attached supply line, no doubt due to inadequate winterization on my part. There are no parts available from Whale. I'm hoping that I can glue/weld to repair it. The 'nipple' is about 3/8" and may be ABS plastic (the other-wise very helpful customer service people weren't sure). The grey plastic semi-flexible supply line attached to the 'nipple' was apparently heated and pushed on with a small hose clamp added. I see several types of plastic glue/weld at the box store, but have no idea which may be best for this type of repair.
Any thoughts on how to repair this would be appreciated.
If an external glue or weld job doesn't seem feasible, would filling the opening with epoxy and drilling out a somewhat smaller ID hole make any sense?
If this is really a nipple, have you considered a brass nipple from a plumbing supply store? if it is part of a molded faucet, is there enough material in the body to cut off the nipple, drill it out, and epoxy in a barbed fitting to connect the supply line? that would be stronger than gluing the nipple, because of the solid part of the faucet around the glue joint.
It would help if you knew what kind of plastic it was. ABS is one of the tougher ones to work with, since not many adhesives IIRC stick well to it.
It's hard to tell without seeing the parts.
You might be able to cut off the broken nipple and tap a pipe thread in the hole. Then you could thread in a new nipple.
The 'nipple' is molded into the body of the fixture. Dawg..Don't know how to determine the plastic type if the customer service people don't know. I hadn't thought of tapping in a thread for a real nipple. Will take a closer look at that possiblity. Size may be a problem unless I could build the original up then tap it.
Will epoxy adhere to ABS if that is what is?
Thanks to all.
You can still buy ABS glue and I'm pretty sure an "all purpose" glue is available for both ABS or PVC products. Both types of glue require a primer. Check with a supply house like Fergusons. They may also have an assortment of nipples that might work if you decide to replace the cracked one.
Dawg...Whale states that the plastic is polypropylene and cannot be glued...any thoughts on repair? Will epoxy adhere?
Polypropylene is what I was afraid of... I've dealt with it a fair bit..and the stuff just doesn't have any good adhesives for it... Don't believe there are any solvent-type cements for it either.
Can you post a photo of the pieces. That might make it easier to suggest an alternative... since it is hard to know what exactly you're dealing with from a verbal description.
I have been working in and around injection molded plastics for 15+ years. To the best of my knowledge there is no adhesive that will reliably bond with polypropylene. There are ways to weld polypro using scraps of the same material and a low heat soldering iron but the strength never equals the original.
I think your best bet is follow the previous suggestion of cutting off the broken part and fitting in a new nipple. However, this may also lead to problems as the plastic may crack due to the hoop stress associated with NPT fittings...
You are in a tough spot.
Not to hijack the thread but I have a related question.
I need to drill a 3/4" hole through my mast step (tabernacle) into my boat for the mast wiring. This hole will go through 1/2" of aluminum then 4" of deck to the interior of the boat. I want to use hose to form a drip loop above the hole but I'm worried that epoxy will not stick to the hose. Any suggestion?
Frog - do you have any experience with hose and epoxy?
Thanks for any help

31 days" is, and just happened to read a post on Emily's blog and then couldn't stop feeling this strange nudging on my heart and hearing the word MARGIN bouncing around between my ears.
See, today has been one of those days. You know, the ones where you feel like everything is just entirely too hard? Where things feel so completely overwhelming, and it's grey and drizzly and all you really want to do is crawl into bed, pull your covers over your head and hide for a couple hours (or possibly a few weeks). You do understand that feeling right? Please say it's not just me. Sometimes I get all stressed out (read: NOT breezy) even on days like today where nothing terrible happens, just a series of small disappointments and failures and tantrums and mis-steps that all contribute to making me feel like perhaps I can't catch my breath. So Adam told me not to come home until I had spent some time at Starbucks just relaxing and breathing and reading (have I mentioned he's the best?), but I couldn't find my Kindle (shocking, since our house is a hot mess) so I mostly have just been sitting here sipping a salted caramel mocha and thinking.
And I've stumbled into the conviction that God wants to teach me some things about margin. Because our lives currently? Have no margin.
Pages need margins to be read. Words need margin to be understood. Our brains need margin to think, and our lives need space to breathe, to process, to think, to move forward.
And I think we need to figure out this whole margin thing: what is it, what does it look like, how do we get it. . .
So I'm going to do my darndest to commit to taking the next 31 days to listen, read, write, think, ponder, and question . . . what is margin and how can I create some in my life? I hope you'll join me.
And I also hope that you wont be too disappointed if I dont ACTUALLY post every single day this month. Because, like I said, this level of commitment makes me all twitchy and stressed. I just hate disappointing people, ever. Which may, in fact, be a part of the problem.

Ramos arrested in kidnapping case
The Roswell Police Department arrested the second suspect Thursday in a kidnapping and armed robbery case that occurred on July 5. Bryan Ramos, 21, an employee of the Chaves County Detention Center, is charged with accessory to kidnapping and accessory to armed robbery.
The male victim was found walking south of Hagerman. He had been severely beaten. According to the RPD, he had been left to die. The victim was transported to a local hospital and was later flown to [auth] Lubbock for further medical treatment. Sgt. Jim Preston said the victim is still being treated for internal injuries as a result of the beating.
The affidavit of criminal complaint filed with Magistrate Court reported that at the time of the initial interview, the victim had two black eyes and several broken bones in his face. The detective also observed scrapes on his back and his knees.
The record states that his assailants had taken him at gun point, pulled him from the vehicle, a 2001 red Oldsmobile Alero, began striking him and continued kicking him after he fell to the ground.
The victim told officials that his assailants drove him somewhere near Artesia, but said he had little recall of the event. He noted that the male subjects took his wallet, credit cards and cell phone.
Michael "Boonie" Gonzales turned himself in to the police, on June 17, the day his picture appeared as Roswell's Most Wanted. Gonzales graduated from Job Corps last year.
It was the Chaves County Detention Center that alerted the police to Ramos' potential involvement in the crime. According to the court documentation, Ramos denied involvement initially, saying he was in another vehicle and, when the beating began, he and friend Boonie "got the f— out of there." Eventually, he admitted to driving the car, but continues to deny participating in the beating.
Ramos was taken to CCDC. His bond is set at $100,000.

One question asked of Gundy dealt with if the head coach saw anything previously that led him to believe the fourth-year junior would come out and play the way he did Saturday night when freshman starter Wes Lunt came out with concussion-like symptoms.
Chelf came in for his first really competitive action and completed 16-of-27 passing for 233 yards with a touchdown and an interception that ended the Cowboys chances deep in K-State territory with a little under two minutes to play.
"He hadn't played much," said Gundy. "That is the first time he'd really played. I think he managed the offense pretty well. He was sound in his reads, and he showed some mobility."
Asked about the quarterback position and that it had been a while since the Cowboys had dealt with adversity like what they are experiencing at one position, Gundy corrected the band of media on the call.
"We've just come out of some issues and some pretty good shuffling at wide receiver the last month," he added.
Indeed, in addition to the eight catches by veteran Josh Stewart and the seven catches for a team-high 135 yards from junior Charlie Moore, the Cowboys receivers numbers showed Austin Hays with four receptions for 81 yards, including the 53-yard touchdown to give the Cowboys a 7-0 lead, and fellow freshman Blake Webb with two catches for 46 yards.
There was no talk of the upcoming game with West Virginia that will kickoff at 2:30 p.m. Saturday in Boone Pickens Stadium and be televised on ABC.
Gundy, like each Sunday, had come out of team and special teams meetings before participating in the teleconference, and he was pretty matter of fact about the state of the Cowboys right now.
"They are down right now and they should be," he said. "The way we played and the way we coached, I failed them this week because they weren't prepared.
"We turned the ball over, we tackled poorly, we were terrible on special teams. They will have a tough night but they will need to play better by Tuesday (next time the Cowboys practice after tonight)."
All that said, Gundy did say he told them that even with the terrible play on special teams, the poor tackling, the turnovers, and the fact they turned defensive linemen loose on the quarterbacks, they were still driving deep in K-State territory with a chance to score late in the game and really make it interesting.
There is some hope for Monday and Tuesday and beyond.
That does bring us back to the question that all Cowboys fans want answered, who is going to play quarterback? Stay tuned.

That is one teeny tick. Agh. Were you by what looks like a river? And did you find any buddies later that you might have initially missed?
I was in California, along the Navarro River in Mendocino County 2 summers ago when one of these little dickens dropped on me from a willow tree that I was foolish enough to sit under. I knew the larvae in particular frequently fall on unsuspecting mammals, such as the white tail deer that cross the narrows, from tall bushes and trees but the view from my log was so cool I tossed off the worry. Or I did for about 15 minutes until I saw the immature (about 2x the size of the poppyseed one on your palm) wending its way through the delicate forest of hairs on my forearm. Yikes! This is one of the very rare arthropods that cause an involuntary and violent reaction from me, usually manifesting in a sudden flinging motion. This time I shook it off onto a white t-shirt to get a better look and sure 'nut, it was Ixodes (doesn't it have a new genus name now?). Even knowing it can take up to 48 hours for any possible transmission (from any others as-yet unknown companion ticks) to occur did not help me relax enough to stay at the river; home I went to search for hitchhikers.

Kimber vs Dan Wesson?
Hello twosocks, I own and shoot both. Mine have all been full size but my experience may give some indication of the overall quality of both makes. Over a period of several years, I have owned five Kimbers and two Dan Wessons. IMHO, they are both quality production type guns. While the Kimbers are fitted well, the Dan Wessons are fitted a bit more precisely and don't seem to have any MIM parts, if that matters to you. The DWs show evidence of internal fitting, polishing, etc. that I have not seen in 40+ years of owning various manufacturer's production 1911s. The DWs obviously cost more than than most Kimbers but now, owning both, I see why. No bashing of either DW or Kimber here. I consider both to be worth the prices asked, and intend to keep shooting and enjoying both...ymmv

Hey twosocks - as a former Kimber owner I can give some feedback. Btw I never had any hard feelings for Kimber I just sold mine to fund the ECO. I owned the Ultra Carry II in stainless and it was a great pistol. For me, I ended up having to play around with the mags on the Kimber until I found what worked best. I ended up using the Kimpro Tac-Mags in the UC II and after some "break in" it ran nicely. Never had that issue on my ECO thus far (at least at 125 rounds to date).
Overall the parts on the DW are just nicer. My understanding is that all parts are either manufactured by DW or they source parts from quality manufacturers, e.g. EGW, Ed Brown, VZ Grips, etc.
The Duty Coat (if you go with the non-stainless version) is supposed to be extremely durable on the DW.
I would guess that by the time you changed out all the parts on a Kimber depending on your base model (not that its necessary) you'd be at or above the cost of a DW depending on how handy you are, e.g. sights, MSH, thumb safety, etc.
Finally, I can't speak for Kimber customer service since I didn't have to interact with them. But I can say that customer service at DW (Keith) have been extremely helpful and fast in sorting out a grip bushing issue that I caused on my ECO.
I'm sure others have more ideas and thoughts but I figured I'd share my own experience.
Last edited by jsn124; 07-23-2012 at 02:10 PM. Reason: added details
I went with DW because I had heard that Kimbers were a bit on the slow side, and a couple of the other guns were a tad over priced.. There were only a few years that the quality of the DW revolvers suffered and I believe that was after the company was sold for the first time and the machinery was a bit worn out. After the company was purchased by the current owners the quality has risen steadily and is once again one of the finest firearms made. Customer service is once again on the rise and I'm told it is due in large part by the lady working in the front office. If they just iron out a few reliability issues, this will once again be the go to gun company. JMHO
Rock185 and jsn124 thank you for the replys both were helpful. May start look at DW a little closer. Thanks again
twosocks - glad to help but one more key point I should add. I suppose there is debate around this subject and I'm not sure if you have the series II pistols. If I understand correctly the series II refers to the Swartz safety / firing pin block safety Kimber utilizes on this line of pistols.
Some folks really don't like it and this seems to be another complaint with the series II pistols.
The Dan Wesson ECO doesn't have this feature which seems to be a good thing in that it is one less thing that *could* malfunction at a critical moment. I don't have any stats to back that up but simply relying on general mechanical sense / idea that *less is more*. This is not meant to start any argument but only providing more information to help you make the best decision as you look at DW's.
Last edited by jsn124; 07-23-2012 at 02:21 PM. Reason: grammar
I like Kimbers. (BUT) I have no reason to have, or pay for, a Swartz firing pin safety.
MIM has never been issue for me, I have too many 1911's to shoot one 30,000 rounds for MIM to show up as faulty.
Dan Wesson makes the features I like. Ramped barrels if the weapon has a alloy frame. True Commander size Compact, with conventional barrel bushing.
Flat wire single recoil spring on Officer 'ultra' size pistol, and features I prefer.
Kimbers have been great for me. (BUT) I don't mind spending the difference in price for the Dan Wessons to get the upgrades in parts and features.
I tend to NOT forgive Kimber for SIS slide serrations, on a otherwise remarkable pistol. I have the same feeling about the scales on the Super Carry models. The unique 'bobtail' on Super Carry, for me, less desireable than a
conventional grip with rounded heel (offered on Ultras, but not on Pro?).
My feeling is Kimber is out of touch with people that shoot every week. Simply my opinion.
If there is a Kimber that you like with features you want, I would not hesitate.
Last edited by Onegoodshot; 07-23-2012 at 02:42 PM.
Well, I have one of each. I like them equally for their strengths as both are different. My Kimber is the CDP - 5" with an alloy frame, the DW is a Cbob - 4" SS bobtail.
Bottom line, it all boils down to what YOU are looking for in a gun.
Personnally, for just a few dollars more than what most Kimber top tier 1911's go for, you can have a DW. But again, it's all in what you want your pistol to be.
If you can list them, you don't have enough!
Ive been thinking about a DW valor but I cant find a shop in a 100 mile radius that has a dw for me to look at. Never been big on ordering a gjn ive never handled.
I've had both and I won't be getting another Kimber. They're not bad at all, but I think you can get a better gun for not much more money (and sometimes less). I really liked the ones I had, my first 1911 was a Kimber and two more followed. But DW keeps getting better while Kimber...um...has not. I can't knock 'em but to call a spade a spade, DW is the better 1911.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some death to defy."
I asked myself this same question months ago. I was (and still am) in love with the government size Kimber Eclipse; the black stainless finish, sharp yet simple lines, trigger and hammer just did it for me. Quality, attention to detail, fit and finish, CS and warranty were less than stellar though. Then I came across the DW Valor and after an hour of reading this forum and some other reviews it became pretty obvious that I was going to end up with the Valor. I even had the trigger from the Eclipse installed in my Valor, so I got everything I wanted from the Eclipse and more with my Valor. No hands on experience as it hasn't arrived yet but if you do thorough research between the two I trust many people would come to the same conclusion.
Having said all that, I have a feeling I may end up with an Eclipse at some point.
A couple of my buddies bought Kimbers back in 2003. I went out shooting with them and it was the first time I shot a 1911. I was hooked. I came home and talked to a gunsmith friend of mine who had just bought a Dan Wesson Pointman. He said that the DW was as good as some of the 1911s he had built from scratch for people. He said there was obviously a lot of care, craftsmanship, and quality parts in them. At that time they were cheaper than Kimbers, as well. I got on line and bought one straight from the factory, (the serial number is the initials of the guy running the show at the time and the number 6, I always thought that was kinda cool.) It's a great gun and my friends with the Kimbers agreed that it was everthing that their 1911s were. Since then, I've bought my fifth Dan Wesson this summer, a duty treated VBOB, and it is an amazing firearm. It is so much more refined than that first one, and I thought that Patriot-EXP was the cat's ass.
The Kimbers I shot that hooked me on 1911s were nice guns. And if you pick a Kimber up and it speaks to you-buy it. My friends that still have theirs and wouldn't trade them. I just shot another friend's Kimber 10mm and it was a nice gun-but I like my Razorback better. They're both good guns. I think if you pick up a Dan Wesson, it'll speak to you and you'll buy it.
Duct tape is like 'The Force'. It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
Dan Wesson collector-PT-EXP .45, PT-C .45, V-BOB .45, CBOB 10MM, and Razorback 10MM. It's getting harder to explain to my wife why I need to buy all these guns that look alike.
Well my personal experience with several Kimbers has been atrocious. Granted this was many years ago with Series II guns, but they were junk. I had a thumb safety break and fall off of the gun within several hundred rounds. Slide stop ditto. Grip safety and slide stop broke on the other one with less than a thousand rounds. All were poor quality MIM parts. Maybe you won't shoot thirty thousand rounds through a gun and break or wear out a mim part, but a bad one won't last five hundred rounds.
I know several other people who have had similar experiences with them. I also know several casual shooters who have had no problems with Kimbers. However, I will never own another one. Sorry for the bashing, but that has been my experience with them.
I do own several current Dan Wessons and feel that they are close to the Wilsons and Browns that I have owned as far as fit, finish, and quality goes.
I feel that they are the best combination of quality and options available at their price point.
Experience is the best teacher, but the tuition is very high
I sold my Pro-CarryII to fund my purchase of a 2007 CBob. I've had no reason to regret it. I personally prefer a gun with a bushing. The only thing I gave up was the lighter weight of the Kimber, but a good gun belt and holster more than make up for the difference. MY Pro-CarryII was also one of the ones that had issues with the grip safety. Because of that, I prefer an ignition system with no FPS. When it worked(which was most of the time), it was accurate, easy to shoot well, and a good looking piece of equipment. Get the one that sings to you.
My first 1911 was a Kimber TLE/RL II. Never had a single problem but I really wanted a SS gun. I found a NIB Heritage on Gun Broker and bought it. It too shoots perfectly. Kimber makes a nice gun. It's just that to me the DW is a NICER gun. Fit and finsih seems a bit better to me. I also enjoy no Schwarz safety as to me it's an unnecessary part.
I'll bias my remarks immediately by confessing that I actually liked those old Dan Wesson revolvers, and carried one for years! I won't argue that there are better combat choices in the revolver world, but I was always happy to outshoot anyone that wanted to play with targets.
I really enjoyed the first Kimber I owned, one of their earliest stainless government models. I wish I still had it (and "all" of my DW revolvers!) but I traded it (on a DW PistolPak), and have regretted it ever since. But I have had no luck with Kimbers since that old Series 1 as folks like to call them, and I have tried. I'm not a fan of the extra safety either, but reliability has always been the defeating issue. I'm picky though, and I've had a few that were probably good enough; and certainly better than what our boys in the world wars had! But I do agree with what has been posted, that with much better Dan Wessons for just a little more, why not go that route?
You'll find a lot of us on here that own both Ed Browns and Dan Wessons, and I think that says a lot for DW's. There are many that compare EB's to DW's, but very few that would compare EB's to Kimbers. The perspective from above is probably more telling than that from below. The Valor I had outperformed every Kimber I ever owned, in every way. If I was forced to choose between only a Valor, or allowed to keep the hundreds of lesser 1911's I've owned, I'd take the one Valor for life, and be happy. The CCO that I currently own has been flawless with Tripp mags, as was the Valor. I'm out of touch with Kimber as they stand today, but will probably never buy another one.
Just my opinion! I wish you the best with your choice, and bet you'll have a good time with 'em either way.
The four Kimbers I have owned have been "hit & miss". Two were good, two weren't. Sold them all. Own four DW's now, not a problem with any one of them.
No doubt in my mind.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some death to defy."
I'm shooting a 4" Kimber Pro Carry II and a 5" Stainless II. No issues with either firearm at all. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another at all, but given the choice, I'd go with a Wesson (VBOB, Guardian, or ECO). Their fit/finish is excellent. Their parts are not MIM (not a biggie, but they feel substantial and quality), and I've read WAY too much good about them to not consider them.
While I'd love a Brown, Baer, or something top tier, I feel the Dan Wesson's give me a LOT of what *I* am looking for without breaking the bank for those top tiers.
Dan Wesson cost more $ than Kimber, but for that extra cost, you recieve a lot more value.
I own wilson and nighthawk but, the most accurate gun I ever fired was a range rental kimber. Beat to hell but was a laser.
im just getting prepared for the zombies
wilson combat tactical L.E., Browning hi power, Gemini customs GP100, Springfield XDS, mossberg 500
I've shot and owned Colt,Kimber, and Dan Wesson.The DW is built the way JMB designed them to be without no extra BS parts.They all are good quality in their own way but my new DW RZ-10 seems better built to me than my 2 Kimbers and my old colt I sold.
I own a DW Vbob and the closest Kimber I have to that is my Eclipse Ultra II.
Both have proven to be reliable and accurate. The Vbob holds a slight edge in trigger and a big one in feel but that is subjective.
On the whole, the DW is slicker than the Kimber, I know, I know, ambiguous term but I can think of nothing better to describe it.
I hate the Heine straight 8 sights on the Vbob and will be changing them soon. Other than that, I would take the Dan Wesson, even at a price premium over another Kimber.
I actually have another commander sized gun. Oddly enough, a mk IV Series 80 combat commander. This gun has extensive custom work done to it so doesn't really bear comparison. It is slicker than either and has a better trigger.
I have two kimbers a Compact Carry and an Ultra Carry, both are late 1990s early 2000, bought new. PRE Series II
Both have been great, have amazing triggers and are good shooters. The Ultra is simply a great carry gun.
I would like to update them with Heine Ledge Tritiums at some point, but that is about it. The finish on the black Ultra Carry is not terribly durable, but does not really matter for a carry gun (for me).
I have two DW, a Guardian and V-Bob. Easily the finest, best made firearms I own. Both shoot well, slick, and pretty.
Also have a couple SIGs and a Colt 1973 Gold Cup.
In all, the DW guns are a good investment and great shooters. The current crop of Kimbers no longer feel as well made.
I have a Kimber Custom Crimson Carry II and a Dan Wesson Valor (plus a Ruger SR1911) and I like the DW best of all. The Kimber is nice but not as tight as the DW which also has a better trigger.
These comments also apply to the Ruger even though you did not ask.

Budget performance advice
I live in Arizona so a lot of my highway driving is around 75 - 80 mpr. I have a Goodwrench crate (block # 10066038) with an Edelbrock Performer Manifold and 600 cfm carb, 700r4, and GM 10 bolt with 3.27 gears. This works well on the freeway with good mpg. I want a little more performance without spending a lot of money. I've always had a passion for classic cars and have owned a few, but never got into the mechanical side of it. So please excuse my lack of knowledge. Would a different cam and ring and pinion be a good idea for this low hp set up?
with a budget you can a use a 650 carb but , you know a passion for classic cars. to me means not a need for speed!!!
|The Following User Says Thank You to killeratrod For This Useful Post:
I'm not sure if I'm double posting here but...a good place to start would be a set of headers....headers will increase exhaust flow and even out exhaust pressure with a great possibility of increasing fuel economy, if you go to things like cam shafts, it's a good idea to match them with the parts you have on your engine, heads intake that type of thing. Good bang for your buck is headers.
|The Following User Says Thank You to 69 widetrack For This Useful Post:
Oops. Forgot to mention that I have Hedman headers on there too.
Since you speak of budget I'll leave replacing the pistons on the table, but the round dish piston is not the best way to efficient and effective squish/quench and the mechanical octane that brings to the engine (4-6 more than the fuel you use is rated). But the most effective thing you can do is to change the heads to a modern design with features of the L31 Vortec. However, these require a unique intake because of the bolt pattern and port height. Since you have a decent intake and carb more bang for your buck can be had from the aftermarket. Aluminum heads would be a good choice and living where you do in the desert heat the aluminum would be more forgiving of high temps as that relates to detonation and preignition. These from Speedway are mostly a bolt on that will accept the intake and exhaust you have while providing most of the positive elements of the L31 Vortec: <<< Flo-Tek 102505 Assembled S/B Chevy Aluminum Heads, Straight Plug - Speedway Motors, America's Oldest Speed Shop >>>. This type head with the cam you have will boost the wheezy 8.0 compression to very streetable 9.2 with a .028 inch composite head gasket. Either of these are perfect (GM 10105117, this baby is a multi-layered stainless steel gasket with a 4.1 bore, it's .028 thick, works with iron or aluminum heads, good for holding back high compression and tolerates some surface irregularities in the deck and head surfaces. Or GM 14096405, marine apps with stainless faces over a graphite core, 4.1 bore and .028 thick. This thing hangs tough on uneven surfaces and puts up with high compression ratios. Good for iron or aluminum, this makes a good race engine gasket as it's very tolerant of engines running very hot. It lets the block and head move around to adjust for their temperature differences without breaking its seal and doesn't corrode the aluminum head.
This combination will mostly pick up the off idle through mid rev torque with a nice 30-40 hp rush on the top end for under a thousand bucks while making the most of what you already have.

Thanks oldbogie! Appreciate the reply. Those look reasonably priced too.
|The Following User Says Thank You to douglashwy For This Useful Post:
Thanks Doug. I'll check those out too.
Instead of either head option just install a blow through turbo. Much more power and if you're very very careful the same price. Heads are an easier job for a novice than your own turbo setup though.
A tpi conversion is good for your type of usage too.
|The Following User Says Thank You to ap72 For This Useful Post:
Az57 (07-23-2013)
The "go-to" mods for a SBC are long tube headers and dual exhaust to go w/free flowing intake and a good carb. Better heads like from the aftermarket or even the L31 Vortec can make a big difference if you now have smog heads. A different camshaft is a common mod, but that requires new springs and checking all the clearances. And a new cam must be broken in correctly if it's a flat tappet cam.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. Consider some reading material or videos and keep digging here and elsewhere for the answers to questions that are bound to come up the deeper into engines you get.
Good luck.
You want the best bang for your buck, change your gear ratio first off. Go with something in the low 4's like a 4.11 at minimum. It will increase your launch acceleration by about 30%. Not enough, ditch the small beans engine and go with more cubic inches. Here is a little story. Had a 65 Chevelle back in high school with a 327 with mild performance. It was fun but it jyst lacked power. Messed around with different heads, carb, etc. The imprivements were subtle. Sold the car to my brother and he took the car one evening and we yanked the engine and transmission out of it. Next day we went next door to the junkyard and found a big block buick 455 from a 1970 Electra (not well circulated but they are stage one engines, the same ones they put in the GS models). Spent another few nights after work putting a shift kit in the stock turbo 400 transmission, reseal the engine, tuned the big Quadrajet, shortened the driveshaft, etc. A week later and 200 bucks later we took it for a spin...Holy shipyards! No joke, we turned that car into freakin Frankenstein! Whereas before it would sort of light up the tires with the small beans engine, now it would smoke the tires all the way through the first two low gears before finally hooking up at around 70 mph! At any soeed below 70 you could drop it down a gear and smoke the tires. We also did a lot of work in lightening the car- removing excess sheet metal. Its weight with the 455 was around 2700 pounds.
We never lost another street race after the big block was dropped in. Car was absolutely scary fast from takeoff (buick 455's build max torque at like 2600 rpm). Stock 455 is conservatively rated at like 370 hp but with a good carb tweaker, high energy ignition, and dual exhaust its pretty easy to get that number up over 400 for little money.
Bottom line- there is no substitution for more cubic inches and gearing. Both are cheap and doubles your power instantly.
OP- what vehicle is this engine in, anyway??
His gear reduction in first gear is already at about 10:1 w/the 3.27. That's almost perfect. Going to a 4-something rear ratio will put him over 12:1 and some would say that's too much for an effective first gear. However, if he wants to cruise in OD w/o the trans shifting in and out at the touch of the throttle he may want to go lower rear gears, but he really doesn't need them for the launch possibly unless this is a very heavy rig. IMO. YMMV.
Stage 1 in an Electra? I thought the casting numbers were similar but the Stage 1 was a GS-specific engine that had bigger valve, hotter cam, more CR, etc. There a guy here who knows these cars pretty well, maybe he can chime in. Joe P, you out there? Not doubting you, just hoping to learn somthin'.

I found out about the stage one thing when I went to buy a fuel pump for the engine. Found out that at least in 1970 the lower end is a stage one with the higher compression and higher power setup.
We'll just agree to disagree about the ratio. 12:1 maybe, but 15:1 for the average street performance vehicle? I dunno.
The power in a Stage 1 455 is mainly in the heads (valve size) and cam if I understand it right. The added compression was needed for the sake of the cam. Added compression w/the standard 455 cam wouldn't net nearly as much difference as it did w/the hotter camshaft. It would make it octane-hungry, though.

The Fire Pit is a Free4All PvP enabled arena accessible from Terminus Fort Entrance area that hosts a Treasure Chest event every day.
What's to stop a sage from using niria, putting up phy circle (15sec or 30 sec), pillar (30sec)(anti push), sanctioned grace (15sec), using radon (no magi debuffs)? I can't see the sage failing if these conditions are met. The only way to stop that sage is to use a poison stun. And then hope it hits them amongst the mass of people there.
Also, are we able to both buff and attack players?
Finally, something interesting.
However, wouldn't the endless respawning after death means no one can actually get the chest for 10 seconds? people would just gather around the middle, kill whoever is taking it and the first one to respawn would interrupt the last man standing who's taking the chest. That's an endless battle is it? (Time of respawn wasn't said on the main post nor the details about respawning after getting killed, so i have this assumption.)
A suggestion I propose is to have each players lives, i.e. People will have a certain number of respawns e.g. each player has 15 lives and once that lives had been used it automatically port you out of the arena and have the people who have lives left to battle til one gets the chest.
Haha, Zane bothered me to comment on this so here's what i have in mind.
well.. about this Fire Pit, I hops whatever items are in the chest should be able to trade bc If im going to team up with some players one of the plan is to assign someone to pick up chest while the others guarding then just share loots later on. so I'm hoping that every Fire Pit Fragments to be able for trading.

Dear all,
I'm using Staad.Pro for design building with Seismic Load but this Load is defined as per my country's codes.
My concern is does Staad.Pro can caculate the Mass ,the Center of mass, center of Gravity for each Storey?
As my knowledge, Etabs sofware can solve this problem.
Your reply is much appreciated.
Best regards,
Staad does calculate the mass of the structure to be used in the detemination of the seismic base shear.That is if you mean the seismic mass. But this mass is dependent on the seismic weights which you will input after you define the seismic load parameters. After you define the parameters you will be prompted to specify the seismic weights.You can do this in this sequence. Go to Commands>Loading>Define Load>Seismic Load then choose code. Note that Staad will not use the any dead load which you input in the "Load" tab under the "General" page. You can have Staad print the location of the Cg by adding "Print CG" command after the "Perform analysis" command in the staad editor. After analysis, staad will give you the location of the Cg.
yes of course Staad will calculate the mass as its reference to seismic base shear. I use Robot Millenium, Staad and Etabs every software calculate the mass of the structure for seismic of course there is quite difference in vertical and horizontal distribution because of methods they use compare to hand calculation
In reply to Mark Jayvee Lampad:
Hi mark112, engineerX.
Many thanks for your reply.
I knew that Staad can caculate the mass of the structure.
However as I say in previous. I have to define the Seismic load as per my country's code, but this one is not available in Staad pro. So I should define it manually. My concern is If I define the Seismic Weight, Will Staad can caculate the Mass of a Storey? The center of mass for each Storey. And how can I define the Seismic Weight if my Country's code is not available in Staad?
When I use Etabs, this problems is solved very easy, Just define the weight. Run it and go to the report. All the Weight & Center of mass for each storey will be caculate automatically.
But my present company use Staad.Pro. So I try to figure out this one but haven't had the result.
Anyone can help me?
Your reply is much appriciated.

In reply to HaiNguyen:
i think u need to contact the staad service provider for the great problem u have: no country code was available
You have to check what is the formula used in your code, if they are similar to US or british standard you can easily apply the parameters as per you country's code.
In staad you have to input the mass in terms of loads (i.e. weight) staad will compute automatically the mass based on the loads you input.
In reply to Victor Jr. Tuguinay:
Thank you all for your help.
Actually I have to make the caculation sheet for the Seismic Load as per my country's code step by step.
I already caculated the the base shear manually. I just wonder that does Staad.Pro can caculated the mass & center of mass for each storey so that I can distribute it on each storey. But unfortunately,Staad doesn't as you tell.
Maybe I will run an email to Bentley Service to let them know for futher version of Staad.
Anyway, Many thanks for helping me.
Best regards.

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Global markets for rice are expanding. Different cultures demand rice varieties that meet their particular preferences for eating characteristics. It is important to assess and define the properties of U.S. rice varieties and to determine the factors that influence eating quality. Texture attributes of cooked rice are particularly affected by postharvest handling practices, such as milling degree, drying conditions, and final moisture. In this study, a sensory texture profile was developed for evaluating cooked rice texture. A trained sensory panel found that medium and short-grain rice varieties grown in Arkansas and California and subjected to various postharvest procedures differed primarily in their adhesive attributes. Rices for California were more adhesive that Arkansas rices. Rice samples dried to 15% moisture or those that were deep-milled were also adhesive. The texture profile developed in this study could be combined with other property attributes to guide growers an processors toward varieties and/or postharvest handling practices to achieve characteristics desired by target consumer groups.
Technical Abstract: Texture relationships were studied using both sensory and instrumental texture profile analysis (TPA) techniques to evaluate twenty-one food samples from a wide variety of foods. High linear correlations were found between sensory and instrumental TPA parameters for hardness (r=0.76) and springiness (r=0.83). No significant correlations were found between sensory and instrumental TPA parameters for cohesiveness and chewiness. Logarithmic transformations of data improved correlations between sensory attributes and their instrumental corollaries. The correlation between sensory hardness and the logarithm of instrumental hardness was improved to r=0.96. The correlation between the logarithm of both sensory and instrumental springiness was improved to r=0.86. The correlation between the logarithms of both sensory and instrumental chewiness was improved to r=0.54, which was significant at P<0.05.

Senator Chuck Grassley today joined Senator Mark Udall of Colorado , Rep. Steve King of Iowa, Rep. Jerry McNerney of California, and 40 veterans -- many of whom have found post-military careers in the wind-energy industry -- for a news conference to urge that an extension of the production tax credit for wind energy be included in year-end legislation to continue as many as 60 expiring tax provisions.
Shannon Lehmkuhl of Estherville and Troy Ellis of Newton were among the veterans at the event on Capitol Hill. They were participating in an Operation Free two-day fly-in to meet with members of Congress.
"The production tax credit for wind is working and should be part of the effort in Washington to help get more Americans -- and more veterans -- working," Grassley said. "Certainty about tax policy and affordable energy are factors for economic growth, and as much energy as possible -- both traditional and renewable -- should be produced at home to create jobs and strengthen economic and national security. There's no reason to exacerbate the unemployment problem by letting this successful incentive lapse."
In August, the Senate Finance Committee, with a bipartisan vote, passed an amendment authored by Grassley to extend the wind energy production tax credit. Legislation in the House of Representatives to extend the production tax credit for wind has 118 cosponsors, both Democrats and Republicans.
Grassley authored the production tax credit for wind when it was first passed in 1992. He has worked since then to extend the successful policy. Udall has been a vocal proponent for the wind production tax credit, speaking nearly every day the Senate has been in session to urge his colleagues to extend the production tax credit and secure made-in-America energy and the jobs it creates.
Grassley said the production tax credit for wind is available only when wind energy is produced. There's no benefit for simply placing the turbine in the ground. "It's tax relief that rewards results," Grassley said. "That's much different than failed taxpayer-funded grants and loans made since 2009." The senator said wind energy detractors have blurred the distinction in efforts to undercut wind as a source of clean electricity.
The wind energy production tax credit was created to try to level the playing field with coal-fired and nuclear electricity generation. If the wind incentive is allowed to lapse on December 31, wind energy would be the only form of energy generation without any federal incentive.
Nationwide, wind-energy production supports 75,000 jobs. In Iowa, the wind energy industry employs nearly 5,000 full-time workers, with a number of major wind manufacturing facilities. Iowa generates 20 percent of its electricity needs from wind, and wind energy powers the equivalent of a million homes. Almost 3,000 utility-scale turbines in Iowa generate lease payments to landowners worth $12.5 million every year.
