Nail Polish Idea: The Sexy SwirlThis sophisticated marble manicure is easier than it looks. First, paint your fingernails with a base coat of green (try Bernadette Thompson Fresh and Fab Nail Art Kit). Then, one nail at a time, add another thick coat of green. While that's still wet, use a skinny detail brush to alternate thin diagonal lines of yellow and white. Then, with a clean brush, make three horizontal S shapes from the base of each nail to the tip. Finish with a clear topcoat.
Nail Polish Idea: The Must-Have MetallicTo get a glittery look with rock-star edge, begin by polishing half the width of each nail with neon orange and the other with hot pink; we like OPI Nail Lacquer in Atomic Orange and Too Hot Pink to Hold 'Em. For the silver on top, Thompson used a pro process, but you can get a similar effect fast by adding a metallic crackle topcoat like OPI Nail Lacquer in Silver Shatter. It breaks apart as it dries, revealing the brights!
Nail Polish Idea: The Plus-One PedicureBlack is always edgy on its own, but you can make it anything but basic by painting one toe a different color. Prep nails by wiping them clean with polish remover first. We like Bernadette Thompson Wipe Out Nail Polish Remover, which does the job, minus a harsh chemical smell. Then try Thompson's trick for dark shades: "They tend to run, so leave a little space near the cuticle," she says. And to extend the life of your pedi, paint the top edge of your nails too. For toes that are black, white and chic all over, we like Chanel Nail Colour in Black Satin and Intermezzo.
Nail Polish Idea: The Geo ManiFor this bold look, says Thompson, start with a blank canvas—two coats of white—before painting these graphic Picasso-style designs. After the white dries, use a detail brush to create triangular shapes in different sizes. Our picks: Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color in Going Green, White On and Black Out. Start with green, wait for it to dry, and then go back in with black. Thompson's tip for straight lines: Lay the side of your brush down—the tip can be hard to control—and gently pull it across the nail.
Nail Polish Idea: The Polka-Pop LookHave fun with an electric blue base and bright spots. We like Revlon Top Speed Fast Dry Nail Enamel in Royal and Revlon Nail Enamel in Sunshine Sparkle and White on White. Let the blue dry, then create a half circle on the edge of each nail with white first and yellow on top. "Any time you're doing a bright color on top of a darker one, use white first," says Thompson. Now get creative making dots! Try stamping with an eraser for larger circles or use the tip of a pen for smaller ones. Finish with topcoat.
Nail Polish Idea: The Funky FrenchNeutrals are nice, but try brights! For colors similar to these, we like Essie Nail Color in Below the Belt (white), Braziliant (orange) and Sexy Divide (purple). Alternate purple and orange on all 10. Dry, then add designs. Use your detail brush to create a half-moon in the opposite color at the base of each nail. (For orange on top of purple, create your shape in white first.) Next, make opposite half-moons at the tips with color or white. Finish with topcoat.

Good-bye Ms. Height, See You in the Morning.Tuesday, April 20th, 2010
Our matriarch of justice passed this morning.
Dorothy I. Height (March 24, 1912 – April 20, 2010) who fought for most of her life on behalf of women and blacks, died at the age of 98.
The last time I saw Ms. Height she was in her wheel chair, poised, eagle-eye alert, wearing her signature church lady wide brim hat, and in full control of everyone and everything.
President of the National Council of Negro Women for more than 40 years, advising presidents from Dwight Eisenhower to Bill Clinton on both civil and gender rights, Ms. Height helped advance landmark legislation on school desegregation, voting rights and equality in the workplace.
She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1994, and the Congressional Gold Medal in 2004. Make no mistake about it, Ms. Height was among the coalition of African American leaders who pushed civil rights to the center of the American political stage in the years after World War II, often standing alone as a woman amidst a den of black male preachers, challenging sexism, decrying foolishness, negotiating between factions, calling egos on the carpet, making deals without losing her soul, and calling movements to moral order.
I remember the first time I met Ms. Height. She called me on the phone to invite me to speak at a NCNW meeting. I couldn't believe it was Ms. Dorothy Height on the other line. It was 9pm where I was, 10pm there in her office in DC. She was in her 80s back then. "Ms. Dorothy, what are you doing in your office this time time of night?" I asked incredulously. "Where else do you suppose I'm supposed to be, Renita?" "Yes Mam." I answered.
A few weeks ago after speaking at Howard University Rankin Chapel I was greeted by my mentor and friend, Dr. Marian Wright Edelman who mentioned that she was off to visit Ms. Dorothy who was in the hospital. "How's she doing" I asked. "Ms. Dorothy is doing what she's always doing –even from her sick bed– in charge and giving out orders to everyone." We laughed. "She ordering even you around, Dr. Marian?" I asked. "Child, all any of us can say in reply to anything Ms. Height tells us is, 'Yes Mam. That includes me!'"
Yes Mam.
You have to admire a woman who didn't mind taking care of business.

Easily my favorite piece of denim
By Chase
from Slatersville, RI
About Me Career, Casual, Classic, Contemporary
Comments about 7 For All Mankind The Straight in Raw Indigo Selvage Denim:
I just received The Straight in Raw Indigo, and it's easily my favorite piece of denim in my closet. At 11.0oz, this item maintains a comfortable and wearable feel, yet is rigid enough to remind you that it's not yet been washed. This piece of selvedge is extremely durable, and will last me years if not longer given that it's 3-1 twill. The denim has a fairly soft hand, and the warp is a deep indigo, as the wash code implies. The Straight is a great cut for those of us who don't prefer a skinny proper (e.g.: Paxtyn--though I do own the Paxtyn Goldrush), but want a much more form-fitting cut that isn't the Slimmy. This item isn't just a piece of denim--for me it's a conversation piece. It'll be exciting to see how this items wears!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great jeans
By factor
from Texas
About Me Career, Casual, Classic, Trendy
I wear these as often as possible so that I can start breaking them in before I give them their first good soak in a few months. I really like these jeans as they fit well (even if a little big it feels) and they look great. The materials are very nice and everything feels very solidly made. The added touch of the yellow/red accents on the outer seam of the leg looks great when cuffed. Overall I would definitely recommend these jeans to just about anyone willing to put the money on them as they definitely won't disappoint.
Wonderful Quality but....
By Mike
from Pennsylvania
About Me Trendy
I loved the look and quality of these jeans. I returned them, however, as I felt that they felt too big below the knee. I am used to the "Skinny" fits on 7s, and the standard cut was not for me. I wish that they made the selvedge in skinny.

Good Jeans with a deceiving name
By Ken Li
from San Jose, CA
About Me Career, Casual, Classic
As the previous reviewer had mentioned that this is a good pair of jeans for skinny legs. The "straight" is a tapered fit(apparently modern straight = tapered? Why not name it "The Tapered" with the same moto). The leg is more tapered in than the Slimmy fit (15" vs 15.5"). The fit is close to Standard from waist down to knees and Slimmy from knees down. Good material and would be great for selvedge (the same applies for all slim fitting jeans) because it will bring defined whiskers and fades to your jeans. This jeans doesn't work for my athletic build but I would definitely recommend it to my slim friends. Just remember that The Straight is not a Straight fit...

Great denim, but too tapered
By Vince
from San Francisco, CA
About Me Bargain Shopper, Classic
After seeing these jeans on the website, I decided to try them out at the store for fitment.I own a couple of other 7FAM jeans and was hoping these would fit the same.Unfortunately these do not.Very disappointed as I looking forward to purchasing a pair of selvedge denim from 7FAM.The fit of the pants was perfect with the exception of things from the knee down.Too much tapering going on.The modern slim fit cut is for a guy who has nothing but chicken legs.If one has any type of musculature build these jeans just won't work.Proportioning gets all thrown off.Please 7FAM, make some jeans for us guys who don't have chicken legs.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Hey Vince. The Straight fit is a modern take on a regular straight leg so it is designed with a narrower leg opening. Remember selvage denim will break in as you wear it, so stick with it!

Step 1: Materials
Green duct tape (about 2-3 ft per rose)
Red marker
Green marker
Floral wire (or other stiff wire) (about 10 ft)
I made these with my Scout group the other year for valentines day. We used straws covered with green tape for the stem.
Thanks so much for the write-up! Just made this one and it looks fantastic (if I do say so myself :D)
FWIW, I did not have easy access to floral wire, so I used a disposable chopstick as the stem, and had some thin copper wire that I cut into ~1.5" lengths to get a similar effect. There is plenty of copper wire at the home stores where you buy duct tape.
These would even be waterproof enough to rinse off when they get dusty; a common problem with dried and artificial flower arrangements.

I have a bunch of shallots with the greens (stems) on them, and I was wondering if anyone has experience with them. How are they used? Throw them in with the shallot bulbs? Use them like green onions or chives? What dishes are good with them (or require them)?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Seasoned Advice is a question and answer site for professional and amateur chefs. It's 100% free, no registration required.
I would personally use them exactly like chives, though their flavour may be more intense.
Oh, you could also pickle them. We have pickled ramps at the restaurant right now (homemmade of course). Pickling would mellow out the harshness of the flavour, and be a guaranteed "what is that and why is it so good?" when you feed them to guests.
(Note that we use, and I would advise, a fairly straight up brine, and not the more fermented sort of pickle as that gets into issues of bacteria management and such. Alton Brown did a very informative Good Eats episode on making pickles should you decide to go the fermented route.)

Your Class D license is normally valid for 5 years and expires on your birthdate. Permits normally expire one year from date of issuance. It is very important to renew your license before it expires.If your license has been expired for more than thirty (30) calendar days, you will be paying additional late fees upon renewal of your license.
When your license expires, you are no longer entitled to drive a vehicle or motorcycle and will be subject to the same penalties as someone who has never been licensed.
Tennessee state law requires anyone issued a Tennessee driver license after January 1, 2001 to provide documentation that you are a United States Citizen or a lawful permanent resident at the time of your first renewal. In these instances, you may not renew by mail or by the internet and you will be required to visit a Driver Service Center to renew your license.
If you are eligible and would like to renew your license through the Internet, visit our Online Services menu.
The department mails every driver a courtesy renewal notice approximately eight to ten weeks before their license expires. READ YOUR RENEWAL NOTICE CAREFULLY. There are basically three ways to renew a driver license, which will be explained on your renewal notice.
If you did not receive a renewal notice, you may simply take your current license to any driver service center. The renewal notice itself is not necessary for you to be able to renew your license.
NOTE 1: Drivers holding a Class A, B or C Commercial Driver License (CDL) are required to appear in person to renew their CDL license. CDL holders must also provide their current valid DOT medical card at the time of renewal.
NOTE 2: If you currently hold a Temporary Driver License (TDL) or Temporary Identification License (TID) you will be required to appear in person at a driver services center to process your renewal. You must provide updated documentation proving your current legal presence and length of authorized stay in the USA at the time of your renewal. Two documents proving your current Tennessee residence address will also be required at renewal.
NOTE 3: If you travel, you may wish to consider obtaining a photo license to assist with the necessary credentialing to board a commercial aircraft, passenger rail service such as Amtrak and cruise ships. This will require you to go to your nearest driver service center to have a new photograph made for your photo license.
If a person holds a valid Tennessee license and is in the United States Armed Forces, that license shall remain valid regardless of the displayed expiration date as long as:
While on active duty the military personnel may have a "Code 30" placed on his or her license (which will indicate the license does not expire). The license with a "Code 30" remains valid unless surrendered, canceled, revoked or suspended.
To add this code, military personnel must provide proper identification and required military documents to the driver service center and pay the appropriate fees or submit by mail. Renewals and duplicates can also be handled through the mail with the proper documents and fees.
Members of the National Guard and family members of military personnel are not eligible for this provision.
Once the person has been discharged or separated from such services or has been reassigned to a duty station within the state, he or she must renew his/her license within sixty (60) days following the date of separation on the DD214 form or reassignment to Tennessee.
NOTE: Assignment to Fort Campbell Army Base is considered reassignment back to Tennessee. Fort Campbell Army Base is located in both the states of Tennessee and Kentucky.
The mailing address to request a "Code 30" on your license is:
Code 30 by mail requires special handling by the Department of Safety. Items needed to process a Code 30:

Government Grants - Allowable Expenditures
Grant expenditures are subject to additional restrictions imposed by OMB Circular A-21. All grant expenditures must be evaluated to to ensure they are allowable under the terms of the grant, within the allowed time period, properly authorized and adequately documented.
An electronic Grants Manual has been prepared as a resource for faculty who have received external or federal funding in order to provide the necessary resources to ensure a successful project. Although the College is legally accountable to the grant sponsor as the official recipient of a grant, the Principal investigator is responsible for the proper fiscal management and conduct of the project.
The policies have been provided in order to provide clear guidance as to what costs constitute appropriate charges to federally funded projects, as well as to achieve consistency with other college policies.
The cost principles relating to expenditures on federal awards are contained in the OMB Circular A-21. While the list is long, some excluded items to note are:
- Alcoholic beverages
- Entertainment costs
- Personal expenses or purchases
- Lobbying
- Participant support costs not specifically addressed in your award letter
- International travel costs not specifically addressed in your award letter

In the past i've always used lincoln mig, and miller tig(most recent was a synchrowave 250). Shop im in now just picked up a lincoln precision tig 375 and honestly, not a huge difference in weld quality, just learning the differences in the machines is biggest hurdle. 90% of what we do in the shop is Tig, mainly turbo manifolds, headers, water lines etc in stainless, roll cages in chromoly and exhaust is stainless, titanium which get tigged or mild which generally gets the mig.
The only thing i'd put over the miller w/ the prec tig is the layout makes it easier for someone who doesn't know what their doni to jump in and figure it out, but all in all, i'd call it personal prefrence.Infil

I've heard similiar rumours
We have the same stuff flying around here too. Rigs getting laughed off the 'line for having blue paint instead of grey or red/black. I haven't seen a whole lot of Vantage 300s and 400s on rigs here maybe a half dozen or so but there are a lot of 305G and 305D. I understand wanting DC only units to avoid the issues with reworking already stated. That being said, it should be open to all "DC Only" welders. That makes it a level playing field. Now if you're kicked off the 'line it's 'cause you just don't cut the mustard. That's fair at least.
Just my $.02
Need some explaining, as I always do when it comes to pipe line work. Why do they need "DC" only rigs? Why couldnt you set the miller at "Dc" and use it. I must be missing something. In the work I have done [Equipment repair work] we use mostly smaller welders, Bobcat 225D's and 250D's even an old AEAD and they work great and have welded with them all day long set at DC. Most are diesel but a couple of gas ones too. Diesel is nice cause it runs off the truck fuel tank but usually louder it seems. We have a new "Big Blue Air Pac" thats awesome. Why couldnt they use that? Just curiousScott

Sounds like a crock to me.probably started by someone that owns a red one and has a buddy he wants to get on the job with a red one also meanwhile being listened to by somebody that dont know their a$$ from their elbow.(not meaning the members of the forum)
From what I know of code work...your machine is suspossed to be checked for calibration by the c.w.i for amprage output reguardless of color.
A 80-100% duty cycle D.C machine that can burn 1/8-5/32 electrode should be able to tackle whatever the oil-patch can throw at it.
Whats next the color of the operator.
I think you missed the answer in a previous post. As I read it, the reasoning for pure DC machines was that they did not have the ability to produce AC output, so the operator could not switch and run rods with AC when no-one was looking.
I could be wrong. It's what I understood.
Personaly I cant stand AC and most of the guys I know prefere DC as well. It's just smoother, so I can't figure out why they'd want to use AC anyways. Not to metion cover passes are usually done with 7018 and similar rods so thats just the added pain in the azz of having to switch polarity all the time. For some that mite not seem that bad but some of those guys burn a lot of rod in 8 hours and would probably get anoyed after a while. It sounds like a load of garbage to me. Personaly I think that if you think that the machine matters that much then you don't know enough about welding to go near an oil pipeline or refinery.
just my 2 cents

lincoln/ miller
I have heard this also....that Millers get laughed off the job and didnt understand since our shop has 18 Millers. I called my cousin that works in Colorado because he is a pipeline welder.....he told me that this all started years ago and that was because Lincoln makes the rods and would only guarantee welds that was done with Lincoln welders.....He said their entire crew is Lincoln's but he was not sure if that deal about Lincoln rods had to be burned by Lincoln welders was still in effect but the teasing was still going on when someone showed up blue......
Just what he told me......
Yeah, I read that too, just can't figure out what benefit it would be for the welder to do that. Unless they [the welder] would rather use a different rod than is specified. My understanding is 6010 is for the root pass and is a DC rod. What woudl they use 6011 on AC ???? Not sure. I bet its all a bunch of crapScott
HMW [Heavy Metal welding]
I can't comment on engine drive welders or pipelining but I have yet to find a lincoln in any shop that can keep up with a Miller. The old MP-30's in our shop are THE best welding machines I have ever used for Mig; the cv-300s can't compare. As well, the Dialarcs that we have at school will lay a way nicer bead than any red box I have ever tried. Not so sure about the reliability. When they talk about burning up do they mean the engine or the generator/ welder section?Dynasty 200DX, first generationMakita 5" grinder

Skin cancer is when cancer cells grow in the skin.
The two most common kinds of skin cancer are:
It is important that skin cancers be found and treated early. If left untreated, they can quickly invade and destroy nearby tissue.
Cancer occurs when skin cells in the body divide without control or order. When cells keep dividing uncontrollably when new cells are not needed, a mass of tissue forms. This is called a growth or tumor. Unlike benign tumors, malignant tumors can invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body.
Basal and squamous cell cancers are more common in men and in people over 50 years old. These cancers are most likely to occur in people with:
Other factors that increase your risk of skin cancer include:
Most skin cancers do not cause symptoms. The most common first symptom of skin cancer is a change in the skin.
Basal cell carcinoma may appear as a:
Squamous cell carcinoma may appear as a:
Skin cancers can occur anywhere, but are more common on places that are exposed to the sun.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
You may have a
biopsy. The sample can then be examined for cancer cells.
In cases where the growth is large, or has been present for a long time, the lymph nodes in the area will be checked. More tests may be advised to determine if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
Talk to your doctor about the best treatment for you. Treatment may include one or more of the following:
Many skin cancers can be cut from the skin quickly and easily.
In fact, the cancer is sometimes completely removed during biopsy and no further treatment is needed. Surgical techniques include:
A surgical knife is used to cut out the lesion.
This involves scooping the cancer out with a curette, an instrument with a sharp, spoon-shaped end. The area is treated with an electric current to control bleeding. This also kills any cancer cells remaining around the edge of the wound.
This technique is used for small or superficial cancers.
Mohs surgery is the removal of all of the cancerous tissue. The surgeon will try to remove as little healthy tissue as possible. This method is used to remove:
The procedure is done by specially trained dermatologic Mohs surgeons. The cancer is shaved off one thin layer at a time. Each layer is checked under a microscope for cancer cells until the entire tumor is removed.
Liquid nitrogen is used to freeze and kill the abnormal cells. After the area thaws, the dead tissue falls off. More than one freezing may be needed to remove the growth completely. This method may be used to treat precancerous skin conditions (actinic keratoses) and certain small or superficial skin cancers.
Laser therapy uses a narrow beam of light to remove or destroy cancer cells. This method is sometimes used for cancers in the outer layer of skin.
Radiation therapy uses radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors.
Topical chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. The drugs can be creams or lotions. This method is successful in treating precancerous conditions and cancers limited to the outer layer of the skin. The most common topical chemotherapy used is a form of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) .
Medications such as imiquimod increase your body's own reponse to fight the cancer cells.
To prevent skin cancer:
Take the following precautions to find skin cancer early:

BIBLE MEDITATION: "A cheerful heart is a good medicine; But a broken spirit "drieth" up the bones." Proverbs 17:22 (KJV)
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: There are often times when we find ourselves laughing aloud to keep from crying. Those are the times when everything that can possibly happen, happens- in succession! When those times come we have two choices: we can either laugh or cry. Have you had them? The radiator on your car runs hot, the fan belt breaks, a head gasket is blown and to top it off, there is a flat tire! That's a situation where you laugh to keep from crying. There was also the time when the power was shut off, the freezer defrosted, and the food was spoiled. To top it all off the hot water tank busted, your house flooded and your homeowner's insurance expired the day before. You may as well laugh! Nothing else can happen. There are some situations in which it is easier to laugh than it is to cry!
In our text today, King Solomon focuses upon the advantages of a cheerful heart on the human spirit. This proverb highlights the truth of those who possess a cheerful heart lighten the impact of their burdens, troubles, difficulties, sicknesses or other maladies. Cheerfulness is a result of being able to see the bright side and the light side of a situation. The bright side sees that there is hope. The light side sees the humor of the circumstance.
Solomon noted that the person who is unable to demonstrate a cheerful spirit is usually pessimistic, bitter, sad and defeated. Such a spirit of pessimism "drieth" up the bones. The Hebrew word "gerem" translated "bones" in this context means: "strong ..self." The person who cannot see the bright side dries up the essence of his strength and sense of self-worth. An ability to see the bright side and light side of any situation is "good medicine."
Job obviously saw the bright side of his deprived situation when, despite his condition, he said, "Yea thou he slay me, yet will I serve him." He espoused a great hope when he considered his losses and said, "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord."
Paul showed us how to look at the bright side of difficulty by saying in Romans 8:28, "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." In essence, God's going to work out difficult situations to a believer's advantage.
Jesus saw the humor of his situation often. One day he considered how he left the mansions of glory and came to earth to walk around among mankind without any resources. While he was helping many put their lives together, he had to try to scurry daily to find lodging. One day in obvious frustration, Jesus laughed at the situation and said, "Foxes have holes and birds have nests, but the Son of man hath no place to lay his head."
Solomon learned this truth early and reminded believers that a positive outlook and a sense of humor is ..."good medicine."
ACTION POINT: Deeply rooted in a believer's laughter is faith and assurance. When a believer laughs at a situation or at himself it is a sign that he or she has just remembered who they are; children of the most high God. No matter how difficult their situation gets, a believer knows that because God is still in control, one day they'll look back and get a good laugh about the thing that's worrying them so much today! Let us rejoice in the lyrics of the following song of Faith Hope:
There's a bright side somewhere, there's a bright side somewhere. Don't you rest until you find it. There's a bright side somewhere.
When your way seems dark and dreer, don't have to worry cause God is near. If in your heart there is no song, just keep the faith and keep holding on. Turn your plate down, fast and pray. Jesus will always make a way. There's a bright side somewhere.

Wedged between standing ovations from supporters fore and aft, President Obama on Friday steered the good ship reelection straight toward the rocks of Speaker John Boehner's refusal to raise income-tax rates on wealthy Americans.
"We have to combine spending cuts with revenue," Obama said from the East Room in his first formal rejoinder to Boehner's postelection openness to higher tax revenues but not higher marginal rates. "That means asking the wealthiest Americans to pay a little more in taxes."
Obama, the first Democrat in modern times to campaign and win reelection with a plan to raise income taxes, invited the bipartisan congressional leadership to the White House next Friday for the first of many meetings seeking to resolve fiscal-cliff issues. Obama said that his victory and the exit-poll data behind it prove the country is ready to raise taxes to Clinton-era levels for individuals with adjustable gross income above $200,000 and for families above $250,000.
"I refuse to accept any approach that isn't balanced," Obama said. "I'm not going to ask students and seniors and middle-class families to pay down the entire deficit while people like me making over $250,000 aren't asked to pay a dime more in taxes. I'm not going to do that."
After pausing for 13 seconds of sustained applause, Obama drove the message home.
"I just want to point out this was a central question during the election," the president said. "It was debated over and over again. On Tuesday night we found that the majority of Americans agree with my approach. Our job now is to get a majority in Congress to reflect the will of the American people. I believe we can get that majority."
While on the surface Obama's rhetoric sounded confrontational, subtle changes in language may prove telling. During the ugly days of recrimination after the pursuit of a grand budget bargain failed in August of 2011, top White House aides spoke derisively of Boehner's inability to find votes or seal a deal. The phrase "Boehner couldn't deliver a pizza" became a clichéd West Wing summation of House GOP disorder.
Obama could have said that it was up to Boehner to compromise or find the votes. Instead he said it was "our job" to find the votes in the House and that "we" can achieve a majority. That puts Obama and the persuasive powers of the presidency squarely in the legislative game. And even as he said he wouldn't approve a deal that didn't ask the wealthy to pay more in taxes, Obama didn't explicitly call for higher rates as the only means of achieving the goal of higher revenue.
That leaves both sides some room — though not a lot — to negotiate the details and semantics of higher revenue, tax reform, and deficit reduction. Obama and Boehner have now laid down their tax markers, which they contend reflect the will of the people. Each is half right. The question is can they meet half way.
On spending cuts, Obama's words carefully left wriggle room. Saying he would not ask students, seniors, and middle-income families to "pay down the entire deficit," he left room for cuts affecting all three in the context of a "broader deficit-reduction package." And because Boehner already has agreed to higher revenue along with spending cuts, shrinking government appears on something of a fast track. The remaining question is the depth and breadth of the cuts.
Boehner has now said three times that he won't support, and the House couldn't pass, higher income-tax rates on the wealthy. That's his marker. Everything else appears negotiable unless and until Obama can change votes within the House GOP conference or flexible definitions of higher tax revenue can be negotiated.
When asked at his Friday press conference about whether he could provice details of a possible deal on taxes and spending, Boehner refused, saying he didn't want to eliminate options for him or Obama. That signals seriousness and purposefulness that might reassure Wall Street and its downcast sell-off psyche in the wake of an election that reinforced the gridlocked power structure of old.
Obama also called on the House to pass a pending Senate bill extending the Bush-era tax cuts for all taxpayers below the $200,000 and $250,000 adjusted gross income level. He said that would alleviate some of the uncertainty stalking financial markets and clouding consumer confidence.
"Let's not wait," Obama said. "Let's extend the middle-class tax cuts right now. I've got the pen ready to sign the bill right away. I'm ready to do it."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid echoed the call.
But Boehner knows that the Bush tax rates are his one remaining lever. He's holding firm with a House-passed bill that extends all Bush tax cuts for one year while negotiations proceed on tax reform and a big deficit-cutting deal. He appears disinclined to hand it over before negotiations get serious.
"The increased tax rates that would be allowed under the Senate-passed bill are part of the fiscal cliff that economists are warning us to avoid. Those increased tax rates will destroy jobs in America by hurting small businesses across the country," Boehner said in a statement responding to the president.
One note on the negotiations: Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., a budget wonk who has developed deficit-cutting plans outside the so-called Gang of Eight, said on Friday that all ad hoc groups should remain on the sidelines. "Now is not the time for any of us — Republicans, Democrats, rump groups, or gangs — to be publicly promoting our own plans," Corker said in a statement that landed strategically between Boehner's press conference and Obama's remarks. "Right now the only two people who are likely to get a result by year's end are President Obama and Speaker Boehner."
Obama and Boehner said now was the time to get to work and minimize drama, conflict, and theatrics. At week's end those ethos appeared to hold, the repeated East Room standing ovations for Obama notwithstanding.
In the coming days, the most important audience reaction will be on Wall Street. Stocks gained slightly Friday morning but gave back those advances immediately after Obama spoke. The market shed 434 points the two days after Obama's reelection and the retrenchment of Democratic power in the Senate and GOP clout in the House. Investors are beating a hasty retreat out of fear Washington won't avert the fiscal cliff.
Yes, Obama and Boehner are still weighing the voters' verdict from Tuesday. But if appearances deepen initial impressions of more gridlock, the loudest and costliest verdicts may come from the stock exchanges. Real capital, not just political capital, is at stake.

Economics is a department within Birmingham Business School, which has many strong links with industry. As well as exploring theoretical aspects, you'll find that your degree has a strong practical focus, and this is reflected in the way you'll be taught. Learning from experts in their field, you will be encouraged to think for yourself and will experience a number of different learning settings, including lectures, tutorials and even the opportunity to be involved in our Economics Laboratory.
Our aim is to equip you with specific skills in economics, but also generic skills that can be applied right across the job spectrum, such as analytical and data analysis.
As a Birmingham student you are part of an academic elite and will learn from world-leading experts.
During your time at the Business School you will experience teaching through a mixture of lectures and tutorials. Small-group tutorials/personal tutorials run alongside our lectures, addressing any individual problems you may have and allowing you to consolidate lecture material, as well as test your understanding through problem-solving exercises.
Self study is an essential part of the programme and requires self motivation and enthusiasm for your subject and allows you to pursue your own lines of enquiry and become an independent thinker.
You are assessed mainly through examinations, with some assessed assignments for more practical modules. Whilst abroad you will complete an essay, which is to be examined for both language and economics content, and you will also write an extended essay in your fourth year, allowing you to consolidate the wide range of your acquired skills.
At the end of this degree, you should have a good appreciation of economics relating to financial markets and institutions; quantitative techniques for empirical analysis of economic and financial data; accounting concepts relevant to financial market analysis; the legal aspects of financial services; and the history, culture, political structure and economy of the relevant European country, allied to a high level of linguistic skill.
As well as time with your lecturers and personal tutor, academic and professional services staff (like our dedicated Careers Network team) will be available to offer individual and group support throughout your time here at Birmingham.
Your learning will take place in a range of different settings, from scheduled teaching in lectures and small group tutorials, to self-study and peer group learning (for example preparing and delivering presentations with your classmates).
Click and drag in the image above to take a virtual tour of our campus.
You'll find our Economics department staff here at Birmingham located in a building at the heart of our world famous main campus in Edgbaston, Birmingham. The main Edgbaston campus is close to the city centre but has all the amenities of a small town, as well as its own railway station.
In 2012, Birmingham Business School founded and invested in The Birmingham Experimental Economics Laboratory (BEEL) which enables economics experiments to take place on campus. The laboratory focuses on research into individual and strategic decision making and students are actively encouraged to participate in these experiments.
To begin with you may find this way of working challenging, but rest assured that we'll enable you to make this transition. You will have access to a comprehensive support system that will assist and encourage you, including personal tutors and welfare tutors who can help with both academic and welfare issues, and a formal transition review during your first year to check on your progress and offer you help for any particular areas where you need support.
Our Academic Skills Centre also offers you support with your learning. The centre is a place where you can develop your mathematical, academic writing and general academic skills. It is the centre's aim to help you to become a more effective and independent learner through the use of a range of high-quality and appropriate learning support services. These range from drop-in sessions with support with mathematics and statistics based problems provided by experienced mathematicians, to workshops on a range of topics including note talking, reading, writing and presentation skills.
Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is an excellent tool for supporting our academic courses, allowing you to share thoughts on assignments with other students via the discussion group facilities, and even submit your work electronically.
Enquiry Based Learning (EBL) is a group activity which requires you to work in a team, with a variety of assessment methods; in either a group or individually, by written reports and sometimes as a presentation. Based on techniques used in research-led organisations like the University of Birmingham, EBL gives you a research-orientated approach to a problem and helps you to gain essential skills that are highly valued by employers.
Studying at degree-level is likely to be very different from your previous experience of learning and teaching. You will be expected to think, discuss and engage critically with the subject and find things out for yourself. We will enable you to make this transition to a new style of learning, and the way that you are assessed during your studies will help you develop the essential skills you need to make a success of your time at Birmingham.
You'll be assessed in a variety of ways, and these may be different with each module that you take. You will be assessed through coursework which may take the form of essays, group and individual presentations, laboratory-based work (depending on your chosen degree) and formal exams.
Throughout the degree, you will receive timely, constructive feedback on your work to help you progress and address any areas that may require attention. This will include written feedback on your assessments, class feedback sessions and discussions with your tutor.
At the beginning of each module, you'll be given information on how and when you'll be assessed for that particular programme of study. You'll receive feedback on each assessment within four weeks, so that you can learn from and build on what you have done. You'll be given feedback on any exams that you take; if you should fail an exam we will ensure that particularly detailed feedback is made available to enable you to learn for the future.
Your work will be assessed both through your end-of-year exams and coursework, and of course in your final year you will also produce an extended essay to demonstrate your communication skills.
A degree in Economics provides the skills required for a very wide range of careers. These skills are useful in the financial sector, general commerce, public sector, journalism and education to name but a few. Many employers will value the training that an Economics degree provides. The University of Birmingham is known to produce high quality graduates, therefore students are in high demand when they have completed their study.
The University of Birmingham offered academic quality, a vibrant city life with fantastic energy and a large number of clubs and societies."

When the Joint Strike Fighter Operational Test Team begins testing the F-35 this month, maintenance personnel will be fully self-sufficient and prepared to transition to flight operations. By the time the first aircraft arrives, personnel will have successfully completed all initial training requirements and have already demonstrated the ability to perform specialized maintenance tasks on the 5th generation stealth fighter.
A delay in the aircraft's arrival provided the unique opportunity to meet initial training requirements and integrate maintainers into the team ahead of schedule – a great benefit to the operational test team.
"The training provided to operational test maintenance personnel will enable them to immediately and professionally start maintaining their aircraft upon arrival. This vital preparation reduces additional training requirements, boosts aircraft availability, and equates to a considerable amount of savings to the government," said Lt. Col. George Schwartz, 461st Flight Test Squadron commander.
For more than 18 months, developmental test personnel from the F-35 Integrated Test Force have been responsible for training operational maintainers from the 31st Test and Evaluation Squadron and Marine Tiltrotor Operational Test and Evaluation Squadron 22; the marines who will maintain the F-35B Short Takeoff Vertical Landing variant. Seventy-six personnel have successfully completed the program with 15 maintainers currently participating.
"With a new weapon system and a new acquisitions system, this is how you get people necessary hands-on experience with the aircraft before the school house is stood-up," said Mary Parker, 461st FLTS Logistics deputy. "The operational test aircraft has been delayed, so we used this opportunity to get everyone trained on the developmental test aircraft. It was an avenue to get operational maintainers trained ahead of schedule."
Training includes four weeks of intensive classroom study, and upon successful completion, the maintainers begin two weeks of gaining valuable hands-on experience before they are fully integrated into the maintenance team.
"Before participating in the hands-on training, personnel have to go through cadre training, known as 'Type 1 Training.' It is four weeks in a classroom reviewing charts and taking tests on various systems such as propulsion or avionics. Then maintainers begin their hands-on training where they learn how to marshal and service the aircraft. In total, there is about two weeks of the task certification for various functions," Parker said.
After maintainers complete the six weeks of training, their records are loaded into the Training Management System (TMS). The system is a component of the Autonomic Logistics Information System and tracks all training completed by each individual.
ALIS is a revolutionary system that electronically links together aircraft records, supply-chain management, joint technical data and the TMS. The user-friendly system is managed through a portable maintenance aid, similar to a laptop, to maximize accessibility.
With the records loaded into the system, maintenance personnel can begin working on an assigned aircraft.
"Once it shows in the system that they have been trained to complete a specific task, then we hand them over to the aircraft supervisors and they are completely integrated into the maintenance team that works on the aircraft day-in and day-out. Specialties such as Avionics, Propulsion and crew chiefs are assigned to the team, while other Air Force Specialty Codes, such as Low Observable/Structural Maintenance, Fuels and Egress only work on the aircraft when there is a task in their functional area of expertise," said Parker.
The training program's success has made significant progress towards the standup of the JSF Operational Test Team, which is co-located with the developmental test team at Edwards.
Additionally, operational and developmental test personnel have forged a strong working relationship that will continue to benefit the program in all phases of testing, previously demonstrated by the success of AIM-9X captive carry testing this past February. It was an operational test weapons team that loaded the missile onto AF-1.
"Not only will this hands-on experience accelerate operational test capabilities to perform launch, recovery, servicing and maintenance tasks on their assigned aircraft, but we have built a strong relationship with the JSF Operational Test Team here at Edwards and this relationship will continue to provide positive benefits to both the developmental and operational testing communities," said Schwartz.

Rated 4.3 out of 5�by 157 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5�by Mike45438 No arch support! I ordered these online based on the reviews by many saying that the arch support was great. In fact, I heard some people saying that there was even too much arch support. I have high arches and if I don't have any support under them, they get terribly sore. So, they arrived at my door, I opened the box, and I just thought ''You've gotta be kidding.'' There is barely any arch support to these at all. It's pathetic. I think regular cushion inserts from Wal-Mart have more arch support. At first I thought they sent the wrong product, but I returned them to my local Dick's and saw the same ones there, which also had nothing but a slight bump for your arches. I don't know how so many people can review these saying the arch support is great, because they didn't have any arch support for me at all. February 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Hiker305 Excellent and durable I've been using these products for years. I had a knee injury (both knees) at age 13, and after physical therapy my doctor recommended I try arch supports to help deal with the impact my very high arches were having on my knees. These insoles are wonderful. The arches are comfortable and the insoles have excellent padding. The insoles hold up well if you move them from shoe to shoe, and cut easily if you need to trim them to fit. I have a pair in my hiking boots, one in my regular walking shoes...The only real tip I have is to remove the basic padding that comes in tennis shoes. These insoles will fit over standard shoes insoles, but often times that makes the shoes too tight. These insoles provide more than enough cushion on their own. August 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by LD For Runners, these are a Must! As an avid runner, I need arch support. This is my second set of inserts; they really give cushion and support in my running shoes. July 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by IWC 335a Helps knee pain Using these SofSole along with my Asics Kayano to keep up my running routine (34 years of running) and the results are extremely satisfying.I do need an insert to calm knee pain that I get while resting. Had used Spenco due to a sport Dr.'s recommendation. I really do trust the quality of products at Dick's and these SofSole are very high quality - they work well enough to enhance my running - and they feel supreme.Great Product June 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Doc Sof Sole I love these Sof Sole Arch Plus Insoles. Every time I buy a new pair of shoes, I buy a pair of these, and now that I have discovered that Dick's carries them, I know I can run right over a pick up the exact ones I want. June 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by suds Well worth it Great product very comfortable. I would highly recommend for any runner. June 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by clay mama just as hood as spenco? I was looking for arch supports for my new athletic shoes and wanted ones comparable to spenco. These are less expensive and better!! Yay!! June 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jay_loza These are great! I'd been running for a year and was finally turned on to these. They make running much more comfortable. June 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Jeff in SA So far so good I have plantar fasciitis and other foot and knee issues, so I am always on the look out for arch support and insoles that will help with this and allow me to stay active. So far, the Sof Sole Arch Plus Insoles are working well with my running and walking shoes and are worth what I have paid for them. January 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Lisa Great product I didn't need new shoes just inserts! My feet never hurt now! October 29, 2013

Comments On Mar 09, 2015:If you ask people would you use a left handed rear brake lever, they usually say NO! But I wanted it to go with my new Rekluse Core 3.0 clutch. Do I use it, you bet I do, all of the time and I still have full use of my rear brake pedal. I let my friend try my bike (he also rides a wr450f) and he fell in love with the clutch and the rear brake left hand lever. Its great descending long hills, you can lock up the rear tire and maintain stability, having to stop while climbing a hill, no problem, even if you dismount, you can grab both brakes keeping your bike from sliding backward down hill. Again, would not live without it, makes riding more fun and safer. And NO, it does not get in the way and Yes, it will lock the back wheel very easily. Looks great and very well engineered. Expensive? Yes, but do like I do, buy everything motorcycle or atv related at RMATV/MC and use your points towards those items that might be too costly that you want for your bike.

Comments On Dec 31, 2014:This allows me to feather the rear break down steep hills or slide around a right hand hair pin switch back with ease. You have to bleed it right on the install but once it is set up... no problems. Must be used with a Rekluse clutch.

Comments On Dec 30, 2014:perfect compliment to my Rekluse clutch. highly recommend.

Comments On Dec 31, 2014:Could use slightly more power. Has great control on downhill sections. Using rear brake more now. My big feet use to make feel of rear pedal difficult. Must have for rekluse clutch if you bog down on hill climb

Comments On Jun 02, 2014:Excellent for Motocross. It could be very handy for trail riding, when dragging the rear brake helps to swing the rear end into tight berms. But when used with a Recluse clutch it really shines. I no longer have to dance on rear brake, shifter lever, clutch lever, footpeg, seat, etc. A typical turn is super simple. Grab both brakes, downshift whenever, both feet on frootpegs (of foot out, it does not matter), then back on the gas. I gained 3 seconds per lap on my first practice, 2 seconds on the second, and 3 more seconds on the third. All on a two minute lap MX track. Outstanding.

Comments On Mar 01, 2013:pretty cool good for down hill and right turns
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jan 07, 2013:I finally decided to try one of these out, and they do work well in the right conditions. It's best suited for tight single track, and steep downhill sections. When I try to use it on faster open terrain it justs slows me down having to think about it. I use it in conjunction with a rekluse EXP clutch kit.

Comments On Oct 07, 2012:If I could of give it six stars I would. It's great with Rekluse Clutch and a Scotts Stabilzer. Well worth the price.
Additional Comments On Oct 07, 2012:Works great with Rekluse Clutch.

Traditionally, American Jews have been broadly liberal in their political outlook; indeed African-Americans are the only ethnic group more likely to vote Democratic in US elections. Over the past half century, however, attitudes on one topic have stood in sharp contrast to this group's generally progressive stance: support for Israel.
Despite Israel's record of militarism, illegal settlements, and human rights violations, American Jews have, stretching back to the 1960s, remained largely steadfast supporters of the Jewish 'homeland'. But, as Norman Finkelstein explains in an elegantly-argued and richly-textured new book, this is now beginning to change.
Reports by Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and the United Nations, and books by commentators as prominent as President Jimmy Carter and as well-respected in the scholarly community as Stephen Walt, John Mearsheimer, and Peter Beinart, have increasingly pinpointed the fundamental illiberalism of the Israeli state. In the light of these exposes, the support of America Jews for Israel has begun to fray. This erosion has been particularly marked among younger members of the community. A 2010 Brandeis University poll found that only about one quarter of Jews aged under 40 today feel "very much" connected to Israel.
In successive chapters that combine Finkelstein's customary meticulous research with polemical brio, Knowing Too Much sets the work of defenders of Israel such as Jeffrey Goldberg, Michael Oren, Dennis Ross, and Benny Morris against the historical record, showing their claims to be increasingly tendentious. As growing numbers of American Jews come to see the speciousness of the arguments behind such apologias and recognize Israel's record as simply indefensible, Finkelstein points to the opening of new possibilities for political advancement in a region that for decades has been stuck fast in a gridlock of injustice and suffering.

"Important subject, but poor reader"
The subject of the book is both important and interesting, the book itself well written. Unfortunately, this is marred by a reader who makes repetitive pronunciation errors which are quite inexcusable. It's too bad that this has happened.
You need a reader who can read properly!
"Mispronounced words makes listening impossible"
The reader mispronounced all of the big words. It wasn't an issue of an accent, because he pronounced easy words correctly. Someone needed to go through and pronounce words for him before he recorded this. And he butchered important names. The author must not have any control over the finished product, because if he did, he would surely insist on a new recording.
Absolutely nothing. Not only did he mispronounce words, it was obvious in some areas, based on his inflection, that he didn't understand what he was reading. I had to stop listening. It was just too frustrating.
If I could get my money back for this audio book, I would.
"Terrible reader. Great book."
Finkelstein: Crucial, important and revealing book.
Crandall: Countless hair-raising, knuckle-whitening, palm-to-forehead mispronunciations.
"Brilliant Book Disgraced by an Awful Reader"
Read this book; don't listen to it. I only kept listening because the content was fascinating and I couldn't stop laughing when the reader pronounced Edward Said "Edward Sed" and Menachem Begin with a "Begin" as in "beginning."
"Awful narration "Nuke-ular" and "Raison de entree""
I'm 2 hours into this audio book right now. The content is interesting. However the narration is comically bad.
There have been so many mispronunciations of words that I've laughed and cried in equal measure.
This is a heavy subject with a huge amount of context, so having the narrator talk about "Eye-rinnians" (Iranians), "nuke-ular weapons" (I remember how the slow children at school were laughed at for saying nukeular) and "the lobby's raison de entree" (presumably raison d'etre), to give 3 quick examples, really does the book a disservice.
The only positive note about the narration is that he's not tried to get all emotive. But basically, the narrator isn't, in my opinion, up to the task of narrating this book if he consistently makes such glaring mistakes. Also, I don't know who quality checks audio books before releasing them, but surely they would have spotted all the cock-ups.
My advice to whichever company published this audio book would be to get a decent narrator and start again.
I'll carry on with the book and will put an accurate score for the content, but get the feeling that some of it is going to get through grated teeth because of the shoddy narration.
"The Finkster"
No. I found it very hard to listen to this without Normans voice behind it, in fact I scrapped the audio and read the book instead. I am a huge fan of Finkelstein and believe me, if you love his work you would know that it is nothing without his New York/ Yiddishy almost monosyllabic voice and tone .
The Narrators voice, it was awful .

Christopher Newport University Race
By Doug Zangre '13, Sailing Team Captain
This past weekend the Sailing Team sent James Codega, Samantha Griswold, Mike LaRose, Marc Smith and Doug Zangre to Newport News, VA to race the Christopher Newport University 2-on-2 team race. Warm weather and favorable winds greeted the team, which sailed very competitively against strong opposition both days. Webb finished with a final record of 10 wins to 5 losses, putting us in a very respectable 3rd place (after a tie-breaker). Full results and a write-up will be available on the website soon. Congrats to the team and keep up the good work!
