All this math.. I wasnt very good at it. The only math I can come up with is... BUY A CHERRY PICKER.
Thanks for all your help. All in all... You guys prevented me from making a big mistake.. I have a beam all lined up and it probably wasnt going to work.. Plus I have to get the trolley and hoist yet too.. Adding it all up...
A cherry picker would suit me better.
More projects to come... thanks for your help..

I agree, if I could get by with a cherry picker I would, so much cheaper and so portable. There was one in a thread from Northern, real good. I have built several for garages, this one for my Bud. The wall stabilizes, load on the post and the other post has wheels in an arc.

how long is it?
what kind of wood?
what is it supported by?
any joints in the wood?
how are you joining the steel to the wood?
where in the wood beam's span does the steel beam join?
you have a more complex design than your first post implied.
the load on the steel beam is being supported by the cinder block
wall and the wood beam. worst case, all of the load is at one end
or the other, which means that either the wood beam or the cinder
block wall has to support the full load. plus, of course, half the weight
of the steel beam, plus the full weight of the lifting gear.
so now you have to also model the wood beam in the same manner
as you have to model the steel beam
plus the load is dynamic (lifting up/down, traveling side to side,
and swaying), that adds a complication to the work.
plus there is going to be a thrust (sideways force) on the wood
beam -- imagine lifting an x00 pound engine and then sliding
the trolley all they way in the direction of the wood beam
and letting it crash into the wood beam (or the stops on the steel
beam -- which will still transfer the force to the wood beam).
that's a side-force on the wood beam, which probably can't handle
Excerpt from ASCE7, Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures
The crane live load shall be the rated capacity of the crane. Design loads for the runway beams, including connections and support brackets, of moving bridge cranes and monorail cranes shall include the maximum wheel loads of the crane and the vertical impact, lateral, and longitudinal forces induced by the moving crane.
4.10.1 Maximum Wheel Load.
The maximum wheel loads shall be the wheel loads produced by the weight of the bridge, as applicable, plus the sum of the rated capacity and the weight of the trolley with the trolley positioned on its runway at the location where the resulting load effect is maximum.
4.10.2 Vertical Impact Force.
The maximum wheel loads of the crane shall be increased by the percentages shown in the following text to determine the induced vertical impact or vibration force:
Monorail cranes (powered) - 25
Cab-operated or remotely operated bridge cranes (powered) - 25
Pendant-operated bridge cranes (powered) - 10
Bridge cranes or monorail cranes with hand-geared bridge, trolley, and hoist - 0
4.10.3 Lateral Force.
The lateral force on crane runway beams with electrically powered trolleys shall be calculated as 20 percent of the sum of the rated capacity of the crane and the weight of the hoist and trolley. The lateral force shall be assumed to act horizontally at the traction surface of a runway beam, in either direction perpendicular to the beam, and shall be distributed with due regard to the lateral stiffness of the runway beam and supporting structure.
4.10.4 Longitudinal Force.
The longitudinal force on crane runway beams, except for bridge cranes with hand-geared bridges, shall be calculated as 10 percent of the maximum wheel loads of the crane. The longitudinal force shall be assumed to act horizontally at the traction surface of a runway beam in either direction
parallel to the beam.
As previously stated, there are a few "cases" you are interested in.
Worst case for block wall: when the trolley is closest to the block wall, essentially all the load is carried as shear on that end of the rail beam, and as a concentrated point load on the block wall.
Worst case for the wood beam: when the trolley is closest to the wood beam, essentially all the load is carried as shear on that end of the rail beam and imparts a concentrated point load on the wood beam (and I would put money on the fact that it is undersized).
Worst case for the beam: when the trolley is at the center of the rail beam, the maximum bending moment is developed in the rail beam, and one half of the total load is carried by each end of the beam.
Using LRFD, assume 200 lb of gear in the trolley and hoist. 1.2 dead load + 1.6 live load = 240+3200=3440 lb design load.
So think about a beam to wall connection designed to take this load, plus 1.2 times half the beam's dead weight (maybe 100 lb). Think of the same load and connection at the wood beam, which would likely need a column under it unless it is a very large timber.
As for the beam, 3440 lb point load at the middle produces PL/4 ft lb of bending moment, and with 12' clear span, this is 10,320 ft lb.
But when selecting a beam, you must realize that clear spans have reduced capacity due to lateral torsional buckling. So one must consult Table 3-10 of the AISC steel manual.
To calculate deflection, you use the actual service live load, which would be 2000 lb, and use the formula PL^3/(48 EI) where E is the modulus of elasticity of steel (29,000,000 psi) and I is anything larger that the value that produces a deflection of L/360 (0.4 inches).
Solving for I when delta = .4" is I=(2000*144^3)/(48*29,000,000*.4)=10.72 in^4
Thus, you need a beam with a section moment of inertia greater than 10.72.
W8x13 would be an excellent choice with phiMn@12' span =18,000 ftlb and I=39.6 in^4. Smaller sections might work, but that's the smallest section graphed on Table 3-10 and calculating phiMn@12' span for smaller beams would take a minute.
That's the easy part. Now it you want to see something complicated, try detailing the connections. And then you'd have to go through the same procedure to see how overloaded that wood beam would be.
80% of failures are from 20% of causes

The thing is the LSS will tell you what the beam will carrie but they will not tell you what the supporting structure can hold. And that is the key.
A cherry picker is cheap and easy. Yes they are slow but how often due you really plan on puling and engine?
Boddy bagger gave all the proper calcs but to be safe you need to go 5 times the rated live load to meet code. I know your system is at home in a garage but still it should meet code just to keep yourself aliveMiller Syncrowave 200 W/Radiator 1A & water cooled torch

And you never gave us a weight you intend to lift although you did give us a description of what you intend to do.
So for a 1 ton 12' long mono rail supported at the ends
A W14X43 would work and give you enough extra to be safe.

Well... You guys point out some things I am not even thinking about. I ultimately wanted this beam in for pulling an engine on a Jeep. But instead of having the cherry picker tieing up a corner of my garage.. The trolley was going to be used so that I can just slide the chain hoist out of the way.
I was going to place the beam in the center of my garage bay so that when I have a heavier item (200-300 lb) I could raise it off the floor and roll my 1000# rated welding table under it.
I guess all in all the heaviest item would be that Jeep I-6 cylinder. I was also thinking of using it to maybe support the Jeep tub while I roll the frame out from under it.
I like the gantry crane idea as well as the cherry picker.. I guess I will have to weigh out the price/space available/ease of use.
Should I go with the gantry crane, I will build legs to support it and forego the use of the block wall.

Pipe is cheaper than square tube, for your loads you can get away with 4 inch schedule 80 pipe for the legs. With 3/4 x 12 x 12 PL for the bearing plates, (w/ 3 1/2 thick slab).
I would look at tying / securing your monarail / S-shape / wide flange beam into the block wall and the wooden beam.
Two objectives when building shop cranes: 1, build a box if you can. 2, support the crane wherever you can so it cannot move.Caution!

There is perhaps no place better known for adventure travel than this corner of the Himalaya. From the northern border, defined by the tallest mountains on earth, to the southern border, shrouded in fertile lush green land, this nation is diverse and beautiful every inch along the way.
While it certainly true that most travelers to Nepal come to visit and explore the unparalleled peaks, more often than not, those same travelers leave after falling in love with the people and the culture. It is this combination of mountains and people that have long made Nepal one of the most treasured adventure travel destinations on the planet. Just as the Nepalis have influenced these mountains, cutting terraced fields along their flanks and cutting trails and roads through them, so too have these mountains carved the soul and character of these hardy, warm-hearted people.
While for years now Nepal has drawn the most adventurous spirits on the planet to explore the mountains, rivers, hills and villages of this small nation, many of the best kept off the beaten path secrets have yet to become widely known. We are insiders in Nepal, and we'd love to share some of these secrets with you.
Our Nepal Sample Itineraries
Nepal is incredibly diverse, and so are the ways to explore it! Here you're find some of our sample itineraries, meant to provide a basis for what is possible here. You can trek for weeks in remote corners of the Himalaya or heli-trek the biggest mountains on earth in 12 days. You can explore the once Forbidden Kingdom of Mustang by horse or spend time exploring the medieval cities of Kathmandu. The choice is yours and our samples are here to give you an idea of what we can create to fit your dreams.
Check Out a Custom Nepal Itinerary & the Clients that Loved it!
Jane and Elizabeth are ATC alums that have been a joy to work with. They reached out to us in search of another trek in Nepal and were looking for access to Buddhist culture, village life, great trekking and strong views - they knew Tsum was right for them! Prepped, ready to go and excited, they were off on their adventure, but when a small incident left one of them with discomfort walking - the entire itinerary was up in the air. Thankfully, our staff was able to not only accommodate their new limitations but help them to still have a wonderful trek through this remote valley. Check out their itinerary, see some of their picture and hear what they had to say about their once in a lifetime journey!

Hey guys
Iam working on software for jewelery store for their book keeping purpose.
The owner sells
Sets,half sets locket set,Rings,24kt bars and so on.
Each of the above categories have Several sub categories or rows.
Like Date ID maker Type Amount adn so on.
So he wants all these with also their SALE and PURCHASE category.
Iam confused to how structure the database Should i create several databases for each Sets,Half sets and under each of them two tables of SALE and PURCHASE and those tables will have rows like ID,Type etc?
Users who have thanked haseeb for this post:
sanjida (09-26-2013)
Short answer: NO.
And if you are really and truly working for a jewelry store than you need to tell them *NOW* that you do not understand databases and that you are *NOT* the person for the job. Tell them you will help them find somebody who can do the work, because you can't.
On the assumption that your tale about working for a jewelry store is just a cover for the fact that this is homework for some class: I think you need to go study your database design book(s) a lot more. First of all, there is no possible reason to have more than one DATABASE. Period. More than one table? Yes. But even then not the tables you are proposing.
You need to go look in your books for the proper setup of a classic inventory/customers/order/orderitems/vendors/purchases/purchaseitems system. That's 7 tables, if you are counting. Possibly some more, depending on what else your homework assignment is asking for, but clearly starting with 7.
Be yourself. No one else is as qualified.

Thanks for the reply it is actually an assignment.
I will tell you what are the Requirements.
The store uses a manual accounting with books.They have one Stock or Inventory account and the other is sale account.
They sell
3.Half sets and so on like 30 more jewellery items.
If they want to record sale or purchase of an item like Sets it has the following titles.
1. Date
3. Amount and so on.
What im confused is with wether i can do all that one database?
I have figured out another way. Is it fine?
Nope, not even close.
I *tolld* you what tables you need:
*ONE* table for *ALL* inventory items (what you called Stock items). One.
Then when you sell items from inventory, you need a customer record (which might be a new customer or an existing one), an order record, and one orderitems record per inventory item (product id) type sold.
And similarly for when you purchase items: You need a vendor records, a purchase (or purchase order) record, and one purchaseitems record per inventory item type purchased.
Be yourself. No one else is as qualified.

The 11,000-seat Mid-South Coliseum has been closed for six years, hampered both by the noncompete clause enjoyed by FedExForum and code issues, including lack of handicap accessibility. On January 13, 2001 the coliseum was transformed into a giant television production studio for the upcoming videotaping of a David Copperfield television special which later aired on CBS. Copperfield, the world's most renowned illusionist was rehearsing for the TV special with a limited audience. Videotaping of the actual show took place later with a full house in attendance. (Mike Maple/The Commercial Appeal)
May 26, 1964 - The Mid-South Coliseum and Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium (originally Memphis Memorial Stadium) rise out of the ground at the Mid-South Fairgrounds in this aerial photograph. The Coliseum was built for the city and county for $4.7 million to house a wide variety of events, including basketball games, conventions, concerts and more. (Tom Barber/The Commercial Appeal files)
November 17, 1965 - Bill Wyman, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Brian Jones ( who died in 1969 ) at the Mid-South Coliseum. "The biggest applause of the night came when the warmup group, The Ramrods from Boston, opened up with 'Dixie,'" reporter James Kingsley wrote. Nevertheless, "Not since Herman and The Hermits, another English group, appeared in the Coliseum earlier this year has a rock and roll show drawn such a responsive audience." Attendance: About 6,000, compared with "fewer than 2,000" in Nashville. (Fred Griffith / The Commercial Appeal)
August 19, 1966 - The Beatles performed at 4 and 8:30 p.m. at the Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis. The Commercial Appeal reported that 20,128 people "heard the Liverpudlians bow to Dixie." A chain link fence surrounded the stage. Across town, a crowd of more than 8,000 filled the Auditorium North Hall and part of the South Hall for the Memphis Christian Youth Rally. This was provoked by Lennon's statement that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus Christ. ( By Robert Williams / The Commercial Appeal)
August 19, 1966 - The Beatles performed at 4 and 8:30 p.m. at the Mid-South Coliseum. The Commercial Appeal reported that 20,128 people "heard the Liverpudlians bow to Dixie." A total of 7,589 attended the afternoon show and 12,539 showed up at the evening concert. The Cyrkle, Bobby Hebb, The Ronettes and The Remains also were on the bill. Tickets cost $5.50. According to The Commercial Appeal, the Beatles - John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr - wore "modish-dull gray suits" for the afternoon show and "dark green creations with chartreuse shirts" for the evening concert. ( By Fred Griffith / The Commercial Appeal)
August 19, 1966 - The Beatles - Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr and John Lennon - in Memphis in 1966. The late Fred Griffith, former staff photographer for The Commercial Appeal, shot photos of the Beatles for the newspaper. In 1991, he said he and other members of the accredited press were allowed to take photos during the group's press conference at the Coliseum. Griffith, now recalled seeing the Beatles in the rear of the Coliseum before the press conference. "They were in the bus and leaning out the windows and yelling and hollering, and the girls were screaming." (By Fred Griffith / The Commercial Appeal)
August 24, 1968 - James Brown performs before an audience of 11,733 at the Mid-South Coliseum. The Augusta, GA singer has sung his way to the top of the musical heap as Soul Brother No. 1. (The Commercial Appeal files)
November 2, 1968 - Headliner Conway Twitty, Little Jimmy Dickens and Sammi Smith, vocalist with Waylon Jennings' band have a little fun backstage at the Mid-Coliseum before their performances. Other acts performing for some 4,500 country-western fans included Memphians Bud and Joyce Murry, Dusty Rhodes and Jeannie Seely. (Fred Griffith/The Commercial Appeal)

The woolly bear caterpillar—with its 13 distinct segments of black and reddish-brown—has the reputation of being able to forecast the coming winter weather.
Here are the history, facts, and lore about this legendary caterpillar.
How the Woolly Bear Became "Famous"
- In the fall of 1948, Dr. C. H. Curran, curator of insects at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, took his wife 40 miles north of the city to Bear Mountain State Park to look at woolly bear caterpillars.
- Dr. Curran collected as many caterpillars as he could in a day, determined the average number of reddish-brown segments, and forecast the coming winter weather through a reporter friend at The New York Herald Tribune.
- Dr. Curran's experiment, which he continued over the next eight years, attempted to prove scientifically a weather rule of thumb that was as old as the hills around Bear Mountain. The resulting publicity made the woolly bear the most recognizable caterpillar in North America.
What is the Woolly Bear?
The caterpillar Curran studied, the true woolly bear, is the larval form of Pyrrharctia isabella, the Isabella tiger moth. See and share this picture of a woolly bear!
Here is more background:
- This medium-size moth, with yellowish-orange and cream-colored wings spotted with black, is common from northern Mexico throughout the United States and across the southern third of Canada.
- As moths go, the Isabella isn't much to look at compared with other species, but its immature larva, called the black-ended bear or the woolly bear (and, throughout the South, woolly worm) is one of the few caterpillars most people can identify.
- Woolly bears do not actually feel much like wool—they are covered with short, stiff bristles of hair.
- In field guides, they're found among the "bristled" species, which include the all-yellow salt marsh caterpillar and several species in the tiger moth family. Not all are 'woolly bears!'
- Woolly bears, like other caterpillars, hatch during warm weather from eggs laid by a female moth.
- Mature woolly bears search for overwintering sites under bark or inside cavities of rocks or logs. (That's why you see so many of them crossing roads and sidewalks in the fall.)
- When spring arrives, woolly bears spin fuzzy cocoons and transform inside them into full-grown moths.
- Typically, the bands at the ends of the caterpillar are black, and the one in the middle is brown or orange, giving the woolly bear its distinctive striped appearance.
Do Woolly Bear Caterpillars Forecast Winter Weather?
According to legend, the wider that middle brown section is (i.e., the more brown segments there are), the milder the coming winter will be. Conversely, a narrow brown band is said to predict a harsh winter. But is it true?
- Between 1948 and 1956, Dr. Curran's average brown-segment counts ranged from 5.3 to 5.6 out of the 13-segment total, meaning that the brown band took up more than a third of the woolly bear's body. As those relatively high numbers suggested, the corresponding winters were milder than average.
- But Curran was under no scientific illusion: He knew that his data samples were small. Although the experiments popularized and, to some people, legitimized folklore, they were simply an excuse for having fun. Curran, his wife, and their group of friends escaped the city to see the foliage each fall, calling themselves The Original Society of the Friends of the Woolly Bear.
- Thirty years after the last meeting of Curran's society, the woolly bear brown-segment counts and winter forecasts were resurrected by the nature museum at Bear Mountain State Park. The annual counts have continued, more or less tongue in cheek, since then.
- For the past 10 years, Banner Elk, North Carolina, has held an annual "Woolly Worm Festival" each October, highlighted by a caterpillar race. Retired mayor Charles Von Canon inspects the champion woolly bear and announces his winter forecast.
Most scientists discount the folklore of woolly bear predictions as just that, folklore. Says Ferguson from his office in Washington, "I've never taken the notion very seriously. You'd have to look at an awful lot of caterpillars in one place over a great many years in order to say there's something to it."
Mike Peters, an entomologist at the University of Massachusetts, doesn't disagree, but he says there could, in fact, be a link between winter severity and the brown band of a woolly bear caterpillar. "There's evidence," he says, "that the number of brown hairs has to do with the age of the caterpillar—in other words, how late it got going in the spring. The [band] does say something about a heavy winter or an early spring. The only thing is . . . it's telling you about the previous year."
What do you think? Do woolly bears predict winter weather? What other signs of the seasons tell us about coming weather?

Vancouver, Wa. -- Letters are on their way to patients outside of Portland after a fired hospital worker may have exposed those patients to Hepatitis-C.
Peace-Health Southwest Medical Center in Vancouver says as many as 936 patients may be at risk.
An investigation by the hospital and the health department found the employee may have infected the patients while stealing drugs for personal use. For example, by injecting a drug and then using the same syringe to give whatever was left of the dose, to another patient. But the director of Clark County Public Health says the risks are low.
So far, there's no concrete evidence that anyone has been exposed.

A year and half after the District of Columbia was granted home rule (the ability for the city to govern its own affairs, apart from Congress), it made a bold move. The city outlawed handguns.
It was 1976, and while the legislation would prove to do little to curb gun violence in the city, it was a bold test of the reach of the Second Amendment, which was not as thoroughly adjudicated as it is now. The Supreme Court had only taken up one case relating to it previously, in 1939, in which it allowed a measure of gun control.
But in 2008, a 5-4 decision in the Supreme Court case District of Columbia v. Heller overturned the ban. In the majority opinion, the court determined that the ban violated the Second Amendment's right to bear arms, regardless of whether such firearms were intended to be used in conjunction with "a militia." A follow-up case in 2010 extended this ruling to all 50 states. However, the Court ruled, states do have a right to pass gun-control measures such as requiring permits for concealed weapons. States just can't deny firearms outright.
"The Court only held that the Second Amendment protects the right of law-abiding responsible individuals to possess a handgun in the home for self defense," Juliet A. Leftwich, the legal director of the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, says. "The Supreme Court made clear there was still a lot that state and local governments could do to prevent gun deaths and injuries that would be consistent with the Second Amendment."
So what emerges is an overlapping patchwork of federal and state laws. The right to bear arms exists everywhere, but how arms are controlled and disseminated varies. Which makes for a confusing answer to the question: What is the current state of gun control in the United States?
Let's break it down.
What the Federal Government Says:
According to the federal government and the the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1994, it's illegal to receive, possess, or transport guns or ammo if you
- Have been convicted or are under indictment for a felony that would result in more than one year in prison.
- Have been convicted of a misdemeanor that would result in more than two years in prison.
- Are a fugitive.
- Are a drug user.
- Are mentally disabled or have been committed to a mental institution.
- Are an illegal immigrant.
- Were dishonorably discharged from armed service.
- Have renounced your U.S. citizenship.
- Are under a particular type of restraining order.
- Have been convicted of domestic violence.
It is illegal for a gun retailer to sell a firearm to anyone listed above. These dealers need a federal license, and must run background checks to see if the buyer meets any of the criteria above. However, as the Center for Public Integrity reports, national databases used for the background checks may be out of date or missing information.
There's also a major loophole here: Federal law does not mandate private individuals to conduct background checks before they transfer their gun to another owner, if that person lives in the same state. This is what allows for the "gun-show loophole," where people in certain states can buy guns at large expos without a background check. The Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence states that 40 percent of all gun purchases take place among private parties.
Where States Come In
"Federal laws are the floor and not the ceiling, meaning that states are free to adopt stronger laws," Leftwich says.
Short of declaring an all-out ban on guns, these are some of the options currently available to states looking to curb gun violence (some of these limitations are being litigated in the courts in the wake of the Heller decision):
- Require state permits or licenses.
- Require firearm registration.
- Ban or restrict assault weapons.
- Require the reporting of stolen guns.
- Limit the amount of guns that can be purchased by one person in a given amount of time.
- Ban large-capacity magazines.
- Require long waiting periods to purchase guns.
- Issue concealed-weapons permits.
- Allow or deny unconcealed weapons.
The NRA's Compendium of State Firearms Laws (updated in 2010) is a good resource to compare restrictions across states. Another good resource (from the other side of the ideological spectrum) is the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence state-by-state report card for gun laws.
What you learn in looking through this data is that the ease of gun ownership varies widely across the country. For instance, according to the Brady report card, in Georgia you can buy guns at gun shows without a background check and you do not need a permit or license to own a gun. Connecticut, on the other hand, requires safety training of gun owners and has closed gun-show loopholes. As has been observed, Connecticut has some of the toughest gun laws in the country. So stopping mass shootings isn't always in the hands of local powers, although there is evidence that suggests gun violence is more prevalent in areas with looser gun restrictions.
Guns can also be regulated on a municipal level, however only a few states allow for it. Those states include California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York. For example, Leftwich explains, local governments can limit where firearms dealers can operate or require safe storage of firearms in the home.
But all of this is for naught if the gun has been stolen from a person who purchased the firearm through lawful means, as was apparently the case in the shooting at the Sandy Hook elementary school.

Rainbows are usually grown to a size of about a pound or two in earthen ponds or concrete raceways. It takes about 10 to 12 months to grow a rainbow to a harvestable size. In the wild, rainbow trout can grow quite large, reaching 50 pounds in size. While there's some confusion between rainbow trout and steelhead, they're essentially the same fish. The difference is their size: farmed and wild steelhead are the same size as salmon, while farmed rainbows rarely exceed 2 pounds.
TUNA-YELLOWFIN, or AHI
Whether it's caught off Ecuador, Hawaii or Bali, almost all of the true "sashimi-grade" fresh yellowfin and bigeye tuna is sold to Japanese buyers who pay a premium price for 200,000 tons a year, compared to 55,000 tons consumed in the U.S. Yellowfin and bigeye are graded both by fat content and color, which can be an objective exercise, as standards can vary from supplier to supplier, depending both upon the experience of the grader and the condition of the market. Fish with the highest fat content and the brightest red bring a premium price. The amount of myoglobin in a tuna's muscle determines its color: the more myoglobin, the redder the flesh. The amount of myoglobin is a function of a tuna's age, physical activity and species. After the flesh of a tuna is exposed to air, an iron ion in the myoglobin molecule will start to oxidize, which turns the meat brown. For that reason, it is important to keep tuna loins and steaks wrapped in plastic.

I didn't know education sucked in South Florida. I can tell this to my wife whenever she says "When are we moving to Miami?" everytime the show Burn Notice is on. (I love that show).
There are all kinds of reasons why education sucks in South Florida .... Stephen Ross and any potential deal has absolutely nothing to do with it. MONEY has nothing to do with it.
Education in this country basically sucks almost everywhere. Throwing more money at the education system hasn't worked for decades why would throwing more money at it start to work now?
The education does suck in South Florida. I witnessed it firsthand. The schools are falling apart.
All I'm saying is, it's strange to me that the county has repeatedly cut education funds, yet somehow it's ok to fund stadium deals.
If your kid's school had their funding cut...but the principal suddenly bought a more expensive vehicle and was seen smiling all over town, how would you view that situation?
There is a Mike Dee rebuttal on there also. Good stuff from Dee.

Lyrics: Traditional arr. Grateful Dead
Music: Traditional arr. Grateful Dead
A previously unknown song on "Birth Of The Dead" on the Rhino box set, from a 1966 concert recording. The notes say it is a traditional song arranged by the Grateful Dead. I wonder about this - it sounds to me very much more like the songs the Dead were writing at that time rather than a cover.
The title looks to be picked out from the Pigpen rap at the end.
[Garcia et al sing main verse, Pigpen response in italics]
Oh my darling tell me where I'm bound
(Yesterday was your day of rest)
Now I see too much racing around
(Yesterday you had to beat up your [miss])
I've been here too many times before
(I don't know, I would resist)
I've got to see the other side of your door
(I don't know, no, I've got a call for you)
Whoa-oh, can't you see I got a lot to learn
(I've got to know, no, no, now what's going on)
Oh I don't even have a torch to burn
(I've got to go, have I done you wrong)
Now I can't be found by the wailing wall
(You better stop girl, and take a look around)
Sometimes, you have got to be ten feet tall
(You better stop girl, and see what's going down)
[all together]
{Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday ...
{Summer, winter, spring and fall
{Tick, tick, tick, tick ...
Well I been in your neighbourhood for a long long time
(You say to me, now, that you know it all)
You breed confusion in that [you forge] my life
(You say to me that [you've done it all])
Years go by while I'm standing in the cold
(Well you tell me girl, everything's all right)
Well it's all I get to sing, [and all men's soul]
(I find out now, well, late at night)
Well old man on the bus wants to [play ???]
(Yesterday was your day of rest)
As he takes my dime and tells me how to die
(Yesterday now, now, now)
Here's my life, my love, set it up to [???]
(I don't know if you what you say is true)
[???] to say we're gonna really move
(I don't know, I got to, got to talk to you)
[all together]
{Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday ...
{Summer, winter, spring and fall
{Tick, tick, tick, tick ...
[Pigpen rap]
Time goes by, just a little bit, now
You gotta wait, you gotta wait until the time goes by, now
It doesn't matter what you do now
It's gonna keep on going on by
Going by
Going by now

Well you better
You may find you gotta wait awhile
But you can't wait because the time is right now
If you going to lose it now, you're gonna lose it forever
'Cause time keeps on by

Now, now, now, now
Keep on going now
Keep on going by
Well you may want to stop it babe
And you can't turn it around
Well you may want to turn it up babe
But you sure can't turn it down
You gotta slow down a little bit girl
Keep on rolling by
Keep on rolling by
Keep on rolling by
Time keep on going by
Ain't a thing you can do now
Just keep on going with it
And just stay on top of it for a little while
For a little while
Just for a little while
Just for a little while

Here in New England many towns do not have public sewer systems, so homeowners have either a septic system or a cesspool. What is the difference between the two?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Home Improvement Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for contractors and serious DIYers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Septic systems leach out into the surrounding area (called a "leach field"). This helps reduce the number of times the system needs pumped out. Liquid (and some solid) waste is broken down and leaches out into the field. Some municipalities don't like this because it has the potential to contaminate local water sheds (most notably if you're near a river).
A cesspool is a sealed tank for holding waste. Since it's sealed it doesn't leak but frequently needs drained. More expensive than a septic system but more environmentally friendly.
Most places in the US that don't have city sewer services have a septic tank as far as I'm aware. I haven't heard of many cesspools.

NEW YORK — A southwestern Indiana woman who claims to have engaged in online sex chats with New York mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner has confirmed her identity.
Twenty-three-year-old Sydney Leathers of Princeton told "Inside Edition" Thursday that Weiner disgusted her and that "he's not who I thought he was."
Leathers says Weiner started corresponding with her last July, more than a year after he stepped down from Congress and within weeks of a glowing People magazine cover story about his repaired marriage to Hillary Rodham Clinton aide Huma Abedin.
Leathers says Weiner told her that he loved her and she reciprocated. But now she says she would tell the embattled mayoral candidate to "stop lying, stop embarrassing his wife and get help."

Every firm has specialty! Ours is social media marketing (SMM). In fact, our CEO wrote the best-selling book on social media marketing, and our staff is made up of experienced experts with real-world experience in helping clients achieve their marketing communications goals.
The Marketing Zen Group is a full-service agency – whatever our clients need online, we can provide. But our focus isn't on selling services to clients – it's on partnering with our clients to help them achieve their goals. We offer turn-key social media marketing services to our clients including strategy, implementation, and training. We train our clients in using social media, help them to define their strategy and select tactics, and how to measure their SROI (social return on investment). There are a lot of agencies out there who will offer to help you design and implement a full-fledged SMM campaign – but we're proud of being recognized as one of the few that actually becomes a strategic partner with our clients.
What is Social Media Marketing?
We'd define social media marketing this way: To increase sales by promoting a product or service via social media platforms like Facebook, Google+, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Instagram and others, using a range of marketing communications tools and techniques.
Let's take a quick look at traditional marketing vs. social media marketing.
Traditional Marketing
Social Media Marketing
|Dominate the Market!
|Create a Social Media Community within the Market
|Shout Out Loud
|Listen, and then Whisper
|Me, Me, Me
|Us, Us, Us
|PUSH the Product or Service
|PULL in People with your Message/Story
|Word of Mouth Social Marketing
|Nurture "Leads"
|Nurture Relationships
Many of the tools used in traditional marketing – advertising, public relations, content marketing, contests and promotions – are also used in social media marketing. The difference is that social media marketing requires a change in focus and attitude that has proven very difficult for some agencies to learn. It's why hiring an agency built from the ground up to maximize your social media results makes sense: we can guide you through the rapidly changing landscape, and help you avoid costly mistakes while you get the results you want.
Why Bother with Social Media Marketing?
Social media gives business owners powerful tools for reaching thousands of prospects and clients at the click of a mouse. However, you need a strong business strategy and knowledge of online marketing before these tools will deliver measurable return on investment.
We build the metrics and measurement analytics in to our SMM campaigns from the beginning – so you'll know how to measure the results you get before you spend a dollar on social media marketing. Collecting the right data, and analyzing it with a view towards long-term success, is just part of the strong business mind-set we bring to every client project.
To that end, we'll help you figure out:
- What exactly am I trying to accomplish with social media and why?
- What are the most pressing challenges that prospective and current customers face, and how can I help them overcome these?
- What are the most effective delivery tools for my messages?
- How can I build enduring relationships and turn strangers into lifetime customers?
It all comes down to your overall plan. An effective social media strategy is all about the big picture. What needs to be accomplished, and why. Once the strategy is in place, we'll help you move on to the tactics – the where, when, and how – that will implement your strategy.
Your website is the most critical part of your social media strategy. If it isn't ready to convert browsers into customers, with well-written, easy-to-navigate, attractive pages that are optimized so the search engines can help potential customers find you, then that should be addressed before you invest heavily in a social media campaign. (Got questions about what makes a website "social media ready"? Talk to one of our web experts today.)
Selecting Your Social Media Targets
Whether you're active in social media or not, you already have a presence there. Customers, employees, suppliers, vendors, and even competitors are already talking about you on social media sites like Facebook, Yelp, Twitter, LinkedIn, Foursquare, Pinterest, YouTube, and Google+.
Does your business need to be on all of these social media platforms? Maybe – maybe not. It depends on the demographics of your audience. One of the things that makes The Marketing Zen Group different from other agencies is that we don't show up at the first meeting with a pre-packaged plan to sell to a new client. We'll listen to you first, then and develop recommendations for your company that will help you achieve your specific goals, solve the most pressing problems, and stay within your budget. We don't believe in one-size fits all social media marketing – and neither should you.
In fact, 49% of web users will make a purchase this month based on recommendations they received through a social media site.
Evaluate your Social Return on Investment (SROI). Evaluate SROI as a tool for measuring a much broader concept of value. SROI incorporates social, environmental, and economic costs and benefits into decision making and helps you readjust your strategy and tactics to meet your goals.
Measuring SROI
Counting the numbers is the easy part. Website visitors, blog links, Twitter mentions, Facebook fans and LinkedIn and Google+ connections are all numbers worth measuring.
Numbers, however, tell only half of the story. There's also the question of sentiment – what percentage of the comments about your brand are positive instead of negative? Is your social media marketing effort pushing that sentiment needle in a positive direction?
Your SROI – social return on investment – has to go a step further, and connect the results to your bottom line. We've been helping companies do that for years, and we'd love the chance to show you how to do it, too.
Analytics will tell you how many visitors came to your website from Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. They will also reveal how many people are engaging, buying, and more. Using analytics to constantly adapt our strategies, we are able to deliver our clients the best bang for their buck.
Ready to chat social media marketing with us? We look forward to it!
