Completed Determination Record--Continuing Disability Determinations, Social Security Administration, Office of Disability Determinations
Effective Date: January 11, 2006
System name:
Completed Determination Record--Continuing Disability Determinations, Social Security Administration, Office of Disability Determinations.
Security classification:
System Location:
Social Security Administration
Office of Systems
Categories of individuals covered by the system:
This file contains a record on allowed disability claimants on which a continuing disability issue has occurred and a decision of continuance or cessation has been approved. This file also covers Title II and Title XVI disability beneficiaries who have been selected to receive a Ticket-to-Work as part of the Ticket-to-Work and Self-Sufficiency Program.
Categories of records in the system:
Name and Social Security number (SSN) of the individual and other data such as date of birth, district office and State agency code, date disability began, type of claim, reason for reopening, continuance or cessation code, date of termination (if applicable), date of completion, etc. In addition, data related to the Ticket-to-Work program, such as Ticket eligibility, receipt, assignment and use, alleged and verified earnings and suspension of continuing disability determinations.
Authority for maintenance of the system:
Sections 221 and 1148 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 421 and 1320b-19).
This system is used by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to (1) record the result of continuing disability investigations, and (2) record information related to the administration of the Ticket-to-Work and Self-Sufficiency Program.
Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including categories of users and the purposes of such uses:
Disclosure may be made for routine uses as indicated below. However, disclosure of any information defined as ``return or return information'' under 26 U.S.C. 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code will not be disclosed unless authorized by a statute, the Internal Revenue
Service IRS, or IRS regulations.
1. To a congressional office in response to an inquiry from the office made at the request of the subject of a record.
2. To the Internal Revenue Service, Department of the Treasury, as necessary, for the purpose of auditing the Social Security Administration's compliance with the safeguard provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
3. To contractors and other Federal agencies, as necessary, for the purpose of assisting the Social Security Administration (SSA) in the efficient administration of its programs. We will disclose information under this routine use only in situations in which SSA may enter into a contractual or similar agreement with a third party to assist in accomplishing an agency function relating to this system of records.
4. To the General Services Administration and the National Archives Records Administration (NARA) under 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906, as amended by the NARA Act of 1984, information which is not restricted from disclosure by Federal law for the use of those agencies in conducting records management studies.
5. To the Department of Justice (DOJ), a court or other tribunal, or another party before such tribunal when:
(a) The Social Security Administration (SSA), or any component thereof; or
(b) Any SSA employee in his/her official capacity; or
(c) Any SSA employee in his/her individual capacity where DOJ (or SSA where it is authorized to do so) has agreed to represent the employee; or
(d) The United States or any agency thereof where SSA determines that the litigation is likely to affect the operations of SSA or any of its components, is a party to litigation or has an interest in such litigation, and SSA determines that the use of such records by DOJ, a court or other tribunal, or another party before such tribunal, is relevant and necessary to the litigation, provided, however, that in each case, SSA determines that such disclosure is compatible with the purpose for which the records were collected.
6. To student volunteers, individuals working under a personal services contract, and other workers who technically do not have the status of Federal employees, when they are performing work for the Social Security Administration (SSA), as authorized by law, and they need access to personally identifiable information in SSA records in order to perform their assigned Agency functions.
7. To the Secretary of Health and Human Services or to any State, the Commissioner shall disclose any record or information requested in writing by the Secretary for the purpose of administering any program administered by the Secretary, if records or information of such type were so disclosed under applicable rules, regulations and procedures in effect before the date of enactment of the Social Security Independence and Program Improvements Act of 1994.
8. To contractors for the purpose of assisting SSA in the efficient administration of the Ticket-to-Work and Self-Sufficiency Program. (These contractors would be limited to the Program Manager, which is directly assisting the Social Security Administration (SSA) in
administering the Ticket program, and to Employment Networks, which are providing services to SSA beneficiaries under the Ticket program.)
9. To a Federal, State, or congressional support agency (e.g., Congressional Budget Office and the Congressional Research Staff in the Library of Congress) for research, evaluation, or statistical studies. Such disclosures include, but are not limited to, release of information in assessing the extent to which one can predict eligibility for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments or Social Security disability insurance benefits; examining the distribution of Social Security benefits by economic and demographic groups and how
these differences might be affected by possible changes in policy; analyzing the interaction of economic and non-economic variables affecting entry and exit events and duration in the Title II Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance and the Title XVI SSI disability
programs; and, analyzing retirement decisions focusing on the role of Social Security benefit amounts, automatic benefit recomputation, the delayed retirement credit, and the retirement test, if the Social Security Administration (SSA):
(a) Determines that the routine use does not violate legal limitations under which the record was provided, collected, or obtained;
(b) Determines that the purpose for which the proposed use is to be made:
(i) Cannot reasonably be accomplished unless the record is provided in a form that identifies individuals;
(ii) Is of sufficient importance to warrant the effect on, or risk to, the privacy of the individual which such limited additional exposure of the record might bring;
(ii) Has reasonable probability that the objective of the use would be accomplished;
(iv) Is of importance to the Social Security program or the Social Security beneficiaries or is for an epidemiological research project that relates to the Social Security program or beneficiaries;
(c) Requires the recipient of information to:
(i) Establish appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of the record and agree to on-site inspection by SSA's personnel, its agents, or by independent agents of the recipient agency of those safeguards;
(ii) Remove or destroy the information that enables the individual to be identified at the earliest time at which removal or destruction can be accomplished consistent with the purpose of the project, unless the recipient receives written authorization from SSA that it is justified, based on research objectives, for retaining such information;
(iii) Make no further use of the records except:
(1) Under emergency circumstances affecting the health and safety of any individual, following written authorization from SSA;
(2) For disclosure to an identified person, approved by SSA, for the purpose of auditing the research project;
(iv) Keep the data as a system of statistical records. A statistical record is one which is maintained only for statistical and research purposes and which is not used to make any determination about an individual;
(d) Secures a written statement by the recipient of the information attesting to the recipient's understanding of, and willingness to abide by, these provisions.
10. We may disclose information to appropriate Federal, State, and local agencies, entities, and persons when (1) we suspect or confirm that the security or confidentiality of information in this system of records has been compromised; (2) we determine that as a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the security or integrity of this system or other systems or programs of SSA that rely upon the compromised information; and (3) we determine that disclosing the information to such agencies, entities, and persons is necessary to assist in our efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm. SSA will use this routine use to respond only to those incidents involving an unintentional release of its records.
Policies and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing, retaining, and disposing of records in the system:
Records are maintained in magnetic media (e.g., magnetic tapes).
The records are retrieved by the SSN.
Only authorized personnel having a need for this information in the performance of their official duties have access to this data under stringent security measures involving guards, building passes and photographs, etc. Access http://www.socialsecurity.gov/foia/bluebook/app_g.htm for additional information relating to SSA data security measures.
Retention and disposal:
The records are maintained indefinitely.
System manager(s) and address(es):
Social Security Administration
Office of Disability Determinations
Notification procedures:
An individual can determine if this system contains a record about him/her by contacting the system manager at the address shown above and furnishing his or her name, SSN, approximate date and place claim was filed, type of claim (DI, BL, or SSI), and return address. (Furnishing the SSN is voluntary, but it will make searching for an individual's record easier and avoid delay.)
An individual requesting notification of records in person should provide the same information, as well as provide an identity document, preferably with a photograph, such as a driver's license or some other means of identification. If an individual does not have any identification documents sufficient to establish his/her identity, the individual must certify in writing that he/she is the person claimed to be and that he/she understands that the knowing and willful request for, or acquisition of, a record pertaining to another individual under false pretenses is a criminal offense.
If notification is requested by telephone, an individual must verify his/her identity by providing identifying information that parallels information in the record to which notification is being requested. If it is determined that the identifying information provided by telephone is insufficient, the individual will be required to submit a request in writing or in person. If an individual is requesting information by telephone on behalf of another individual, the subject individual must be connected with SSA and the requesting individual in the same phone call. SSA will establish the subject individual's identity (his/her name, SSN, address, date of birth and place of birth, along with one other piece of information, such as mother's maiden name) and ask for his/her consent in providing information to the requesting individual.
If a request for notification is submitted by mail, an individual must include a notarized statement to SSA to verify his/her identity or must certify in the request that he/she is the person claimed to be and that he/she understands that the knowing and willful request for, or acquisition of, a record pertaining to another individual under false pretenses is a criminal offense. These procedures are in accordance with SSA Regulations (20 CFR 401.40(c)).
An individual who requests access to his or her medical record must also name a representative in writing. The representative may be a physician, other health professional, or other responsible individual who would be willing to explain the contents of the medical record(s) before giving the entire medical record(s) to the individual. These procedures are in accordance with SSA Regulations (20 CFR 401.40(c) and 401.55).
A parent or guardian who requests notification of, or access to, a minor's medical record shall, at the time he/she makes the request, designate a physician or other health professional (other than a family member) who will be willing to explain the contents of the medical record(s) before giving the entire medical record(s) to the parent or guardian. These procedures are in accordance with SSA Regulations (20 CFR 401.40(c) and 401.55).
Record access procedures:
Same as Notification procedures. Requesters also should reasonably specify the record contents being sought. These access procedures are in accordance with SSA Regulations (20 CFR 401.40(c) and 401.55).
Contesting record procedures:
Same as Notification procedures. Also, requesters should reasonably identify the record, specify the information they are contesting and the corrective action sought, and the reasons for the correction, with supporting justification showing how the record is incomplete, untimely, inaccurate or irrelevant. These procedures are in accordance with SSA Regulations (20 CFR 401.65(a)).
Record source categories:
These records summarize information contained in the claims folder which was obtained from the individual or someone acting on the individual's behalf and from this individual's physician or a physician performing a consultative examination or from hospitals and other treatment sources.

Hi mumnlikenit,
I hope Laura-Jane sees this question because she's got some of the best ideas of things to keep children busy.
But aside from things you can do, I would encourage you to make sure she is eating a really healthy diet. Reduce or eliminate all sugar and refined foods, especially foods with high fructose corn syrup and food coloring in them (red dyes are the worst). Focus on making healthy foods with high quality protein, fruits and vegetables. Eggs, nut butters, smoothies, steamed vegetables, fresh fruits, and avocados are all part of a healthy diet.
If you reduce the amount of simple carbohydrates like crackers, cookies, cakes, chips and sweets, you may just see that her attention span gets better and she doesn't have the "wiggles" quite so much.
Here's another thread where we gave some ideas of things to do with children.
Warm regards,
29th May 2012 10:35 PM #3
Ah thanks Kate!
Dear mumnlikenit (love your member name!),
Sometimes little ones seem to have so much energy, don't they?! It is great to keep them busy and active so that they: stay healthy, enjoy discovering and learning new activities and sleep well.
I think it's good to do a combination of group activities with children and family/ one-on-one activities. This means that a child is benefiting from socialising and playing with other children as well as enjoying the attention from their parents. For the group activities; sports groups or playgroups can be great. I see from your previous post that your daughter is 3 years old so she may enjoy activities like: group crafts (e.g. making cards or decorating boxes), swimming, playing hide and seek with friends and some playgroups organise 'messy play'.
For the more family centred activities you can be as creative as you and your daughter like! How about making a den under a table (with blankets and boxes) that she can 'play house' in. Or making/buying some pizza bases and then having a fun cooking afternoon creating your own pizza toppings and designs (just be prepared for the mess!). You could draw pictures outside with colourful chalks or make a 'family scrapbook' telling special things about each family member. You could create an obstacle course in your own garden!
I hope you have a great time with your little girl!
Best wishes,

Kids would love to learn through games and crafts, so it is natural that the capacity they will gain through discovering positive attitude by playing different activities. Activities like puzzle games, let toddler play with a cardboard box easy enough, paintings, coloring pages, crafts, make a balance beam from boards inside or outside and practice walking along them.
I use to make my little one to color the images of different things or any cartoon related sheets or educational like alphabet coloring pages http://www.momjunction.com/articles/alphabet-coloring-pages-your-toddler-will-love_0076610/
Here are few activities for toddlers http://nurturestore.co.uk/our-most-p...s-for-toddlers

Learning the English language offers a wide variety of benefits. It doesn't just open doors to a wide variety of educational and employment opportunities worldwide but it also makes things a lot easier. Knowing the English language allows us to watch blockbuster movies that are only available with subtitles. It is also not a secret that being English proficient makes us qualified to wonderful opportunities that can significantly improve our status in a financial sense.
Many countries have educational systems that make English subjects necessary for classes. This is the reason why many people from around the world are able to listen, speak, read and write using the English language without any difficulties at all. However, applicants for university admission as well as residency and employment abroad require a different level of English proficiency. Those who are aiming to live, study and work abroad should prove that they have the sufficient English skills and knowledge necessary for them to function well in an English-speaking Society.
The IELTS test opens doors to opportunities that can help improve the lives of people. This is Fred Malone's website and those who want to learn and master the English language as well pass the IELTS test can take advantage of the information made available here.

What Do New Mums REALLY need?
Hey ladies,
I am not sure if this is the right forum for this question but I was hoping you could help me out. I am a young, single mum in my late second trimester. I am going to be doing this almost completely on my own. Though my parents have accepted my pregnancy, they still are not really going to help out much. For one thing, I have five younger siblings that they are trying to provide for, another is that they do not have a lot themselves, and lastly they have made it clear that I will be responsible for this baby.
I want to parent my baby as naturally as possible. I am currently still living with my parents, sharing a room with my younger sister, though I have started the search for affordable apartments. I work full-time so I have a bit of money, but my budget is extremely tight. I wanted to know, from experienced mums, what the essentials are for a newborn? What could just not live without?

Hi Addy,
What a great question - what essentials are needed for a newborn - things you just can't live without!
Well, I actually wrote a book entitled "Great Bargains & Freebies for You and Your Baby", and in this book I talk about how to care for baby on a "shoe string budget".
When I was expecting my first baby, my husband and I were both working. But we planned for me to stop working as soon as baby arrived, which meant that we were going from 2 incomes down to 1.
So I started early, planning what I would need... and what I wouldn't need.
First of all I talked to a breastfeeding consultant who told me that babies who sleep with their mother pattern their breathing after their mother, so the incidence of SIDS in babies who sleep with their mother was very, very low.
That convinced me that I wanted to sleep with my baby, so I didn't need a crib or a bassinet. I slept with all 5 of my babies, and never used a bassinet or a crib. When baby got older (like around 18 months) and I started transitioning them out of my bed, I just used a playpen. Again, I didn't need a crib because the playpen worked just fine. I could also take that the park or to a friend's house, and when baby needed to go down for a nap, or when baby needed an area to play, the playpen worked well. I had one that collapsed down small and was not hard to carry around. If you decide to get one later, look on freecycle.org. Just do a search for "Australia" or whatever area you are from and you'll find a group in your area. I see baby items come up on freecycle all the time. I've even given away a car seat and a stroller, plus I got a stroller for free on freecycle. Oh - just this week I saw a nearly new crib that was offered. Only used a few months and like new.
The items you will most definitely need are nappies. Here's a great little blog by my friend, Kymberly on cloth nappies. She welcomes questions and will help you with any questions you may have about nappies.
If you're going to use disposable nappies, then I found the best way to get started with those was one of two ways.
1. If your church, family or work throws you a baby shower, ask for disposable diapers in all sizes (you can always exchange the larger sizes for the smaller ones if you need to).
2. Each time you go to the store, buy a package of diapers. If you plan to use disposable wipes, then buy a package of diapers one week and a package of wipes the next week. This helps to stretch the cost out over time, rather than having a large cost all at one time, when baby arrives.
Clothing - Again, try freecycle.org for this. Lots of baby clothes come up on freecycle. You can also find some good quality used clothing at second hand stores. I don't think I bought a single item of clothing for my first baby that was new. I loved shopping at second hand stores and coming up with some great buys! Oh - babies don't need shoes until they are walking well, so don't be tempted to buy them just because they're cute. Save your money for when they really need them.
Car Seat - This one is a necessity, so if I had to say that there is one piece of equipment you would need for your baby it would be a car seat. Usually family is really great about buying this. Grandma or mom or Auntie. If this is not something you will be given, then, again, look at freecycle or a second hand baby store. I've found that the second hand baby stores in my area don't take car seats which are more than 2 years old, so you'll often find one that's in great condition and fairly new. I was given a car seat for my first baby, and it was used. But I used it for her until she needed a larger car seat. I do like an infant car seat for the first few months because it makes it very easy to move baby in and out of the car, and if baby is sleeping, you won't disturb him/her.
Stroller - this would probably be my #2 necessity. It's not truly a necessity, but it does make going out with baby much easier. If possible you'll want one that will allow you to put the infant car seat in it - again, just makes it easier to move baby from one place to another without waking.
Baby blankets - I found these at second hand stores too, and they didn't cost much. Always good to have on hand.
Newborn hats - I had a couple of these on hand. 100% cotton. Got them from the second hand store. Will help to keep baby warm during the first few weeks and is the first thing the midwife will place on your baby (a blanket and a hat).
Socks - I put these on baby's hands so baby doesn't scratch himself for the first few weeks. Works great on the feet too (keeping baby warm).
And probably the last thing I would say is really important would be some cloth nappies - either new or used. Some nappy services will sell a large bag of used nappies for a good price and you can use those for burp rags, for breastfeeding (cleaning up when my baby would pull off the breast and my milk would get us both wet) and for laying over a little boy's penis while you're changing him (to avoid a "water fountain" which little boys are notorious for doing during nappy changes.
I would also lay these cloth nappies over my chest at night because I didn't like sleeping with a bra on. Oh - and I would place one under my baby's head at night when we would sleep together. Anytime he was hungry, I would turn over and breast feed, and any dribbles or little bits of spit up would be caught by the cloth nappy under his head. If it got wet, I would easily change it out and put a fresh one down. They are SO handy.
And one last thing I just thought of us a little pair of baby nail clippers. I think that's about all. A swing can be very helpful for putting bub to sleep, but it's not a necessity. You really don't need much to care for a newborn. As long as they are warm, dry, fed and well rested - that's all they need.
Anyone else have some ideas of things that are necessities for an infant?
Warm regards,
29th June 2012 03:24 AM #3
Hey Addy,
What a good question!
I see you have had a really great reply from Kate.
I've not much to add to this apart from I agree that you don't need tonnes of stuff for a new baby. It's good if you can borrow items from friends or relatives as some baby products are only used for so short a period of time (e.g. if you want to use a Moses Basket - your baby will probably only be in it for a couple of months).
The only thing I can think to add which I found invaluable is a baby carrier. We used a Kari Me carrier from 0-12 months of age and now use a Mei Tei. I found wearing my baby helped to settle him, he loved to sleep in it and it was an excellent way to bond with my son. It also gives you your hands free so you can (attempt to) get some jobs done.
I also found my nursing bras invaluable (I had 2 to start with and then got a couple extra after a few months) as well as breast pads - and I'm going to use LilyPadz with my next baby because mums on here rave about them (instead of disposable breast pads)! These are different to other breast pads because they work to stop your milk leaking. I also found a manual breast pump useful.
I look forward to sharing in your pregnancy journey with you - I'm 22 weeks pregnant with my second baby.
Best wishes,

Those were more great suggestions by LJ. The baby carrier isn't a "necessity" (per se) but it surely does help to settle baby and also helps to give your arms a break. I used a front pack until about 6 months, and then switched to a back-pack when I needed to do dishes, ironing, vacuuming, food prep, etc.
I found a backpack at a garage sale so it was very inexpensive, so you could save up for that and buy a used one at a great price. The backpack also came in very handy when we were at the grocery store. I preferred one that had a "kick stand" so that I could set the backpack up easily to put bub in and take bub out.
Nursing bras were important for me, and something I never thought of until my mother-in-law suggested that she take me to the store to buy a couple. Always nice to have at least two so when one gets wet with milk, you can easily put another on while that one is being washed.
And nursing pads... I used both disposable and washable. The washable ones are a good investment because you buy them once and don't need to continually be buying nursing pads. You will need something, though, to help keep your bras dry. You could even make some yourself. Just use cloth diaper fabric (cut it up) or some soft flannel. Here are some great instructions for making homemade nursing pads.
I'm going to make another post showing you how you can make your own menstrual pads because this is something else that will be an absolute necessity.
Warm regards,

Making Homemade Menstrual Pads / Sanitary Napkins
Menstrual pads are something you'll definitely need after baby arrives because you will be bleeding for a few weeks. I've used both disposable and homemade flannel, and I used them at different times, for different things.
Here are some videos showing you how to make homemade sanitary napkins and how to wash them.
Hope this helps as you prepare to mother on a "shoe string budget". You really don't need lots of things. Your baby will appreciate so much the love he or she received from mum.
Warm regards,

CR5665: K.I.S.S. ASSist - Combo Edge
Columbia River
The revolutionary high-tech statement by Knifemakers' Guild member and designer "Daddy K.I.S.S." Ed Halligan stood for Keep It Super Simple." It inspired many other knife designers, some to copy it, and some to suggest additional features, as with our K.I.S.S. Two-Timer™. In this case, the question was, could we make such a compact and elemental knife into an assisted opener?
It took some thought and a lot of precision machining, but we're proud to introduce the K.I.S.S. ASSist™. We found a way to build in our patented OutBurst® assisted opening with the patent-pending* Fire Safe mechanism. When closed, the blade is safely locked by a special cam-over pin that extends from the assist spring. It cannot be opened until the safety button on the end of the thumb stud is firmly depressed and the thumb stud is nudged outward.
It is both very fast, and very safe, because simply pressing the Fire Safe button does not open the knife. You must both press down and nudge the blade outward deliberately.One-hand closing is also fast and easy. The mechanism is covered by a thin lightweight layer of inset carbon fiber. When closed, the single-sided blade is securely sealed by the single Zytel® guard. The AUS 4 stainless steel blade receives a high satin finish, while the 420J2 stainless steel frame has a contrasting non-reflective bead-blast surface. All models have a removable bead-blast stainless steel pocket/money clip.
The result is a handsome new line of K.I.S.S. knives with fast assisted opening, rigid lock-up, and a sophisticated high-tech mechanism that is integrated into the frame, all with a weight that is only slightly more than the original K.I.S.S. Ed is a remarkable innovator in his own right, but we can't imagine that when he started this design over a decade ago, that he envisioned this new wrinkle.

Official: Benghazi looked like terror attack from start
(NEWSER) – A senior US diplomat has disputed the White House's account of the attack on the US mission in Libya last year, and claims that the State Department's review "let people off the hook," CNN reports. In an interview with congressional investigators, Greg Hicks, the former deputy chief of mission in Libya, is quoted as saying: "I thought it was a terrorist attack from the get-go. I think everybody in the mission thought it was a terrorist attack from the beginning." This stands in contrast to Obama administration claims that the attack initially appeared to have erupted from a spontaneous protest. "I never reported a demonstration," he said. "I reported an attack on the consulate."

Awww good luck!
Have a good day & don't do too much 'cage warrioring' on your first day....at least wait until your 2nd day! LOL
Couple of hints.
Use your spell checker a LOT
Don't use forums AT ALL
if you do your job as well as you do at getting laided, you may aswell just quit now
^ Although that was very funny, it was a very harsh shot.
Is ready to die for that inch.
i think you should start an apprenticeship as a self publicist.
after years of sponging, before the first day of proper graft in years you're already moaning and hoping you get a computer so you can socialise rather than work.
deary me, kids of today.
"The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war"
Paul gets his first taste of the real world, this thread has potential.
good luck mate, be sure to inform us all how much real life differs from how you imagined it.
And no, the hottie at the office does not fancy you.
I gotta admit to shedding a tear when I read this; our little virginous boy has taken the first steps to becoming an adult!, it makes me so proud!
I remember how he's grown in his time here....how he'd say he'd turn up to train and constantly let people down before getting a beating off Dan John, finally making him train properly and get in the ring and fight a 14 year old...now, after being berated for being fuck-lazy, he's gone and gotten a job.....all that needs to happen now is for him to get a gf he actually gets a piece off and we'll have lost him forever! :'(
On a side note; good luck Paul and, for fuck's sake, don't spell "bussiness" like that!
Hamstisco. All that's left for you to do is fuck a hot secretary over a desk/photocopier/water cooler and release your hamster from the shackles of sexual slavery and you will be a man, my son.

August 29, 2007 – Torrance, CA - Lexus integrates advanced technology in all its vehicles, with a focus on enhancing ease of use, comfort, and driving pleasure. The brand's reputation for quality applies to every vehicle feature and system, and any technology that the customer contacts must be easy to understand and use. The following is a review of some of the advanced technology featured in 2008 Lexus models that enhances performance, comfort and convenience.
Engines That Think Big
All Lexus engines employ continuously Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i), which eliminates the compromise between low-end torque and high-rpm horsepower by optimizing valve overlap throughout the engine's speed range, not just at one or two set speeds. Models powered by the new-generation 3.5-liter V6 engines or the 4.6-liter V8 employ a Dual VVT-i system that acts on the exhaust valves as well as the intake valves. The new-generation LS models introduced dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence and Electrically controlled intake cam (VVT-iE). This is the world's first electronically controlled valve-timing system. It provides optimal valve timing over an optimal operating range.
Dual Fuel Injection
The 3.5-liter V6 in the GS 350, GS 450h and IS 350 models, and the V8s in the GS 460, LS 460 and LS 600hL models augment port fuel injection with a direct-to-cylinder fuel injection system. The direct injection provides a cooling effect in the cylinders, allowing the higher compression ratio that results in an optimal air-fuel mixture, greater fuel efficiency and power output, lower emissions and enhanced drivability.
World's First Eight-Speed Automatic Transmission
The LS 460, LS 460 L and GS 460 models are equipped with the world's first eight-speed automatic transmission. This advanced transmission allows gear ratios that maximize torque up to the tire-grip limitations in the lower ranges yet maintain quietness and admirable fuel efficiency on the high end. The transmission-control system allows simultaneous release and engagement of the clutches to negate gearshift shock when upshifting.
Road-Sensing Throttle Control
Seeking to enhance driving smoothness at every level, Lexus equips the SC 430 model with Intuitive Powertrain Control. Working with the electronic throttle control, this system helps to smooth out acceleration from a standing start by slightly delaying the throttle opening when the driver steps on the accelerator.
Dynamic Handling Control
All-Wheel-Drive Passenger Cars
The 2008 GS 350 and IS 250 models offer all-wheel-drive as an option. A planetary-gear center differential and a wet-type multi-disc clutch control power distribution. The system normally sends 70 percent of the power to the rear wheels to provide the traditional performance advantages of a rear-drive vehicle, but it will vary the torque split ratio from 30:70 to 50:50 in response to driving conditions and driver input. The system's electronic control strategy takes inputs from steering and throttle angle, combined with vehicle signals from wheel speed and yaw rate sensors.
Power in the all-new LS 600h L flagship model is distributed by a newly developed full-time AWD system that delivers secure handling and traction in various driving and road conditions. A Torsen® planetary gear-type limited-slip differential (LSD) distributes torque 40:60 under most straight-line driving situations. The compact new Torsen® differential is 30 percent smaller and 11 lb lighter than previous Torsen® systems.
Unlike speed-sensing LSDs used in some AWD vehicles, the TORSEN unit in the LS 600h L L is a full-time torque sensing, torque biasing system. Torque and differentiation are continuously managed between the front and rear wheels and biased instantaneously according to varying road conditions. As a result, power is automatically shifted to the wheel or wheels with the most traction even before wheel slip can occur.
Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM)
The 2008 LS 460 and 460 L, LS 600hL, GS 460, GS 350, GS 450h, IS 350 and RX 400h models feature the advanced Lexus Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) system. VDIM integrates and manages a host of handling technologies more quickly than other dynamic handling technologies.
An important component of VDIM is the Electronically Controlled Brakes (ECB), a "brake-by-wire" system (except in IS 350 and GS 350). ECB translates brake pedal pressure into electric signals that, via computer control, help provide precise and optimized braking in virtually any traction condition. Electronic control provides quick brake response when needed, helping the VDIM system to anticipate and help correct slides before they might occur. The ECB system is backed by conventional hydraulic brake control in case of the unlikely event of electronic failure.
VDIM integration strategy provides precise control for the ECB, Electric Power Steering (EPS), Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), ABS, Brake Assist (BA), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and engine torque via the electronically controlled throttle. On the
LS 460 L, LS 600hL, GS 460 and GS 450h models, VDIM also influences Variable Gear Ratio Steering (VGRS) to affect minor steering corrections when needed.
Electric Power Steering
Electric Power Steering (EPS) in VDIM-equipped Lexus models provides precise electric power assist using a DC motor built into the steering-gear housing, rather than traditional hydraulic assist. Eliminating the hydraulic steering pump reduces engine drag, and the simplified steering system is lighter and more compact than hydraulic steering systems.
The Variable Gear Ratio Steering System (VGRS) in the GS 460 and GS 450h models electronically adjusts the steering ratio according to vehicle speed. VGRS can vary the steering from 2.7 turns lock-to-lock for low-speed maneuverability to a slower 3.2 turns lock-to-lock for highway-speed stability. Additionally, VGRS provides differential steering control, which helps correct for a delay in steering response, something that occurs in all vehicles. VGRS is optional in the LS 460L, where, with 18-inch wheels the steering range is from 2.4 turns lock-to-lock to 3.5 turns, and with 19-inch wheels it is from 2.5 turns to 3.5 turns. This function helps enhance driving feel in lane changes and other transitional maneuvers.
Advanced Suspension Systems
The advanced Active Power Stabilizer system offered in the GS 460 and LS models reduces body roll and enhances vehicle control during cornering. This fast-acting system uses electric actuators, rather than slower hydraulic actuators used in most competitors' systems. An Electronic Control Unit (ECU) calculates the force needed to counter excess body sway, which is then applied to the stabilizer bars by the front and rear actuators.
The Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) system is standard on the LS 600hL, GS 460 and GS 450h sedans and the GX 470 and LX 570 luxury utility vehicles. Responding to road conditions, driver input and vehicle speed, AVS continuously adjusts the shock absorber damping force to help provide the best balance of ride comfort and handling response. For the GX and LX, the driver can select from normal, comfort and sport settings; for LS 600hL, GS 460 and GS 450h, there are three selections: normal, comfort and sport.
The LS 460L and the RX 350 luxury utility vehicle offer an optional air suspension system designed to enhance handling, driving comfort and versatility. Automatic load leveling helps to ensure generous suspension travel and preserve ride comfort. Four driver-selectable height settings allow the driver to tailor the RX 350 to specific driving conditions or needs.
Adjustable SUV Suspension
The GX 470 features Adaptive Variable-air Suspension (AVS) with four settings (comfort, semi-comfort, semi-sport and sport) for increased ride comfort over various road surfaces. In addition, the Rear Adjustable Height Control (RAHC) is included to lower the rear by 1.2 inches or raise it by 1.6 inches for easier loading and unloading.
The new LX 570's standard hydraulic Adjustable Height Control (AHC) and Adaptive Variable-air Suspension (AVS) allow the driver to raise the vehicle by up to about three inches to help clear rough off-road terrain and to lower it for easy entry and exit. A height-control switch and light indicate current suspension height, and the light flashes when height changes occur.
For off-road travel, switching to High increases the angles of approach and departure by several degrees to help the vehicle negotiate obstacles. The LX 570 will go into Extra High mode if it is in low range and traveling over rough terrain, with the height rising automatically by 1.2 inches at the front and approximately 1.8 inches in the rear. If set in High mode, the suspension will automatically lower when the LX 570 exceeds 18.6 mph, which is a more than adequate speed for rigorous off-road conditions.
Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) for GX 470
The GX 470's available Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) enhances the vehicle's on-road ride and handling and off-highway capability. Electronically controlled hydraulic cylinders help vary the degree of roll resistance provided by the front and rear stabilizer bars. KDSS helps provide more roll stiffness when needed for crisp handling response and variable roll resistance to increase wheel articulation. This helps ensure comfort and optimize traction over uneven road surfaces.
The GX 470 also features two systems to help control the vehicle in rugged driving conditions. Downhill Assist Control (DAC) augments the low-speed descending ability in low range by helping to hold the vehicle to a comfortably low target speed with no intervention from the driver. The Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) system helps provide additional control when starting up an incline by gently applying the brakes if the vehicle starts to roll backward.
Comfort and Convenience
A Car that Virtually Parks Itself
The LS flagship sedan models offer the segment-exclusive Advanced Parking Guidance System (APGS) to assist with parallel and back-in parking. Once the driver has correctly positioned the car and identified the desired parking space shown on the navigation screen, APGS utilizes the rear back-up camera and parking sonar sensors to guide the car into the space. The driver controls vehicle speed by applying the brakes.
Rear Back-Up Camera
All 2008 Lexus models offer a rear back-up camera that provides an extra measure of confidence when reversing the vehicle. The rear back-up camera is standard in the LS 460 L, LS 600hL, the GS 450h hybrid sport sedan, and the LX 570 luxury utility vehicle. In other models, it is part of the available navigation package. The camera gives the driver a view of what its lens can detect behind the vehicle, projecting a color image onto the navigation screen when reverse gear is engaged.
Dynamic Laser Cruise Control
The RX 350 and RX 400h offer available Dynamic Laser Cruise Control. This system uses lasers to collect data from scanning points ahead and is designed to help the driver automatically maintain a set distance from the vehicle traveling in front.
Intelligent Climate Control
All Lexus models come equipped with automatic climate control. The LS 460L and LS 600hL come with a four-zone climate-control system that includes the world's first overhead diffuser, and an infrared temperature body/seat sensors (with Executive Class packages).
The SC 430 hardtop convertible's climate control system adjusts airflow and temperature automatically, differentiating between top-up and top-down driving needs. For example, when driving in cooler weather with the top down, the system will direct warm air to the feet and lap areas. On warmer days, the system will circulate cool air to the same locations.
Entertainment, Navigation and Security
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control and Pre-Collision System
All Lexus sedans and the new LX 570 for 2008 offer the Pre-Collision System (PCS), which integrates the Dynamic Radar Cruise Control system. A millimeter-wave radar system is designed to detect vehicles traveling ahead. A millimeter-wave radar sensor helps detect obstacles in front of the car, while vehicle speed, steering angle and yaw-rate inputs help to determine whether a collision is unavoidable.
In such a situation, on models equipped with Adaptive Variable air Suspension (AVS), PCS switches the AVS system to firmer settings for optimal chassis response, preemptively retracts front seat belts, and pre-initializes Brake Assist so that increased braking will be applied the instant the driver depresses the pedal. The active braking feature will automatically apply the brakes up to a deceleration rate of 0.3 g if the driver fails to react to system warnings.
In the LS 600h L Launch Edition offered through Neiman Marcus, the Advanced Pre-Collision System (APCS) is the industry's first such system designed to help detect pedestrians in the vehicle's path. Using two small cameras mounted at the front of the car that work in conjunction with millimeter-wave radar, APCS is sensitive enough to detect certain nonmetallic objects.
The APCS option also integrates a Driver Monitor System first introduced to the world by Lexus. A camera mounted on the steering column monitors the orientation of the driver's face. If the camera detects that the driver is not looking directly ahead for a few seconds or more, and if an obstacle is detected ahead, the system alerts the driver first with a warning chime and a flashing light. As the car closes on the obstacle, if the driver does not react, APCS can begin to gently apply the vehicle's brakes.
To assist the driver in maneuvering around the obstacle, APCS adjusts the steering ratio to quicken the degree and speed of steering response. Simultaneously, in anticipation of a potential impact, the system automatically retracts the front seatbelts and prepares the brake system to respond with full power when the driver applies the brake pedal.
Lexus Navigation System
Lexus offers a navigation system in all 2008 models. -- A DVD-based system in offered in most vehicles and a new hard-disc drive (HDD) system in the LS models and the new LX 570. In the DVD-based systems, a single DVD holds all of the map data for the contiguous United States, Hawaii and select areas in Canada. All Lexus navigation systems feature voice recognition. In additional to having a larger capacity and a quicker response, the HDD systems can store up to 2,000 digital music files.
Voice recognition allows the driver to input the destination by voice command, even while driving. "Building footprint display" for four major cities can provide a graphic representation of the buildings near the selected destination or along a route to help the driver identify surroundings. The system also features phone-number-based business address recognition.
The newest navigation system offers Spanish for the voice prompt feature, along with English and French. The user can select language preference at system start-up. All Lexus navigation systems use a high-speed computer that offers quick route calculation and fast map scrolling.
Convenience features include multi-route calculation, route preview, simplified highway junction graphics and a dual-map screen mode. The Freeway Lane Guidance feature will alert the driver to the best lane for an upcoming exit. Additional functions of the navigation system vary by vehicle. On the LS models and the new LX 570, factory-installed XM® satellite radio features XM® NavTraffic with real-time traffic displays and dynamic route guidance.
Bluetooth® wireless technology integrates with the navigation system to allow the transfer of personal phone books. The driver can make hands-free phone calls via its touch-screen control panel. Customers can place a handset-free call by either using the keypad on the navigation system to dial a number, selecting their handset phonebook stored in one of two phonebook settings, selecting a point of interest or by using the one-touch dial feature. To help reduce driver distraction, the one-touch dial feature is the only dialing function that a customer can access when the vehicle is in operation. The customer can also use controls on the steering wheel to answer and end calls as well as to adjust call listening volume.
Anti-Theft System
Lexus equips all its 2008 models with an advanced remote keyless entry and a security system with immobilizer. Only the correct key code will start a Lexus vehicle. For convenience, Lexus integrated the remote lock/unlock unit into the key, eliminating separate remote-control unit.
Standard in the new-generation LS, ES 350, GS and IS sedans and LX 570, SmartAccess allows the driver to unlock the car simply by pulling on the door handle (with the remote control carried in pocket or purse) and then start the vehicle at the touch of a button. The SmartAccess key fob, carried in the driver's pocket, transmits a radio signal to onboard antennas, authorizing the security system to unlock the car and permit the engine to start. The LS 600h L and new LX 570 are equipped with a SmartCard key wallet card that allows the driver to unlock and start the car if the main key fob is lost.
XM®/Sirius® Satellite Radio
Satellite radio capability, which with the appropriate subscription provides a wide selection of music and news/talk stations coast to coast, is available in nearly all 2008 Lexus models.
Mark Levinson® Audio
Lexus is the only automaker to offer an OEM mobile audio system by Mark Levinson. Audiophiles have recognized the Mark Levinson brand as a leader in high-end home audio components since the early 1970s. A Mark Levinson® Premium Audio System is standard in the SC 430 and LS 600h L models and available in all other Lexus models as an option. The Mark Levinson systems feature discrete amplifier design with ultra-low crossover distortion. All occupants enjoy optimal sound quality no matter where they are sitting.
The ES 350, IS and GS models offer a Mark Levinson® Premium Surround Sound audio system featuring a maximum of 300 watts of power for ES and IS and 330 watts on the GS system. These models feature 14 speakers (including a center speaker and subwoofer) and 7.1-channel speaker architecture. Specifications vary by model.
Standard on the new LS 600h L and optional for other LS models is a specially developed 19-speaker, 450-watt, discrete 5.1 Mark Levinson® Reference Surround sound audio system, creating a new benchmark for automotive sound systems with its theater-level entertainment experience. The new-for-2008 LX 570 luxury-utility vehicle offers a similar 19-speaker system. In most models equipped with Mark Levinson audio systems, the display screen provides an in-car theater. With the transmission in Park and the parking brake set, passengers can view a DVD movie on the navigation screen.
Rear-Seat Entertainment
All Lexus SUVs offer an optional rear-seat DVD entertainment system, which plays movies on an LCD screen that deploys from the headliner in front of the second-row seats. Two sets of wireless headphones and a remote control are included with the option. The system uses large 9-inch wide-format screen.
The Executive Class Seating Package for the LS 460 L and the Executive Class Seating Package II for the LS 600hL include a rear-seat entertainment system featuring the world's first motorized, ceiling-mounted 3.0 VGA high-quality display with a nine-inch screen, which deploys via electronic-motor.

Tornados close out fall season with victories over Covenant and MilliganOctober 11, 2008
Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College women's tennis team was in action this past weekend, defeating visiting Covenant College on Friday and Milligan College on Saturday, to go 2-0 for the weekend.
On Friday, taking on the Scots of Covenant College, the Tornados swept the doubles matches, with top doubles pair, Kayley Duval and Lindsay Hostetter defeating Julia Meyers and Catherine Ramage, 8-3. The second doubles pairing was more of the same as BC's Kim Dixon and Lindsay Shaeffer handled Jane Sizemore and Casey Cochran, 8-1. The third doubles pair completed the sweep as the Tornados duo of Jennifer Nyman and Merek Slagle defeated Stephanie Sizemore and Jane Shibley, 8-4.
In the singles matches on Friday, the two Lindsays took care of business as Shaeffer defeated Meyers 6-1, 6-3, and Hostetter downed Cochran 6-2, 6-0. The Scots fought back in the last four singles matches as Ramage defeated Duval, 2-6, 7-5 (10-4), Jane Sizemore defeated Nyman 7-5, 7-5, Stephanie Sizemore defeated Slagle 6-3, 7-6 (10-4), and Shibley defeated Emily Barrick, 6-0, 6-0.
In Saturday's action against Milligan, doubles action was the same as the Tornados swept the Buffalos from the court. Duval and Hostetter defeated Caitlin Conley and Jessie Rose Remegi, 8-3, while Dixon and Shaeffer topped Albany Kelly and Sara Hopson in the second doubles match, 8-1. Nyman and Slagle finished off the sweep as they narrowly defeated Janie Mullins and Heather Bell, 9-7.
Singles play was largely dominated by the women's tennis team as Shaeffer topped Milligan's number one Conley, 6-3, 6-1. Hostetter overpowered Kelly, 6-1, 6-2, while Duval defeated Remegi in straight sets, 6-1, 6-1. Kim Dixon added a victory in her match against Hopson, 6-4, 6-2. Mullins recorded the solo victory of the day for the Buffaloes against Brevard's Nyman, 7-6, 7-5. Sara Douglas closed out the day for the Tornados with a win over Laura Bowman, 6-3, 3-6, 10-4.

2005 Mazda Tribute Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2005 Mazda Tribute based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
If the engine is misfiring, it may be caused by a damaged wire(s) which connect the fuel injectors to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The damaged wire(s) can be repaired or the emission wire harness replaced. A misfire can result in a loss of engine performance and illumination of the Check Engine Light.
The DPFE (differential pressure feedback EGR) sensor tends to fail. The DPFE sensor monitors function of the EGR valve by measuring pressure changes in the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system. Symptoms of a failing DPFE sensor are hesitation or stumbling when driving along with illumination of the Check Engine Light.
If the engine stalls after a cold start (the vehicle has been parked for a while), the idle air control (IAC) valve may be sticking. It may be fouled with carbon buildup. If cleaning the valve does not solve the problem, replacement will be needed.

Recent calls for the amalgamation of councils in NSW seem to be based on the simple principle that big is better. But reforming local government will be much more complex than relying on size alone.
The key issues are governance and financial sustainability and we need to take the once-in-a-generation opportunity presented by the independent local government review to restructure governance within the state. At the same time we must improve the financial sustainability of the local government sector for future generations. Governance in Australia has evolved through a series of accidental events to define states that then federated to form a national government and to delegate some responsibilities to the local level. If we started from scratch today we would have something quite different.
Australian communities rely on state governments to deliver most services including public transport, major roads, education, health and strategic planning. To get the governance balance right means working out what services are primarily local, what are primarily state and what are shared. In NSW many services have joint state and local responsibilities with a range of joint committees to manage the overlap.
Most of these committees operate at a regional level involving many councils such as the joint regional planning panels, the proposed regional planning boards, regional transport committees and regional economic boards. It is the regional level with populations of about 500,000 in urban areas and 200,000 in rural areas that seem to have developed into a shared structure between state and local governments.
There are, however, many different regional groupings of councils for different government departments and this must be rationalised into a uniform approach. Planning, for instance, has different boundaries for regional planning panels than it has for joint regional planning panels. The Regional Organisation of Councils boundaries don't seem to align with any of the other clusters.
An initial response to more regional shared responsibilities could be to force an amalgamation of all local councils into this structure but this would undermine the concept of ''local'' in local government and would not necessarily improve financial sustainability. While the world is fast becoming a single global network there seems to be a strong trend to refocus on local communities.
What is needed in NSW is to reinforce localism through the involvement of communities with their local council while ensuring that shared responsibilities between state and local governments occur efficiently.
One way forward that has been proposed to the independent review of local government by Gooding Davies is to establish a council of mayors at a regional level co-ordinating six or seven local councils in their dealings with state government.This exists in south-east Queensland, and a similar concept is under study in Perth.
Applying a regional structure to Sydney's metropolitan area would have six or seven councils of mayors, or regional organisations of councils each with six or seven local councils focusing on local issues. Sydney-wide governance would involve a council of Sydney governments, modelled on COAG, chaired by a minister for Sydney with the chair of each of the six or seven councils of mayors.
The other important issue is financial sustainability. Analysis by the former head of NSW Treasury Percy Allan has shown that more than a quarter of NSW councils are financially unsustainable, which could be as high as 40 per cent if major backlogs in infrastructure expenditure are included. The amalgamation of councils into bigger councils does not necessarily reduce costs, either. Modern businesses are looking at more flexible ways of doing business through outsourcing, using contractors and looking at sharing some services with other similar organisations.
Some councils are working closely with others in their region already, but most as lobby groups. Only in the Hunter have councils gone to the next stage, with a shared service centre, with 11 local councils contracting to a centre to manage services such as procurement, training and legal services.
To ensure financial sustainability clusters of councils should have shared service centres. The NSW review of local government is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reform the sector. But this must be done by rethinking the partnership between state and local governments and developing a consistent regional structure without it becoming another layer of government.
Amalgamation of councils may well help with this reform but it is not on its own going to restructure governance in NSW.
Chris Johnson is the former government architect of NSW and is the chief executive of the Urban Taskforce.

Eight years ago, a city proposal for a 199-seat amphitheater and sports complex near the foot of Bixby Park was a serious contender for funding.
Today, the proposal is on the back burner, in lieu of other projects, including a new pedestrian beach path.
In the summer of 2004, two members of the state Coastal Commission raised concerns about how the project would affect beach access.
The project area, just south of Bixby Park at Cherry Avenue and Ocean Boulevard, was part of the city's Local Coastal Program and its November 2000 Bluff Erosion and Enhancement Project.
The proposed amphitheater would have included two 30-foot towers to support stage lighting, a backdrop screen and a shade that could be extended over the seats.
The amphitheater could be the staging site for the Municipal Band, or other concerts associated with Long Beach Museum of Art fundraisers, volunteer award programs, children's theater productions and day-camp programs, city officials said at the time.
The city's Planning Commission unanimously approved the plan in May 2004, following approval by the city's Marine Advisory and Parks and Recreation commissions.
However, two members of the state Coastal Commission - Sara Wan and Toni Iseman - filed an appeal, asking that the panel seek additional details from the city before approving a permit.
Among the concerns raised:
The proposed uses of the area - with three proposed playgrounds, a skate park and amphitheater - could detract from active beach use.
The project might reduce "visual resources" - that is to say, the scenic vista of the shoreline and Queen Mary.
Grading was planned to protect the bluff from additional erosion. However, the commissioners contended that the city planners didn't submit a grading plan, geologic studies or a landscaping plan.
These days, the city is moving forward with some other shoreline projects, but the amphitheater isn't among them.
Instead, there's a proposal for a new beach pedestrian path for strollers and joggers only. There's also a plan for a new, meandering disability-accessible path from Bixby Park to Cherry Beach, below the bluff.
The beach pedestrian path would be a new lane installed next to the current one - a 3.1-mile long, 16-foot wide path, where both pedestrians and bicyclists compete for space. The new lane would be about 11 feet, with a 15-foot "buffer" between the two paths, according to Eric Lopez, Tidelands capital projects program manager.
If there are no setbacks in getting the permits, planners hope to break ground on the new path in September or October, Lopez said.
The Bixby Park/Cherry Beach ADA passage work is slated for completion tentatively in December or January 2013, Lopez said.
New commander takes helm

Review Details
USAAF Type B-3 Flying Gloves
- Product Review (submitted on February 13, 2013):
- These are great gloves for driving or piloting. The Army Air Corps logo is very nicely painted onto the leather. Order your glove size using the sizing and measuring chart. However, don't be alarmed if you struggle a bit when you first pull them over the wide part of your hand. These are straight leather without a lining. After an hour or two, you will feel right at home in them. There is an authentic lookiing military tag inside each glove. This is just one of the many quality products from US Authentic that I presently own.
