On fire most of the time
I spy with my little eye...A classic 78?
if you are referring to my new .....used mower, its a 97. it had 330 hr's on it when i got it. some one replaced the motor in it recently, thats a big +. they were even nice enough to replace it with a Kohler command 19. a really nice motor. normally i would say all mower motors are about the same but this 19 hp is bigger than my B&S 23 thats in my other mower.it came with a 18 HP Kohler, and the one in it now looks nearly new. runs smooth and strong.
I'm going to tackle replacing the drive bely this morning, not a fun task.it seems i have to do some serious disassembly to get the belt off, bummer. but better to do it now then wait till its broken in the field some where. i gotta say I'm bummed out i don't have any thing left to mow although kinda nice to say I'm caught up on my mowing. don't think i ever said that last year with my other mower and i wasn't even mowing the hole yard last year. boy do i love this mower.
so after i get the belt changed I'm going to get back to some welding. i think I'll make a front bumper for it and possibly tackle some form of wrench carrier wile I'm at it. no matter what i get to, I'll be doing some welding and fabricating today, yaaaaaa!!! Finlay i get to burn some stuff this summer.

I know my tool boxes!
Got a KRL1022 myself...upgraded from a Classic 78. Works great, but they charge you out the *insert deleted word here* for it.Precision is only as important as the project...if you're building a rocket ship...1/64" would matter. If you're building a sledgehammer...an 1/8" probably wont.
So you've got multiple sets right? Leave them where you use them!
I've got a whole set right in the toolbox (where they belong), and then I have my extras spread out around the shop on the machines that need them. If I'm headed out to the driveway, I go to the toolbox to load up for the job. I don't drag the whole darn thing out there, as that takes more effort than making a couple trips for what I really need.
Think about it, do you really need to haul around 6 sets of the same stuff for a single task? Making a small "carry" toolbox full of the usual stuff would make more sense.Syncrowave 250DX
Invison 354MP
XR Control and 30A
Airco MED20 feeder
Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster 81
Smith O/A rig
And more machinery than you can shake a 7018 rod at
Even basically working alone it is amazing how many migrate around simply from the few people that come into my shop. The easiest way to loose a tool is put it in the toolbox in the wrong place

I simply divide them up amongst the palces i use them the most. I keep a double set in my "working tool box" and then keep the extras of what's needed for certain machines or workstations in my little shop in boxes next to said machines that have their tooling in them and such. TO me it's not a dillema, but a gift to have so many extras!!
My dellima is what to do with all the extra sockets i have... right now they are just in the drawers with the wrenches they go with according to metric or SAE since i don't have enough ratchets to disperse them to the tooling spots like i do with the wrnchesDynasty 200DX

I keep a couple of sets in the tool box, and these never leave home. The ones I carry around go on a slightly modified circlip. It keeps them all together, and hangs on a hook when not in use.

— HoustonDynamo (@HoustonDynamo) July 5, 2014
Brad Davis returned to Dynamo training this morning fresh off the plane from Brazil and the World Cup. Hear from him and Dominic Kinnear on their plans for him tomorrow and his experience with the USMNT.
In the latest edition of the Eddie Robinson Show, the guys discuss Houston's loss to Montreal, USA getting knocked out of the World Cup and the best way to improve the US National Team moving forward.

Dynamo President Chris Canetti chats to Eddie and Sebastian about the current state of the Dynamo, any changes coming to the team in the second half of the season and the World Cup impact on MLS.
Stream or watch the podcast below, or click here to subscribe on iTunes!
Ahead of the Dynamo versus New York match on July 4th, we spoke to David Horst, Andrew Driver and Dominic Kinnear on the state of the team and more.
Wow, what a fantastic World Cup so far for the U.S.A. and for our friend Brad "Bradzil" Davis. For the first time ever, the U.S. qualified for the knockout stage for the second consecutive World Cup, and for the first time ever, a Houston Dynamo player started for the US in a World Cup game. Fantastic.
We at Dynamo Charities are right there with the team – combining with the Houston SPCA on "World Pup", hosting viewing parties to collect toys for B.I.G. Love Cancer Care, working with Tommy Bahama's Woodlands and Woodlands Shooting Stars Special Olympics for the Ninth Annual Island Cowboy Classic Golf Tournament just this past Monday.
In addition to more viewing parties, the next big Dynamo Charities event is the annual Armed Forces Appreciation Night supporting Brad and Tally's Banded Brigade. You can purchase and donate tickets to the event here that come with the official Banded Brigade tshirt as a thank you – plus everlasting thanks from those service men and women that get to attend the Dynamo game due to your generosity. You also have the ability to bid on signed items from Brad and Tally – including Brad's U.S. Men's National Team Centennial Jersey – autographed by the World Cup man himself. The auction is open now, bid at auctions.houstondynamo.com.
Dynamo Charities and Brian Ching dedicated the second House that Ching Built on June 20th for the Garcia-Andrade family. We are only a few thousand dollars away from having raised enough money for a third House that Ching Built Habitat for Humanity house – we WILL raise the needed money and are planning to do the next one in early 2015. We also combined with BBVA Compass and the Houston Dash for a Build a Better Houston project along with Rebuilding Together Houston. And our annual Bald is Beautiful event meant lovely hairdos for several of the players and Theron Enns, the Dynamo athletic trainer, as well as yours truly. We did not break the world record at the shave event at the game, but next year….
Lastly for now, we have the annual BBVA Compass Dynamo Charities Cup on Saturday July 26th against Aston Villa, an English club with a very long history. Villa recently signed Joe Cole, a past England international player, and will prove a good test for the Dynamo. Tickets are available now, and we will be announcing some Dynamo Charities events leading into the match as well.
Follow us on twitter at @dynamocharities and @dynamochrtytony for more updates.

Friday's tentative contract agreement brought some peace back to the Medford School District with an end to the 16-day strike and a school consolidation that had thousands of students feeling out of sorts.
However, on Monday morning those students returned to their classrooms greeted by their teachers.
At Kennedy Elementary, teachers stood in front of the school welcoming their kids with hugs and smiles.
"Now that the teachers are back, I feel good and I'm going to play some orchestra," said Justin Brown, a student at Kennedy Elementary.
"I missed my teacher because she's really fun," explained Michaela Kasper, who's in 6th grade.
Students and teachers we spoke with said they were happy to be back.
"It's a great day," began Jim Stickrod, a 5th and 6th grade teacher at Kennedy Elementary.
"It's just good to be back with kids, with their teachers and where we enjoy working," he continued.
Parents were also breathing a sigh of relief.
"Oh yeah, I'm real glad. It's been a long couple weeks. It should have never gone this far," said Brad Loya, a Medford parent.
"I was worried about my son's transition, routine and stuff and it's just hard and he's extremely excited," said Kimberly Bramblett who was dropping off her son.
However, not everyone is so excited about the shift back to a normal school day.
"We only had to go to school from 7:45-12:15 and now we have to go 7:45 to 2:30," said 5th grader, Ty Golden.
"It's like nooooo," he lamented.
The majority of kids though were excited to have their teachers back so things can go back to normal, with the strike finally over.
All that's left now is teachers will have to vote on whether or not they accept the tentative contract. That's expected to be later this week.

If you are a victim of crime and the case is being prosecuted you may be eligible for restitution. If you have medical expenses or property damage because of the crime and you want to be repaid by the defendant, we need to hear from you and obtain documentation of your losses.
In order for us to accurately compute your monetary losses in your case for restitution purposes we need you to contact Victim Assistance at 503-373-4346 or toll free at 1-866-780-0960 as soon as possible. If you would prefer, you can also complete a restitution form and submit it directly to our restitution clerk.
If your insurance covered any of the losses, please make sure that we have a claim number, date of loss and phone number of your insurance company so that we may seek a restitution order for them as well.
If your case is closed and the defendant was ordered to pay restitution to you, you may obtain a copy of the Sentencing Order from Marion County Court Records, Marion County Courthouse, to determine the amount of restitution ordered and the time frame in which the defendant may have to begin making payments.
The defendant will make restitution payments to the Clerk of the Court who will then issue a check to you. If your address changes during the period in which you are to receive restitution payments, please notify the courts. You can do this by mailing the "Notice to Court Accounting Department" to the address indicated on the form.
IT HAS BEEN OUR EXPERIENCE THAT NOT ALL THE DEFENDANTS PAY AS ORDERED. If you do not receive a payment within ninety (90) days of the order, or if ninety (90) days lapse between payments, please send the notice "Regarding Delinquent Restitution Payments" to the address indicated on the form. If the defendant is supervised by the corrections department, the probation officer may notify the Court of the payment status. If the defendant is on probation to the Court, this form will serve as notice to the Court. If the defendant is sentenced to Oregon Corrections Department, restitution payments will not commence until he is released from prison.
You may have other legal rights, including the right to sue the defendant. The District Attorney's Office is not allowed to represent individual victims suing defendants. If you plan to sue, it will be necessary to contact a private attorney. The Oregon State Bar has a toll free referral number if you do not have a lawyer and you wish private legal advice. The number is 1-800-452-7636.

EDIT: Oh Steam is a US based company
Now stop discussing circumvention of the protection please folks, all the questions asked here are clearly answered on the Steam website and/or forums, that's the obvious place to look for info on the workings of it.
Maybe this kind of thing had a bearing on SI/Sega's decision:http://www.reghardware.com/2011/08/2...steam_support/
I imagine all these people who don't like Steam are over 40 and afraid of change...
Why the QQing about Steam?
"I just don't like it" is hardly a reason.
Second, if you'd bother to read just a page of the thread you'll find about ten different reasons as to why people are reluctant to rely totally on Steam.
Well if people don't want to use Steam they are out of luck.
That's what is required to play FM12. If you buy FM12 you'll need to have Steam and internet connection.
Otherwise don't buy it.
No amount of posts here will change their minds now. One can only hope that their sales are hit hard and they may rethink it.
However, I will be buying it. I look forward to playing the game. Steam use doesn't bother me.
Yep. The same as others who have said "they won't buy FM12 because you have to use Steam" x 100
lol you tell me not to talk down to people and then do the same to me, hypocrisy must be alright then. QQing was just easier to write.
I have read a lot of this thread, most people either seem to be afraid by change, misinformed, or just determined to kick up a fuss because SI did something without asking them first.
Last edited by swirlypop69; 19-09-2011 at 15:14. Reason: typo
As valid as yours? Which was my point in the first place.
That doens't mean you need to post it twice on every page.
SI/SEGA made a decision, and they have all the right to do it, to implement steam as a activation method.
Now the users have all the right to decide, or not, to buy the game! I dont see any problem with all the process.
As long as SI/SEGA state in the box that steam will be needed, and that a internet conection will be needed to activate the game, then everything is fine.
I've been reading this thread again, also some of my own posts, and sometimes people get a little carry away...
I mean, it's SI/SEGA game, so they have all the right to decide what to do with it! As long as they inform all the potential buyers, which they will, what the problem?
At the end, its a simple decision to buy or not to buy the game? If it's because steam, or because you dont like the new features, or because your PC it's crap and dont run the game, at the end it's always a simple decision... buy or not!
And i dont think that anyone as to justify!
I will buy it! With or without steam! Others will do something different! End of story!
Last edited by Keyzer Soze; 19-09-2011 at 15:26.
Ah Keyzer the nice voice of reason
Exactly Keyser.
Nothing is going to change that for FM12. Unless there's a serious drop in sales. FM12 will need Steam and Internet.
It's not a hard decision, as Keyser points out.
I hope it works out for SI and Sega and that sales are good and plentiful to continue producing the game.
I'm willing to go the Steam route, not entirely happy about it. But it's the way it is. I'll do it for FM12. Because I want to play the game. Regardless of any hoops I have to jump through. And if these hoops mean less piracy then I'm down with that.
Again, I work in an industry where pirating software is destroying the trade. And I'm all for anti-piracy techniques and I applaud and support SI and Sega for taking steps to try make it better for their industry.
They could expand a bit more on it is all I ask, give a why and then people can respond to it, as has been happening in some cases. Most of it seems to be out of misinformation and just the general love of forum users for a good whine. Stating "I don't like it" is about as useful as most of my posts!
the only problem i've seen so far, is that there is a lot of bad information about steam, the activation process, the patching process, etc etc
And if there is people who have made up their mind, some are still trying to decide.
And in some degree, this thread is not being very helpfull, in some cases quite the opposite.
It's had been mention before by many users, SI should create a new thread with some FAQ, and with one or two mods (that really understand the steam process) to help everybody making the best personal decision!
Anyway it would be great to have a topic about Steam with all those FAQ answered thoroughly.
SI barely even need to create an FAQ, the majority of information they can just lift from the Steam Support section (for example, a how to for offline mode). Should be easy enough!
There were some things I thought I knew about Steam, but obviously I was wrong. I didn't help matters giving my opinion on things where I had it wrong.
I think SI have stopped looking at this thread now, imo (not fact)?
It seems that this is an issue that is pretty much polarising opinion to one extreme or the other - love or hate. There seems to very little middle ground.I fully understand Steam bashing, it's generally caused me problems and I have issues with many of Steam's principles. I avoid buying games via Steam now - if it's only available on Steam, I'm unlikely to buy it.
I'm surprised they didn't at least link to Steam website. Would give people a chance to actually look at the program and get to grips with it in advance and remove some of the fear of the unknown. They also have a fairly comprehensive Support section where I'm sure people could find out answers to most of their questions whilst the mods, or whoever, reword some of it to make it more FM specific.
I would like to see a FAQ specific for FM.
Simple things like... would the steam instalation file be on the disk? do we need to install it, or will it be automatically installed?
And please don't take this as a titfortat, us/them thing. I have said nothing against Steam, I have never used Steam and therefore can't answer these questions. I would just like the people who can to check their facts before they do.
EDIT; Just seen post #2269 after already posting the above.

Give people options and they will be happy as more often than not everyone will find a method or option that suits them best.
Take those options away and you stir the hornets nest.
If SI/Sega were honestly thinking about this say.... 2 months AFTER FM11 was released then they had ample time to look at the options but also consult with us, ask for our opinions, give us a poll on possible options that were being looked at. By not doing this they haven't taken away options but denied us the chance to perhaps create options.
Ford decide to sell cars in just one colour.... Pink. How would that affect sales? Ford have every right to do it, but is it smart to do it?
Same applies here, we only have two options. Buy with Steam or don't. Some won't buy it, some will but in the end help us and help yourselves.
Some people may want to keep Steam and buy more games from them.
>Others will want to use Steam to activate and then get rid of it.<
Others won't use Steam at all, even for activation and won't buy the game.
By adding that middle option you give people a choice to use SI/Sega's chosen method of activation but then remove it once we have showed that we have bought this game through legal means and that we are loyal and honest customers.
Innocent until proven guilty. Let us prove our innocence by activating but don't punish us as if we are guilty afterwards by forcing us to continue to use Steam.
hahahahahaha brilliant the car analogies are back, where is Kriss???!!
Once your account is set up and you have activated FM12 then you need never go online with Steam again (unless you change your mind and want the patches )Please note that you must connect to the Steam Network and test each of the games you would like to use in Offline Mode at least once to set up your account and configure Offline Mode on your machine.
Offline Mode allows you to play games through Steam without reconnecting to the Steam Network every time you wish to play - this is particularly useful if you do not plan on playing over the internet and would prefer not to download new updates for your single-player games."
which would hopefully have answered your question
a) Steam will always download and install the latest game patch unless:
a.1) you have steam set as offline
a.2) you set, in preferences of your steam acount, to not update automatically.
So, if this is right, you can play the game without the lastest patch. When you decide that it's time to install the patch, you undo "a.1" or "a.2" and automatically the patch is download and install!
I wish a mod would at least update the first post with this URL!
As it seems to take them forever to write an FAQ!
After installing Steam & after 3 days finally getting access to my dormant account I do see one huge upside that could lead to advances in FM that I would like to see, 64bit dedicated coding if the numbers stack up & a faster push to improved graphics & interface if again the hardware figures suggest that the majority of FM owners could support a rapid improvement.
I still have concerns but will be assessing them over the coming months as I did not intend to by FM12 until Jan/February anyway.
Yeah best bet mate, wait it out, see what the feedback is like, if you were planning to buy in Jan anyway you have nothing to lose!! You should download steam tho and give it a few weeks, you can browse and download a few free games, or cheap ones, work with it, set it offline and see how you get on, keep it online, everything possible, and obviously if you dont like it you dont like it.
The Main problem is definitely the fact steam has to remain on your drive, is there a possibility of activation then removing the software used but remembering the honest players who have done this but un-installed?
Nope. Steam must be running.
steam cannot be removed if you want to play FM. It must be there to unlock the game every time you want to play it.
If Steam is going to stop piracy, and if 80% of FM's in use are pirated, does that mean the game will be 20% of the price this year?
Of course that steam system must have to keep on your computer, as it can get at medium or long term more customers, sell more games. its business! are the rules of the game!
Nothing is made without money in this world, i'm pretty sure that SI/SEGA receives money from steam for using them to activate the game. It makes sence that things happen like that. Steam needs to attract more costumers, SI/SEGA need money to continue making FM.
I really dont think the SI/SEGA are cheating FM users with this. They ate defending their business, as we all do.
They will only be cheating, if they didn't tell us, and you would only found out that you need steam to activate the game, when you arrive home and install the game. But that's not the case. They inform us, so we have all the info we need to decide if we want to buy or not.

Didn't SI or someone from Sega say already that no money was exchanged between Steam?
I'll ask again
- Will people know at the time of purchase that the game can only be activated online?
- If so, is it stated in big bold letters on the front of the cover or is it written in font 2 at the back?
EDIT: This is pure fabrication on my part, please don't take it has gospel

The problem is I really want FM2012 (Fry's Chocolate Cream)
But I really don't want Steam (marmite)
And the only place I can get the one I want, insist and are therefore forcing me (the customer) to have the one I don't.
No more food analogies
And i also think that the steam instalation file should be provided in the disk game.
But i'm sure that pretty soon SI will provide a lot more information on this.
Imagine the uproar if a country was not listed but should have been.
basically yes steam collects when your offline, and yes it send this when you go back online.
I play FM on a PC which isn't connected to the internet, so I'm disappointed by this decision. I also still have the memory of activating FM2009 which took me 2 days.
I have no experience of using Steam myself. I know someone who did try to activate FM via Steam once, who gave up after problems, and just installed it without using Steam.
I also don't like the idea of Steam pointlessly running in the background whilst I play. I think SI/Sega are punishing the genuine consumers more than the pirates here.
Can this game be played with the internet off?? Sorry I don't have time to read 24 pages!
hope that helpsPosted by lf_my_dream View Post
I'm from Germany and had no problems activating my imported boxed copy of FM11 on steam last year, even though it's not available on our regional steam store. You can install from the disc as well, so steam only downloads the patches.
Cheers.....bad news in my opinion steam has brought me nothing but problems but so goes it.

Adapted from Celebrating with the Kosher Butcher's WifeBy Sharon LurieWhen I think of Spain, I think of another whole side of my family I have never met who live in Murcia. They chose to use the surname Smilg (my original maiden name, which was changed to Smith upon leaving Russia). My great-uncle Sam, however, changed his name to Santiago, but just to prove we're all Smilgs at heart, I am dedicating this recipe to his family.
A little olive oil for frying1 whole chicken, cut into 10 portions1 - 7 oz. package Spanish flavored yellow rice3 cups boiling water1 lb. Russian sausages (that's just to tie in the Russian blood!) like Jack's 1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped1 tsp. crushed garlic1 red pepper (bell pepper) deseeded and choppedHandful of chopped fresh parsley15 -18 black olives, rinsed, seeds removed1 9 oz. can mushrooms3 red Rosa tomatoes, peeled and chopped or a 13 oz. can chopped and peeled tomatoes6 ounces tomato paste1 tsp. brown sugar3 bay leavessalt and pepper to taste
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a high heat and fry the chicken until just brown on the outside. The chicken portions don't have to be cooked through, as they are still to be cooked in the oven. Fryingsimply makes them look more appetizing.Place the chicken portions in an ovenproof dish and cover with the rice and its flavoring and the boiling water.Using the same pan, fry the "Russian" kielbasa sausages until lightly browned and place them on top of the chicken and rice.Preheat the oven to 300 degreesAdd a little more oil to the pan and fry the onions, garlic, red pepper, parsley and olives until soft.Add the mushrooms (with their juice), tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar and bay leaves, and season with salt and pepper.Bring to the boil, remove from the heat and pour over the sausages and chicken.Cover the dish and bake in the oven for 1 1/2 hours. Check on it halfway through to ensure that there is enough liquid for the rice to fluff up fully. Don't mix it, because the rice may go "stodgy". Just gently part the rice and see if the bottom of the dish is dry. If it is, add 1-cup warm chicken stock.
Serves 6.
Recipe: kosher, poultry, chicken

Implementing GHG Permitting - Questions and Answers
The question and answer documents (Q&A) on this page explain the requirements of EPA regulations, describe EPA policies, and recommend procedures for permitting authorities to use to ensure that permitting decisions are consistent with applicable regulations. These Q&A are not a rule or regulation, and the guidance they contain may not apply to a particular situation based upon the individual facts and circumstances. These Q&A do not change or substitute for any law, regulation, or any other legally binding requirement and are not legally enforceable. The use of non-mandatory language such as "guidance," "recommend," "may," "should," and "can," is intended to describe EPA policies and recommendations. Mandatory terminology such as "must" and "required" are intended to describe controlling requirements under the terms of the Clean Air Act and EPA regulations, but the Q&A do not establish legally binding requirements in and of themselves.

perceptual / theme
Experience comes to us through a variety of channels. Sometimes, it touches us, a physical force laid upon our bodies. Other times, we understand something, put it in its place, know how and why it functions. But sometimes it happens through the elusive faculty of perception. Perception is not purely cognitive, nor is it solely physical -- a product of the senses. Rather, it is a spectral faculty hovering between raw material experience and cognitive experience. It is a sieve, the filter of knowledge, understanding, and sensation.
Themes represent basic categories of thought, emotion, or value. While our assignment of themes may at times seem arbitrary or whimsical, they serve to link together artists and movements along non- hierarchial pathways. Follow the themes to look for new disciplines that share qualities with those you already like, or to open up new worlds of Art and Culture.

"An extremely rich, yet delicious cookie bar! Walnuts aren't the only nut you can use; try any of your other favorites like pecans, peanuts, or cashews."

1 1/2 cups
graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup
margarine, melted
1 cup
chopped walnuts
3/4 cup
semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup
butterscotch chips
1 1/2 cups
flaked coconut
1 1/3 cups
sweetened condensed milk
HELPFUL TIPS THAT HELPED ME: If you're like me, you'll probably be thinking "this is way too sweet" while you put all those chocolate chips on top of the crust & YOU'LL BE RIGHT! LOL I think 1/2 cup of one or a little less than 1/2C of each is perfect!! If you do chocolate chips only, try using a mixture of semi-sweet and milk chocolate. It's an amazing blend that I always get comments on!!! Second, mine turns out perfect using just a 14oz (1 cup) can of fat-free sweetened condensed milk. Thought that may help someone when trying to decide what can to buy w/o pre-measuring. I just drizzled all over, and it covered it perfectly! Lastly, when I don't have a box of graham cracker crumbs, I just use quick oats, and it still turns out good! I like to individually wrap these in plastic wrap so the kids can just grab and go. I'd say "grab and share" but they'd prefer eating the whole thing themselves!
This recipe is NOT the original. You must mix the butter and crumbs together, then press into the bottom of the pan (which you definitely should grease before doing this!).
Also, put in the chocolate, then nuts, then coconut, and finally drizzle with the milk. Otherwise, the bars fall apart because there's no "glue" to hold it together.
522 Ratings
These are always the first to go during the holiday period. I usually increase the graham cracker crust so the bar has a more solid base and the chocolate and butterscotch chips to 1 cup vs 3/4 cup. Wonderful recipe!
Substituted Quaker Quick 1 Minute Oats for graham cracker crumbs -- worked beautifully. Try it!
My husband loves this one ... and so do I!! One hint - try putting the can of condensed milk in hot water for 5 minutes before pouring over the coconut, etc - it pours so easily and evenly over the rest of the bar. This may not be new to others, but I just thought of it today. Enjoy!
Although I prefer to leave the nuts off, this is the best version of this recipe. The milk MUST be on top of it all, make for a chewy, more gooey type bar. I've tried it with the milk over the crust first and it just wasn't nearly as good (disappointed). Yummy!
A great recipe... It turned out great just like it should when you exactly follow the recipe...
I find it amazing that something so easy to prepare can be so delicious! I don't like butterscotch, so I used peanut butter chips instead. These cookies are really rich so the recipe goes a long way! My family's rating- a definite keeper!

An investigational drug is one that is under study and is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for sale in the United States. Medical research studies are conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug. These research studies are also called clinical trials. Once an investigational drug has been proven safe and effective in clinical trials, FDA may approve the drug for sale in the United States.
Cabotegravir (also known as S/GSK1265744) is an investigational drug that is being studied for the treatment and prevention of HIV infection.4
Cabotegravir belongs to a class (group) of HIV drugs called integrase inhibitors.2 Integrase inhibitors block an HIV enzyme called integrase. (An enzyme is a protein that starts or increases the speed of a chemical reaction.) By blocking integrase, integrase inhibitors prevent HIV from multiplying and can reduce the amount of HIV in the body.
Cabotegravir does not require boosting with an additional drug. (Boosting involves the use of a second drug to increase the effectiveness of the main [first] drug.)5
Two forms of cabotegravir are being studied: tablets that are taken by mouth (known as oral cabotegravir or oral CAB) and a long-acting injectable form that is injected into the muscle or under the skin (known as GSK744 LA).6,7 (A long-acting drug formulation works over a long period of time. Using this type of drug might mean that the drug could be taken less often, making a treatment or prevention regimen simpler to take.)4
Clinical trials are conducted in phases. Each phase has a different purpose and helps researchers answer different questions.8
In most cases, an investigational drug must be proven safe and effective in a Phase III clinical trial to be considered for approval by FDA for sale in the United States. Some drugs go through FDA's accelerated approval process and are approved before a Phase III clinical trial is complete. After a drug is approved by FDA and made available to the public, researchers track its safety in Phase IV trials to seek more information about the drug's risks, benefits, and optimal use.8
Cabotegravir is currently being studied in Phase IIb clinical trials.2
In a Phase IIb study (known as the LATTE study), investigators looked at the safety and effectiveness of three different strengths of oral cabotegravir taken once daily in HIV-infected adults. Participants had never taken HIV medicines before entering the study (also called treatment-naive). The study consisted of two parts. During the first part, which lasted 24 weeks, participants were assigned to one of the following four regimens:
In the Phase IIb LATTE study discussed under the previous question, mild to moderately severe headache occurred in some participants taking oral cabotegravir.14
Because cabotegravir is still being studied, information on possible side effects of the drug is not complete. As testing of cabotegraivr continues, additional information on possible side effects will be gathered.
More information about cabotegravir-related research studies is available from the AIDSinfo database of ClinicalTrials.gov study summaries. Click on the title of any trial in the list to see the ClinicalTrials.gov trial summary and more information about the study.
Participating in a clinical trial can provide benefits. For example, a volunteer participant can benefit from new research treatments before they are widely available. Participants also receive regular and careful medical attention from a research team that includes doctors and other health professionals. However, clinical trials may also involve risks of varying degrees, such as unpleasant, serious, or even life-threatening side effects from the treatment being studied.8
Your health care provider can help you decide whether participating in a clinical trial is right for you. For more information, visit NIH Clinical Research Trials and You.

I would just go for comfort. The tig gloves miller sells are nice, but any local shop will have ones that are fine. I would get a set of thin TIG specific gloves that feel good. Prob want a thicker longer pair for stick.

What is an RSS feed?
"RSS" is short for "Really Simple Syndication," "RDF Site Summary," or "Rich Site Summary"--depending on who you want to believe. RSS feeds often include headlines, news, events, blog entries, recent excerpts from discussion forums--usually information that is updated fairly frequently.
An RSS feed is just a simple way to summarize and share web-based information. The RSS file isn't made for people to read; it's basically a "news map" designed to be read by a piece of software and then re-published in a people-friendly format.
Individuals often use RSS "feed readers" to keep up with breaking news or recent developments related to topics they're interested in. Media organizations use the feeds both to monitor news and as another means of delivering their content to consumers.
What is a podcast?
The word "podcast" is a combination of the terms "iPod" (Apple's portable digital audio player) and "broadcast." Podcasts often includes news, events, and commentary on current events.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has shared some upsetting news: Over the past few years, thousands of dogs and at least 10 cats have become sick after eating various forms of jerky for pets—and around 580 pets have died.
Some of the effected pets have grown ill within hours of eating the treats, sold as jerky tenders or strips made of chicken, duck, sweet potatoes or dried fruit, and primarily made in China. These pets have exhibited decreased appetite, decreased activity, vomiting, diarrhea, increased water consumption and/or increased urination.
The FDA has tested more than 1,200 jerky treat samples over the past few years, but has not determined the cause of the illnesses. If your pet has experienced these symptoms as a result of eating jerky treats, or to find out more information, please visit the FDA's website. The FDA has set up a reporting form to lodge complaints about jerky pet treats.
For other pet poison emergencies, please contact the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) by calling (888) 426-4435.

Does it really matter which you use? I know thorium fumes can be carcinogenic, but does ceriated tungsten do anything different? I've never used it.

FWIW, 2% lanthanated seems to work great for everything. It's not radioactive like thoriated, and it's not much more expensive (on ebay) than ceriated.

Does it matter what type of machine you have when using lanthinated?

All I use is 2% thorium. Smooth stable arc and starts great on my dc transformer.
The fumes are not carcinogenic. It the dust when you dress the tip you have to worry about. However, you stand a greater change of getting cancer from second hand cigarette smoke then you do from grinding or dressing a 2% thoriated tungsten. The ultraviolet light flash from the tig weld arc will give you cancer faster.Lincoln Idealarc 250 stick/tig

I have found the biggest success with 2% thoriated is that is has a very large usable amp range, so using 3/32 for steel then cleaning/ballsing your tip and doing 1/8 aluminum is possible

I think this is the first site I have ever seen that actually animates the text size changing when you click "larger text"....
I gather this is work of the same person/team responsible for Trinity Western. There are a number of parallels, most notably the header and navigation. Unfortunately, it's not nearly as visually appealing. In fact, I'd go as far as saying it looks dated and decidedly too compartmentalized (due, in large part, to all the borders that give it a very "tabled" feel)
PS: "tabled" is not a word, I totally just made that up because I'm a badass.
@msteciuk - this site was not done by the same designer as Trinity Western but deliberately copied - I think it's funny :) The Trinity Western guys done seem to mind the copy - flattery I guess :)
Colors are very flat and bland for me.
@youthpoint - explains a lot, actually.
I like the schools colors, but would like to see a few changes.
1)Lose bread crumb bar on homepage (we know it is the homepage).
2)Change the nav box color from the beige color to the red color of the top bar. (On child pages, make selected third level nav that beige color and make main nav and header's bg red).
3)Change the look of the red buttons below nav. They steal some of the nav's thunder and since they are all red (and there are a lot of them), my eye ignores what they say and looks elsewhere on the page. Not affective.
4)Lose red text and red text links.. big no no for usability, and they just don't look good.
5)Consider losing the bread crumbs all together. Instead when a user clicks on a third level nav link, the fourth level nav links could appear indented and visually different below (so the user can get back to the previous section easily, all within the main left nav through collapsing and expanding sections).
Feel free to try different things, but please address issues mentioned. Thanks.

The Wrong Move (Falsche Bewegung)
The Wrong Move and The Wrong Movement were the English-language titles for German director Wim Wenders' Falsche Bewegung. Made for television, the film is an update of Goethe's Wilhelm Meister.

His companions on this journey are pragmatic Therese (Hanna Schygulla), bisexual Mignon (Nastassja Kinski, billed under her real name, Nakszynski), Mignon's hippielike boyfriend Laertes (Hans-Christian Blech), and artistically bankrupt poet Landau (Peter Kean). The foursome accept the hospitality of an industrialist (Ivan Desny), who unbeknownst to all but himself is a deeply troubled ex-Nazi. Novelist Peter Handke wrote the screenplay for Wrong Move.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

How can I (or anybody) help people begging for money on streets?
I am a college student and want a idea that i can spread among educated people about how they can help people(beggars) and improve their life. We(my team) are thinking of organising a social event with a aim of helping street beggars by making them aware and planning out a solution to tell people how they can contribute.Its going to happen in India.
Kua Keys
Sep 16 2013: Here's the way my Honey and I decided to approach the problem. If someone begs for food, we buy them food. If a kid says their mom needs money for food, we buy the food.
- +3
If someone one the street asks for money-we decided our quest was to be generous or not. We decide to be generous--what the person does with our generosity is on them.
Other than that, I carry blankets and jackets given to me in the trunk of my car--and hand them out where I see need. I also work with a local recycle center to take their clothes and shoes and these I give to an organization who helps the homeless.
My mother was homeless back in the day and I hope if she was cold somebody helped her. Even if she drank it away, I'm glad they helped her because then she still knew folks were generous.
Sep 16 2013: Do you really think giving what they want is a solution. In my opinion this can be short term solution but what we are looking for is something that can help them getting their food by themselves.
Kua Keys
Sep 16 2013: I agree what I described is a short-term solution. Other than that, I write my senators and congress person about the homeless in my community. In other countries, like Mexico, I urge our government to do all we can to make the Mexican government less corrupt. Also in other countries, I look for organizations to help with the problem there...organizations like 'Clean Water' who teach how to build wells. I do what I can then I let it go.

Sep 16 2013: I wish there would be more people like you. You really inspired me.
Neil Cheong
Sep 15 2013: I've been to India myself. I understand the sight that you saw in your eyes. It is just simply too many of them to save. But, something have to be done to stop this. Great question you have there. Personally, i think the suitable way to approach is to engage with the local community there at first, understand and find out the reasons why someone (street kids, women, elders etc) would beg for money. The caste system in India and the social built in India is very much different around the world. After the engagement, look for some local authority or organization that can provide you sufficient materials (funds, food or logistics) to make your movement more sustainable and beneficial to the targeted people. My main point of view is the power of education can change their lives provided they are willing to accept the change that you wish to apply at first.

Jeff Cano
Sep 11 2013: People beg because of a certain problem. That problem is the root cause. However, consider that there are other issues to this. I am used to people who beg. While I may want to offer them jobs.. i doubt most will take it or i doubt most will last long working.
- +3
Sometimes they are just accustomed to the life of begging having begged since childhood. To put them in a working environment is not conducive to their personality.
If you really want to target this social problem, i feel that its best to start with children. They are more open to learn new things. If you give them the slightest hint that they can do more with their life (vs just begging). You have just opened a doorway to change a habit.
The reason for my views... a good number of the female folks over at mountainous areas in my country despite being high school graduates dream of working as a maid in the capital city. Even though they are educated upto K10 equivalent, they stopped short of wanting to go beyond their capabilities. The society that surrounded them in those provincial areas cultured them to to "want" that kind of job. Its a farming community after all... they have no idea what to do with a college degree in their community.
If I were to target these population, i would tell them to go beyond their opinion of what constitute to be their dream job. Expose them to college and possible future careers i believe can change that.Sep 13 2013: Greetings Sonika,
I would suggest talking to the very people you want to help. When you see a person begging (with another member of your team, if that makes you more comfortable), take the time to stop and talk to that person. Take the time that not many are willing to take. What you may come away with is valuable insight into how you can truly help, in a way they may be willing to accept. Begging has been common since the earliest of human civilisation, and has many different variables and causes within different cultural contexts. Asking questions in a collaborative community is a great way to get started. Asking questions and familiarising yourself with those who are in a situation where they need to beg is a great way to gain inside perspectives that provide you with insight, better understanding, and ideally, answers. You may become aware of other issues that may exacerbate the need to beg within your country, your state/provincial region, even your city. You may discover known causes that you may have not considered that contribute to the 'problem'. You may find that there are cycles that are viewed as difficult or impossible to break. You will never know if you do not ask.
wayne uejio
Sep 10 2013: You are asking a very difficult question. I feel that we have to solve the underlying problems: addictions, mental health problems, physical problems, lacking skills, etc.Sep 16 2013: i know that it is actually a vast field. As some of you mentioned not all beggars are homeless, not all beg for food only..People beg for different reasons.Agree

I want to concentrate on a small part of it.I am here because i saw people out there on streets in my city who are homeless, begging for money and food,people for whom hygienic food and pure water is something very big dream,people who are living a life that many of you cant imagine even. Their life is getting worse day by day.
Sep 16 2013: Sonika, why???
Why are they homeless?
Is it mostly men, or women, or both?
Have you interviewed any of them?
Are you saying there are no organizations in your country that deal with this, and that you are trying to start one?
Would you like some links to similar organizations here in my state?Sep 15 2013: My bro was indigent for 5 to 6 years and we were living in Oxford England at that time, my sis and me. Maybe some people do have family like my bro. His friend phoned my dad and He went to look for him and brought him home.
This happened like 2 times. Then he just was left in his trip with whatever he drugged himself with. Thanks to God we found this Sukyo Mahikari since my bro was about to be left in a mental health house. He started receiving the energy and Thank GOD He came back on his mind. Now he works and help us . Of course this is not for everyone the solution cause it has to be for every family. I am aware not everyone has a family..
Sep 15 2013: thank god? which god? the same god who responsible for putting you all in such a bad situation in the first place? thank the people who actually deserve it, the ones who helped you.
Sep 16 2013: The God who guided those people who help us . He guides us to help one another.Sep 14 2013: Tell an empty belly what to do or fill it with food and see how much mileage you get out of that person should help you to determine the right path.

Sep 15 2013: That is another point entirely, but a good one.
Fritzie -
Sep 10 2013: Several people in the thread below have mentioned that the situation may be very different in different places. As Greg wrote below, in many locations clean water and hygienic food are not the issue. But mental health issues are a major challenge within the homeless population, and escape from abusive homes a major factor for homeless women and children. Both these situation call for intervention, in my opinion. There are some too who choose the vagabond life, even though they have places they would be taken in.
- +1
In my city, and perhaps others, there is a local newspaper that is vended entirely by "homeless" people. I put homeless in quotation marks, because the vendors include people who would be homeless were it not for the availability of shelters and very low cost subsidized housing.
Any homeless person who wants a job of selling the paper gets five free papers to sell for $2 each and thereafter can buy papers for 60 cents each and sell them for $2.
The vendors must agree to a few conditions. One is that they cannot stake out a place to sell from where another vendor is already situation. There is a regular vendor, for example, in front of the drug store and a different one in front of the grocery store.
Another rule is that they cannot also ask for spare change at the same time they are on the job. And they must behave in law-abiding and courteous ways, of course. They are trained in how to approach customers. For example, if you don't buy the paper, they still say "Have a nice day."
They police each other at their work in the sense that they report each other.
Sep 11 2013: How you doing Fritz? I do understand and realize the good value/point in this newspaper ...thing (writers block)? However, do you believe there is something more that can be done? The extra mile. Do you believe this is the only or maximum capabilities the unemployed/homeless people can do? I strongly believe the missing variable to the problem is the lack of opportunities and not the mental health condition of those who are unemployed/homeless. I'm not claiming you do this but when I look at a homeless or unemployed person I do not stereotype them as mentally ill, mentally challenged, or lazy people. I strongly believe they are all capable of helping humanity in some form or another. What is the newspaper about exactly? I imagine the best thing the paper could be about is how to grow food, building and designing a home, how to BUILD alternative energy sources, and ...anything that could improve their lives without relying on others for an opportunity. This brings me to conclude are we ever REALLY independent? Not at all in todays society, anywhere and we will never be BUT we can only pave a better path than what is present with tools/technology. Educate. We should all never stop learning at any age or amount of experience and an opportunity alone (to learn) should never be suppressed or competed for in any shape or form.
Sep 11 2013: It is not that this is the only or maximum capability of homeless. Many of them might prove to be more talented than us if they get same opportunity like we did.Newspaper selling is a good starting and following this way we can create many many opportunities for them :)
But creating a new opportunity is actually not that easy.I think we have to make them understand and realise so that they try getting some work by themselves.Sep 11 2013: The newspaper is a normal newspaper that addresses issues of local interest. It has the same potential audience as other papers with a progressive slant.
The newspaper sellers are, in my observation, not at all mentally challenged or lazy. As Sonika writes, it is a job that connects those who do it to the other people living and working in the neighborhoods they serve. It is a job they can get without an address, an interview, or any prejudgment of their potential and has flexible hours, to accomodate other things they may need to do.
Do not assume the homeless are uneducated. Some are minimally educated and others are educated. I have worked in educational settings for homeless youth age 14-21 and also have worked with homeless students at college and university.
Sep 12 2013: I do not assume they are uneducated. They are educated in a way that only benefits the monatary system. The "reset button". What I mean is educate in a way that is independent of the monatary system, an alternative to trying to create mindless jobs..Sep 12 2013: Have you had an opportunity to explore with homeless people in your city what they have been educated or trained to do or what they may be studying? You might be surprised.
Sep 12 2013: I understtand. If they were able to become independent of a monatary system we would all be surprised.
greg dahlen
Sep 9 2013: Well, I usually give money to beggars, and sometimes get in conversations with them, which is a good way to learn about them. Most of the ones I've talked to didn't seem that unhappy with the begging life. Maybe your first question to a beggar might be "What do you want out of life, realistically?" "Is it something you feel you can attain, and how might you do so?" But Sonika, have you actually talked to many beggars, if you talked to them you might find out they're not so unhappy, I mean, think of Buddha, he preached against possessions yet was very happy. In other words, before you try to improve their life, make sure they really want it improved.
- +1
Sep 9 2013: who do not want hygienic food, pure drinking water, education, a safer place than footpath to live, clothes to cover their body?
And above all these is they too have right to live a better life.Just because those children are born there do not have right to live a life that i am living.
Sep 9 2013: well, I guess a person who is not ambitious might not want education. Here in the U.S., beggars basically get hygienic food, pure drinking water, and clothes to cover their body. They have to sleep outside, which is a little unsafe, but maybe they don't want to do the work associated with having an apartment.
Remember, Sonika, different people have different amounts of ambition. Some people are ambitious to have a very high quality of life, others are content with less quality.
Sep 9 2013: But I think above all these comes "RIGHT" to live a better life.Its not a person who is not ambitious might not want education But a person who do not have a shelter do not care about being educated or not.For them the first thing is to get all basic needs. Ambition is defined in different areas. May be that some are okay with the less quality of life but a minimum quality is there below which imagining life is difficult for many of us but people are there living it. Having high ambitions is taken as a dangerous thing among them.Sep 11 2013: well, in the United States nobody has to beg, Sonika, and there aren't many beggars. Anyone who wants it can have food, shelter, clothing that comes from the government and charities, although it may not be the quality of a rich person it is still quite good. If a person sees someone begging here, perhaps it is because they want money for alcohol or drugs, those are things the government and charities will not give them. So my perspective may be different from yours. But I think it would be good to talk to beggars, in fact I would talk to a lot of them before I go to the trouble of starting an organization, and ask them how they feel about their life, and ask them what change they would want, if any. Have you ever done either of these? This way you'll know if they really want help, and you'll know what kind of help would help them the most.
Sep 9 2013: Do you think that perhaps people beg for money for different reasons?
- +1
How can this be a "one size fits all" solution?
Sep 9 2013: yes.
some beg just for their livelihood but some ask money saying they need food but use it for smoking or drinking kind of activities too.
giving money is not at all a solution in my opinion but doing nothing will not help either.
seeking for a long term, practical, could be executed at every individual level solution.
Sep 11 2013: Thank you for your reply.
I was going to add more information, but Fritzie up top mentions what was on my mind about the homeless populations in our country.
We pretty much have the same scenario here in the state where I live.
Good conversation Sonika.
I will continue to follow the contributions.
Karthik CR
Sep 9 2013: Let me start by saying that begging is illegal in india the main reason reason why begging is still thriving is because of poverty and unemployment and two because of a lack of a central Act that governs begging. if you are held for giving alms at traffic signals you could be fined Rs 1,000. But why one can still see beggars at traffic signals,bus stands,temples,railway stations etc etc etc because indian police cannot regulate each and every street so people should stop giving money to beggars.
- +1
Bangalore which is capital of Karnataka has a the Beggars' Rehabilitation Centre (known better as Beggars' Colony) where people found begging on streets will be dropped in to this colony. People inside this colony describe it as living hell as it lacks basic amenities , unhygienic food, dirty drinking water so beggars bribe the authorities and come back to streets.
Secondly i think Instead of just providing beggars with food or shelter won't solve the problem we should train these people with certain skills so that they can earn money like any small scale industrial training such as tailoring etc so they can meet their basic needs.
There are many NGO working for this cause try seeking help from these people if you are planning a event it will be a lot easier .
Sep 9 2013: karthik, we know their is a problem existing.Begging is not legal but if we want a developed country throwing these beggars out is not the solution.What we are looking for is a solution at college level or individual level that may help them.Whenever a beggar come to me i get a dilemma whether to give or not.If yes then how long it will be continued? and if not what else can i do to help them being a person living better life then they are?
Sep 9 2013: Who said throwing out beggars is a solution? Not only developing countries has beggars even developed countries has beggars. There is no solution at college level of individual level .
From what i have seen there are two types of beggars ones who are physically challenged and two who are physically fit for the first set of people we can setup shelter homes provide them with food and basic amenities for the second set of people one should not give money and instead job opportunities can be provided to them like help them to get a job in a local factory, help them set up newspaper stand or something like that as i said this kind of problems cannot be solved by a single individual a set of volunteers with same motive should come together to fight for a cause.
Sep 11 2013: Is newspaper stand or factory work the best of "their" capabilities? How many times do you believe someone should be forced to reset their "corporate ladder" (money) button? I strongly believe many are capable of learning just as we all are. The problem arises when the knowledge becomes meaningless to benefit themselves and others. It is wasted because only the people in those higher positions are able to put what they know to something concrete (competition). There is a limit of personnel in these higher positions many of us experience. Call it good luck maybe?Sep 15 2013: don't support companies that outsource jobs. they try to justify it by saying that it means they can make their products cheaper which is good for society, but that obscures the truth, because what is important is the sales/wages balance. even if something is sold cheaply, that company is then taking money out of the society in sales but not putting any back in as wages, so there are fewer jobs, which means there are fewer customers around and so everyone else loses out much more than they gain from saving money on cheap goods.
as for india though the best way to fight homelessness is through education. there has been remarkable progress made in kerala where better education has led to a decrease in the birthrate which in turn has led to people being much better off as money and food is distributed among far fewer people. there is a ted talk on it somewhere, sorry i forget the speaker's name though.Sep 15 2013: If you could teach them to pick the pockets of politicians as well as the politicians pick ours, that would be helpful and entertaining. Personally I would pay money just to see that.Sep 15 2013: If you have extra pass it on. Try to remember it is not for them it is for you. When ever you give something you always get more in return, so at that rate of exchange you should become rich beyond your wildest dreams.Sep 15 2013: in my opinion. the best response would be to push your parliamentarians to fully legalise the drug trade in your country, bring the whole outfit under the wing of the medical and tax services. I am deadly serious, as a young teenager i found myself hundreds of miles away from family and living on the streets of London and for years experienced the depravity that this life entailed. Most of the problems leading to crime and homelessness were drug related.
Once the narco trade has been brought under government control users should be treated medically and prescribed. It is not hard to understand that this would remove the need for a huge proportion of crime and poverty related issues..ie homelessness and deprivation.
I know this would not be a fix all solution... there never is one.. but i do know that it would transform poverty as we know it.
We got to think big as well as act small.Sep 11 2013: Do you have a job?
Then give your job to a homeless person.
In fact, give your job to all the homeless you know of, encounter or see in your journey downtown,
or just around your neighborhood, down my street or up yours.
Since it is only one job, you can't give it to more than one person and you will soon be homeless yourself.
What's the solution? Well, there are enough jobs for virtually everyone in the world who needs a job, so we
actually can put everyone to work, and/or train those to do these jobs.
What kinds of jobs are they? Well, they are jobs that involve getting our needs met. Our human needs, which are
the same for everyone. So, each of our human needs is a job and each job is a human need. Solved? No. Why?
Because we have fallen for the lie that some jobs are more important than other jobs, thus they have more value and
pay more and those "other jobs", that also really, really need to be done, have literally no value, pay not enough moola to live on, and we successfully separate ourselves from one another. I'm valuable, that person isn't. I'm worth more, they are worth less than me. I deserve more, they deserve less. Interesting, the phrase, idea, "they deserve less."
Well, then give them your job and do the one they would do. The one you don't want to do, but the one that needs to be done that is just as necessary and important as any other job there is.
We cannot continue to parse out value to life, human life, the various species of life on this planet and keep the continuing stratification of human relationships growing and spreading as it is: those with, those without, those who are expendable and those who aren't.
It's pitiful, but then again, we are not civilized beings, nor do we have civilization yet, but we keep believing the lie that we do.
In reality and practice, we don't have, believe in or use any kind of faith at all in goodness, or a better way or love, because we stop working towards it. "Oh, that can never be done!"
Sep 11 2013: Somewhere i read--" All people are selfish, it is just the radius that differs".
Yes no one will give their job job to other and do another job. They or us think that we deserve more because we have worked a lot for this but those homeless beggars never ever got the opportunity to work for their dreams, all they saw is a footpath to sleep,and dreamt of a place called home.But then how to get it?
no great work available for them and those available may not fantasy them.
We may help by creating some opportunities because if wont do ANYTHING it can never be done.Sep 10 2013: Charity might be a good idea but I think it only solve the current urgent problem. What we have to consider is eradications of the fundamental issues. People who beg for money usually live their day with the money they got from the passengers. This situation will not end because it is likely for them to depend on donated money. Finally, they forget their independence in the end. So I think the government should suggest reasonable solutions for this. They have to set some laws for them and find jobs in that beggers do not live their lives as only people wanting others' money.
Sep 11 2013: "do not live their lives as only people wanting others' money."
What excludes you and me exactly? It is the main goal in a monetary system to want another's money! We go to great lengths where marketing is flooding education in a way to obtain someone's money. I personally have more respect for beggars than the people that twist up education in marketing. Don't you? Let's get down to earth.
Sep 11 2013: Whisky Delta:) hello! your words are right. I think so too in some part. But what I wanted to emphasize was the importance of being independent. If beggars form some kind of habits which make them remain in status quo, it would be bad for them in the end. The main goal in a monetary system you mentioned is something thatt no one could deny. Thanks for sharing opinion!!Sep 10 2013: My gosh not all beggars are the same. Thus, the response should vary from beggar to beggar.
Sep 10 2013: But they do the same "job", they have something in common ,my friend.:)
Sep 11 2013: True but there are even professional beggars and those just in need, and..................
Sep 11 2013: Yes, but I dont' think a beggar who is considered professional is really a beggar, a real beggar doesn't want to be a beggar, he just has to struggle on the survival line of his life and asks others' help by begging.Sep 11 2013: Begging is not a "job". There is nothing being exchanged.
Sep 11 2013: Thank you for your discussing.
Some beggars regard it as a job because they needn't pay anything , they just beg for other's mercy and money. So do people who give them money ,they think they do the donation not exchange.But still there're some really poor beggars, that's why I put the quotation mark. :)Sep 12 2013: True that is what gives this discussion nuances.Sep 10 2013: By not giving them money but materials needed to have food, shelter, and clothes. Have them unite, put their minds together, and see how well we can do without m-o-n-e-y. That will truly open doors for the world.Sep 10 2013: I agree with geg dahlen. In Shanghai , we also have some beggars on the streets. In fact, we have shelters and hostels provided by the govenment for them to stay, surprisingly some assistant PSB officers often fail to persuade the beggars to go there because many beggars don't want to change their beggar lives. They can recieve enough money from people and use it to better enjoy themselves in their ways. They don't need people's respect and self-dignity. And there're also some crooks who are gangsters using children or some disabled people to earn money. So I think the best ways to help beggars is to change their mind set and stop giving them money. Instead, we'd better satisfy their basic needs with the physical goods or educations. I once saw a westerner buy a cake for a girl beggar,I thought he's very kind and smart to do it. If you give her money, maybe the ugly bosses behind her would take all the money away.And if unfortunately the girl is a greedy cheater, she can only get the food from other people's kindness.

I remember a long time ago a beggar would stand on a bridge near my friend's home.
One day my friend made a really delicious dinner, and she thought, I'm going to share this with that beggar. He will appreciate a hot plate of food.
She was very shocked when after walking to the bridge with a plate in her hand to give to the beggar, he rejected it, and said he didn't need her food, he wanted money.
I will not tell you what she did then.....but I have never forgotten the story.
I find that each person living on the streets, lives there for a different reason.
You have to know who to help. Not everyone begging is homeless.....at least not around here.
There is also a young man who sits in front of the supermarket almost every day begging for money.
You want to know why? Because he wants to buy sodas and sweets.
Some of us who know his mom, have been warned not to give him money, because he is diabetic, but because of his mental condition, he doesn't see the value of eating healthy. He wanders away from home each day to beg.
It is very sad to walk by him when he asks for money. But it is for his own good.
