The challenge
Today, over 40 sites are inscribed on the World Heritage List specifically for their exceptional marine values. They are considered the "Crown Jewels of the Ocean" and cover about a quarter by area of all 6,000 marine protected areas on the planet. Multiple stressors are threatening the conservation of exceptional marine sites throughout the world. Inscription on the World Heritage List is only one step toward safeguarding these marine treasures for future generations. It is crucial to ensure that all marine sites have an effective management system in place that adequately protects their outstanding universal value.
The response
Jaeger-LeCoultre's commitment to sustainable development and the preservation of the unique natural setting of regions that are home to many rare and endangered plant or animal species is expressed through its long-standing partnership with the World Heritage Centre. The Swiss luxury watch manufacturer has initiated activities with the Centre to raise awareness about marine conservation and assist with the preservation of these exceptional ocean places.
Actions on the ground
In 2008, Jaeger-LeCoultre and their media partner, the International Herald Tribune (IHT) created a media campaign – called "Tides of Time" – designed to protect exceptional natural marine sites by raising awareness about them. Eight times a year, the IHT prints a full-page supplement about the Marine World Heritage sites and the potential of the World Heritage Convention for ocean conservation. Interviews with site managers and their teams bring an international dimension to their day-to-day conservation challenges. A dedicated online element also runs on nytimes.com: the Tides of Time videos, interviews, and multimedia slideshows are presented through an interactive, expandable banner called a Nano-site. Through their communication network, Jaeger-LeCoultre regularly increases the visibility of World Heritage sites that need urgent action and initiates online auctions to raise funds to help those sites. To celebrate their partnership with the UNESCO World Heritage Centre, Jaeger-LeCoultre created a unique watch, with the name "Tides of Time" engraved on the back, to be sold at auctions.
The Tides of Time print and on-line media campaign, sponsored by Jaeger-LeCoultre in the International Herald Tribune, offers exceptional visibility to the cause of conserving the marine World Heritage. Thanks to this partnership, this message has been able to reach an extremely wide public. In addition, Jaeger-LeCoultre's financial contributions to the World Heritage Centre have allowed the recruitment of an ocean conservation specialist to manage the World Heritage Marine Programme. Annual auctions, organized by Jaeger-LeCoultre, have provided direct financial benefits to several World Heritage sites, including Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park, Malpelo Fauna and Flora Sanctuary, and Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park.

Children's rooms in public libraries are so commonplace now that it's hard to imagine a time when they didn't exist. And yet as late as the early 20th century, children weren't even allowed to enter many of the country's libraries. A tough-minded Yankee woman from Maine changed all that. In her splendid new picture book, "Miss Moore Thought Otherwise," Salt Lake resident Jan Pinborough tells the true story of Anne Carroll Moore and her crusade to give children from all backgrounds access to a world full of words.
How did you become interested in this story?
I didn't find this story. It found me. In 2004 my dear friend Shauna Cook Clinger was commissioned to paint a portrait of Moore for the Anne Carroll Moore children's library at Utah State University. One day she called me sounding excited: "You need to write a children's book about Anne Carroll Moore." I'd never heard of Moore, and at the time I wasn't even writing for children. But after reading Frances Sayers's biography about Moore, I became convinced that children deserved to know about this woman whose vision and determination did so much to open library doors to children not only in the United States, but throughout the world. Along the way, I hoped to encourage "otherwise-thinking" children to value and pursue their own individualistic ideas and thus to make their own unique contributions to the world.
Within several months of my book's publication, both the New York Times and Huffington Post ran stories questioning the continuing relevance of libraries. My vision for this book was that it would encourage people to not only remember and appreciate libraries, but to support them. One of Moore's great contributions was giving less-privileged children access to lots and lots of the best books. We need to continue doing this for children today.
Can you tell us more about Moore's connection with Utah?
Sometime in the 1920s, President E.G. Peterson of Utah Agricultural College paid a visit to Anne Carroll Moore's Children's Room in the New York Public Library. "Oh, Utah could use a place like this!" he said. The following summer, Moore made the first of many visits to Logan, speaking to faculty, students and even church groups. She fell in love with the Wasatch Mountains and became almost an adopted member of the Peterson family. The many boxes of books that she shipped from New York to Logan eventually helped fill the shelves of the Anne Carroll Moore Library (now part of the Edith Bowen Laboratory School at Utah State).
How did you research this story?
The hours I spent in the New York Public Library poring over the Anne Carroll Moore Collection were the stuff of my dreams. Among many other treasures, I held a postcard from her friend Beatrix Potter, with a little hand-drawn Nicholas doll [the children's library "mascot"] drawn by Potter herself; a poem written about her and typed out by Carl Sandburg, and a telegram from Eleanor Roosevelt.
I got to know Peterson's granddaughter and namesake Anne Carroll Peterson Darger. Thanks to her generosity, I held in my hand a Fabergé egg, a minuscule elephant carved out of ivory, and dozens of other fabulous miniature toys that Moore's literary friends sent to her puppet-doll, Nicholas. (You can see photographs of "Nicholas' treasures" @www.missmoorethoughtotherwise.com.)
I talked to and corresponded with celebrated author Marcia Brown, who wrote three of the most memorable books from my childhood, "Cinderella," "Stone Soup" and "The Three Billy Goats Gruff." Brown shared her reminiscences about Moore, telling me about the beautiful pink tiles from Wales that covered the floor of the Children's Room. I felt the thrill of touching history, of talking with someone who knew Moore and the whole world of books and libraries that form the backdrop for this story.
I made a pilgrimage to Moore's birthplace in Limerick, Maine, visiting the school she went to as a girl and the building that housed her father's law office, where she studied to be a lawyer before that terrible week when both of her parents died in the flu epidemic. I parked at the little country cemetery on the hill by the Baptist Church, where she began her wild sled rides as a child. I walked straight to her grave, guided, I'm almost convinced, by Moore's spirit. While in Limerick, I met a highly literate nonagenarian, who, as a young college student, worked with Moore at the NYPL.
What other information would you have liked to include in the story?
I think children would have loved to have seen and known more about Nicholas and his amazing treasures. I would also loved to have shared some of the remarkable letters I found from people like Carl Sandburg, Louis Slobodkin, Robert McCloskey and Dr. Seuss.
I would also liked to have shared more stories of individual children who were touched by Moore's work, such as a little girl named Aimée who had emigrated from Belgium and who spent virtually every day in the Children's Room while both of her parents worked. And I think there could be a whole book devoted to Moore's worldwide influence. One of the book's illustrations shows a children's library in Japan, where Moore's influence was important (and my book has recently been published in Japanese). Moore also advised a group of women who formed the American Committee for Devastated France, one of whose projects was to build libraries in bombed-out buildings. The tables in those French libraries had bowls of flowers, just one evidence of Moore's influence.
Readers may recognize a little of the fictional heroine Miss Rumphius in Anne Carroll Moore. Is there any connection between the two?
Well, Moore was very independent-minded, a free thinker who lived life her own way, spreading books and libraries the way Miss Rumphius spread lupines. What Moore planted were three new ideas that have become so pervasive that we take them for granted today that children belong in libraries, that they ought to have free access to books, and that libraries ought to be lively and inviting places for children.
The author/illustrator of "Miss Rumphius," the late, great Barbara Cooney, wrote and/or illustrated several of my favorite picture book biographies, "Eleanor" [Roosevelt] and "Emily" [Dickinson], and I could never think about this story without envisioning Cooney's illustrations. It was a touch of magic when Debby Atwell, who painted the beautiful folk-art illustrations for the book, turned out to live in Maine, not far from where Moore grew up. It was double magic that she lives in the same town where Cooney lived, that she knew Cooney, and even owns one of her paintings.
How did your manuscript become a book?
I went to a writers' workshop, where I received enough encouragement about my manuscript to just barely give me the nerve to send it to several publishers. A generous and encouraging author at the workshop, Mary Casanova, gave me the name of her editor, the wonderful Ann Rider of Houghton Mifflin, who ended up accepting my manuscript and working with me very patiently through too many revisions to count.
What surprised you the most about the process of publishing a picture book?
How long it took to find a publisher (a year), to get the manuscript right (two years), to find the right illustrator (several months), to illustrate it (one year), to finally get the book printed after the illustrations were done (another year).
What kind of feedback have you received from reviewers and readers?
The reviews have been mostly quite complimentary. It has been a Junior Library Guild selection, a nominee for the Amelia Bloomer Project award, a Huffington Post "best book for summer 2013" and a New York Times notable book for Women's History Month.
My favorite feedback, though, has been from several people who knew Moore, including children's author Johanna Hurwitz, and from children who felt inspired by Moore's work. Children today are shocked to learn that children once weren't allowed to even come into libraries, much less check out books.
If someone approached you and said they wanted to write a picture book, what advice would you give them?
I imagine everyone's reasons for wanting to write are quite personal. For me writing is a bit of a torture, so I only write when I feel like what I have to say will really help someone or advance some cause I feel passionate about. Even with a driving passion to tell this story, and even with all the help I got from "a thousand unseen helping hands," it was still so much work that I almost gave up a few times. But if you feel your story is important, then go for it. It can be done!
What advice do you think Annie Moore would give to today's young readers?
I feel sure she would invite them to come to the library to do what she worked so hard to help children do in her day to spend hours curled up in library window seats, go to library story times and join book clubs. She'd probably encourage them to keep the pledge she had the children sign in her big black book a hundred years ago: "When I write my name in this book, I promise to take good care of the books I use in the Library and at home, and to obey the rules of the Library." Most of all, I think she'd want them to take advantage of every opportunity to learn about the world by reading lots and lots of the best books. I'm confident, too, that she would want all children, especially those who "think otherwise," to be brave, to have confidence in their own ideas and to look for ways to improve the world in ways large and small.

Thread: 4 Gay Players Might Come Out
Re: 4 Gay Players Might Come Out
Did Jackie Robinson have a press conference and say I am going to be the first black baseball player in MLB and this is how it's going to be, deal with it?We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid. - Benjamin Franklin
Re: 4 Gay Players Might Come Out
And while there may be a certain number of people who are truly committed to their prejudices, there are also people who are just careless and have never taken much time to think about their prejudices. These people can and likely will change if a number of players come out gay in a highly publicized way and get a sufficient amount of support from the media, fans, and other players. But it often takes a sufficient amount of buzz or a striking enough event to wake someone like this up.

Re: 4 Gay Players Might Come Out
- people who are committed to their prejudices
- people who are prejudice only because they haven't taken the time to examine the value of such prejudice and are just doing what they are used to seeing others do.
People in the second group can change their minds, and when presented with enough evidence or sufficiently striking evidence that the world around them is changing, they will likely change as well. NFL players coming out and the resultant media attention is likely to hasten this process.

Re: 4 Gay Players Might Come Out
Group 1: Prejudice no matter what, can't have their mind changed
Group 2: Prejudice can have their mind changed, but how do you reach them
Group 3: Not prejudice don't need to reach them
Group 4: Doesn't care either way.
Group 2 can and may change their mind. But saying a "coming out party" is they way to do it, assumes that everyone in the second group will react the same to an event like this. My opinion is that the you would get just as many people in the second group and likely more, who will have a negative reaction to it.
You can't force societal changes on people they happen overtime. If you take the reigns on a horse and lead him to water you're much more likely to get him to drink. If you get behind it and push, it may not move, if it does you have no control over which way it goes.
I personally don't care if every guy playing in the NFL and every cheerleader on the sideline was gay. All I am saying, is I don't think this is the way to go about trying to get people to accept it. My opinion is that it doesn't need acceptance. Why, because if there is nothing wrong with it than live your life like there is nothing wrong with it, people will accept it over time.We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid. - Benjamin Franklin

Re: 4 Gay Players Might Come Out
The difference in this situation gay's have been repressed for a long time. I think in this situation it absolutely does require a big "Splash" type announcement. Once it happens, then I'd be much more supportive of your line of reasoning. But I think the splash is required to force initial acceptance. Not that I'm saying "everyone has to agree with being gay", just acceptance of "He's gay, doesn't change anything about his job".
Re: 4 Gay Players Might Come Out
Seriously, if you want change to happen don't force it on people. If I push you, you will in all likelihood push me back, right? That's all I am saying.We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid. - Benjamin Franklin
Re: 4 Gay Players Might Come Out
if anyone thinks that is going to change anyone's mind who currently is not very accepting of homosexuality, they're not being realistic.
I get your point, but I just disagree. I think a more drastic showing of people coming out and being supported by others will change more minds more quickly. As you noted above, we're reaching a tipping point with this as a nation. People are taking notice and joining in. If anything that validates what I've said here. People who were asleep in their prejudices or ignorant of the prejudices of other are now being jolted into action, causing change to happen more rapidly.

text: I am curious about the differences in size, structure, and jurisdiction of skating federations in different countries. For example, roughly how many employees does the federation employ? To what extent does it depend on / benefit from volunteers? How active is the federation in organizing domestic competitions or hosting international events? Press releases on competition results, updates on elite skaters? How involved is it in growing the next generation of skaters? Responsibilities of national headquarter and member clubs (if applicable)? And since it's FSU and trash can, politicking? ;D Overviews of skating federations are extremely appreciated!!

we're bad again
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
I will take 2 runs an inning. "We" can do this.

"No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference." ~Tommy Lasorda
Reds got their standard 2 runs in, maybe another if we're lucky, time to call it a day and punch that clock.
Marshall in to pitch
No one saw the collapse coming in the 1st inning of game 3 leading 1-0 and your best second half pitcher on the mound.
If you can't be a good example... then you'll just have to be a horrible warning...
Nothing tastes as good as being fit feels...
Blanco grounds out to Marshall
Well I'm about to head home from work. Maybe a miracle will happen between the time I get home which is about 4:45. One can hope I guess.
Reds Fan Since 1971
I say we build a new Reds stadium. They're still 0-fer in GABP in the postseason. Must be a curse.
"I can't take this homerism anymore." - 10xWSChamps, August 11, 2010. A Cardinals fan having a problem with all the homerism on Redszone. Classic.
"Man do I miss the days where were didn't need a calculator and an encyclopedia of baseball metrics to enjoy a baseball game ... - MikeS21" - 8/2/12 game thread
I'm not overtly optimistic in these situations, generally, but I have a sinking suspicion this game is going to be interesting at the end. The Reds have four innings to get four runs if the bullpen can do its job.

Ben Mitchell
Mechanical Engineering '06
Ben Mitchell grew up in a devout household in the central Upper Peninsula of Michigan where emphasis was placed on helping others.
He traveled with his father to places such as Kenya and Peru on short-term medical missions. When he was in Kenya, a missionary explained that engineers have the greatest potential to influence the largest number of people. During high school, Ben participated in a youth mission trip to Tijuana. A result of the mission trips, his family decided to adopt three Vietnamese children when he was a junior.
All of these experiences had a great influence on Ben's outlook on life. He decided to major in mechanical engineering and enrolled at Lake Superior State University. Near the end of his senior year, he decided to volunteer for the Peace Corps to help others.
His two-year commitment began in the fall of 2007 and took Ben to Burkina Faso in western Africa. He resides in the village of Tansila, population 3,000, approximately 10 km from the Mali border. His host organization is the local cotton growers union. It works cooperatively with other villages to improve and expand their production techniques. He serves as an agribusiness advisor as a part of the Small Enterprise Development program which helps create market linkages and assists with the advancement of business skills.

I've been offered a place to do the CertTESOL at Eckersley College in Oxford, UK. Is there anyone reading this who studied there also, and would like to share their thoughts on the quality of the teaching and the course? In a private message maybe, if you prefer.
Alternatively if you obtained a TEFL certificate in Oxford (CertTESOL or CELTA) and you have any comments on the school you studied at, that would be of great help also.
Many thanks in advance.

text: A lot of people who don't watch skating beyond the Olympics and ice shows ask me about skating, from time to time. I try to explain some of the difficulty of what they are watching, or what kids are working on and the difficulty level, but sometimes they don't get it because they don't quite understand how the skills "work". So, if you were going to try to explain to someone what a double axel is in regard to its level of difficulty and maybe how it would compare to attaining skills in other sports, what would be a good comparison or analogy - sports or otherwise - that non-skating people would "get"? Thanks!

The surgeons listed above are members of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, licensed by the state of California and certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS).
Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully
Remember, any licensed physician is legally allowed to advertise as a "cosmetic" surgeon, even if he or she has no formal surgical training. Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon from this list is your assurance that your doctor has the highest quality training and advanced surgical skills.
ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters
The ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the specialty of plastic surgery. Following medical school, ABPS-certified plastic surgeons must have completed a minimum of 5 years of surgical training, including an accredited plastic surgery residency program. Members of ASAPS must be in at least their third year of active practice following ABPS certification.

Yeah, I'm going to give it a little flare tonight then secure it with a some fiberglass.
who has the original helmet?
Alright...this is last I'm going to post (unless someone says something stupid) about this. It's absolutely pointless to have this arguement. Please don't attempt to lecture me about the movies and prop building. Yeah, you're prolly older than me. And I spent seven years of my non-existant life studying SW. I don't see how Boba "was" a bobblehead. It wasn't that big. Excuse me for being a young uneducated kid who apperantly doesn't know anything.
I was stating simple facts about the helmet SoK bought.
For clarification to Boba...Slave_1: SoK has the helmet...I am simply the smith of his armor. Unless you're talking about the ORIGINAL helmet. So, pending dumb comments...I'm done.
Use the advice of hundreds of people who've researched Fett for years or don't. I really don't care! Our point to you was that the REAL Fett helmet was larger than a Don Post. If you don't care that's FINE! Don't call our comments stupid just because you don't care about those facts. There is NO ROOM in this forum for people to come in and start disrespeting the members here. If you don't want to seek advice or opinions than why are you here posting about it?
Take my advice... don't push away help when its offered for FREE.
This is what a real ILM helmet looks like on a regular height and build human. You can squish the front and back of just about any helmet to the approximate width of a real ILM helmet, however you would do so at the expense of the volume and total shape of the helmet. The Don Post and Rubies helmets simply do not have the same size and volume of a real helmet.
I like to think that TDH members are open-minded enough to evaluate a claim backed by proof instead of immediately dismissing it completely. However, at this point in the hobby, there are certain indisputable truths that have been proven time and time again by solid, irrefutable evidence. The size of Don Post and Rubies helmets compared to an ILM helmet is one of those truths.
Last edited by Tyler Durden; Jun 18, 2005 at 1:26 AM.
That looks like a great size. I will add the ears make it even wider mine looks thin
without the ears.
I didn't mean to start any arguements here. I was just trying to figure out helmet sizes and such. It is interesting that the others are larger than the rubies, because, in my own opinion, in looks rather large. But in searching though older threads, from what I can tell the other kinds of helmets look only slightly larger. But that is neither here nor there. I think that this rubies will fit my needs just fine. And I appreciate the help from everyone.
I just put a layer of fiberglass inside my helmet and it seems to be holding it's shape quite well. I think I might put another layer in there and/or sand it, because, being my first time working with the stuff, the end result was workable, but ruff.
WOW! that was a little rude! you can just kiss my :moonDarkFlipDog said:
Okay...it's time for more clarification...and an apology.
To BobaFettSlave_1: That comment wasn't directed at you. It was a general comment that I forgot to double space. I apologize for the mix up or if you were offended by my lack of ability to type.
To tylerdurden: If thats a cast of the original...that looks REALLY familiar.
To the general populous. Again No one is disputing that the volume or size of the DP is smaller than the original. The 95 is small, the 97 is smaller and crappier. This bucket is stamped 2002. And having found the measurments of the original, the 'mystery' measurements (also from TK-409's site) and measuring this helmet...they are the same. As I have been trying to say in the past week. If you don't believe me, thats fine...I'm just telling you my findings.
So...now I'm done. Hopefully this will end this pointless conflict.
It is most certainly a 100% original casting of a real helmet, as every scratch and feature can be matched to its source helmet. I'm not sure what you are trying to insinuate about it looking "REALLY familiar." But I'd like for you to elaborate because you brought it up.DarkFlipDog said:
I wasn't insinuating anything...simply saying this helmet that SoK bought looks exactly the same on me.
Very well then. If you get a chance to take a photo wearing your helmet that more or less matches the pose in the photo above, please post it so that we may compare the two helmets.DarkFlipDog said:
I'm sure a number of members here would have interest in a Rubies helmet that could potentially look exactly like the real helmet.
Will do.

No, that was being used as an example of a helmet modeled after one from the movies. I'll post one of my helmet on my after the fiberglass dries.
SORRY S. O K. I meant for Tylerdurden... Thanks though.Son of Knight said:
I would like to see yours though.
Your fiberglassing your Rubies?Son of Knight said:
BTW: View this link and those in doubt will see the pictures I posted showing that Rubies helmets ARE smaller than screen sized helmets.
Just the inside of it. So it will retain it's shape.
IS that a marrow sun helmet? IT has that telltale mold line over the top of the dome.
Spidey, no it is not my helmet it is Rogue Studio's casting from his ILM Fett plug. It is not a modified helmet. It's a 100% real casting off an original ILM helmet.
Cal, a seam line across the top is in no way a tell-tale sign of any helmet, as just about any helmet is made in a two-part mold- just like the originals.
True, IT was a shot in the dark. many recastes I have seen dont have it though.
Well, normally the seam line is sanded off. No finished helmet should have a seam line. I guess the amount of seam just depends on how finished the artist wants the kit to be.
So Rogue Studios has the definitive Boba helmet in our little Fett universe! I thought that's what that pic was...I had just never seen an actual helmet cast off of that plug he had. Not to shabby considering he's one of the most definitive helmet painters around! Nice! One can only hope well see some hi-res pics of it painted some day!
The Rubies helmets i have seen can't possibly be classed as accurate sizing in my own opinion.
Their a cheap and easy start to making your very own costume, but they are far down the scale of all round excellence when compared to the many available buckets.
my 2 cents...
I recently was able to determine just what a difference a Bobamaker fiberglas helmet will make in comparisson to a Rubies Jango helmet (wich is the same size as a Boba) thanks to OrtharRrith...

Governor Mark Dayton, yesterday, announced his plan for $986 million in new construction projects for the legislature to consider when it reconvenes next month. The proposal includes nearly $14 million for renovations to the Bemidji State University campus, and more than $13 million for Red Lake schools. But a search of the state's website shows that it does not include the City of Bemidji's request for $800,000 to move and upgrade the Bemidji Carnegie Library building.
The governor's plan is only preliminary, as the state House and Senate will each have their own proposals.

Well, this year's WA state adventure found us hunting in many different scenerios. Some good, some bad, and some plain out laughable. Brian from Camodipped.com accompanied me this go around and hopefully had some fun. Here are a few pics from the trip. He flew back today but I will be adding some layout hunts this week until I head back next weekend.
We tried to knock off his harlequin early in the trip but between high winds and "bullet proof" waves he had to wait until the wind subsided enough for us to finally get to our "X" on the map.
His died about 5 minutes into the hunt and ours came soon after.
Since we had found puddle duck heaven a few years back on the Columbia river we opted to give it another go since the temps were below freezing and a foot of snow had just fallen. After the 4 whhel drive going out on one truck, a wait during an Avalanche control stop, and basicly a blizzard along the way we finally made it. The duck numbers were lacking but we made due before heading back a day early with another foot+ of snow forcasted. NOt my best hunt but by far not my worst. We downed 2 pairs of gadwals as our hosts cheered.....Gaddies are VERY rare over here. Brian and myself just laughed about crossing the country to shoot grey ducks
Our blind...aka "snow fort"

Next question: It seems to me that bees will be able to move beyond the follower boards (the follower boards I cut don't fit the sides perfectly either!). I've seen follower boards with netting attached, and the netting seems to fill the gap. Is this advised?
Use a one by eight or a one by ten for the bottom. Add two or four inches (depending on which you use) to the 15" sides and you have a hive that takes 17" or 19" bars.


text: I would reconsider contacting S&W for direct assistance or for information on a local certified smith. It's brand new, they have an obligation to resolve this with you. If you do not get satisfactory resolution, then seek the outside. It might be a bad, bent or otherwise defective seer to me, but I don't know that much about revolvers. The only gunsmith I know of since moving here (needed a split roll pin replaced in one of my SiG's) is the guy at the Marksman in Puyallup. They have a website and the contact info is there.

Brattleboro, Vt. (July 25, 2012)…During the Holstein Association USA, Inc.'s 127th Annual Meeting, considerable time was spent discussing the proposed Cooperative Agreement between USDA-Agricultural Research Service (ARS)-Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory (AIPL) and the Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding (CDCB), as well as the draft Business Plan for the CDCB performing future U.S. dairy cattle genetic evaluations.
Holstein Association Vice President Glen Brown, speaking on behalf of the Board of Directors, led an interesting discussion on the topic. Excerpts from his presentation are included here.
"For many years the United States Department of Agriculture, through its Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory (AIPL), has been working closely with major sectors of the dairy industry to provide genetic evaluations for dairy cattle. Those sectors include Holstein Association USA, Inc. (Holstein) and other breed associations, the dairy herd improvement (DHI) associations, and the artificial insemination companies (AI's) through their trade association, the National Association of Animal Breeders (NAAB).
Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding
"Some years ago, those three industry groups created the Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding (CDCB) to serve as a forum for discussion and to advise AIPL on industry research needs. The members of the CDCB and AIPL have, until recently, worked very well together and shared information and resources for the benefit of dairy farmers and the industry.
"AIPL manages the genetic evaluations, conducts research, and provides equal access to the information. This system is of great benefit to all segments of the industry; dairy farmers, industry partners like the Holstein Association, and consumers alike. This beneficial collaboration is now being threatened.
"The CDCB has no budget or assets, nor has there been any need since its only purpose is to provide advice to AIPL. Now, however, some members of the CDCB are proposing a Cooperative Agreement with AIPL. A change such as this has the potential to have a profound impact on you, your Association, and the industry at large.
"One of the things we have been concerned about as an Association is that, if the Council changes from an advisory to a functioning business entity, the rules of governance, management, and finances must be considered properly and put in place before a cooperative agreement might be signed. It's critical that we don't sign it and later find out how it might work.
"We believe, if a change is made, the business plan should come first with the business structure in place. A cooperative agreement would then be formulated that would be consistent with the business plan.
U.S. Dairy Genetic Evaluations Should Stay at USDA
"We believe the advantages of keeping the U.S. dairy genetic evaluation program at USDA outweigh any disadvantage. In support of that contention, HAUSA would be willing to pay an annual fee for USDA's part in the U.S. genetic evaluation program if lack of funding is really at the root of this issue.
"The Holstein Association USA Board is committed to keeping the dairy genetic evaluation program at USDA-AIPL."

The Career
and Technical Education programs at Northern Arizona University are
distinctive and address the emerging need for practitioners and occupational
trainers with knowledge specifically in Career and Technical Education,
especially as it relates to the latest educational teaching and occupational
training practices.
According to the article "Career and Technical Education, a Key to Good Jobs, Needs Help, Report Says" published in the Chronicle of Higher Education (Carnevale, 2012), Career and Technical Education needs to be strengthened in this country. Our Career and Technical Education degree and certificate programs do this by preparing professionals in any of the five pathways that provide career and technical training as identified in this article: employer-based training, postsecondary certificates, registered apprenticeships, industry-based certifications, and associate degrees.
According to Carnevale (2012), "We need more pathways to postsecondary education. Without that, we are creating a class-based society in America." As more attention is being focused on Career and Technical Education as a way to address issues in the economy and society there will be a demand for professional training in this field. Prepare yourself for a degree as a technical educator with these undergraduate, graduate, and certificate programs.


text: Help me out here guys. I clearly am in the minority here when it comes to AI. I really do not see what his value is other than taking a lot of shots. 1. He has a low career shooting percentage 2. He does not get many assists (career ave 6 a game) 3. He gets even fewer rebounds (career ave 4 a game) 4. He has never won a title 5. I don't believe AI has ever won defensive player of the year or been on the NBA 1st or 2nd all-defense team 6. He doesn't make the players around him better as evidenced by the 76s record over the years. 7. He is controveral and hard to coach. I just don't get it. Yes he can get to the basket and score. Yes he can make spectacular shots. Yes he can drain an ocassional 3 (career 3 point shooting percentage .310, which is really low) Zeke could have rung up 30 points a game for 5 years if all he did was shoot. Lest you all forget some of the memorable quarters that he had when he decided to score big time. The Bad Boys wouldn't have won squat if he continued to shoot like he did when he first came to the Pistons. If you look back on the history of the NBA, Michael and the Bulls were the only team to win the NBA title consistantly over a span of years when that team had the league's scoring champ. I don't deny for one second that AI is exciting to watch sort of (but when you have watched as much Magic and Kobe as I have then watching AI is ho-hum). I don't deny he can score, given 27 shots a game. So help me out here guys. What is it about AI that makes everyone think he is so great? Thanks

I have a SR22 for training. It seems to be reliable and safe. Really, the only issue is 22 LR reliability and capability.
Rim fire ammo is not as reliable as center fire.
Of course, 22 LR will be weaker than you might want.
Do not count on bad guys being afraid.
A larger heavier center fire pistol might be just as easy to shoot.
Still, a SR22 is still better than unarmed.

Nichols: A letter to the president
November 9, 2012
Dear Mr. President,
Please do not leave us. Please do not go to Myanmar just yet. We desperately need you at home. After the election, I hung on to a sliver of hope that with no need to campaign in your 2nd term, you would be free to create your legacy for the history books by saving and unifying America. It is in your hands, Mr. President, to bring the American people together and to give us optimism for the future of our Country. Instead of Myanmar Mr. President, please take a trip to the East Coast. Talk to those that are living in tents, homeless, those without food, water, clothing and heat. Please look them in the eyes and give them hope for their future. Then, please Mr. President, go to Washington, roll up your sleeves, call in both sides and be insistent on compromise for our future. You are the leader. You have the power. The American people need you at home. It is in your hands on how history will be written.
Jan Nichols, Breckenridge

Anyone have a lead on 80% RPD receivers? I tried WiseLite and they've only got 100% and are running about 4 months out. I've got an email into DSA but haven't heard back yet, not expecting much different but we'll see.
Any other options out there (0%-100% or even bubba)? The milling looks to be simple enough on the chunks, any reason it couldn't be done with aluminum and cut some weight off this thing?
I've read, and read, and read but if you've got some favorite links for alternative builds on one of these I'm always up for reading some more.

My 16v Swap thread
I think it's going to a better home. The guy who bought it is skilled in mechanics, finding parts, dealing with a car that can be as expensive to repair as it is persnickety. I must say I felt a twinge of guilt knowing you were getting for your girlfriend. These are not easy cars to own. There's a bumper sticker you see all over Africa, "I'd rather be pushing my Land Rover, than driving by me in your Toyota."
How about the abandoned Euro-spec E34 M5 that I chased all the way to auction, bid over the city-permitted amount, had the car pulled, only to come back for auction two weeks later where I was beaten to the punch by a man wearing a dashiki?
What about the time I gave some guy a deposit on a 350Z only to realize that he was a wanted felon and the car was not in his name, thereby leading to what could have potentially been a dangerous confrontation at a gas station?
What about that one time I sent Jerry_HEAVEN and Slonie to check out a $3k M5 for me and they were almost raped?
There are plenty more .
Everything I posted in the OP happened in the last 10 months. Don't make us go back further because that will just make committing you to rehab facility that much easier.

Vad isn't a person, Vad is all of us. It's our way of vicariously living recklessly.
PS, isn't this just a thread that will feed his ego anyways?
I don't know if an intervention is the best thing.
Since Vad's daydreams seem to drive half the traffic on TCL, it might implode if he is stopped.
Of course, it might be for the betterment of society as a whole if that happens...

ok so here is what happened. a few days a ago i saw another B6 A4 guy drive by me so i followed
him and he pulled over and we talked about our cars for a little. he said that he had a K04 setup
running 20PSI of boost. so blah blah blah later that day im talking to my friend about his car and i
tell him yea he is running a K04 at 20PSI. so he says "so its basically as fast as your car". i drive a
B6 A4 with a GT28 running 20PSI boost. so i say no my car would be faster because it is bigger
running the same PSI. so he says 20PSI is 20PSI. we argued for a good 30 minutes and couldnt
come to a conclusion. i figured since its 20PSI in a bigger turbo it would be moving more air. Can
someone tell me if im an idiot or right or what????? ive searched google and couldnt find a clear
explanation. please help!!!

I grew up in Louisiana — a little suburb right outside of New Orleans — and I wouldn't have it any other way!
Where you a good student? Did you like school?
I was a good student, but I was the biggest procrastinator. I was the fastest typist in my school, and I had an obsession with spelling and memorizing. I was the happiest in English class, and algebra was where I cried.

I haven't been doing much lately but wanted to scout a few spots before gunning in the morning with my partner Chick. Jack and I checked an old honey hole and found a lot of action. While Jack and I were walking up a pair of Hoodies buzzed me and I dropped the drake w/ one shot directly overhead at 40mph!!! Whew!!! Blackies erupted all around and I wished I hadn't shot the Hoody... I watched 5 drop into the pond and as we watched 2 more come in I knew where to go in the morning!!!! Chick and I like hunting the coastal zone cause we usually get a South Jersey limit of one blackie and two brant. And that's just about what I did this afternoon in less than an hours time- One blackie stooled rite in and 5 minutes later a single juvenile brant stooled rite in. Jack made 3 quick retrieves and we decided to leave a few for the morning.
I didn't bring the camera as it was a last minute deal, I almost didn't even bring the gun but thought better of it at the last minute... glad I did!

I also bought an almost new 9mm 239 last summer after a disastrous two months trying out another brand (won't mention the name since a lot of my buddies like this particular brand). The 239 fed flawlessly and was very accurate (like all my Sigs).
Several months ago, I bought another 239, this one a slightly used, two-tone, 40 cal with Hogue grips from a local LEO. I promptly called Sig and ordered the .357 Sig barrel and two .357 Mags (they are different for the single stack 239 models and are the same for the double stack Sigs).
Love the .357 Sig round in this gun.
One of my LEO retired friends, bought his first carry gun in 20 years (a nice compact Glock 40 cal). He really likes the Glock but when he handled my 239/.357 Sig, he said with a grin on his face, "Now that's a gun !!!".
I have several Glocks (19 and 36) and they are great guns. But I really like both my P239s because of what they are (classic, all metal, accurate, and a little heavier than my Glocks but that's what makes them elicit, "Now that's a gun") .
Good luck with your 239 9mm--Great price also.
I know you will like it.

Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.
Well I finally got the turbocharger today. Here are some pictures of the hardware that is in my house as of this moment. I will get more pictures up when I get a chance to go to my garage and collect all of the exhaust pieces that I'll be using...
The turbo may need new bearings and a wastegate. There is some side-play but no end play, which between the two the side-play is better to have.
The wastegate could be changed too. Not only for the poor condition but I would also like to use an adjustable one to controll boost (6 psi max for now).
Before I install the turbo, I will polish it up and make it look good...Sorry, I'm a stickler for neatness...
Anyways, here is the first picture of "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1."

Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.
The wastegate that it has looks to be able to be made adjustable.
Cut rod, thread each end, and then add a turnbuckle to the middle. Drive and adjust as you need to. Shorter is higher boost if I remember right. Personally, I just tried to bend the rod some to take up some slack, but it didn't change mine any. I need to take out more rod to get the boost higher.
Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.
You can likely adapt the 301 Turbo or 3.8L Turbo wastegate actuator and it can be made adjustable easily.
Also, it is a 2 chamber actuator, it has a second side that you attach to manifold vacuum, not the boosted side, before turbo, that will open the wastegate at cruise to slow turbo to decrease backpressure to increase fuel economy. But it also slows turbo speed that will increase the lag a little when you mash the gas.
I hate the term "turbo lag", as people take it out of proportion. It is a loose term. If you have driven a turbo car, especially a v8, you know this lag is minor and still the car is MUCH faster than a non turbo counterpart. So take it with a grain of salt...

Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.
Hey Illumina the amount of boost before an intercooler is "needed" is TOTALLY a case by case thing. Depending on compression, timing, chamber design, octane, turbo compressor map and quench area the amount of boost you can safely run un-intercooled can vary quite a bit from application to application. If anything it will add power and it will be safer under boost at the cost of, well, being a possible pain to plumb everything up/ more system complexity. I wouldn't use just one 300zx intercooler if one 3.0 turbo car needed 2 of them, especially considering most stock stuff is fairly restrictive. I know you bought a turbo already but a really good one would be an HX35 off a cummins, some 5.0 ford guys use them and they say they are a bit on the small side for a higher revving 5.0 so I figure it would work VERY well on a 4.9 in its power range. BTW a diesel turbo usually has a large turbine housing compared to its compressor housing since diesel's apperently have more exhasut energy than gas engines so thats something to consider when using a diesel tubo on a gas engine. If nothing else before ensuing any further into the project get the most helpful turbo book EVER in existance by Corky Bell "Maximum Boost" I found it EXtremely helpful. Good luck....
Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.Originally Posted by Formula94lt1
Thanks for the input dude
Right now the project is at a standstill due to time constraints and such, but hopefully this summer things will pick up a bit. Maybe a little sooner than that.
As for an intercooler, I would just feel better having one, so there is no real biggie in terms of where I am going to place it at and the plumbing associated with it. At the junk yard a few weeks ago I seen a nice intercooler from a Saab, but alas it was too large for where I have plans to put one at.
My biggest concern remains fuel: I simply don't have the confidence in what system I want to run. One thing for sure is that it will be an auxiliary piggy-back system running along side the stock system. I am getting mixed signals from people as to what a piggy-back system will do when ran in conjunction with the stock system... I have one person hoping that I will choke on Rotella diesel oil (presumably) on this project telling me all kinds of horror stories, so I am a little concerned on how to run this extra fuel without blowing something.
Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.
I have 2 gallons of Rotella T in the trunk if you need help chocking....
Any thoughts on my piggyback board that uses the existing injectors to trigger the TBI injector (through a driver board) that can simply manage more fuel? You can control it fairly easily, and it would be easy for me to add on additional control to up the fuel as the boost increases.
Not to mention, this is sort of a "free" intercooler. Remember that adiabatic cooling takes effect when you spray a liquid in the air like this. So it will cool the intake and the intake charge down effectively cooling the whole intake charge. Sort of like a water injector only injecting fuel instead of alky or water. You get the best of both worlds. Do not inject fuel through a real intercooler "BBOOOOOMM" happens..... After....
Or we can design up an aftercooler design into the intake that doesn't need an intercooler....
Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.
Glad to hear someone is as nuts as me when it comes to stuff like this. I have been off the forum for about 6 months, and was honestly just scavanging for information to do the same thing with my 93 seville (also a 4.9)
as far as the intercooler, from doing several n/a to turbo conversions in the past, high compression, and high charge air temps are not a good combo. Ultimately I am looking to run somewhere close to 9psi on my car....no flames, i am just slightly nuts. for what you are talking about in stage 1, I would seriously consider looking at water/menthonal injected cooling. it drops the charge temp, and avoids pre-ignition pretty well. An intercooler is great if you are up for dealing with the plumbing, injection is the next best thing, and can be done pretty cheap if you build the system yourself.
Another thought, if you are interested, I just had the tranny rebuilt and guarnteed to withstand 600ft/lbs of torque, with a true limited slip front diff...what fun is monsterious torque if all you do is blow up one front tire?
Best of luck on your project, the part i am somewhat stuck on is a clean and straight forward method of getting the extra fuel in.
Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.
Go check this out.... It might give you some idea's, also if you email the guy, he might be able to answer a few questions since he's been through it...
The guy in the webpage built a junked four cylinder turbo mustang from the ground up using mostly junkyard, home made and basically cheap parts.. He's currently running at 25psi but wants to go to 30+psi... Pretty impressive what he's done.. Go the the tour section and you can see the build from day one...
He built a massive 3 core intercooler by combining and welding three volvo intercoolers together... He states that the pipe before the intercooler is hot while the pipe after the intercooler going into the intake is chilled. Thats why he is able to run at such high boost on basically a stock engine without blowing the thing up.

Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.
Hey guys, I recently acquired an IHI GM4 turbo for use with my application. IHI makes it pretty hard if not damn near impossible to get anything like compressor maps/flow charts, turbocharger trim, A/R of their turbos. I have managed to find a few charts and random info for IHI turbo's but it's never the info that I need. I bought this turbo from a friend who lives on the other side of the country. I have seen it in pictures but don't have any idea of the actual size of it for comparison and how it will spool with my motoruntill it arrives on my doorstep.
This is why I was hoping to get some info here from you guys, see I found this thread quite randomly by searching for what seemed like days to find not a whole hell of alot.
So I'm asking for any info that you guys have on the GM series of Borg Warner tubos, inlet size, outlet size, downpipe size, upgrades for the wastegate? What is the wastegate spring set at from the factory?
I am no stranger to forced induction and have been tuning cars for the better part of 15 years.
My mods will include megasquirt with MSD ignition componants, mainly the 6BTM, 440 injectors, possibly a couple Saab/Volvo/Audi cold start injectors set to go at various psi with Hobbs pressure switches. I will also go with a large front mount intercooler with a CO2 spray system for the cooler itself. In the intake I might go with an alcohol injection setup, btu if I can control A/F then I won't need to as my intercooler is quite efficient for it's size.
As for boost suppliment I will be going with 3" turboback exhaust with no catalytic converter, a Tial external wastegate, and for boost control itself the Greddy Profec B Spec II. from what I gather, I won't be able to push a whole lot of boost, maybe 6-8 psi?
I have all of the other goodies as well, boost gauge, A/F guage, EGT tapped in my manifold and a flange welded to accept what I think APPEARS to be a T3 inlet flange on the exhaust side of the GM4? I've been ruuning an aiResearch .60/.63 T3 for quite sometime and getting some decent numbers.
Basically I think have all of my avenues covered, I live close to a couple dyno shops and have access to test and tune for relatively cheap prices as I am good friends with a couple shop owners.
I ALSO own a Zeitronix wideband O2 sensor so I can monitor A/F realtime.
Couple side notes this is hopefully going to be going on a 12 V sohc 2.2 4 cyl motor with 7.8:1 compression, 86.50 bore and 94 mm stroke.
Yeah I know it'll take awhile to spool, but I am no stranger to nitrous as well.
Any info that you guys might have on this turbo would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks guys.
Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.
Nitrous and turbos are an awesome match! Intercooler in a bottle!!!
Watch those intake air temps drop like a rock when the bottle is loose!
You sound like you are covering all the bases. I have a 1980 Turbo T/A that I got to email@example.com mph. Before you all tell me how slow that is, that is 4030lbs, 3.08 gears and no ECM, just a simple ESC controller for pinging, a total of 24 degrees mech advance, 7.5 psi boost and the worlds worst cyl heads. And that put nearly 290 hp to the ground. With more boost one night (ok ok, I pulled OFF the wastegate!), unofficially ran past our local 1/4mi marker nudging 110 mph. This was with 100 lbs of tools and 3 people in the car. And yes, I beat the nitrous fed 302 Mustang. Bad. It sure was fun!!!
Turbos are the ultimate in power adders....
Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.
Hell, I did a Google search and came up on my own damn thread
To the best of my knowledge, the Warner-Ishi turbochargers in question are a T3/T4 rating at .60/.70...I'm not too sure. I just know that the compressor is quite large while the turbine inlet isn't the largest I've seen. I'll have to dig up my Ebay posting where I bought it from to find the exact specs as I think they're on there somewhere.
Anyways, my only concern is fuel. I have the MSD BTM and just about everything else, I just don't have the Megasquirt yet, as I'm still trying a couple of places that might be able to work out the problems with my ECM. I've made contact with a link Katshot gave me from "PCM-for-less" and the guy told me that he might be able to do it if I sent him either the car or the ECM...I'll gladly send an ECM: I have a few to give away. But I will not give him the car to tinker with I'll respond back to him and try and get a more specific answer.

Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.
That .60/.70 is nice to know, especially since there are some members who're running a .70 with the same motor that I intend to do it on, specifically with the IHI VF22 that comes on the older j-Spec Subaru STi. I can't seem to track down info anywhere on trim and A/R, I could and will measure and calulate when it gets here.
Trim is calculated by dividing the inner diameter by the outer, squared x100:
(??/??)^2 = 0.??
Then you'd do the same with the turbine:
IE:TRIM = ( Dp / Dg )² x 100
Si Dg = 50 mm y Dp = 35 mm
TRIM = ( 35/50 )² x 100 = 49
A/R howvere is completely different:
The A/R in a relationship that is obtained when dividing the interior area of the turbine where the inner walls are found, through the turbine housing radio from the center to the tongue, like this:
If you happen to have the turbo getting dusty in your basement/closet/garage, do you think you could measure it for me?
I'll be sure to measure mine and post the results when it gets here but AFAIK, the one that I am getting is a GM4. I think you said that you were getting or got a different one? Any idea of the spec differences between the years?
Wait a minute, I think I just asked you to show me yours if I show you mine

Mercedes-Benz 300CE Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the Mercedes-Benz 300CE based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
A rough running motor or lack of power can be caused by a failed distributor cap or rotor, ignition wires (or their resistors), or valve cover gasket leaks. If the valve cover gasket leaks, oil can pool where the ignition wire resistor connects to the spark plug. The resistor can fail and the spark plug may not fire because of a short circuit through the oil.
One or more blend door vacuum actuators may fail resulting in the incorrect output temperature from the HVAC system. Failed actuators will require replacement to restore proper HVAC operation.
Leaks may develop from the differential seals and/or cover on older or high mileage vehicles. Our technicians recommend a complete reseal of the differential unit when these leaks are addressed.
The lower control arm bushings can wear and crack, leading to irregular and premature tire wear. Worn Ball joints can also cause similar tire wear problems. I some cases it may be necessary to replace the lower control arm, including bushings & ball joint to correct this concern.
The emissions air injection pump can seize, causing a loud squealing noise followed by smoke from the drive belt. If the engine is not turned off, the belt will break, turning on the alternator/battery warning light.
The electronic throttle assembly may suffer an electrical failure. It is often cheaper to send the valve to a service center for repair that to purchase a new part.
The tie rod ends, idler arm, and/or drag link components of the steering linkage may wear prematurely. Please keep in mind the wheel alignment should be checked and adjusted when any of these items are replaced.
Due to wear, high usage vehicles can experience ignition lock and tumbler failures. The ignition lock cylinder will generally require replacement to correct this concern.
A coolant leak may develop from the water pump. When replacing the water pump, the drive belt tensioner should be inspected and most likely replaced as well.
A coolant leak may develop form the Radiator due to degradation of its plastic components. Replacement of the failed radiator will be necessary.
Internal and External engine oil & coolant leaks can develop from the head gasket and/or timing cover gasket; these leaks should be repaired before the engine oil and coolant intermix which can result in severe engine damage.
As brake fluid becomes dirty over time, it can cause a failure of the anti-lock brake system (ABS) modulator assembly. Our technicians recommend a complete brake system flush every two years to help prevent this issue.
The brakes may begin to squeak at about the 50 percent wear point. This is due to the size and material used for the brake pads and rotors. The brake rotor surfaces become uneven, causing a lip to form at the outer edge. This will generally require replacement of the rotors when the pads are worn (pad life varies depending on driving style and terrain).
A vibration felt through the center floor of the vehicle can be caused by cracked and/or shredded driveshaft flex discs, resulting in excessive driveshaft movement. If not repaired, damage to the driveshaft center support bearing, transmission, or differential can occur.
The lenses for head lights may become opaque (cloudy or hazy) as a result of sun exposure. This can reduce the effectiveness of the lights. Our technicians tell us plastic polishes can improve the clarity of the lenses, but replacement of the lamp housings is necessary to regain full intensity of the lights.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Just wanted to check in, now that it's been almost a week. We are 2/3'rds through the bag of this, (it was a 14# er) and he is still loving it. Just sat at my feet in the laundry room while I was scooping it out for breakfast, didn't even sniff at the fresh cold water I just put down for him after he came in. Just had eyes for the food, and he's standing here chewing, and EATING IT ALL.
His poops took a couple days to become more normal, they were kind of soft even though we mixed his food. I hope his coat stays as nice as it did on Orijen, because he still really LOVES THIS FOOD. In his (almost) 18 months, he's never ever liked a food like this.
Any other thoughts on the nutrient profile, as in vitamins etc?
Well, he refuses samples at the local pet store (the one where we get his food, she only carries high quality) all the time. They laugh at his pickiness.
We've been looking for something for quite a while, and I've brought lots and lots of samples home. He wouldn't even TOUCH the Honest Kitchen stuff, doesn't care for Orijen's Regional Red, or Six Fish (better than RR but not that great) Wellness Core, and many, many others that I can't remember.
|Could also be that he likes something new. I would imagine dogs, too, get tired of eating the same thing all the time Glad he chowed down so enthusiastically. It is very satisfying when they do that.
|It has 5 stars according to Pioneer Naturals Grain Free Dog Food | Review and Rating So apparently not that bad. This might also answer your concerns.
So I posted a thread awhile back about this food, no one had tons to say about it. Rocket does very well on Orijen Adult, but has never loved it. Eats barely enough to get by. He is 17 months.
Yesterday, they had a 14lb bag of this food and I decided to give it a try. I still want to contact the company to see if I can get info on how much of it (% wise) is the meat meal. He had two servings yesterday and two today (mixed with the Orijen) and -------
WOW. He RAN to the laundry room today when I got his food bowl both times, pushed his nose in the way, sat and licked his chops while I was dishing. He was DROOLING. He just ate his dinner in about 2 minutes, (maybe three, but the point is ALL AT ONCE AND NOT BEGRUDGINGLY) which he has NEVER done. Just now, as I was typing this, he came back and licked his bowl. This has never happened.
I really hope he does well on this food. If anyone has anything to offer about the ingredients, ----- CARMEN, ARE YOU LISTENING? --- I would love to hear it. It's made in the USA, never had a recall.

"With Tradition Comes Professional Growth"We are a chapter of the National Student Nurses Association (NSNA) at the University of South Carolina Upstate. Our association promotes scholastic growth as well as professional growth through programs, teaching tools, conventions, and meetings.
The National Student Nurses Association (NSNA) as well as our chapter have several missions. The first being "to organize, represent, and mentor students preparing for initial licensure as registered nurses as well as those nurses enrolled in baccalaureate completion programs." NSNA has a direct influence into the standards of nursing education.
Another mission of NSNA is "to promote and encourage participation in community affairs and activities toward improved health care as well as being advocates for high quality health care". NSNA is the precursor to your professional society. Some of the tangible benefits of NSNA can be found on our membership page, the NSNA Membership Brochure or their home page (under links). These benefits are many, but perhaps the most significant reason to belong is that NSNA membership translates into a professional commitment.
Lastly, "NSNA promotes development of skills needed to be a responsible and accountable member of the nursing profession". Participation in NSNA reflects an interest in the nursing career and informs future employers that NSNA members value professionalism. Regardless of the effort put forth, be it large or small, your involvement will influence the course of the future of the nursing profession as well as your education. So join today and be a part of the USC Upstate Mary Black School of Nursing Tradition.

'"It was back and forth for a while there, but I've been feeling pretty good for a while now," Hecht said in Tampa Bay Times Forum. "Just being on the ice with the guys kind of makes my day now. I'm pretty happy about that."'
Hecht says he's not the retiring type quite yet
