Field Survival

What is a normal salary for System Administrator in US?
I have an experience of 10years+ in IT field as Systems and Network Administrator. I am looking out for a job in US in similar field. And want to know about the payscale including details like taxes, expenses etc. for not only survival but better than normal survival.
This might give you some idea of the numbers:

As far as living expenses, taxes, etc., it depends on the area of the country and laws since some states don't charge income tax and housing is far more expensive in some areas than in others.

Cutter Glass

How I can know what laser or electrical STAIN GLASS cutter is good since I work with old tools?
I'm just beginning to do my first projects in stain glass, I have been learning with the tools of the old school, but I'm definitely considering to get tools that can give me better performance, accuracy, precision and less consuming time and effort into this projects.
GRADE OF DIFFICULTY, is my concern in hadle this tools, versus the tradicional ones.
thank you
A manual glass cutter is easy to use. You have to remember that when you go to break the line, you need to have the save piece on cloth. You really can't afford either of the other two. Here's a link that might help:

I use either a carbide or diamond tip when I engrave glass.

Folder Pocket

What is the difference between folders with braids and folders with prongs?
My sons school supply list says he will need the following:
7 folders with pockets and prongs
3 folders with pockets and braids
3 folders with pockets no braids
I know that prongs are the three metal pieces inside of folders where the holes from the paper go. However, I ave no clue what braids are. I did a websearch and all I got was other schools supply lists.
Perhaps braids are the three holes in the folders? If you're not sure, just have your son ask on the first day of school. If you're confused I'm sure a lot of other students will be as well, and the teacher will clear everything up for them.
Here is a funny side note. When my brother was entering 3rd grade his teacher put "3 fine tipped Sharpies" on the school list. This was before there were Sharpie commercials or before they were known as anything other than permadent markers. So my Mom thought the teacher meant very sharp utility knives and sent him to school with those. Long story short, my brother was suspended on the first day of 3rd grade for having utility knives.

Knife Holster

When SOG came out with the original Tomcat folding knife in 1988, it won the award for Blade Magazine's knife of the year. The SOG Tomcat 3 is an updated version of a classic that delivers custom-knife performance at a reasonable price. Here are my thoughts on the knife:
What I like about the knife:
1. SOG's Arc-Lock is incredibly strong and gives you no up and down or side to side movement. This lock also allows for ambidextrous, one handed opening with no problem.
2. Each Tomcat 3 folding knife is made with razor sharp VG-10 stainless steel. Known for its edge retention and rust resistance alike, you'll be glad to have such a high performance steel by your side when you really need it.
3. At 3.75 inches long, the clip point style blade is the perfect length for everyday carry. You should have no legal troubles when carrying this knife almost anywhere. Jimping or thumb grooves on the back of the blade make precise cuts a piece of cake.
4. The handle is very well designed and feels comfortable in your hand. Kraton gives you a nice anti-slip grip that will hold up in the toughest of situations.
5. With an overall weight of 6.5 ounces, the Tomcat 3 is hefty enough for law enforcement and emergency personnel, while still light enough for the average Joe to carry everyday.
What I didn't like:
The Tomcat folders do not come with pocket clips. Instead they come with a nylon sheath. I like the idea of including the nylon sheath, but I would like the option of using a pocket clip.
Overall:
It's obvious that the SOG Tomcat 3 folding knives are built to last a lifetime. With a suggested retail value of $230, it's safe to say that these knives are worth every penny. The super-tough construction, comfortable ergonomics and razor sharp blade all make for a terrific knife.
You can get a SOG Tomcat 3 for $163 or less at my website http://www.KnifeSell.com

Bit Kit

If your rig is still riding around at stock height, you need a lift—and fast. See, modern trucks are pretty much made for sporting a big set of rubber right off the assembly line. With the original donut size barely filling your wheel wells, your truck looks like an elephant standing on a stool. So, to fit the big tires that make your rig look right, you need more clearance, and that’s exactly what a lift kit gives you. In short, your rig plus a lift kit plus big tires and wheels equals awesome.
Okay, so youÂ’re saying that the ideaÂ’s great, but youÂ’re probably wondering how a lift kit gets it done without busting under pressure or causing other problems, the way your neighborÂ’s homemade job did. A true lift kit modifies your truckÂ’s suspension in any number of ways, depending on your factory gear. If you have leaf springs in the rear, count on some add-a-leaf inserts to the pack. Coil springs, in front or rear, are usually replaced by taller springs, thick spring seat spacers or both. Torsion bar suspensions usually substitute longer bars or tuned torsion keys. Plus, you may end up with new control arms, a-arms and steering components that relate your new height to the stock handling feel.
Now that you know how a lift kit works, letÂ’s look at the bigger boys making these badass toys. This should make picking the parts of your project a bit easier. WeÂ’ll start with one of the most recognizable names in lift kits: Skyjacker. Contrary to what you might think, the guys at Skyjacker arenÂ’t into hijacking planes at extreme heights. Rather, they make great lift kits with all-around capability. TheyÂ’re tough off-road, smooth on-road, and look clean everywhere. Next up is Rancho, a brand with plenty of cred in the truck world. Rancho is the off-road suspension arm of the same automotive giant that makes Monroe shocks, only Rancho parts are like Monroes on some kind of injectable substance pro athletes donÂ’t even know about yet. And then thereÂ’s Trailmaster, a company that takes a careful approach to the design of each kit. YouÂ’ll be grateful later when youÂ’re not pulling a defective part out of a cheapo lift kit and sending it back. Also, TrailmasterÂ’s shocks have quite a reputation.
Once you pick a kit from one of these choice brands, be sure to grab a pro installer for this job. You don’t want your cousin’s shaky 10-beer hands and rusty tools handling the fate of your rig’s stability. As soon as the kit’s in place, you’ll be cruising any terrain, sitting level (most lift kits get rid of the factory rear rake), and lookin’ mean. Parking barriers will provide the same resistance as a Twinkie. No hill or bump will ever high-center your rig. Nobody will want you to help them move (lifting a fridge an extra 6”-10” higher is a no-go). And, when traffic grinds to a stifled clog, you can make your own lane. In other words, you’ve been living too long without a lift kit already.
Browse brands like Skyjacker lift kits, Rancho lift kits and Trailmaster lift kits to give your rig the right stance and leave your friends in low places.
