College Financial Aid From the Government

How come financial aid is only for the really poor people in the United States? FAFSA only gives financial aid to low-income families.

Porter Cable Power Tools

Just because a family's income tax return says they made ,000 or more does not mean they have no other bills and can afford ,000 to ,000 towards their child's college tuition.

Porter Cable Power Tools

Everyone should be eligible for financial aid. FAFSA should be asking for a complete list of expenses of the family and comparing it to their actual income and assets and if there is no money left and they are just getting by, financial aid should be awarded to them.

I have found that you can have other children in private or catholic schools and paying their tuition and it is not taken into consideration when applying for college financing. How unfair is that to the people of the United States.

Why should a child have to take out loans for each year of college cause the government thinks their parents make enough money to contribute and pay for their tuition? Nothing is taken into consideration, other children at home, other tuition they are paying, their current monthly expenses, etc. How is that???? Hard working parents cannot get any free money for college tuition.

Then you have the non working parents, who have chosen not to work, not to go out and look for a job, on welfare and food stamps and their child can go to a university that costs ,000 a year and not pay a dime.

This is American the beautiful and equal opportunity for all???? Don't think so.

Try and get financial aid with both parents working. Not going to happen. Try and get financial aid with money in the bank and a house worth more than your mortgage owed, not going to happen.

It is us hard working Americans that get nothing for free in today's society. It is very sad and very disheartening.

There needs to be a change in how each child is looked at on a financial aid application. There should be money for everyone. Should not be just for the poor.

Parents needs to speak up, write to their congressman, write to the White House, something must be done with the college financial aid guidelines and programs that are offered. There is money out their for everyone to go to college, the government just needs to give a little to everyone and not all of it to a certain kind of people.

Finding The Correct Drywall Sander

Builders and finishers use drywall sanders to smooth newly prepared plastered walls. Sanding and preparing it may be the most frustrating and ugliest part in drywall installation, so choosing the right tools can help reduce the effort. Choose tools that depend on the size of the job, the layout of the wall and your estimated budget. Here are the tools and their intended purposes.

Porter Cable Power Tools

The manual sanding block is a handheld sanding tool that measures 2.75 inches (6.99cm) wide, 4 inches (10.16 cm) long and 1 inch (2.54 cm) high. It is mostly used for small jobs and repairs and available in medium and fine grits. It is also available in single and dual angles to prevent accidental sanding of opposite wall. For corners use a sanding sponge instead.

Porter Cable Power Tools

The porter cable drywall sanders are ones used by professional sanders. They are highly fast motorized sanders with 13 foot (almost 4 meters) extension to sand high walls and ceilings without using stool or ladders. The benefit of porter cable sanders is they sand large areas very quickly; however they are really heavy tools weighing 8 pounds (3.63 kilos) and are very pricey too, they cost an average of 0.00.

Orbital drywall sanders are hand-held motorized power tools. The sander is shaped like a disc and attached to a motor that swirls to remove the mudding compound of the drywall. They are ideal for self-repairs in homes. It comes only with extension cable and so you need a ladder to sand high walls and ceilings.

The dust-less (vacuum) turbo drywall sander is lightweight, inexpensive (0) sander that uses a vacuum to suck most of the dust created by sanding. It has a hose like a vacuum cleaner in addition to sanding device. Advantage of these is easier clean-ups and comes in rectangular head and extension cable to sand high places.

How to Make Your Back Feel Better

This part of the human body probably hurts more people around the world than any other part of the body. What is it? Your back. People complain about back pain all the time. Whether it be the upper back or the most common place for the pain to be, The lower back. Lower back pain is probably what most people experience.

Porter Cable Power Tools

Why do most people experience lower back pain? Because their stomach muscles are weak. The stomach muscles provide a foundation. The stronger the foundation, or the core as most doctors and chiropractors call it, the less back pain you will have.

Porter Cable Power Tools

If your core is not strong, your back will get strained. If your core is strong, the chances of hurting your back are much less.

Once you hurt your back, expect it to be prone to injury much more easily the next time. It will also take a while for you to heal as the your spine has a really crappy blood supply to it.

One of the best things you can do to avoid injuring your back is to make sure that your abdominal muscles are strong! This providing support and a great foundation for your back. And you might want to consider getting rid of that extra weight around your gut too. All that extra weight is constantly pulling you forward. Your back is continuously having to work to keep you straight. You should also make sure that good posture is there too. Those three things, a weak core, extra weight pulling you forward and bad posture, will give you a sore back or worse.

3 Best Corded Random Orbital Sanders

When you're searching for the best of the best look no further than these three random orbital sanders form Festool, Bosch and, Porter-Cable. With uncommon innovation and the stamp of lasting, trailblazing manufacturers, these models will breath new life into your sanding projects while also energizing users with smooth, high-performance.

Porter Cable Power Tools

Festool's ETS 125 EQ random orbit sander is a stunning and highly effective sanding machine. Serious woodworkers truly rejoice at this high-performance, sander that, while small, performs like a miracle to smooth out all of your rough patches. Ideal for one-handed sanding, the tool is extremely lightweight at only 2.4 lbs. Because of this lightweight and the sander's compact design, the tool is perfect for sanding from any position - extended vertical and overhead work is far less strenuous while also yielding uncommonly smooth results. With the finest sanding stroke at 5/64" (2.0mm) the 125 leaves both pre-sanding and finishing jobs surprisingly flush and smooth, and with a shockingly effective jet-stream dust extraction system, the tool delivers clean finishes and always clean operation. With a meticulously concentrated stream of air, this system ensures smoother, more flawless finishes and increases the life of your pads, abrasives, and the tool as well. The sander is highly balanced with low vibration for smooth operation and superfine finishes, and with variable speeds and a fast break stop, the tool is simple to control throughout any degree of use. It is hard to put this tool down and even harder to pick up another once you've experienced the Festool difference.

Porter Cable Power Tools

On another hand, Bosch's 3725DEVS random orbit sander/polisher is one of the more veritable tools on the market today offering craftsmen a multipurpose power tool that out performs much of its competition. The sander features a pad that both orbits and rotates to duplicate meticulous hand-sanding for the most smooth, perfectly blended surface finishes. The tool has an impressive 3.3 amp motor with variable speeds ranging from 4,5000 - 12,000 OPM. This ensures you'll always have the most adequate speed to compliment each workpiece or task. Being smooth and powerful, the sander is ideal for both delicate fine finishing, or aggressive removal, and built with a die-cast aluminum gear housing and exclusive dual-bearing pad mount, the 3725DEVS is long-lasting and offers extremely low vibration operation. Additionally, its through-the-pad dust extraction system sucks dust and debris away from the work surface to enhance precision and fine-finishing; by consequence, it also increases tool and accessory longevity. The tool is comfortable to operate and its front handle can be easily removed to provide greater sanding access in corners and tight spaces.

Additionally, Porter-Cable's 390K (5") low profile random orbit sander kit is a truly dreamy little sander. Providing craftsmen with optimized power, speed, and control over the most delicate and most aggressive projects the tool is as versatile as it is handsome. Its 3.5 amp motor utilizes EnduraTech technology to extend the tool's life by a quite astounding margin and also ensures optimal performance and durability for the life of the tool. The sander's low profile design brings the body of the sander much closer to the workpiece producing a brilliantly smooth finish and providing you, the operator, with superior contact and control. The tool has variable speed settings from 7,000 - 12,000 OPM for the most optimized removal rate, and a consistently brilliant finish to a variety of materials. The tool's mechanical brake pad dramatically reduces spin-down time essentially eliminating the gouge factor from your projects, and with highly efficient dust collection options, ultra smooth finishes, and comfortable ergonomics, the sander is, well, a miracle machine.

Experiencing the high-performance of these random orbital sanders is something every craftsmen should strive for. Not only are these models smooth and comfortable to operate, but they yield continuously beautiful results that will impress and gladden you with every use.

A palm nailer is a great tool for a seemingly endless number of applications. Ideal for improvement projects around the house or yard, and perfect for both small commercial carpentry and hobby projects, a palm nailer is both simple to use and powerfully reliable. Using a professional palm nailer for your projects ensures you achieve the most professional results, so if precise, professional, and durable are characteristics you'd like to see more of in your projects, the following palm nailers might be the component you've been waiting for.

Porter Cable Power Tools

Porter-Cable builds some of the greatest pneumatic tools available in the industry today, and the PN650 palm nailer is a fine example of their standard innovation and superior quality production. With the capacity to drive 1-1/4" to 6-1/2" nails (3d to 70d) the nailer is strikingly powerful for its small size. The tool weighs only 2.5 lbs, and with an ergonomic and compact design the tool is always comfortable in your hand. Depth of drive control provides craftsmen with greater control over each application and because the tool also has a glove with a padded Velcro strap (essentially a glove that fits over the nailer with a strap that wraps over the top of your hand rendering the nailer like an extension to your body) it is simple, comfortable, and nearly effortless to use. For optimized versatility the tool comes with four different nose tips: a no-mar finish tip for for finish nails up to 3d, a magnetic tip for driving common nails from 3d to16d, a standard tip for driving common nails up to 70d, and lastly, a steel hammer tip for moldings, dowels and even automotive body work. Altogether, the palm nailer is strikingly versatile and has the compact power to drive through nearly every nailing application. The PN650 ranges in price from about 0 - 5, and although this may seem a bit spendy, the tool is truly worth every penny.

Porter Cable Power Tools

Like Porter-Cable, Senco is also know for building some of the industries finest pneumatic tools - their A20 (PC0781) hand nailer (metal connector) is no exception to this rule. This hand nailer weighs a minuscule 2.5 lbs and fits perfectly into the palm of your hand. Activated simply by light hand pressure on a surface, the nailer will not mar or dent any work surfaces, and because it's so small, the tool is ideal for joist hangers, metal straps, pole barn assembly, and other tight-space or awkward applications. Additionally, the tool is not only ultra compact and lightweight, but it is also well balanced and has a soft rubber palm pad which makes the tool incredibly simple and comfortable to use. A magnetic rail guide ensures fast and easy driving, and with a leather grip/strap similar to the PN650's, using the nailer is essentially easy and comfortable. The tool packs a lot of power for its small size driving bulk nails from 6d to 16d. Ultimately, the tool offers superior comfort, maneuverability, power, unique access into small spaces, and at only about , an affordable price tag as well.

So, in the world of pneumatic hand nailers, one of these little babies from Porter-Cable or Senco is sure to be just what the doctor ordered. With compact power and versatile operation both the PN650 and A20 (PC0781) are tremendous tools with the gusto to bring you always better results.

A Weed eater is also recognized as weed whackers or string trimmers, which are also popular garden care items. It is usually utilized as a type of edger's or hedge trimmers that helps maintain the grass being trimmed in sidewalks. This also keeps the grass in the yard trimmed and free of weeds.

Porter Cable Power Tools

Most of the weed eaters have a long streak of string at a single end, with the handle at the other end. The spinning string of these weed eaters are responsible for cutting grass.

Porter Cable Power Tools

Weeds eaters do not require much maintenance. It should just be kept clean all the time to make it last longer. Basic weed eaters have air filters, edger blades, electrical parts, fuel filters, starter parts, throttle control, and trimmer line.

Weeds eaters are powered by gasoline. They have a big advantage because it is powerful. It is ideal for cutting down thick grasses or clearing away vines. Most of the Stihl brands of weed eaters available in the market are powered by gas.

Tips in Buying Weed Eaters
Most weed eaters look the same. The most important thing you could consider when buying is the power of each model.

Weeds eaters can be electric or battery powered. They can also be powered by gas or a mixture of gas and oil. Electric weed eaters are a nice option because it is easy to start. Just plug it in. The only problem is procuring a long extension cord if you have a big backyard.

Most electric-powered weed eaters are lightweight and easy to use. The 12-inch cutting path eater also offers precise maneuverability, especially for use in shrubs and plants. It is also great for cutting grass for small yards, townhouses and condos. This weed eater also offers adjustable handles, a comfortable ergonomic design and an extension cord retainer.

The 16 inch 31 cc gas powered weed eater offers dual cut blades for cutting thick grass and big grass. It is ideal for trimming around long stretches or around the water. The cushioned handle offers optimal control and comfort for your hand.

When you are choosing your weed eater blades, you have a choice between plastic blades or a nylon cord. Both of these weed eater blades are effective and fairly inexpensive. The plastic blades can be break easily, particularly if it is ground up against the driveway. The problem with nylon cords is that you need frequent replacement during each usage.

Generally, weed eaters with high power can get a job done more efficiently and quickly. But you don't need the most advanced model, especially if you are budgeted and have a small backyard only.

What Are the Best Brands Belt Sanders Available on the Market?

A belt sander is a power tool used to sand wood and other materials. It consists of a belt that runs in a circular way driven by a motor much like a running belt of a treadmill. Belt sanders are primarily used in the initial rough sanding process as they are able to remove considerable amount of materials quickly. For a smoother finish, you will be an orbital or palm grip sander. Some of the most trusted brands of power sander tool out there are Makita, Porter Cable, Grizzly, and Ryobi.

Makita has been a leader in the construction industry, and one popular model offered by this company is the 9404 8.8 AMP belt sander. The main quality of this sander tool as reviewed by many people is the quietness of its motor. It comes with an 8.8 amp motor along with an auto-tracking belt system that tracks the belt without adjustment. It comes with a unique design, and other interesting features include a variable belt speed and a dust bag that allows for a cleaner work environment.

One other name that is well known in the manufacturing of power tools is Porter Cable. The 352VS 8 amp belt sander is one the offering from this company. It comes with a 3-by-21-inch belt housed in an all-metal structure that gives the tool a solid feel. The major plus from this model is the ability to keep the belt centered during sanding jobs. This sander has a variable speed dial that allows you to match the speed of the belt according to the application. This model is also very quiet as it has been designed with a new gear system from Porter Cable. One other feature that you will not find on most sanders is the 360 adjustable top dust nozzle that allows you to pivot the dust bag in more hard to reach places.

Now, if you are looking for a professionally designed sander of great value, you might consider the Ryobi BE318-2. It has a 5.3 amp motor and comes with 3" x 18" belt. With its belt tension system, the belt is kept aligned during use, and the tension release lever makes the changes of belt easy and trouble free. This sander tool weights 5.4 lbs and other interesting features include a lock-on trigger and a dust port that allows for vacuum hook-up.

Stereo System Upgrades For Cars and Trucks

Most people want to personalize their ride with stereo upgrades and the latest bling items. In this article we will discuss the latest options for upgrading your vehicle's sound system. The first thing to start off with is deciding where to put all the components. Many people will want the CD changer out of view. Simple sheet metal brackets can be made to mount it inside a console below the surface to where the console lid clears the unit and goes undetected from any one's view. The head unit with AM FM tuner can be installed behind the glove box lid using 20 gauge metal and bent to hold the unit which is standard size with a built in bracket system. To hide a sub woofer there are many places.

A good location is behind the rear seat up against the package tray where there is ample room to upgrade to a much larger speaker. A paper board mockup will allow you to know how big of an enclosure to purchase at your local supplier. Be sure the minimum air space required was met while holding it all in place. All major speakers MFG list their minimum air space requirements for any given speaker. You may have to modify the back of the rear seat a bit to allow the sub clearance and removing a wire or two will not make much difference in supporting your back. Another place is where you rest your feet in the front seat. The kick panels are an excellent place for the front speakers. You can angle them to still allow good foot room while the sound waves hit the opposite side passenger directly for optimum sound. When installing sound systems we always look for what the vehicle will offer for locations that allow different alternatives such as places to hide speakers and different sound box sizes depending on ones desires.

If you're looking for first row, front seat sound then a mid range front floor speaker where the floor is cut out to house 8 inch Dyn-Audio mid range speakers is the ticket. Pointing them directly at the front seat passenger's ear for max sound is the only way because they are directional speakers. Right under the dash is a great place to install Image Dynamic Horn speakers for highs/tweeters that offer super crisp vocals and the lead guitars will come to life. In effect it will sound like an entire band is sitting on the hood of the car with unreal clarity and 0 distortion detected by any humans ear. When building hi-level systems such as this high power is needed so the front speakers would be powered by a JL 450/4v2 amp for max output with 1 gauge power leads and crossovers with separate equalization installed. For subwoofers you need a lot of power such as 2-1000 watt JL amps to provide power for a qty of 6 -10 inch W6 JL drivers in the trunk. Image Dynamics EQ will allow complete adjusting to the system.

Installing an EPICENTER by Audio Control is a nice component that allows you to bring out more bass in older music then it originally had. It features A Dial Rotation. Your fuse block needs to be upgraded when you go this route to massive 1-0 wires and relays to keep everything powered up safely. Hiding wiring where carpet can cover over them and away from heat sources like exhaust systems is very important and a door step plate channel is an excellent way to run the wires front to back. We like Optima batteries to power everything as they are gel and have no acid residue. Yellow Red and or Blue top are built for marine use for extra reserve capacity. Keep in mind that you may have to upgrade the amps in your alternator and these are available at most auto parts stores. XM satellite radio is another nice touch. On projects where other components are taking up space you have to improvise.

To build a custom Sub Box take MDF Wood and cut out 6 MDF rings on a router to accept JL W6 speakers. Then mount/glue them in the right matching angles and you are then ready to start covering them. We take fleece and cover them tight using a staple gun then they are wrapped and ready for some fiberglass resin work. Mix up and coat them with resin saturating all materials to get a strong first layer to support thicker matting later.

You can then use a porter cable tool and buzz out the speaker sections. The next step is to tape it off to get ready for the outer cover. Wrap it much in the same way but use polyester cloth and tape the edges around the cars trunk perimeter. Then trim it out much in the same way and also cut out a shaped hole in the back section to allow the sound to come toward the front of the car, The trunk hinges get a U pad treatment that stays with the hinge and fits with a small gap when up, just behind it you can add a trim piece to finish it out.You will then want to sand it down and apply some hi build primer and you are almost done. Simply mount the speakers with T-nuts that have teeth which pull in to the MDF wood when tightened.
