Aerosmith headed back on the road
There's good news for Aerosmith fans. The band will be back on tour this summer even without a new album to promote, and they're reportedly making some changes to their set list to freshen up the show.
During a recent appearance on the Pulse of Radio, Aerosmith guitarist Brad Whitford said that the band's upcoming summer shows could contain fewer of the band's big hits than in the past, but with a few treats for longtime fans mixed in.
"We're hoping to extract a few more deep tracks, especially for this summer," said Whitford. "We're kinda eager to pull some stuff out of the hat that we haven't played, or maybe never played &mdash or maybe only played a few times. And we think it's time to do that, and we feel that we need to do it. There's a lot of great songs we don't get out to represent to the crowd and I think that they're ready and we're ready to do that. So, hopefully, we're successful in doing that this year."
The band's 2015 itinerary now includes at least seven summer dates, kicking off June 27 in Oklahoma and ending July 22 in Wyoming. (The most recently announced concerts are scheduled to take place on July 3 in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, and July 19 in Fort McMurray, Canada). Fans can also catch the band's new concert film, "Aerosmith Rocks Donington 2014," which will have a limited engagement in theaters through Feb. 26.
Aerosmith announces tour with Slash (Updated 4/24/14)
Aerosmith fans are gearing up for a hardcore tour from their favorite hard rockers – and one very special guest.
After weeks of speculation the announcement was finally made official, sealing the deal that will let Aerosmith tear up the road with Slash (aka former lead guitarist of Guns N' Roses) later this year. This after Aerosmith's Joe Perry tweeted in late March, "It's official – we just talked, AEROSMITH/SLASH USA tour confirmed!! Tickets on sale next few wks Soon as dates confirmed. LET ROCK RULE !"
Slash followed up that tweet with one of his own that said, "Great news! We'll be touring the US with @Aerosmith this summer. Stay tuned for dates. Its going to be a killer tour!"
The official announcement finally came April 7 as part of a press gathering to promote Aerosmith's world tour, which will begin May 14th in Istanbul, Turkey (Slash and his band the Conspirators will be the supporting acting on the North American leg beginning July 10th in New York).
Aerosmith and Slash have a storied history together. Guns N' Roses opened for Aerosmith on their U.S. tour all the way back in the summer of 1988. It was during that tour that the bands played New Jersey's Giants Stadium, where part of the famed "Paradise City" video was filmed. Four years later, Steven Tyler joined Guns N' Roses onstage during a concert in Paris for "Mama Kin," a song Guns covered on their debut EP, "Live Like a Suicide." And most recently, Slash joined Tyler onstage for a private concert in New York City.
Aerosmith goes Down Under (Updated April 10, 2013)
Raunchy. Flamboyant. Aggressive. These are just some of the adjectives used to describe Aerosmith, kings of hard rock in the mid-Seventies.
Everyone knows Aerosmith's hits catalog, from "Dream On" and "Walk This Way" to "Living on the Edge," "Cryin" and "I Don't Want to Miss A Thing." But it's been the resurgence of the band over the last decade that has definitely raised some eyebrows, with critics and fans alike curious to see if Steven Tyler and Co. can recapture the magic experienced by the band at the very height of their popularity.
Indeed, Aerosmith had a wicked kickoff to the turn of the century by playing the Super Bowl halftime show and releasing scores of new projects tagged with the band's name (including live album/DVDs and a greatest hits collection). But they hit a speed bump following a world tour in 2009, with work on a new studio album consistently delayed. Tyler suffered a leg injury after falling off a stage that August, starting a string of incidents for the band that would eventually lead to members pursuing solo work instead of focusing on the band.
It was amidst a series of concerts in 2010 that Tyler announced he would be a new judge on FOX's "American Idol." It was a short-lived gig, but helped to further raise the band's profile in time for the release of the album "Music from Another Dimension!" on November 6, 2012. Two days later, the band began the 2nd leg of their Global Warming Tour that extended into 2013.
The legendary rockers are slated to play shows in Dunedin, New Zealand and Sydney, Brisband and Melbourne, Australia in April and May. It marks their first visit to the 'Land Down Under' in 24 years.

ETSU Softball Comes Up Short At SoCon Tournament
Sunday, May 05, 2002Chattanooga, Tenn. (May 5, 2001) -- East Tennessee State made a valiant comeback, scoring four runs in the bottom of the seventh, but fell just short as Furman defeated the Bucs 7-6 in game 12 of the Southern Conference Softball Championships from Frost Stadium in Chattanooga, Tenn. The loss gives the Bucs a 2-2 record in the tournament, eliminating ETSU from competition. Furman (23-23) held a 7-2 lead in the sixth inning, but ETSU (25-32) rallied for four runs in the bottom of the seventh. The Bucs had runners at first and third with no outs, but could not push across the tying run. Furman pitcher Rachel Henley (13-11) started and picked up the win, but she had relief in the fifth. Henley came back into the game with ETSU runners at the corners and the game hanging in the balance. Henley struck out the first two batters and coaxed an infield grounder to end the game. The Paladins rapped out 13 hits with LaKerah Barr picking up three. Jessica Matthews, Morrison and Meagen Johnson had two each. Matthews and Johnson both drove in a pair of runs. ETSU senior designated player Melanie Collins (Greeneville, Tenn.) delivered a two-run single in the seventh and sophomore first baseman Miranda Byerly followed with another two-run single. Byerly was 2-for-4 and freshman shortstop Mary Beth Hazlewood (Knoxville, Tenn.) also picked up a pair of hits. Furman scored two in the first inning on an RBI single from Matthews and a sacrifice fly from Morrison. In the third, Morrison's double drove in a run and Johnson's single chased in a run. ETSU answered with single runs in the third and fifth. Sophomore pitcher Tiffany Vndergriff (Sale Creek, Tenn.) stroked an RBI double in the third and senior second baseman April Arnold (Mountin City, Tenn.) delivered an RBI double in the fifth. Furman came back in the sixth with three runs when Matthew's single chased in a run and Morrison's single drove in a pair. Vandergriff (8-10) took the loss for East Tennessee State after pitching three innings and allowing four runs on six hits.

Bar stools
Love them! I can use them at a high bar, at the kitchen table (which is a little lower) or at the dining room table. Very versatile.Read More
I bought these from Overstock before I had seen them anywhere. They are heavy, sturdily built and perfect sitting next to myFrench Country island. Now, I see them, everywhere, not the quality of mine, but I did like having something different. Kids love them because the seat spins around to adjust the height. These are by far the nicest stools of this style I have seen.Read More
Great bar stool
Fantastic for the price. Very heavy and well constructed.Read More
I ordered two of these bar stools. They arrived in about a week, arrived in perfect condition with no assembly required. They are very study and high quality. Look just like the photo. I highly recommend these!Read More
Very high quality for the price!Read More
As expected
I purchased 2 of these stools. The welds are solid. The only issue is the black metal banding around the wood seat is not flush, so there is a gap around the wood in some areas. I do not mind this, as the piece is supposed to be rustic and casual. Also, the wood seat is not sanded smooth, but again, the piece is rustic. It's not enough to give splinters. The stool also needed some oiling to avoid a hideous squeek when rotated. For me, none of these issues were a problem and I love the stools. They look great and have a nice balance of being large enough to have a 'presence,' but small enough so as not to overwhelm a space. They were also a FABULOUSLY cost effective option. You just can not compare the price range of these to similar items from more elite sites. When I purchased, they were sold out, so I put my name on the wait list. I received an email letting me know they were in stock again. I purchased them at 10:00 a.m. and by 4:00 p.m. they were sold out again!Read More
Decent reproduction of the real thing
These stools - we got two - are decent and will do the job (and fit the aesthetic) in our kitchen. They're are sturdy. The seat width is extra wide, which won't leave your behind, behind. The adjuster-mechanism works and looks cool (quell the squeaks with oil). We decided to finish the seats with some tung oil we had, definitely warms up the grain of the wood (and hopefully will help condition the cracks on their undersides). The wood grade is definitely a "budget" grade - it's mixed-grain with visible knots and one seat is denser than the other. Had we had the budget, we would have gone with the real thing (handmade in the USA). These stools are a good substitute though.Read More
Sturdy & affordable substitute for vintage stools
I have been looking for bar stools for over a year, now. I had fallen in love with a reproduction style similar to these stools by another company and also have been watching the actual vintage items on an online auction site. The price on these stools is what drew my attention; easily 1/3 the price of anything else I have looked at. The stools shipped for free, and arrived at my doorstep 8 days after ordering them, exactly as promised (and in the middle of Christmas). I am overall pleased with the quality of these stools, they are quite heavy. The seats screw up and down to adjust the height and provide swivel. They are counter height when screwed all the way down, would accomodate bar height adjusted up. The site says that there is a laquer finish; this must be on the iron base (which looks to be a black distressed finish over a lighter base) . The unfinished wooden seats are heavily grooved but not splinter-y, and there is a small gap between the iron band around the seat and the seat itself (this may be a pain to clean after some time, but otherwise doesn't bother me aesthetically). I removed the seats and stained/polyurehaned them so they would stand up to dalily use and cleaning, and while the seats were off two of them split partways through. I see now in other reviews that seat-splitting happened to others and they exchanged them, but I didn't report the problem to Overstock. The quality of the seat is the major reason I am rating them 4 instead of 5 stars. My kids and several of their friends have commented on how comfortable the stools are--although this might be more of a comparison to the fold up, plastic things we have been eeking by with for the duration of my stool search. :) All-in-all these stools provide just the industrial/antique look that I was wanting to find, without the fussiness of an antique item--just right for family living.Read More
Love the stools!!
Very attractive barstool and great quality. There was a defect with one stool that I ordered and the company easily and promptly sent me a new one to replace it.Read More
sturdy, substantial, adjustable barstool
I ordered these stools because I saw a similar item in a pricey publication. I saved $259 on each stool and the quality is excellent. They arrived completely assembled and are a very sturdy stool. I am very pleased. They are exactly what I wanted.Read More

Hello LB, we can appreciate the fact you want a firsthand account of the product. You will receive an email notification every time you get a response. Thank you for shopping with us.
If the stool is adjusted to be at 31" in height, how may inches between the seat and foot rest?
Hello jennwestcoast, thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, the information you have requested is currently unavailable. You will receive an email notification once an answer is posted. Have a great day.
Can these stools be used for an outside bar.
Hello Raskincare, the Christopher Knight Home Adjustable Natural Fir Wood Finish Barstool could be used outside at the bar, in our opinion. Just make sure that any liquid is cleaned off and they are put inside, when the party is over. Have a great day.
What is the full height available? I have a 4 foot high bar
Hello patrice, this seat is adjustable from approximately 26.4 inches to 32.9 inches in height. Thanks for shopping with us!
Are these appropriate for commercial use in a restaurant/bar?
Hello sdf1295, I hope your day is going well. These are for home use only. Thank you for shopping with us.
If I were to order six of these could I get a lower price point?
Hello HangingOn, I'm sorry we do not do not have that option. Have a great day!
Why did you choose this product?
The stool is for my kitchen island which is shorter than normal but we need adjustable stools. If this works I will be ordering more.
I like the style and it had good reviews.
love the look for our home.
I like it!
Why not?
They look great and the price is right.
Style and sale price
This is exactly what we were hoping to put at our kitchen island. We love the look and they seem durable. It also helps that they have great reviews :)
The industrial/rustic look and the adjustable height! We'll see how they are :)
Was looking for a comfortable stool that could be adjusted to accommodate teachers of different heights for a home study program.
It has 4 legs as opposed to a single base type and it is adjustable which I need.
the style
I like the style and the fact that the height can adjust to the counter etc.
Good reviews and I like the industrial wood look of these barstools!
Bought in the past. We like the quality, look and sturdiness.
i ordered 1 in advance to make sure the quality is decent & it was good - so I am ordering the rest that I need
Liked the look, then the price was great compared to other stores with the same look. When product arrives hopefully the quality will be just as good.
already have 2
My daughter purchased these & I like how sturdy they are and that they adjust.I needed 4 new bar stools
What is the height range of the seat?
Hello Sneeneelou, the seat height adjusts from 26.4 inches to 32.9 inches. Thanks for shopping with us!
What is the maximum weight these stools will hold?
Hello timeorders, unfortunately, we have not weight tested this product. However, similar stools are holding approximately 250 pounds. Please let us know if you have additional questions. Thank you for shopping with us. Rochelle B
How much does each stool weigh?
10 - 15lbs?
Hello pianorick! Thanks for your interest in this modern style barstool. The approximate shipping weight is 20 lbs. Thanks for shopping with us! -Amanda P
No sure how much, but they are good and sturdy
I'm confused about the color of the stool. Most of the photos appear to be a true gray/metal color, but one of them is black.
gray/metal - not black
Rustic, gray metal on ours. Look like something from restoration hardware.
Black painted over gray metal on all three of mine
Mine are gunmetal gray
Are these suitable for outdoors in coastal S Cal?
I would think so... Not sure what the weather is there though. The top is wood. Maybe if you sealed it?
Yes, but put a clear coat of varnish on the seat. It's not finished.
Do the feet have rubber or something that covers the metal I'm asking because they will be used on wood floors Thank you
YES! I have pergo flooring. While extremely durable, I place floor protectors on feet of the stools. At the very least, it decreases the sound of the stool scraping the floor.
They do not come with rubber feet, however, you could easily add self-sticking felt to the feet which would work fine.
what is the distance from the floor to the foot rest? If the seat is fully extended to 32.9", what is the distance between the foot rest and the seat? a similar questions was asked prior, but one resonse said the foot rest is 8" off the ground, and the other said 12". Please clarify.
Hello jennwestcoast, The footrest is 8 inches from the floor. If fully extended, the distance between the foot rest and the seat is 25.9. Thank you for shopping with us.
Hi, I am slightly confused. One answer states that the seat adjusts by spinning around and cannot be locked. The second answer says the seat can swivel when locked. The view of the seat looks as if it cannot lock. Can you please tell me if the seat locks?
Hello berathbun, The seat does not lock that I could find. You adjust the height by turning the seat. Once you get to the adjusted height, you can swivel back and forth. We hope this helps and thank you for shopping with us.
It does not lock, but the chairs are awesome
Doesn't lock but great quality! Love these barstools!
Doesn't lock but can be tightened down so my kids can't budge them =) These are awesome!
Do these squeak like the Tin Man as he's being freed from his rusted imprisonment?
Hello bhj4ctj, We far as we know it does not. We found only one review in 179 that mentioned the stools squeaks. It they do, a little WD-40 should take care of it. Thank you for shopping with us.
Mine squeak a little when you spin them but nothing a little WB40 can't fix =)
I purchased 3 about a year ago, no squeaking. I love them
No tin man noises. May I suggest using some Blaster on them (not WD40)
We are building, so we won't be in our house for about 5months. I wanted to purchase these now, but noticed there is only a 90 day warranty. If I buy them now and open them in 5 months and there is a problem, will overstock help?
Hello jlburnsey95, this link will take you to the details of our return policy. https://help.overstock.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1 Overstock stands behind all of its products. Thank you for shopping with us.
How do you lock the stool height in place?
You don't lock it. Height adjusts by spinning. Will stay at height unless you spin like any kid that gets a chance.
You don't
What is the height of the foot rest from ground and how far does the foot rest extend from the frame (legs)?
Thank you for your interest in the Christopher Knight Home Adjustable Natural Fir Wood Finish Barstool. The approximate height of the foot bar from the ground is 12 inches. As far as the foot rest it does not move but is rather stationary and welded together but the seat adjusts or moves up and down 26.4 inches to 32.9 inches. that is about 7 inches. We hope this helps the decision making about this stool. have a great day.
M foot rest is 8" (exactly) from floor. Ring that makes the foot rest is 18" in diameter. If the seat is all the way, you will need long legs to rest feet comfortably on the bar.

Sunday, March 10, 2002Spartanburg, S.C. (Mar. 10, 2002) - Wofford's Tony Carbone was 4-of-4 with three RBI to finish the weekend 9-of-10 at the plate as Wofford posted its first-ever three-game sweep of a Southern Conference series with a 12-4 victory over East Tennessee State this afternoon at Duncan Park in Spartanburg, S.C. The Terriers, in their fifth season of SoCon play, improve to 3-0 in the league and 13-6 overall. Leading 2-1 in the top of the fourth, ETSU (5-8, 0-3) increased its margin to 4-1 on a two-run double by Matt Traylor, who had three hits and three RBI on the day. However, the Terriers answered with four runs in the bottom of the inning to take a 5-4 lead. Steve Casey's two-run single up the middle gave the Terriers the lead for good. Casey totaled two hits and three RBI in the game. Chris Cotugno had a pair of run-scoring singles in the sixth inning as the Terriers batted around and broke the game open with seven runs. Wofford had five consecutive hits at one point, including a two-run Carbone single. Matt Lein had four hits while Blake Timanus added three to help key a 19-hit Wofford attack. Strat Stavrou also had two hits for the Terriers, giving him 183 in his career as he closes in on the Wofford career base hit record of 193 (Clay Griffin, 1985-88). Chad McGill (2-0) allowed four runs on seven hits in six innings to pick up the victory. He struck out three and walked three. Trevor Smith (1-1) took the loss for the Buccaneers, allowing five runs on nine hits while walking three and not striking out a batter in 3.1 innings. Wofford hosts Purdue tomorrow at 7 p.m. while East Tennessee State returns to action Tuesday with a 3 p.m. home game versus Tennessee Tech.

Loyola's graduate programs in literacy education emphasize a strong foundation in reading and the development of leadership skills. In this program, you will prepare not only to meet the needs of struggling readers, but also to assume leadership positions within your school. The programs emphasize a strong theoretical understanding of the reading process as well as practical application with K-12 students.
Coursework employs research-based practices that directly address the literacy needs of struggling students in the 21st century. Throughout the program, courses are supported by hands-on experience. You will participate in a culminating summer practicum where you will work intensely with individual students and their parents. You will conduct full diagnostic assessments, prepare individualized instructional programs, work with students based on the individual programs, evaluate the effects of the instruction, and write complete case studies for each student.
Loyola's graduate programs in reading prepare you to assess, diagnose, and instruct K-12 students as well as provide leadership to other school professionals and parents. The program consists of a comprehensive 39-credit course of study that has been approved by the Maryland State Department of Education and satisfies academic requirements for reading specialist certification.
This 39-credit program is designed for the certified teacher who wishes to be certified by the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) as a Reading Specialist. (NOTE: The MSDE requires three years of classroom experience to be certified as a reading specialist.) In order to receive the MSDE certification in Reading Specialist, you must first be certified in another area by MSDE. If you are not currently certified in Maryland, you will need to show certification from another state and demonstrate that you will receive certification in Maryland no later than six months after entering the program.
Loyola's graduate programs in education offer students numerous program offerings to suit the varying needs of full-time working professionals as well as individuals who want to pursue their degree on the fastest track possible. The literacy education program may be taken full-time (to be completed in 18-24 months) or part-time (to be completed in 2-5 years).
Those who pursue full-time enrollment options are expected to dedicate their time to the fast-paced schedules of a demanding and rigorous courseload. Part-time options offer a self-paced opportunity to complete requirements over a longer period of time with courses delivered at times of the day that are convenient to full-time work schedules.
The Scholars Program is part of the Reading Master's Program at Loyola. The Scholars Program offers thorough literacy assessment and instructional services for students in grades 1-12. It also provides guidance for parents to support their children's literacy development at home. Reading specialist candidates meet with individual students for 20 sessions either during a concentrated summer session of approximately five weeks or on Saturdays during the school year from October to May.
The Scholars Program serves as professional preparation for candidates who are completing their M.Ed. as a reading specialist. Reading specialist candidates are certified teachers who work under the supervision of the Loyola Reading Faculty. The reading specialist master's program is nationally recognized by the International Reading Association.
The Scholars Program serves families in the greater Baltimore area. All students in grades 1-12 may apply although priority may be given to struggling students or those considered at risk. Some scholarships are available. For information, please contact Dana Reinhardt at 410-617-1252 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

What is the best way to prevent rape in war zones?
Rape in war zones is an issue of utmost urgency and needs to be stopped.
The purpose of this debate is to find solutions to a problem with very real and horrific consequences. All are welcome to participate and contribute, all I ask is for everyone to please be thoughtful and considerate with their contributions. I look forward to seeing what solutions the TED community can come forth with. Thank you.
Apr 22 2013: Let's start from first principle. The best way to prevent rapes in war zones is to prevent wars.
edward long
Apr 22 2013: Reality check: The best way to prevent housefires is to prevent fire. Floods/Water. Car crashes/Cars. Drug abuse/Drugs. Obesity/Food. etc. etc. War is part of the Human drama. Sorry.
- +1
Apr 22 2013: so is rape. we should work on getting these things out of the "human drama".
Apr 22 2013: A noble venture but you are bucking both human nature and all of recorded history. I give you 7 billion-to-one odds against success.Apr 22 2013: I believe conflict is part of the "Human drama." IMHO, war, like famine, is political.
Apr 22 2013: War is just crowd-sourced conflict. When wars were fought on battlefields, away from the women, there were no rapes.Apr 22 2013: "The best way to prevent rapes in war zones is to prevent wars."
That's what I'm thinking too Pabitra.
Scott Bell mentioned something similar:
Question: What is the Best Way to Prevent Violence?"
Isn't it the warzone that creates the environment of instability that allows for the rape to happen? If you stop stop the warzones, then in theory, I would think one would be able to prevent a large percentage of the rapes.
Apr 23 2013: I think your question is not really about rape at this point so I won't deliberate on that issue save and except:
Rape has nothing to do with sex and procreation. It's all about violence (you are right) and violation of human dignity. I believe both male and female can be victim of rape, though in case of females it has additional consequences.
Violence is integral to systemic view of life. I'd like to be more practical and take social violence like wars, rapes, terrorism etc. as the talking point. No amount of regulation, laws, statutes can prevent such violence. The only way is to gravitate to a higher plane of enlightenment by the societies to realize that such violence cannot achieve anything worthwhile.
Sometimes, I imagine that violence has just become unfashionable.Apr 29 2013: In a situation where you have put men (and women) with the order to kill, and the reality that they will be killed. This is an environment where fear and hate and what is being called Moral Injuries flourish.I think you must work to stop war, End the use of violence to convert others to your ideas.
May 10 2013: Do you think part of the solution for ending violence starts here?

Molli Tey
Apr 29 2013: I think your questions can be a little more broad as it's not just about the war zone..it's everywhere. I hear 5 year old girl being gangraped in India, a 23 year old girl got on to the city bus and was raped worst than an animal act. The latter had an iron rod inserted in her vagina...Let me reiterate it was not in the war zone. The place is Delhi capital of India. I hear the trials are still pending despite pressure from the activists, media, students and everyone alike.
- +1
In my opinion a very sensitive approach by both the governments, police, army and the likes should be adopted. Trial and execution of the case should be within 15 days and sever punishment for adults and juveniles must be announced and executed. Along side it shoudl be publicised in the tabloids to avoid future acts of rapes happening.
May 10 2013: Molli,
"I think your questions can be a little more broad as it's not just about the war zone..it's everywhere." You're right. This debate needs to be much broader beyond the scope of addressing the issue of "rape within war zones". Rape doesn't just need to be stopped in war zones, it needs to be stopped domestically all over the world.
Those cases in India you mentioned, I can't even begin to imagine the kind of anger and frustration women in India and other places with similar predicaments are going through. Knowing the kind of corruption that runs rampant through virtually all levels of government in India, there is little hope that the government or local authorities will take action.
shawn disney
Apr 23 2013: That's a simple one. Stop the wars, and you will cut down on the rapes, if not eliminate them. And ending the wars is not easy, but it is certainly simple. It will happen almost automatically when it is a common idea that 1.) murder should illegal in ALL cases, (except for actual, jury certified self defense). 2.) War is murder. 3.) Presidents , etc. should be held responsible for what their "troops" do, just as a Mayor is responsible for what his Police do. Of course, we would have to get used to the idea of having an administration, courts, police , etc. to handle the procedures, which should be based on Legal principles. Up to now, people seem to thinki that murder is OK, as long as the Chief says so. That is the measjure of our remaing Barbarism.

Apr 21 2013: Kate,
Thank you for joining in and I hope more people decide to participate, whether its to share their thoughts, provide solutions, or just to observe. The more people share, the better.
As for "all sides do it but there is absolutely NO excuse", I agree completely.Apr 23 2013: I am a Korea War, vet, rather lucky in avoiding most of the trauma, just by chance. I laughed at the idea that I could possible experience Combat Fatigue, or PTSD. Lately , on account of the revelaton that many of our vets are committing suicide every day, I came across some research which ought to be inducing some radical re-thinking. Going back to WW1 "Shell Shock" was of course a big interest in the military, if only defensively. But what to make of the revelation , in a British 1918 study, that only 20% of the men "out of commission" on account of S.S. had actually even BEEN in combat. But they were incapacitated just the same. And remember, in those days, we didn't have the kind of sympathetic treatment of "Slackers" that would be normal now. ( A good account of this is in the novel "The Good Soldier Schweik")
Along with all this, I have come to believe that our whole society , from top to bottom , is showing definite sighs of PTSD. Neurotically over reacting to shadows, failing to act where it is clearly called for, various inexplicable "incidents" , like the bombing, or the school shootings,, our President bragging about torturing people (something not even the Nazis publicly admitted) A very long list of strange happenings which are consistent with ongoing, relentless over -stresses. In short, it is a Group Neurosis, like a Mass Panic. People vary in their abillity to resist this; not all soldiers get "Combat Fatigue". There is a very good sociological study on such stress, called "Future Shock" about how even changes for the BETTER are stressful, not to mention the run of the mill ones such as getting divorced, or losing your job.
One such example of "change for the better " induced stress might be the apparently uncontrollable climate of rapes within all modern female "integrated" military services. It may welll be that all the "improvements" of the last couple of generations is more than our society can stand right now.

Apr 23 2013: Thanks for the kind words Kate. It does seem that "stresses" are additive.. One of the interesting points in the book "Future Shock" was a discussion of what the individual can do to mitigate some of this, at least personally.
- +1
As to whether some men are intimidated by competent women, that is no doubt true, but for everyone like that I would suppose, at least the men trained up by Evolution, a lot more stress would come from the dim recognition that if things got difficult , they would be expected to rescue the women, and feel bad if they couldn't. More stress. All mostly un conscious, no doubt. It's a situational thing, not anyone's fault.May 20 2013: As far as soldiers committing rape, the answer is actually very simple. In NATO countries, a very high standard of military discipline is maintained. Good order and discipline, honor, and action with integrity are highly valued. Rape is an unthinkable crime for a well trained, well disciplined soldier.
As far as irregulars or the loose-knit militias and gangs that cause problems so many places, the solution is more complex. It does no good to increase the penalty for rape, when there is no foundation of social justice to begin with. Rape is one way that terrorists dominate and control subjected populations. And that is often a planned, and systematic approach by terrorist and/or terrorist-revolutionary organizations who want to destroy the will of a conquered population.
The only way to fight back when things get that bad is with disciplined military intervention. You start with martial law and curfews. Then you start the process of policing the streets. First soldiers, then local policemen come to the fore. Criminals, once caught, are first tried in military tribunals. Later, those tribunals are replaced by local authorities. People will organize their own lives in a positive and successful way if given the chance. You just have to get rid of the criminals who own their own armies and use them in the name of power and terror.Apr 26 2013: Inflict higher punishment on the rapist. It doesn't matter if you're serving in the military or not. You rape someone in a war zone, you're no longer human and you do not value the well being of others; particularly women. Punishment should be death by hanging or imprisonment for life.
There is no sugar coating when it comes to offenses like that. You can't unrape somebody, and it causes a lot of psychological trauma to the victim. Animals should be dealt with like animals. We're in 2013, there is no excuse for anyone to reach down to such a primitive state of thinking. When you repeatedly remove other human beings from existence, it gets to you and you can no longer go back to a peaceful mind state.Apr 23 2013: I was unaware i was making said excuses. I dont believe i did. I was just giving a thought, a reason or explanation, a possible realization of the subject, not making excuses. Im not "down playing" rape at all (well that is not my intentions) im not trying to make it seem like it should be more tolerable, i am just wondering if maybe we need to look at it in different ways and attack the issue with different methods. I agree there is no excuse for rape, however there may be a better understanding of it and in turn a better way to stop it from happening. I disagree that rape is only about power and control. Yes there are many cases where these two factors have played a major role, yet it is not only about those two things. Drug addicts who fully know that the drug is illegal, completely understand and realize the drug is killing them and ruinning their life still turn around and sell their soul for another hit. Although we dont fully understand it to any measure we do know/have the idea that addiction is a neurological disorder, people with bad cases literally cannot control themselves and may need emense support, help and care, along with therapy and even certain (medical) drugs to be able to live day to day. Now im not saying any rapist is neurologically addicted to it, im just highlighting the possibility that rape may be something complex we do not yet fully understand, know how to diagnose, treate and deal with. Just as with addicts will power and consequences sometimes do not always prevent them from feeding their addiction. Before it was just tough love, suck it up and just say no, refuse it, be strong. We have advanced and grown to know that this really is a brain disorder of some sort. Now i dont know what is true at the moment, we just dont know yet. All in all however i am fully for any act or change that reduces the rates of rape. We always must do our best with what we have, that includes doing our best to not be badApr 22 2013: What if there is none? As much as we want to say will power, discipline, and laws can change this, what if they cant? Rape is a difficult subject, it isnt something you can talk about with certainty. You can talk about rocks, test them, know what minerals make it up and when it formed, all of these certain facts, where as rape is almost like an addiction. (some people are addicted to sex, or i suppose could be addicted to rape) We dont know enough about the brain, the way it works and its inner cogs and wheels to be able to figure things out like addiction. Rape has gone on since the beginning of man, specially in war times. Where did rape even come from? As we evolved sex was primarily for reproduction, now we dont see it as just that, its recreation, fun, almost a high to us.We need to understand these inner brain workings of what causes rape. Im not saying that every human has it hard wired in their brain to rape people but no matter what if you have a population of 1000, a few may be mentally challenged, some may have physicaly deformations, and who knows there could be a few that no matter what theres something in them, a loose wire or something that causes them to rape. (wether they get a high from it, need to feel the domination, or are just to weak willed to not do it given the opportunity. Also as far as increasin the penalties of such crimes im not sure that will work.(i mean it will to an extent, but only to an extent) If rape is something we cant figure out in our brain then regardless of the penalty someone somehwhere still may do it, same as us having strict penalties on drugs, yet that does not detour people from using them illegally. So i dont know, im not sure at this point we are advanced in our knowledge of our own brain to tackle such a problem, but i do agree with others on their ideas to at least slow down this staggering trend.

Apr 23 2013: Seems i wrote my reply in the comment box =x my badApr 23 2013: Kate Blake,
Thanks of posting that link!May 8 2013: Hey Kate,
Tony Porter is absolutely right. It doesn't matter how many band-aid solutions people come up with, or how harsh someone makes the punishment for any kind of violence against women. If men and boys continue to view women and girls as not equal, then disrespect, mistreatment of, and violence against women will persist.
But it's more than that which will continue to be an issue. As Tony alluded to at the end of his talk, equality for EVERYONE is at stake. Liberation of women and girls will help liberate men and boys. And no matter how you look at it, we're all in this together. Either we all succeed, or we all fail.
So to me, changing the mentality of men and boys about women and girls is critical for stopping violence against women and for achieving gender equality.May 10 2013: I am going to add a link to Shabana Basij-Rasihkh's talk because to me it compliments Tony Porter's talk.
http://www.ted.com/talks/shabana_basij_rasikh_dare_to_educate_afghan_girls.htmlMay 14 2013: I would also like to add this because I believe it is an important factor in why I agree with Tony Porter. It has to do with being raised in a family with strong women (my mother and grand mothers). And, the men within the family (my father and grand fathers) have valued women that are strong.May 15 2013: Just found this article in the Japan Times. Shameful and disgusting.
And I am going to add the follow up from an Okinawa women's group. Go women!
http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2013/05/16/national/okinawa-womens-groups-condemn-hashimoto-justification-of-sex-slaves/#.UZWwJ8pOn8tApr 21 2013: Casey, I am retired military and also a veteran of wars. There is no simple answer. I have seen action from both men and women in uniform and civilians which lead to undesirable ends. We could blame the abuse of alcohol, the lack of disclipine, women in a male dominated environment, poor leadership, and the examples of superiors. If it was OK for my commander in chief then why not me ... the Clinton syndrom. The chief of the CIA and a four star can get away with it why not me .... look at the Kennedys ... and the list goes on. Rank and wealth have priviladges the rest do not. Congress has declared themselves elete ... the administration is elete. When the laws are enforced at all levels with the same strength and vigor much of this will stop. Then again there is always some idiot that thinks he knows better and does what is wrong anyway. From the highest in the land to the lowest in the land all laws should be administered equally. If I can be tried for a offense then a person holding a public trust should receive the same or even a more harsh penality. Perhaps a additional penality for the violation of the public trust. Elected officials work for us and should not be exempt or profit from their elected position. When the administration and Congress opted out of Obama care themselves they told us it was a rotten deal and good enough for the peons but certainly not good enough for the elete.
Casey I am afraid that rape and crime will always occur ... but a common law and penality for ALL would reduce it.
If the citizens would demand that ALL laws apply to ALL from the top down it would be a giant step in the prevention of many crimes including crimes against women. Further that pay and priviladge only applies when in office ... no longer
... apply term limits and do away with extreme retirements and benefits as well.
In short start from the top and work out the problems all the way down.
I wish you well. Bob.Apr 21 2013: What is a "warzone"? Are Boston and Manhattan warzones? The methods of terrorism have replaced chivalry with cowardice. Gutless psycho zealots prowl our cities waiting for orders to wreak havoc on non-combatant women, children, disabled, and elderly citizens. We are too liberal to profile immigrants as a way to keep these vermin off our soil so we have to live with the new definition of what constitutes a warzone. Any business center, any federal building, any aircraft, and sporting event is the new warzone. As Mr. Bell mentions below, war is violence and rape is a subset of violence. If we cannot restore the ways of war where females were isolated from combat zones then we will not solve this problem. Sad but true.Apr 21 2013: Some great responses so far! I can't wait to hear what others have to say!Apr 21 2013: There is a very simple answer :
Don't make soldier go into battle wearing another uniform with a new "social identity" (otherwise known as : "De-individuation of self".)
Or make a code of honor, between warriors.
I mean if you got rid of these 4 psychological mechanisms, rape would decrease (along with possibly encouraging it with economic incentives!) :
- The obedience to authority. (Commander says it's "okay".)
- The group polarization. (I don't want to be left out!)
- The dehumanization of the enemy. (The enemy are just slugs to be crushed)
- The diffusion of personal responsibility of the soldier. (group 'gang' mentality!)
And reduce the "Conflicts of Interest" in the act of rape. Create social norms which make it undesirable to rape the enemy. Also be cautious of " Will Power Depletion", and that soldiers may have "urges". (Sound odd doesn't it?) :P
I mean these two TED talks may give you some reasons as how to prevent violence :
• Philip Zimbardo: The psychology of evil :
• Steven Pinker: The surprising decline in violence :
They should probably answer your question. (Most of the points above, I got from these two TED talks, and their books!)Apr 21 2013: Saltpeter in the coffee

|Vermont Travel Ideas on Waymark . com
I've been poking around the Waymarking.com website from time to time and enjoying what I have found. There are more than 1700 entries on 70 pages in the Waymarking Vermont category.
I'm not sure what order everything is presented in. The Vermont listings start with covered bridges for no apparent reason so I suspect all the entries are posted in order that they are received. There is a good search function on the site so it should be easy for you to narrow your search.
"Secret Waterfalls"
The screen shot above shows a listing for "local secret" the Old City Falls waterfalls that sounds very inviting and larger than most of the falls in Vermont (first step of 25 feet and a second step of 20 feet). It is located near Stafford VT.
We have what I would guess are a million waterfalls here but most of them are not large. I suppose most of them are a "secret " to folks from out of state but all are certainly well known to locals. Quite often they are part of popular local swimming holes too. Ask around wherever you are and most Vermont locals will be happy to share the information and give you directions.
If you don't want your children (or yourself for that matter) to see some of the locals swimming "in the buff," just ask what the usual practice is too. Most of the time, everyone will have on swimming gear but occasionally you will find a swimming hole, often a more remote one, where there is a greater chance to see people in their birthday suits. Don't get excited about this prospect. If you have not experienced it, you will quickly learn that the vast majority of people look a lot better with their clothes on.

California Split
Drama, Comedy
The most narratively loose of Robert Altman's '70s films, California Split details the haphazard lives of two compulsive gamblers searching for that ever-elusive big score. Newly single and soon-to-be-unemployed Bill (George Segal) joins live-wire pal Charlie (Elliott Gould), as the pair moves from Fruit Loops with Charlie's hooker roommates Sue (Gwen Welles) and Barbara (Ann Prentiss) to bets on horses, backroom card games, boxing, and basketball. They make it to Reno, but Bill comes to realize that even the big score may not be the answer to the meaning (or meaninglessness) of life. For Charlie, however, that's all there is.~ Lucia Bozzola, All Movie Guide

In addition to the academic portion of the application, we look closely at your essay, recommendations and resume of co-curricular activities. These pieces tell your unique story beyond your academic achievements and paint the picture of who you are as a person and what you can bring to the community of Providence College. Think carefully about what you want to share about yourself and who you feel could write the best recommendation for you. We urge you to take advantage of the opportunities within the application to detail all of your involvements and accomplishments.

I'm needing some aluminum welding practice, and I thought that making
a step stool would be a "nice to have around the shop" project.
Yeah, I know that I could just buy one.... but i've got many pieces of
3/8" thick plate, and at least one TIG welder around here.
Does anyone have an example of one, which they made, that they'd be
willing to share?

How about making a box that's 1x1.5x2 ? Maybe cut hand hold ovals in the center of the sides.
Stand it on whatever side for the required height.
We had a few boxes made like this out of plywood in a shop I used to work at.
Do you think Aluminum would slip on the grit on the floor?

You could do a Google search for "step stool plans". You will find many wooden step stools of all kinds to build. All you will have to do is translate the plans into thinner aluminum stock. The proportions and part shapes will remain the same.

"……and the stockings were hung by the chimney with care……"
Christmas stockings hanging from a decorated mantel look festive; they make wonderful holiday decorations, especially when hung from a joyful mantelpiece. However, if you plan to load them with trinkets, you may find yourself facing the dilemma of how to hang the stockings so they don't fall to the floor from all that weigh. At the same time, you want your mantel to stay comparatively unmarked by heavy hooks or considerable hangers.
Sometimes you just can't, or don't want to hammer any nails into your mantle. How in the world are the stockings going to be hung? What if you used just two stocking holders and suspended a standard curtain rod from them? It doesn't get much easier than that!
Keep a look out for two heavy stocking holders that have a hook or loop large enough to slip a thin curtain rod through. Two should be enough, but use more if you need extra support. Now you can just keep adding stockings as your family grows without having to purchase more hangers.
If you have a rustic mantle, such as a distressed timber, a thin rod from Kirsch Drapery Hardware Buckingham Wooden Poles suspended from a few stocking holders should do the trick. Tie the stockings to the rod with ribbon staggering the length of ribbon to vary the heights of the stockings.
Another idea for hanging your stockings if you waited too long and now can't find stocking holders is to purchase one package of those removable hooks and a cafe style curtain rod that is about the same length as your mantel. Hang three hooks from the underside of the mantle, one on each side and the third one in the middle. Hang your curtain rod from the hooks and slide your stockings over the rod.
No mantle, no problem. Try one of these ideas: hang stockings off of a curtain rod at the window. You can hang them high, or even suspend them to the middle of the window. Wreathes aren't the only things you can hang from a door. Hang a stocking from tension rod between the door jambs? Add some lights and a bit of garland for an even more festive look.
