Chris then volunteered over 300 hours with law enforcement before accepting a position as a Deputy with the Lowndes County Sherriff's Department in August of 2016.
An avid Florida Gator Football fan, Chris enjoyed shooting sports and was a member of Morningside Baptist Church. He was a devoted family man, a loving husband, father, son and brother. Chris was a kind, gentle, quiet man, yet unwavering in his convictions.

At the 14th Street YMHA, 344 E. 14th St., west of First Avenue, through May 4. Call (212) 206-1515.
IT'S happened! Musicals Tonight, the downtown Encores!, is finally putting on a show with witty dialogue, snappy music and a terrific cast – all at the same time.
Usually, there'll be, say, a gorgeous early Porter or Gershwin score sung by trite gagsters and bimbos played by fresh-faced youngsters.
This time it's doing "My Favorite Year," a 1993 musical with music by Stephen Flaherty, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens and book by Joseph Dougherty, about a 1954 appearance by a flashy, handsome, drunken movie star – based on Errol Flynn – on a TV variety show.
Let me tell you, a good book makes a difference – as does a good director/choreographer, in this case Thomas Mills, who has assembled an ideal cast and kept them operating at full steam.
Ahrens and Flaherty have gone on to write "Ragtime" and "A Man of No Importance," but in many ways "My Favorite Year," adapted from a movie starring Peter O'Toole, remains their best, most harmonious work.
The central figure is Benjy (David Ranson), a young jack of all trades at the TV studio and an aspiring writer.
Benjy is embarrassed by his intrusive mother Belle (Mary Ellen Ashley, who succeeds in the role by not pushing too hard), shy in front of his girl (a fine, funny Carey Anderson) and nonplussed by the flamboyant Hollywood creature Alan Swann (David Staller).
Ranson, sporting a sweater and a bow tie, gets exactly the combination in Benjy of goofy ingenuousness and shrewd common sense, in songs like "Larger Than Life" and (with Anderson) "Shut Up and Dance."
Staller brings just the right blend of glamour, charm, self-destructiveness and kindness; in such songs as "Manhattan," "Exits" and "If the World Were Like the Movies," he creates a perfect musical characterization, serious but not too serious.
Ranson and Staller deliver first-rate work, matched by all the cast, especially by Donna Coney Island (!) and Philip Hoffman as acerbic second bananas. In all, a delightful musical comedy done by a dynamite cast.

The following article is provided by Rolling Stone.
By KORY GROW
Paul McCartney has rescheduled the U.S. tour dates he had originally scheduled to begin in mid-June for October. His Out There tour will now resume in Albany on July 5th. The former Beatle is still recuperating from the virus that forced him to postpone several dates in Japan and South Korea. See the rescheduled dates, as well as McCartney's July and August dates, below.
Paul McCartney Trades Dance Moves With a Robot in 'Appreciate' Video
"I'm sorry, but it's going to be a few more weeks before we get rocking in America again," McCartney said in a statement. "I'm feeling great, but taking my docs' advice to take it easy for just a few more days. Look forward to seeing you all soon."
In Pics: The 12 Weirdest Paul McCartney Songs
The 71-year-old postponed a string of dates in Asia in late May when he came down with a virus and was hospitalized in Tokyo. At the time, his rep said, "He will make a complete recovery and has been ordered to take a few days rest."
Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Beatles Songs
Prior to postponing the U.S. tour dates, this leg of McCartney's Out There tour was meant to wrap up in San Francisco, where he would play the final concert at the city's Candlestick Park. That show, which is still scheduled to take place on August 14th, is where the Beatles played their final full concert in 1966.

As much playground time as possible:
-A first visit to Mother's Day out. It's at a nearby church and even runs through the summer! It's only one day a week for 4 hours and it's on as needed basis so I think it will be perfect! Emerson loved it and I loved shopping solo for a bit so we will definitely be going back!
-Lots of cake making (with her Lego cupcake set) and "picnics"
-Self portraits and sill faces galore
And lots of other things that mommy failed to get a picture of: play dates, pool time, cookie baking, and coloring. I am publicly promising myself that I WILL get out my DSLR this weekend!
Other than that, it's been pretty quiet around here. We're heading to Texas next week for some family time and we are really looking forward to. Eme can't wait to see her cousins, aunts and uncles and grandparents!
I hope is everyone well! Check back next week for at least two posts! ;)

Bulova 1946 Tuxedo
It's either a Craftsman or a Tuxedo, though I don't have the original band. I went with Tuxedo because of the contrasting color of the sub-seconds area.
Overall Length: 38mm
Width: 21mm
It would appear from your description that it is solid gold (correct?), in which case, I believe it would be the Tuxedo.
There is at least one ad in the database for the Tuxedo, so adding a supporting ad to your post should be do-able, and it would be a very good thing.
Here are the two 1946 ads for the Craftsman and Tuxedo. I don't see any indication that the Tuxedo had a solid gold band. Both ads read the same. One is white, one is yellow, which, I believe, accounts for the price difference. A solid gold band would cost a lot more than $100, even in 1946, IMO.

Our Palm Beach insurance claim attorneys noticed a recent interesting insurance law case. The suit, Hull & Co. v. Superior Court, involves "stranger liability," in other words whether a victim can sue the insurance broker who provided insurance to a business establishment, even though that victim has no direct contract with the insurance broker.
The Facts
The background of the case is as follows: Jason Gonzaga was shot at a Dave & Busters bar. Mr. Gonzaga sued the bar and also their security company, claiming that they failed to prevent the shooting incident. He settled that case, but then filed another case against the security company's insurance provider, Burlington, claiming that they had denied the security company's claim in bad faith under the assault and battery exclusion.

As long as you copy the main numbered containing folder (as 607jf described) they should show up as game saves. They can be copied to the HDD in the usual manner.
Xbox games saves often contain both file and sub-folders: typically TitleImage.xbx, SaveImage.xbx and TitleMeta.xbx files and separate sub-folders for different saves and player profile data. This is actually E:\UDATA information not TDATA data as 607jf I think mistakenly wrote. The TDATA folder and its content (if any) is usually only generated when you actually boot a game although it might generate once the Xbox is rebooted after installing a game save.
But you won't be able to see either until the Xbox is modded and you have a file explorer so you do not need to worry about such matters anyway.

The Families
The Families
At the time of the mid 1800s, the number of children born to each marriage was fairly large - from 6 to 12, depending on the age at which the mother married - but the mortality rate was also high. Childhood diseases and small-pox took their toll, and the spectre of the plague was always present for young and old alike. Lack of even basic sanitation control brought epidemics of cholera and typhus. As a result, it was likely that a married couple would raise no more than three or four of their youngsters to the stage of healthy adulthood.
When hard times brought changes to the family units, the young and fit members were reluctantly encouraged to find work elsewhere. Thus the migration to the USA and Australia began.

Vale Chris Reardon, sustainability leader
The ATA and the sustainable design community has lost a true pioneer and fearless advocate with the sudden passing of Chris Reardon last week.
Chris was the principal author of the Your Home technical manual, and has been working more recently on LJ Hooker's Liveability initiative which won a Banksia Award last week. He also volunteered his time as an expert contributor for both ReNew Magazine and Sanctuary and a regular in the ATA's Speed Date a Sustainable Expert series.
He designed, and trained others how to design, appropriate and low-energy homes, and most recently worked with LJ Hooker's Liveability scheme to integrate sustainability into the real estate sector, earning him his second Banksia Award.
Australia's sustainable homes of the future will undoubtedly serve as a lasting tribute to Chris's tireless efforts to change the way we design and use our homes for the future of the planet.
From Goulburn, NSW, he studied architecture and began working as a designer and house builder with a special interest in sustainable buildings from the late 1970s.
Donna Luckman, the ATA's chief executive, paid tribute to his passion for sustainable design and generosity. "Chris was always very generous sharing his time and committed to supporting the spread of sustainability in the community. He was a leader in his field.
"We will miss him. Our thoughts are with Chris's family at the moment."
Sanctuary: modern green homes is Australia's premier magazine dedicated to sustainable home design. More...

A compelling documentary about the impact of suicide is set to be a sellout in Wagga this month.
There are about 50 tickets left to Suicide: The Ripple Effect, which features two of Wagga's own mental health advocates, alongside others from across the world.
Founder of 3Words. I Need Help Facebook page Patrick Lawson and The Enemy Within founder Joe Williams were in 2016 invited to take part in the filming of the hard-hitting documentary.
The pair shared their own lived experiences of suicide.
Mr Williams said the screening was going to be "mega".
"A lot of people are going through an enormous amount of mental pain," Mr Williams said.
"The film is all about people, with similar stories, showing awareness and education to try and prevent that pain."
Mr Lawson said his role was only small, but it was still big.
"We're speaking about our lives and how we've made it our life's journey to help others," Mr Lawson said.
"It will be heavy hitting, that's for sure."
Both men will be part of a Q and A session, following the screening.
Suicide: The Ripple Effect will hit the big screen on March 19.
If you or anyone you know is in need of crisis support call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or beyond blue on 1800 800 944.

"Another dark chapter in the history of the federal government's relationship with Native Americans will soon end now that the House has followed the Senate in approving a final bill to fund the $3.4 billion Indian trust settlement. Elouise Cobell says it's overdue. She's the Montana rancher who sued the federal government 15 years ago over the management of Indian lands. COBELL: "I'm pretty happy for myself plus so many Indian beneficiaries and you say a silent prayer for the ones that passed on and couldn't enjoy this justice." During debate on the legislation, which also contained money to settle a discrimination suit by black farmers, some Republicans objected to the Cobell settlement's attorney fees - up to 100 million dollars. Still, approval was swift. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer. HOYER: "This was a continuing injustice that should have been addressed decades ago." Cobell found trust fund discrepancies as the Blackfoot Tribe treasurer and says she was surprised it took years of legal struggles to force the federal government to settle the case. COBELL: "The government has always treated Indians sort of like they never win and sometimes native people are unaccustomed to winning. When we would have a victory in our case I would always say 'what's wrong with winning? We are winning!"" Get the Story:

Paranormal RomanceSitting before her computer typing by candlelight one night an author thinks of her next vampire hero only to have him materialize from the darkness. A skeptic and unbeliever at first she is soon writing Corgan's biography as he passes it on to her. Corgan fears for Marissa having seen a future for her he could not abide and hopes that by being nearby fate can be thwarted. Romance between Corgan and Marissa is a given but how the two will change her dire future requires a few wizard's, Corgan's vampire maker and a whole lot of planning, strength and cunning. I believe this is a story that will appeal to Young and New Adult readers who like books filled with fantasy, romance and action. I felt that there could have been a bit more description of some scenes but that all in all the story was well written and plotted and would like to thank the author for the ARC she provided. This is my honest review.by Cathy Geha on March 22, 2017

Good for YA and TeensSo, 'A Vampire's Tale' the description alone in the beginning set an alarm ringing in my head, those who remember 'Interview with the Vampire' a bicentennial vampire who was eager to tell his past to a biographer. Corgan Halton also an ancient vampire wants his story to be told by Marisa Clements who is a struggling writer. Corgan can see the future and fears for Marisa life who he has grown to care for. Something else reminds me of another story of like Marisa, she is able to shut Corgan out of her head which no one else had the ability to do before. I heard of something like this before, I got my finger on it but will not push. I personally know the struggles of not wanting to give to much away but also tell the reader just enough so they will be interested but it doesn't always come out, per-say how we may wanted it to. So it took a lot of thought before reading the book and let me say, the description was entirely accurate but at the same time was not. It was though in its self an original story you will see in there as you read. Though description I feel discourages a reader from taking a chance if you are familiar with the classics and the new vampire story's. You will see a familiar rendering, but this reader took a chance.... Other than that it's a action story with just enough romance that's also filled with inventive imagination writing filled with fulfillment of mysterious events. Maya Tyler vampire book has at least ventured away from stupid original blood sucking sex and kept it a little humor. That I can enjoy a fresher perspective on are favorite supernatural creatures of the night. But this is sadly for me where it ends and starts to become another cliche and all to familiar sounding writers choice, Corgan swore to protect Marissa from harm, from the other evil vampires, another all to familiar plot choice. Anyway, it's not that long to get through but besides the familiarities and if you can get your mind past it, its a easy read. It's just not the book for me. I like to read something with fresh ideas, and it showed that it had potential but what ruins it for me is the time and again, age old story not told or spun much different. Like re-reading the same book(s) but different author for umpteenth time. For those who aren't bothered reading with that in mind, see what Corgan past was like and where his future will take you. If you are fan of Twilight by Stephanie Meyer or The House of Night by P.C Cast and Kristin Cast you may enjoy Vampire's Tales. It's a chance I recommend if your fan of these series or anything similar as I mentioned above.by Oh My Bookness on November 29, 2017

A Vampire's TaleA Vampire's Tale initially reminded me of An Interview with a Vampire as the premise was similar - an old vampire with a story to tell, a young writer chosen and spoken to exclusively. However, as the story starts it is plain to see that this is a completely different story. Corgan wants to tell his story so that he can 'face the sun'. He's lived a long time and has had enough. Marisa is only 23-years-old and is scraping by on her living as a fiction writer. These two come together, but love and war make an appearance too, and Corgan hasn't been telling Marisa the whole truth. This book was well written, although I found it to be a bit disjointed at times. There are quite a few scenes where Marisa is monologuing, or describing her dreams, some of which seemed to have no bearing upon the story except to emphasise that she had strange dreams! It moves with a swift pace, and situations are sometimes upon you before you realise it. It is a different take on the vampire/virgin story, so I would recommend it for anyone wanting something that differs from the norm. * A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review.

Bitcoin / Blockchain Mania
Wow what a ride in Bitcoin, Ethereum etc in the last day. This really shouldn't be a surprise considering the amount of new wallets created on Thanksgiving. As we figured the Thanksgiving discussions convinced more than a few people to dive into the Hot Crypto Waters! Bitcoin reached new heights trading up to nearly $11,300. Then it proceeded to drop to nearly $9000 before settling in near $10k again. If you think about it, pretty fundamental the move based upon the lack of supply and all the new accounts created in the last week as Coinbase has more users than Schwab now! Here is the chart:
We are quite sure many are going to bash this mania and compare it to the good ole Tulip mania of the 1630s. Don't fall for it, they are nowhere near the same and for most, many just use it as a simple analogy, when in fact many don't even understand the driving forces of the mania back then. Notably the fact that people back then were just beginning to garden in a way that wasn't just for sustenance, but rather for display, notoriety and status. Much like collecting art and we all know how much someone paid last week for such a collectible, now don't we.
So the mania back then was more akin to a new and exciting phenomenon, but that is where the comparison ends. Tulips are organic, expire and certainly not easily transferred around the globe, nor are they able to be chopped into tiny decimals that still bear the same characteristics and properties of the original...We can go on and on what our investors and readers need to know, is that this Blockchain mania is not a mania at all, rather it is a direct result of the countless ineptitude of our overlords in government. The people are saying we have had enough of your debasement and there is now an alternative way of doing things. Nobody knows the future, nobody knows exactly where this story ends, but we want are readers to be reassured with, is that this Blockchain technology is like no other and the establishment is indeed scared. Why, because there is nothing they can do, like the prior letter we penned entitled "Bitcoin exists everywhere and nowhere," stated it's decentralized and cannot be stopped. We can go on and on and on, but when millions start to catch on, we will then see the true power, as for now, it's just in its infancy.
Remember the good old economic principle of supply and demand? Now think of the fact that in total there are only 16 million or so Bitcoin and Billions of people. Then think of the possibilities and to all the Naysayers saying Bitcoin can disrupt financial and economic systems and should be eliminated. Your shadow banking derivatives are in the 100s of Trillions and when those collapse, they will bring down the entire Ponzi. Bitcoin is only worth a bit over $150Bln so if this thing collapses, the ECB and BOJ can merely recover that in 2 months of QE.
What the establishment really wants to say is that if this thing gets any bigger, their Ponzi collapses and that's the real fear. Did anyone see Stiglitz on Bloomberg, damn did he look worried...So take solace in the fact that these heavy hitters will bash it all day long, call it a fraud, call it a bubble, call it tulips, but in reality, they know the truth. The truth is their assets valued in dollars are rising because the dollar and all fiats are losing power and Bitcoin and crypto are like pouring gasoline on that fire. That's the truth and you heard it all hear first!
Speaking of bubbles check out these charts:
SP500 hit our yearend target on news of Tax Plan passage, which will obviously be a buy the rumor sell the fact:
Then there is this chart of the SP500 + US 30YR bond which we use as a passive stock/bond long both only gauge, which is now at the top end of a 2yr trendline and peeking out a bit:
"Let the truth be told and shall you spread it to all your patrons, for in life honesty is the beacon of light and by shining it upon us all, fear and darkness defeated" –Mike Agne
Finally, we will decidedly end our notes with our reaffirmation of the growing need for alternative strategies. We would like to think that our alternative view on markets is consistent with our preference for alternative risk and alpha driven strategies. Alternatives offer the investor a unique opportunity at non correlated returns and overall risk diversification. We believe combining traditional strategies with an alternative solution gives an investor a well-rounded approach to managing their long term portfolio. With the growing concentration of risk involved in passive index funds, with newly created artificial intelligence led investing and overall market illiquidity in times of market stress, alternatives can offset some of these risks.
It is our goal to keep you abreast of all the growing market risks as well as keep you aligned with potential alternative strategies to combat such risks. We hope you stay the course with us, ask more questions and become accustomed to looking at the markets from the same scope we do. Feel free to point out any inconsistencies, any questions that relate to the topics we talk about or even suggest certain markets that you may want more color upon.

W32.Antiqfx.worm or AntiQFX is a 32bit worm which requires a network connection to propagate.
AntiQFX is a 32bit worm which requires a network connection to propagate. It has been reported by at least one client in the United Kingdom at the time of this description.
The worm exists on systems as a rogue copy of a file named "MSCDEX.EXE" and is compressed using PEPACK v.99 of size 114,688 bytes. The icon for this file is the one used for standard MS-DOS executables such as COMMAND.COM or EXTRACT.EXE. The worm uses network connectivity and implements procedure calls in MPR.DLL to locate available systems on a network to propagate itself similar to W32/ExploreZip.worm. The following paths are used if available:
\winnt\profiles\Administrator\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\mscdex.exe
\winnt\profiles\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\mscdex.exe
\windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\mscdex.exe
On the next reboot of the affected system, the registry is modified to load this file when MSCDEX.EXE is executed from the startup location. The following registry locations are modified with the key "cdrom":
software\Microsoft\windows\currentVersion\RunServices cdrom = c:\mscdex.exe
software\Microsoft\windows\currentVersion\RunOnce cdrom = c:\mscdex.exe
software\Microsoft\windows\currentVersion\Run cdrom = c:\mscdex.exe

War Eagle Trail is a 1.5 mile lightly trafficked out and back trail located near Huntsville, Arkansas that features a river and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
dogs on leash
kid friendly
nature trips
trail running
wild flowers
Directions from Huntsville: Travel five miles north on Arkansas Hwy. 23 until you reach the Withrow Springs State Park.
Great little hike! The cave was cool, even though it's closed. You can scramble down to the creek to the right of it and watch the water come out from the inside of the cave. Very pretty. Lots of cool bluffs and a nice shaded amphitheater-like place. The bluffs overlooking the creek were just beautiful. Good spot for lunch. We had a cool breeze and saw lots of wildlife. The overlooks were pretty, too, but the bluffs were my favorite part. Definitely worth checking out. So many awesome features packed into a short, fun hike.
Great little trail! definitely need to be careful in spots. The cave entrance is a cool spot for pictures and plenty of nice views of the bluffs and river.
Definitely will go again Me and my wife enjoyed camping and hiking
I wish it was longer! Lots of beauty! I was surprised
Max M.
Three stars for me means a nice trail that I would do again. It's not the ideal trail for young children, as there are some precarious bluffs where the trail is literally on the edge. We stopped and had lunch on a nice bluff with a great view. We made it down to the water so the kids could play around with the dog, and there weren't many others out there. We encountered a fallen tree over the trail on our way in, and on our way out, there were some staff cutting it down. So it's maintained nicely, and def worth the 30 min drive from Fay.
Great little trail that takes about an hour even stopping for pics. Nice view and saw some deer.
Trailhead and parking a little confusing. Park in gravel lot by bridge, trail goes under bridge.
Wow. Just gorgeous. It's a short, easy hike with some steep up (or down, depending). Lots of slick rocks, but nothing you can't handle with some care. The views of the creek and the surrounding woods/pasture are breathtaking, even on a cloudy, drizzly day.
I was accompanied by a fearless, overly-energetic mountain goat on a leash (i.e. my dog), and he heard the words "Wait" and "EASY!" a lot. And even though he is a very good boy, there were several opportunities for him to go hurting off the bluff into the creek. I'd consider a leash for any children on this hike too!
The directions here on the site will take you into the park, which is fine. We started on the other end of the trail, though. There's a sign on 23, right after you cross over the creek, for War Eagle Trail Parking. Turn left at that sign, and turn left immediately (going straight takes you to campsites). Park by the Information sign, and take the little trail that runs under the bridge. You'll come to a sign for the trailhead. This works well, because you can easily continue on to the Dogwood trail loop, then head back on War Eagle trail to your car.
Great trail for being so short. The cave is closed to protect the bats from White Nose Syndrome. There is a safety cable to protect you from falling at one point, it is too lose and should not be trusted.
Beautiful hike, but the signage to the entrances are not very good. Although labeled as moderate, there are some very steep inclines on rather slippery terrain. Well worth the effort!
Great little hike that's not too far from Fayetteville (only about half the distance as the Buffalo River Trails).
Loved the pasture views from the top. Definitely go in the morning or evening if you want good photos. Will definitely hike again with friends and beginners.
Nice trail with great views. Wear proper footwear. Can be very slick in some areas.
The beautiful views were worth the trek to the top. It was slippery down at the bottom when you first get started, and the incline is pretty intense. But the whole thing is not very long and the views are great. If you continue on the Dogwood Trial, be sure to bring a map. We went the wrong way and ended up out on the highway and had to walk it back. Would not recommend that part!
For a short, quick trail in NWA... I am giving this one a 5 star. I wasn't expecting too much for this trail, but I ended up getting two scenic spots that made the trip worth it. I love the bluffs over the river 1/2 way up the trail. The water looks fun, and if I had my swimming suit I can imagine spending more time here. The overlook at the top was more than I had imagined. I was completely impressed. The trail ends at Highway 23. You are supposed to turn around and hike back down. I chose to walk down Highway 23 back to my car. This was my 4th event on July 18. In addition to this trail... I also hiked Shaddox Hollow Trail, visited War Eagle Mill and toured the War Eagle Cavern ALL on the same day.
Went on this hike with my wife and two friends. They all enjoyed the swimming at the bridge and about 3/4 up the trail. The trail was an easy hike and it was amazing to see how high the creek had got from our past rains. Plan on making a return trip to this location and explore the other trails in the park as well.
Hiked this trail in late March on an unfortunately rainy day but still enjoyed myself. The rocks in certain areas were very slick because of the rain and the trail was muddy in some spots. The view at the top of the trail, looking out over the river, is incredible. The cave at the bottom near the river was closed. I believe it has something to do with the bats and White-nose Syndrome. All-in-all a great trail!
We did this trail in Jan. We have five children and they did fine but it is extremely narrow in many areas. Additionally if its wet you will need good grip shoes because there are narrow areas with rock which would be slippery. All n all, great river views, short hike, and take time to walk to the edges and just look at the rock formations along the river! We did not do the trail from the trailhead we did it from the end. Dogwood trail is directly at the end you can loop through it and come back or as we did stopped for lunch and then did it. There is also other trails in the park. I recommend checking out their trail maps we kept busy .
Pretty good hike...have to watch the drop offs and the narrow trail at times. There is a pretty good geocache on this trail as well if you do that :)
I was a bit worried that this trail wouldn't be as interesting since I was hiking it in the winter, but those views of the river were absolutely amazing! I'm sure its even more beautiful in the spring or fall especially, but it's definitely a great winter trail as well!
A really pretty hike! If you sit down by the river and wait a while, you might see kayakers paddling by. The little cave is closed because of an effort to protect the bats. Several cave populations of bats have been getting a fungus that disturbs them from their winter hibernation, and then they starve to death, since they wake up to early... So the closed cave is to help prevent this from spreading...

We went to the lower access/parking area for war eagle trail, map said that the trail began on the other side of the 23. You cannot see any signs because you have to take the small path under the road bridge to the start of the trail. The trail is rated moderate, but due to the extremely narrow pathway,generally with a 20-30 foot drop on the one side and if like today the rock is wet it is extremely slippery.
(check out photos)
After you get through the really narrow stuff and pass the "cave", yes it is there with a closed sign, the trail starts to climb and widen, will give you a good cardio workout. There are two or three interesting spots/lookouts on the way up until you get to a rest bench, this is sort of the end of the trail at .5 mile.
Keep going on the trail up to the park area and the 23 again .25mile, so war eagle trail is really 1.5 miles there and back unless you turn back at the bench then 1 mile.
We crossed the road to find the trailhead for the Dogwood trail loop .75 mile
its sort of like the eye of a needle, through the woods to the beginning of the eye, it is easier if you go left and walk down through the steep rough part, much easier wider climb coming back on the other side.
War eagle has white marked trees and Dogwood has Red.
All in all a very short, ( both trails together total 2.25 miles according to my GPS) varied and pretty walk with plenty of interesting scenery and features.
If you are NOT reasonably fit and mobile or have young children, I personally would not recommend it!
This is a walk we will do again when the autumn colors come in ;-)
Great hike!
We had a great Sabbath day to get out and enjoy this hike. We started off at the parking area by the bridge and headed off. The trail looks to be used quite often as it runs by War Eagle Creek. Not much water flowing today so the creek was shallow but clear. The cave along the was looked interesting however it was closed. We continued on along the bluff line. Parents, watch your kids from here on, there are some very steep places along the way. As you head up the hill mid way through the hike, the views are amazing. Enjoy!
War Eagle Trail is located near Withrow Springs State Park. It's a fairly short hike and has a few treacherous spots (especially for those who are sure-footed...or little kids). A couple of areas require you to traverse a ledge that has had pole and wire railing installed. We hiked on a drizzly day so the rock face was a little slick...my daughter slipped and ended up losing her brand new hiking stick as it tumbled over the ledge. We still had a great time and enjoy a sack lunch at the top of the overlook of War Eagle Creek. We made it back to the trailhead via HWY 23 in about an hour. There is a small cave and a large cave (which were barricaded due to the spread of White-Nose syndrome spreading to bats. All in all its a decent hike if you're in the Huntsville area.
hiked the trail in late fall, leaves were off, great view over the valley on the bluff. Small cave was nice highlight. Pleasant short hike.
Elizabeth G.
The creek running alongside the trail makes for a scenic hike, but the noise from the highway takes away from the peace. If the one-mile-in hike is too short for you, you can easily jump on the Dogwood Trail (.75 mi in, 1.5 in and out total) that is across the highway.

The Black Lillies
1281 Gruene Rd
New Braunfels, TX 78130
Doors: 7pm
Opener: Dustin Schaefer 8pm
The Black Lillies: 9:30pm
The Black Lillies are a band for the ages: rich, rootsy tunes performed with as much heart as technical virtuosity.
If you ask them, they'll tell you they play "Tennessee music" – combining strains of swampy Memphis soul and blues with Nashville's classic country and East Tennessee's traditional Appalachian style – while Rolling Stone describes it as "country music with a soul-rock infusion, supported by bandleader Cruz Contreras' smart songwriting and tight musicianship."
Either way, it's music that stirs your soul, touches your heart and makes you want to dance.
In 2015 the band released their fourth album, Hard to Please (Attack Monkey/Thirty Tigers), which American Songwriter sums up as "a soulful mix of upbeat Americana and tender ballads," while Vanity Fair notes "their sound continues to cross generations and musical genres – country, folk, blues and add in a touch of the Dead, for good measure."

Of course it does! As a two time cancer patient, I heartily verify that! BUT--would you rather live your life fully, enjoying each day for the good things that happen, or wallow in pity and worry, wasting the time you have left? We ALL will die sometime, afterall. I try hard NOT to worry, but to find something good that happens each day I'm here. How about it?

After the Cancer the Worry Remains
http:[email redacted]
5 Answers from the Community5 answers
You'd be unusual if it didn't! I've had two reoccurances in three years and am once again cancer free. Sometimes I can't help but feel afraid and worried.....but for the most part I try to focus on today and not think too far ahead. It's when I think about where will I be in, say, two years that I begin to get stressed. So I don't do that very often. My advise is to enjoy every day as it happens, try to find something funny, wonderful, exciting, ordinary and think about that before you go to sleep at night. Life is amazing - I think we realize that more than the average person - so remind yourself often of that! And then when the time comes around for the followup scan, bloodwork etc, allow yourself to be worried for those couple of weeks until the results come back!

This is a blog post by Leslie Long, Autism Speaks Director of Adult Services. Leslie recently attended a meeting of residential service providers and here she stresses the importance of securing residential services for young adults and adults with autism.
I recently had the pleasure of attending an annual meeting in Pittsburgh of a group of experts that serve adults with autism in homes throughout the country. This membership group is called NARPAA, and it is an acronym that only the most savvy autism provider knows. It stands for the National Association of Residential Providers for Adults with Autism (NARPAA). The group has approximately 25 members and has been in existence for over 15 years. They are the living and breathing experience of supporting adults with autism. At Autism Speaks, we understand that there is a critical shortage of housing options for adults with autism and we want to listen to as many solutions and barriers as possible to help us understand the needs of the whole community. We are bound to groups like NARPAA to help solve the housing crisis. NARPAA represents support models across the country that range from supported living to rural, farmstead settings. The group comes together to meet once a year to share their wisdom and experience and we want to be at the table when they share promising practices and challenges.
Issues differ from state to state and they are sometimes the first to learn how a new policy will impact support for adults with autism. As thousands of adults with autism and their families are experiencing, developing and maintaining a home is not an easy task. There are many different issues to consider that include but is not limited to capital costs, operating costs, support services, etc. We sometimes forget to ask the people that have been handling this complicated part of adult services for the longest. At the meeting in Pittsburgh, discussion focused on diminishing state and federal budgets, the increasing demand for residential support for adults with autism, new and restrictive regulations and how they can continue to lead their organizations with a focus on quality of life for adults with autism. I, along with my colleagues at Autism Speaks, am always impressed by their candor and due diligence when we attend their meetings and the Pittsburgh meeting was no different. The Autism Speaks National Market Survey on Housing and Residential Supports was put on their agenda for this meeting. We appreciate being part of their group and thank them for helping us spread the word on the importance of getting all perspectives. We know how important it is to understand the provider perspective as well as the individual and family perspective because this community cannot work in isolation of each other's efforts.

Mechanisation with water power (Waterwheel) and steam power (Steam turbine) is considered to as the 1st industrial revolution during 18th/19th century. Mass production on assembly lines and electrification is considered as the 2nd industrial revolution that started in early 20th century. During late 1980s the advent of computers and robotics with CAD/CAM/CAE is considered to be the 3rd industrial revolution and now the birth of interconnected cyber physical systems also popularly known as Internet of Things is being marketed as the 4th industrial revolution – Industry 4.0.
The Industry 4.0 will surely be a game changer is interconnecting machines, devices and equipment. I get reminded of the Terminator trilogy, since the ones developing Industry 4.0 intrinsically believing to be intellectually superior to the ones working on the shop floor dirtying their hands, may lead companies investing in technologies that ultimately may be bypassed. I foresee this as a reality, since today with most on my manufacturing clients, the automatic monitoring of the machine utilisation hardly works; there is always a reason – the normally underestimated operators are generally very smart and wouldn't like to be monitored. Of course, the reality is quite different where the honest purpose of monitoring is either safety or quality.
Even in my corporate role, when I was leading the advance development of manufacturing technologies, Industry 4.0, being one of the areas, we achieved significant success only when either the sole purpose was to better quality and ensure safety. I saw many solutions we had developed in early 2000s being packaged under the recent Industry 4.0 video. I believe Industry 4.0 is just an extension of CAD/CAM/CAE combined with closed loop control for quality and safety related issues.
However, when it comes to operations, where even today in most of the factories manually entered log books, inspection records, lot cards, etc. is a still reality and the HMI: Human Machine Interface for the data entry workstations is mostly through a keyboard and some with touchpads. I believe a technology leap in the HMI space will be needed to seamlessly capture the extremely important "Shop Floor Noises" to reap true benefits from Industry 4.0.
I use a Samsung Note and even with sketching, noting, handwriting recognition, voice input and auto transcription of voice recording, I find it extremely difficult to explain and make notes electronically. I am sure the Setters and Operators will find it even more difficult. I have noted some of the recurring extremely important data for predictive analytics to support in decision making – so that the true potential of Industry 4.0 can be unlocked and it can truly become the 4th Industrial Revolution.
I really wish that the Industry 4.0 brains will focus in enhancing the throughput significantly by eliminating the additional work of the shop floor personnel instead of focussing on automation, normally resulting in surplus workforce.
Happy reading!

I like this mock ring idea, many times I was tempted to try this one but steered away from it. Well Played :)ReplyDelete
My first thought at seeing motif 11 was to wonder if you could tat a long chain and let it twist. I don't have the book, but I think I'll play with the concept a bit today and see how it turns out.ReplyDeleteReplies
That idea occurred to me too. I thought you could use a crocodile join to form a ring. I'd be interested to see your experiments.Delete
Great motif!! :)ReplyDelete
i've taken some in-progress photos and will try to post them this evening. I thought about the alligator join, but I opted for joining as for layered rings.ReplyDelete
That almost looks like a Tudor rose!ReplyDelete
Very nice! So symmetrical.ReplyDelete
I like this motif very much, but just can't see how the mock rings were worked! I thought I understood the concept ever since tatting one of Ginny Weather's Christmas decorations. In that pattern the mock ring made "pie slices"- but I suppose it's just another example of my being completely unable to read a map!ReplyDeleteReplies
If you look down to motif 11, I gave a fuller description of how I worked the mock ring. It's just a long chain, joined back to itself to make a ring.Delete

This would mean a simpler structure of suites, easier to understand and maintain. If we want to have a MATS suite for instance, we would not need an embedded_MATS suite and a client_MATS suite and so forth to build the structure. * It would be good if as little as possible (ideally no) magic was performed on a suite level. Tests should behave the same way when executed through the lowest level "leaf" suite as when executed as part of "derbyall", making it easier to reproduce problems. How could this be accomplished? Handle everything related to frameworks and configuration on a "leaf" level, I believe this could be done in the suite() method in each TestCase. Just add each Test once for each framework that this run is configured to use, using the correct decorator. If a test is not supposed to be run for a given framework, that information should be maintained in that TestCase in some way, so that test is not added for that framework. Default would be to run all Tests in all frameworks. This would mean that when executing a single TestCase class (or suite) with a junit runner, the default behaviour could be to run with all (supported) frameworks if that is what is most common. Running with just a selected framework could be possible with a system property. Vemund

The Manduka eKO series is made of 100% natural rubber (rubber tree) and this makes it the next generation in ecological yoga mats. The eKO series is Manduka's biodegradable yoga mat with an exceptional anti-slip surface. The mat also offers a good grip after light and moderate transpiration. The top side of the mat has a closed cell structure with an anti-slip structure made of eelgrass, while the bottom side has an open cell structure as to provide for an optimal elasticity. Manduka is proud to announce that the Manduka eKO mat was produced without using toxic glue or foam, and that these mats are much more sustainable than other rubber mats on the current market.
From a standpoint to produce ultra hygienic yoga mats, Manduka has chose to supply the top sides of their eKO mats with a closed cell structure. This means that the mat won't absorb fluids and sweat. This is a unique function when compared to a lot of other rubber yoga mats. This makes this mat a hygienic yoga mat with a longer lifetime. A rubber yoga mat with an open cell structure works as if it were a sponge and shall hold fluids and sweat, leading to a lot of hygienic discomforts.
The Manduka PRO series is known as the Taj Mahal of the yoga mats. The PRO series is the most sustainable mat available these days. This mat has a guaranteed sustainability of over ten years. It is made of a ecologically certified PVC and it's produced free of emission. That is why this mat is a sustainable and eco friendly choice. The surface has a fabric-like finishing touch, which makes for a good anti-slip surface, even when it becomes moist due to slight transpiration. The Manduka PRO mat possesses the tightest structure available on the market. This leads to good elasticity for optimal comfort and support. The PRO series has been designed for at least one or two human lives, due to a lifelong warranty.
Everybody deserves their own yoga mat that suits their needs. Every form of yoga practice and training is personal, as is the same with choosing the perfect yoga mat. Having just the right yoga mat beneath your feet enables you to fully focus on your exercises without any distraction.
To satisfy the individual needs of our customers, Manduka has developed several high grade yoga mats, every single one of them having their own unique qualities. This gives Manduka the notion that it has the right solution for everyone.
Most yoga mats that are made of natural rubber function as sponges, because of an open cell structure. This is because of the production process in which the mats are made more airy. This is also an important reason why most yoga mats made of natural rubber are less sustainable. Because of this, a lot of ecologically friendly yoga mats crumble, run dry faster or become too elastic. This process is sped up when mats are exposed to humidity or sunlight.
To solve the problem above, Manduka developed the eKO mat, consisting of various layers. These layers each have their own unique characteristics so that they can take care of maximal sustainability, in conjunction with elasticity and grip. The top layer is more elastic and sustainable than regular rubber mats and is especially made for maximal performance and life span of the mat. The bottom layer is more like a sponge to provide for optimal comfort and elasticity.
In contrast to TPE yoga mats (ecologically friendly yoga mats on a petrochemical basis), Manduka eKO mats won't have curled corners, leading to a flatter mat.
The Manduka eKO mat is made of 100% natural rubber. The rubber used to produce these eKO mats is not from the Amazon basin. Apart from the performance and sustainability of the eKO mat, this mat distinguishes itself from other mats due to the production process. Manduka makes sure that no toxic substances are used, which are used by other producers to make mats more elastic. This means that the Manduka eKO mat shall not leave any toxins behind when it is destroyed.
Both the eKO mat and the Black Mat PRO have been designed and produced by yoga teachers to create the optimal surface for your daily yoga exercises. The biggest differences are to be found in the characteristics of the various materials used. This is also the reason why we can offer a lifelong warranty for the Black Mat PRO.
These days, there is not a single yoga mat on the market that can compare to the Manduka Black Mat PRO on the fields of life span, comfort and performance. The eKO mat is 1 mm thinner than the Black Mat PRO.
The Manduka eKO mat has been made with the goal to be the most sustainable natural rubber yoga mat available on the current market. The eKO mat consists of two different layers to provide for optimal comfort and sustainability. When compared to the Black Mat Pro, the eKO mat's firm top layer in conjunction with a softer bottom layer provides for a unique feeling on the mat.
TPE mats that are produced on a petrochemical basis will wear more quickly, leading them to end up on the scrap heap faster and in higher numbers. When binding the surface of a TPE mat, a toxin-containing glue is used, which emits a strong odour that does not disappear.
TPE is short for Thermoplastic Elastomer. It was shown that TPE can exist in various compositions. This is usually a combination of rubber and plastic.
The Manduka eKO mat distinguishes itself in sustainability, natural materials and the scent that disappears after a short time.
Oxidation (or change in colour) is a natural process, as is with all natural products. By storing your eKO mat in a dry place and not exposing it to direct sunlight, you can make sure that your mat goes with for a long time. To remove a possible foil layer or discolouration due to oxidation we advise you to scrub the mat lightly with a mixture of 50% water and 50% biological vinegar, or with the Manduka Mat Restore. After cleaning, we advise you to rinse the mat with clear water and subsequently leaving the mat to dry on a washing line or drying rack.
ATTENTION! Do not let the mat dry in direct sunlight.
ATTENTION! The eKO mat cannot be washed in the washing machine.
The eKO mat can discolour due to oxidation. This needn't decrease its performance.
As a consequence of the unique characteristics and the texture of the surface, this mat offers a good grip at light and medium transpiration. In the case that you sweat excessively, we advise you to combine the eKO mat with the Manduka eQua Towel. This towel too is made of ecologically friendly microfiber material.
All rubber mats have a certain scent because of the composition of natural rubber. The Manduka eKO mat has been designed in such a way that the scent disappears over the course of time. The scent shall decrease significantly within two to three weeks. To speed this process up, we advise you to leave the mat unrolled for a while. Do mind that you do not leave the mat in direct sunlight for a long time. Another way is to clean the mat with Mat Restore by Manduka.
It is important to know that the scent comes from a natural material, not from gases or toxic chemical substances.
It is best to clean the eKO mat with a natural detergent. We advise you to clean the mat with a mixture of 50% biological vinegar or cider and 50% water. Subsequently, rinse the mat with clear water (tap water). We advise you not to put the mat in the washing machine, as it shall speed up the degradation of the mat.
ATTENTION! Do not expose the mat to large quantities of direct sunlight. This may speed up the oxidation process and alter the composition of the mat, causing it to lose its unique qualities.
Because of the production process, the Manduka eKO mat is for 99% free of latex and hence safe to use by people who are oversensitive to latex. In the case that you are also sensitive to traces of latex, we advise you to buy a yoga mat from the Manduka PRO series.
The Manduka eKO series is made of 100% natural rubber (rubber tree) and this makes it the next generation in ecological yoga mats. The Manduka eKO mats or Manduka's biodegradable yoga mat

Thrust-related dome structures in the Karibib district and the origin of orthogonal fabric domains in the south Central Zone of the Pan-African Damara belt, Namibia
The high-grade metamorphic south Central Zone (sCZ) exposes an oblique crustal section through the internal parts of the Pan-African Damara belt in Namibia. The structural pattern of the south Central Zone is characterized by kilometer-scale, northeast-trending dome structures for which a number of different origins have been proposed. Detailed structural mapping of the Karibib and Usakos domes in the Karibib district indicates an origin of the two domes as large tip-line folds located above blind thrusts. The two domes are overridden from the southeast by a crystalline thrust sheet along the Mon Repos thrust zone and the thrusts and associated folds form part of a deeply-eroded, foreland- (northwest-) vergent fold-and-thrust belt. Intrusive relationships of syn- and post-tectonic granitoids constrain the timing of thrusting to between 550 and 540 Ma, corresponding to the main phase of collisional tectonics in the Damara belt. On a regional scale, the south Central Zone is underlain by two orthogonal fabric domains. Northwest-vergent tectonic transport, documented in this study, dominates the lower amphibolite-facies northeastern parts of the south Central Zone. In contrast, a southwest-directed orogen-parallel extrusion is widely documented for the lower structural levels of the upper-amphibolite- to granulite-facies southwestern parts of the south Central Zone that contain voluminous synkinematic granites and widespread migmatization. Fabric development in the two orthogonal domains can be shown to be contemporaneous and related to the main collision between the Congo and Kalahari cratons at ca. 540-550 Ma. We suggest that the formation of the two orthogonal fabric domains represents the different crustal response of the rheologically layered crust to the late-Proterozoic crustal shortening. At shallower crustal levels, shortening of sufficiently strong crust in the Karibib district resulted in vertical thickening and orogen-normal folding and thrust transport. Shortening of the deeper levels of the sCZ resulted in pure shear deformation of the rheologically weakened and partially molten crust and the lateral, orogen-parallel displacement of rocks. © 2004 Elsevier B.V.

National Study Shows Americans Continue to Spend More Time Grilling Outdoors
Mar 09, 2011, 04:12 EST
PALATINE, Ill., March 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- An annual nationwide study reveals that 7 percent of Americans report spending more than 10 hours each week cooking outdoors during their "grilling season." With this, almost half (49 percent) of all study respondents cite that they grill or smoke-cook year-round, including 37 percent at or below freezing temperatures.
The 22nd annual Weber GrillWatch Survey™—the nation's first and foremost study on who, what, where and why Americans grill—also shows that US grill and smoker owners cook an average of five hours per week. Additionally, 22 percent overall say they are grilling "more" this year compared to last. All this indicates the increasing zeal for outdoor cooking.
Importance of Entertaining Outdoors
Nearly 78 percent of US grill and or smoker owners say that grilling is an "extremely important" or "pretty important" activity when entertaining guests at their home. Among those who grill primarily on charcoal (who also tend to be more passionate about grilling overall), an impressive 92 percent agree with either statement.
Nearly one-fourth of Weber GrillWatch Survey respondents hosted at least five barbecue parties during summer 2010.
Meals and Foods Grilled
Dinner remains as the primary meal grilled on a regular basis (89 percent), followed by lunch (35 percent) and breakfast (3 percent). Although eight out of 10 grillers respond that they have never grilled breakfast outdoors, more than half of them are interested in learning.
Here are the top five foods grilled most often during the last year:
- Hamburgers (69 percent)
- Steak (46 percent)
- Chicken pieces (42 percent)
- Hot dogs (39 percent)
- Ribs (17 percent)
2011 Weber GrillWatch Survey respondents cite these five foods as the "most challenging" to grill:
- Desserts (34 percent)
- Tie for second: Fish and pizza (both at 27 percent)
- Shellfish (25 percent)
- Fruits (22 percent)
While 96 percent of all Americans grill burgers outdoors, beef burgers are the country's favorite at 93 percent, followed by turkey (14 percent) and vegetables (6 percent). Favorite burger toppings rank as onions (62 percent), tomatoes, (61 percent), lettuce and ketchup (both 59 percent), and then mustard (50 percent).
Other Newsworthy Grilling Facts from the 2011 Weber GrillWatch Survey:
- Currently, 71 percent of all Americans (21 and older) own an outdoor grill and or smoker:
- The majority own a gas grill (67 percent). Of these, 7 percent use a natural gas line vs. a propane tank grill
- Forty-six percent own a charcoal grill
- Ten percent own a smoker
- Four percent own an outdoor electric grill
- Thirty percent of American grill owners own two or more outdoor grills or smokers, which is down 5 percentage points from 35 percent in 2010; 5 percent own three or more which is down from 6 percent.
- Although fewer are grilling away from home compared to last year (53 compared to 65 percent), campgrounds are the second favorite venue (37 percent), with parks followed at 28 percent, beaches at 18 percent, and tailgates close behind at 17 percent.
- US gas grill owners report these top features on their current grill: 52 percent have a side burner (down from 2010's 61 percent); 27 percent have a rotisserie (down from 2010's 32 percent); and 19 percent have a "Sear Zone" of some kind (up from 2010's 17 percent).
Other Newsworthy Grilling Facts from the 2011 Weber GrillWatch Survey, (continued):
- An overall 8 percent of all US grill owners say there are outdoor barbecue restrictions where they live: 25 percent of these report that gas grills aren't allowed, another 28 percent report that charcoal grills aren't allowed, and the remaining 47 percent report that there are no grills of any type allowed where they live. The majority of these respondents (13 percent) live in urban areas vs. those who live in rural or suburban areas of the country (7 percent).
- Nearly one out of every four Americans (24 percent) say they're using grilling accessories "more now than in the past," while one-third maintain same usage (33 percent).
- Men are still the primary griller in most US households (61 percent) with 20 percent of households reporting that it's a shared responsibility among men and women.
- Independence Day remains as the favorite grilling holiday at 81 percent, followed by birthdays at 67 percent, Labor Day at 66 percent, and Memorial Day (61 percent compared to last year's 71 percent). Father's Day is fifth this year at 48 percent.
Weber-Stephen Products LLC commissioned Toluna to field the 22nd Annual Weber GrillWatch Survey. A total of 1,000 grill owners throughout the United States completed the online survey. All respondents were age 21 or older and currently own a charcoal, gas or outdoor electric barbecue grill or smoker. The sample was divided between 50 percent males (n=500) and 50 percent females (n=500) and was balanced demographically to represent households across the US.

I've never heard of that...it sounds too simplistic to be true. I take a low dose aspirin every day to avoid heart/stroke problems.
Hemangiopericytoma Questions
low dose aspirin
Asked by reginak on Monday, June 10, 2013
low dose aspirin
Does taking low does aspirin reduce chances of cancer recurrence? One doc said yes, but I'd like to hear from others in this group.
4 Answers from the Community4 answers
This actually came up with my Oncologist several years ago. He told me at the time that there were no definitive studies that proved it but there was some interesting hypotheses about how it helped and with all of the other benefits to low does aspirin, he takes one daily. That being said anyone on active treatment should consult with their Dr before starting any med even over the counter meds like aspirin as there can be reactions or other bad effects.

(Alexandria, VA) – Even though taxpayers could count on several dozen lawmakers to consistently vote for limited government last year, Congress's swarm of "Big Spenders" ensured that heavy deficits and high tax burdens would continue to sting Americans. That's the unfortunate result of National Taxpayers Union's (NTU's) 34th annual Rating of Congress, the most thorough assessment of the Legislative Branch's fiscal performance available. The Rating, based on every roll call vote affecting federal taxes, spending, debt, and significant regulations, included 274 House and 127 Senate votes taken through January 1, 2013.
In the 2012 (and part of 2013) Rating, the average "Taxpayer Score" in the House remained at the rounded level of 50 percent. Thus, for the second year in a row the House mean has managed to reach the halfway mark – a feat not achieved since 1996. The Senate's average dipped six points, from 46 percent to 40 percent, over the same period. The Senate had an all-time low of 28 percent in 1988, and the House hit bottom that same year, at 27 percent. The highest marks were reached in 1995, when lower and upper chambers' averages were 58 percent and 57 percent, respectively.
In the last session of the 112th Congress, 55 lawmakers attained scores sufficient for an "A" grade (a minimum score of 84 percent in the House and 86 percent the Senate) and therefore won the "Taxpayers' Friend Award" – about the same who earned the honor in 2011. Yet, almost 200 Senators and Representatives were tagged with the title of "Big Spender" for posting "F" grades (20 percent or less in the House and 16 percent or less in the Senate). The record of 267 was reached in both 2008 and 2009.
On the House side, the best performer was Tom McClintock (R-CA), with 93 percent; though a consistently high scorer, this is his first time in the #1 spot. Close behind him with rounded scores of 92 percent were Justin Amash (R-MI) and Ron Paul (R-TX). Jim DeMint (R-SC), who has since retired from the Senate, was tops in his chamber at 98 percent. Mike Lee (R-UT) also posted a rounded 98 percent, but came in a fraction of a point lower than DeMint.
On the other end of the scale, Dale Kildee (D-MI) had the worst House score, at 7 percent. Kildee was the second-lowest scorer in 2011. The poorest Senate finish, at 6 percent, belonged to Tom Udall (D-NM).
Although Taxpayer Scores on the NTU Rating are issued objectively, without regard to political affiliation, the results do reflect a sharp partisan divide in Congress. Averages for Senate Democrats and Republicans were 11 percent and 72 percent respectively; in the House, the figures were 18 percent for Democrats and 75 percent for Republicans. These levels were roughly the same compared to 2011, except for the Senate GOP, which took a 12-point tumble.
Unlike those of other organizations, NTU's annual Rating does not focus on a mere handful of equally weighted "key votes," but on every roll call vote affecting fiscal policy – appropriation, authorization, and tax bills; budget target resolutions; amendments; and certain regulatory or procedural votes that could affect overburdened taxpayers. For this reason, NTU's Rating has received praise from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, including the late Sen. William Proxmire (D-WI), creator of the "Golden Fleece Award."
A Member of Congress's Taxpayer Score reflects his or her commitment to reducing or controlling federal spending, taxes, debt, and significant regulations.
"With Big Spenders outnumbering Taxpayers' Friends by nearly a four to one ratio in Congress, limited government was definitely not on the top of the legislative agenda last year," NTU President Duane Parde noted. "Going forward, lawmakers will need to vote more carefully if the Legislative Branch is to make better progress toward keeping federal deficits, debt, and taxes under control."
NTU is a nonprofit, nonpartisan citizen group founded in 1969 to work for lower taxes, limited government, and economic freedom at all levels. Note: A searchable database of Rating results from 1992 to 2012, as well as other presentations of Rating data, is available at www.ntu.org.
