Social Security Administration (SSA)
Notice of New System of Records
Required by the Privacy Act of 1974, as Amended
System number: 60-0356.
System name: Administrative Law Judge/Public Alleged Misconduct Complaints (ALJ/PAMC) System.
Security classification: None.
System location: All SSA Office of Disability Adjudication and Review (ODAR) regional offices and the Office of the Chief Administrative Law Judge in Falls Church, Virginia.
Categories of individuals covered by the system: Administrative Law Judges (ALJ) accused of misconduct or bias in connection with processing a claimant's case and the claimant who was the subject of the alleged misconduct or bias. If the claimant's advocate or representative files a complaint that an ALJ is biased against him or her, it may also cover a claimant's advocate or representative.
Categories of records in the system: Information derived from complaints filed against ALJs; the information we gather in processing, reviewing, or investigating such complaints; the results of the review or investigation; case analyses; the information related to the hearing office, the regional office, and the ALJ's duty station; information related to the alleged complaint; the Federal court, if a complaint is raised at the Federal court level; and copies of relevant correspondence. The ALJ/PAMC system may contain the following information about the claimant who filed the complaint: name, Social Security number (SSN), date of birth, address, and relevant claims-related information. In addition, the ALJ/PAMC system may contain information regarding the claimant's gender and race or ethnic background, if that information is provided and is a basis for the complaint. The ALJ/PAMC system may contain information related to the claimant's advocate or representative that is derived from the complaint (e.g., name, gender, race and/or ethnic background, if provided and it is a basis for the complaint). The ALJ/PAMC system may also contain the following information about the ALJ associated with the complaint: name, ALJ assigned number, and our assigned tracking and control log numbers.
Authority for maintenance of the system: Sections 205 and 1631(d)(1) of the Social Security Act, as amended.
Purpose(s): We will use the information covered by the system of records to manage and monitor complaints filed against ALJs. The information will:
· provide us with information to manage and respond to complaints, which in turn will help us monitor and improve customer service and reduce manual work;
· provide us with information to process, review, or investigate complaints filed;
· provide us with information related to the complaint, including the name of the claimant and other identifying information, the name of the claimant's advocate or representative, if any, and information about the ALJ who allegedly committed misconduct; and
· provide us with management information to document, monitor, and track ALJ complaints, to identify patterns of improper ALJ behavior that may require further review and action, and to assist us in deterring recurring incidences of ALJ bias or misconduct.
Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including categories of users and the purpose of such uses: Routine use disclosures are as indicated below.
1. To the Office of the President in response to an inquiry from that office made at the request of the subject of the record or a third party on that person's behalf.
2. To a congressional office in response to an inquiry from that office made at the request of the subject of a record or a third party on that person's behalf.
3. To the Department of Justice (DOJ), a court, other tribunal, or another party before such court or tribunal when:
a) the agency or any of our components;

Access to fresh Gulf shrimp is one of the great advantages of living in Houston, but there are threats to the local shrimp industry because about 90 percent of the shrimp consumed in the United States is imported from shrimp farms in Asia. Shrimp and other issues of sustainability will be the theme of UST's 2013 Earth Day Festival and Lecture on April 25.
Local Food at Earth Day Festival
Environmental Science and Studies students will host a free Earth Day Festival from 12:30-2:30 p.m. on UST's Academic Mall. Students will lead a series of booths focusing on:
During the festival, local food will be available. There will also be live "critters" to visit like owls and gators, a solar cooking demo, and a place to bring old shoes, jeans and other items for recycling.
Sister Damien Marie Savino, FSE, assistant professor and chair of ESS, said the students developed the ideas for their booths as part of a project for their environmental capstone class.
"The environmental science and studies majors wanted to host a fun and educational 'green fest' on campus to share their knowledge and enthusiasm with fellow students, faculty and staff," she said. "I'm proud of the way they've taken ownership of the project and worked collaboratively. As a department, we emphasize practical application of ideas and values, and this is one expression of that goal. I hope the festival is a meaningful experience for our students and the University community."
Experts Talk Shrimp at Lecture
In the evening, Regina Pena, owner and president of Philly Seafood, and Brian Shernak, marketing director of Philly Seafood, will give a lecture on the science and sustainability of domestic wild shrimp, "From Our Family Boats to Your Family Table," at 7 p.m. in Cullen Hall, 4001 Mt. Vernon.
Sister Damien Marie said the sustainability of domestic wild shrimp is an important issue, both because shrimp is a local food resource and because the livelihood of local Gulf shrimpers is at stake in the face of increasing pressures from imported shrimp. Gulf shrimpers have suffered economic losses as cheaper foreign imports have undercut their prices, and there are also significant environmental implications because foreign shrimp farms practice notoriously poor environmental management. Domestic wild shrimp, which constitute only 10 percent of the shrimp consumed in the United States – of which 75 percent is from the Gulf of Mexico – is considered significantly more sustainable than imported-farmed shrimp.
"Sustainable seafood is a global issue, and one that impacts Houstonians in a particular way since the Gulf of Mexico is in our backyard," she said.
Attendees will enjoy a free tasting of Gulf shrimp after the lecture. For more information, contact Sister Damien Marie at 713-525-3894 or email@example.com.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|In this forum you are talking about paint. I am a paint chemist and I do dabble a little with auto primers and clear coats. Polyurethanes can be rock hard or a elastic soft touch. Polyurethane is what you get when you mix a 1. Isocyanate with a 2. Polyol. Urethane or really polyurethanes can be acrylic, polyester,alkyd, vinyl, Nitrocellulose, cellulose acetate butyrate and on and on. All of thiese items in the second group are the polyol. Water is a polyol H-OH, this will cause CO2 bubbles in your paint. This is why there are urethane grade solvents which are very low in moisture. We also use moisture scavengers to consume water. A polyurethane can be lacquer solids of 15-20% to 100% solids. There are so many products out there and so many claims it is hard to keep it straight. Japaneses, German, and American automakers all have different approaches to clear coat hardness and they all have advantages and disadvantages. Polyurethane is the predominate clear coat chemistry hands down. Where I work we still make Nitrocellulose Lacquers just like the old days.
powderbill: Great explanation! I'm a LINE-X spray-on truck bedliner dealer and I find few people who know this info.
A couple of side notes just to confuse everyone: Polyester resins are better (more durable) than acrylic resins. Also, isocyanate linked with amine terminated resins (as opposed to hydroxl terminated resins) gives you polyurea.
Changed my mind.
|I've seen some durability ratings in pencil hardness, what's this referring to? Impact resistance?
1. Polyester urethanes are more durable than acrylic urethanes.
It may be helpful to define our terms here. When Cruzin9 refers to durability in this context, I'm sure he means impact resistance, flexibility, and toughness. I would agree that polyester urethanes generally have better impact resistance, flexibility, and toughness than acrylic urethanes.
The reason for my post is, when reading coatings literature, you'll often come across references to exterior durability referring to gloss and color retention on exterior exposure. So as not to cause any confusion, acrylic urethanes as a class will frequently exhibit better gloss and color retention than polyester urethanes. So, don't be surprised if you read statements to the effect that acrylic urethanes typically have better gloss and color retention, which may in some contexts also be referred to as exterior durability.
It's not that either statement is wrong, they are both right if the term durability is understood to be used in the correct context. I hope this might help clarify any possible confusion for interested readers.
I'm a LINE-X spray-on truck bedliner dealer. Our product is a blend of polyurethane and polyurea. A few points to make:
1. Polyester urethanes are more durable than acrylic urethanes.
2. There are two-part urethanes (polyol resin mixed with a isocyanate (a hardener) and there are one-part urethanes (also called solvent based urethanes) which is urethane suspended in a solvent. Long story short, two-part urethanes are typically harder and more durable than one-part urethanes.
3. There are aromatic urethanes and aliphatic urethanes (depends on the position of the hydrocarbon chains). Aliphatic urethanes are more UV resistant but usually are more expensive.
You can't always go by the names things are sold under. The foam boards I bought for some fiberglass work were called "urethane foam" in the advertisement. They were actually polyisocyanurate foam, a.k.a. rigid insulation without any facing material. Another example: ever bought vinyl siding or tore a vinyl top off a car? Those are not "vinyl" but rather a polymer, most likely polyvinylchloride or plain old PVC.
As a follow-up to powderbill's organic chemistry lesson (thanks for that, powderbill!), see http://scifun.chem.wisc.edu/chemweek.../Polymers.html
Well, first off, it's much harder to make predictions about the quality of one formulation versus another if you don't have access to the formulas. Typically, one can get a few tidbits of information about the composition of the products from either labels or MSDS, but the information is typically very limited. For example, one who is familiar with the various commercially available isocyanates can typically pretty well guess what isocyanate curing agent is being used by looking at the solvent composition, VOC, and wt./gal. on an MSDS or even some labels. Information on the non-hazardous components such as acrylic resin solids is typically much more limited.
For a few broad generalizations, with all other factors being equal, mix ratios that use more isocyanate are typically higher in chemical resistance, and may often have an edge in gloss retention. However, comparison of higher solids (lower VOC) products to a lower solids product may make such predictions less reliable. The main factors that ultimately determine mixing ratios are the hydroxyl equivalent weights of the resins used and the quantity of resin solids present.
With respect to buffing behavior, I would expect that rate of hardness development would be affected by the molecular weight and monomer composition of the acrylic resin used, the solvent blend, and most especially by the accelerator package used in the formulation (eg concentration of certain metal salts). A tradeoff in this case is potlife versus cure rate.
Kenseth's experience using the isocyanate for a primer with a topcoat may work fine in some cases, and not in others depending on the individual formulations. There are some good reasons for a manufacturer to utilize a relatively small number of different isocyantes in a product line, and sometimes two entirely different products may use exactly the same isocyanate curative. Other times, they may be very different. Again, without access to the specific formulations or doing some analytical work, it would boil down to a calculated risk. Availability of good labeling information or MSDS info could definitely tilt the odds in your favor of guessing correctly, however.
With respect to toxicity of isocyanates, the ones used in 2K paints are typically selected to have much, much less toxicity than the monomeric isocyanates they were derived from due to their vastly reduced vapor pressure. Still, they should be handled with respect, particularly owing to the possibility of sensitization if an aerosol containing them is inhaled into the lungs.
I hope these comments are interesting to readers. Let me know if comments on a particular aspect are wanted.
|I agree, the polyurethanes seem to stay green longer but when they do reach full cure they are harder to buff IMO. Like Barry has said a few times here, mix ratios can somewhat be an indicator of quality, 2-1 and 3-1 clears are usually higher quality than the 4-1 mixes. It's all rocket science IMO , but if anyone wants to shed some more light on the subject I'm all ears.
now i remeber going over this with barry k a couple years ago and i remember him saying there were distinct differences. dont remember exactly what they were except that polyurethanes are more chemical resistant and more flexible. hopefully he will pop in here and remind me of our conversation.
kenseth17: thats funny about the buffing. i usually see just the opposite. most urethanes i see say to buff within a few days and poly's within 30 or so.
woah, don't think I understand most of that, but interesting. The ingrediant that catches my attention is the hardener with most of the ingredients being some kind of isocyanate in the name. Bad stuff menard. Now stuff like resin and mek and acetate I can understand, but all the complex chemical names I don't but they are probably a combination of chemicals. It was always my understanding that the most durable were polyurethanes, but don't know now that I read what powderbill wrote. But the clears labeled polyurethane say to buff within a certain time period in some tech sheets. The urethane clears I haven't seen say this. Seen powder bills occupation was a chemist. Who woulda thunk it.
I often see a lot of similar chemicals in the hardeners for urethane primers as the clear. One time I had a small part I had to clear and was out of hardener for the clear. Used some primer hardener so I didn't have to go spring for the hardener for the clear. I mixed a little up and let it sit overnight and the next day it was hardened up, so I used the primer hardener. Didn't see if there were any long term effects though.
|Not boring at all, tell us more. I've done some ingredient comparisons from can to can and see a lot of component similarities, there are some ingredients in the higher end clears that start with the poly prefix which I always thought interesting. Are there any key ingredients to look for which would identify a quality product? Interesting stuff. Bob
Just for the record, in the context of 2 component automotive finishes, the two terms urethane and polyurethane are synonomous and can be used interchangeably.
For those interested in learning more: A urethane linkage (-NHCO0-) is the reaction product between a hydroxyl group (-OH) and an isocyanate group (-NCO). The prefix poly- simply means that the product is a polymer containing the said linkages.
In most automotive topcoats nowadays, the hydroxyl component is an acrylic resin with pendant hydroxyl groups, and the isocyanate is a biuret or trimer of hexamethylene diisocyanate. However, other types of urethane finishes also exist in primarily non-automotive applications, such as polyester-urethanes, vinyl-urethanes, or alkyd-urethanes. One also can encounter the so-called oil-modified urethane varnishes in architectural applications, which are single component products which cure by oxidation (with the urethane linkage being present in the backbone of the polymer). Finally, there are moisture-cured products, which are multifunctional isocyanates that react with atmospheric moisture to crosslink and cure (eg POR-15).
I hope people don't find this boring or rambling.
Thanks for the clarification roger. My fault,thinking one and typing another. Multitasking is not my thing. Heck,singletasking is tough enough. Poly this and poly that,
Polly want a cracker?

My name is Gareth. I am interested in a particular TESOL course and I was wondering if anyone could give me a "heads-up" as to whether or not it is any good for certification and employment potential?
The company is INTESOL. I am interested in 2 of their courses. The first is the online learning Cert. TESOL with the 1 week teaching experience period (6 hours TP). Seems like a low-cost good deal to me, but I'm not sure if it is "a good deal".
They also offer the opportunity of a 4 week (intensive course?) in the UK or overseas which, covers the exact same syllabus as the above course but, with additional face-to-face tutor support/feedback etc.
They say that their courses are awarded by Ascentis which is approved by the UK's Qualifications & Curriculum Authority etc. etc. They also argue that their Cert. TESOL with the 6 hours of TP is equal to the Trinity TESOL and CELTA?
Can anyone give me some advice as to whether or not their certificate is what they say and specifically, as to whether or not their online followed by practice course is good?
Anyone with any experience of this company?
Thank you to any and all in advance!

Civic Participation Project
The goal of the project is to promote the development of an informed and contributing citizenry for the United States in the 21st century. The University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO) is a metropolitan university with a mission to disseminate knowledge through teaching and research, and by offering public service to the citizens of the state, particularly the residents of the Omaha metropolitan area. The American Democracy Project's goals compliment UNO's own goals, which recognize our particular responsibility to be not only in the community, but of the community.

Defining Civic Engagement
Using Thomas Ehrlich's words, civic engagement is:
- "Working to make a difference in the civic life, our communities, and developing the combination of knowledge, skills, values and motivation to make that difference."
- Promoting the quality of life in a community through both political and non-political processes
Key issues of the American Democracy Project (ADP)
- Social capital" (provided through interaction with others, the development of trust, a sense of linkage between people, participation in community) is on the decline
- Primary and secondary civics education is declining
- A sense of personal entitlement is on the increase
- The politics of polarization is increasing
- Rates of political participation are decreasing
- Support for higher education is declining
- The interest in democracy is increasing abroad
AASCU at UNO
The Civic Participation Project provides opportunities for the campus to:
- Focus on issues related to citizenship and civic engagement at an institutional level (the distinction between engaged students and an engaged campus)
- Integrate civic engagement with our planning and accreditation processes through our strategic plan
- Research, describe and celebrate the breadth and depth of civic engagement activities already present on our campus
- Engage in broad conversations about the role of civic engagement in our undergraduate and graduate programs
- Enhance and extend curricular and co-curricular engagement activities
Additionally, the Civic Participation project is unique at UNO. While there are many examples of activities on campus that fit the definition of student civic engagement, the Civic Participation Project focuses at an institutional level where the chancellor, vice chancellors, and the entire university community become involved. Additionally, AASCU encourages the development of linkages between those on campus who are "engaged" as well as forming or deepening relationships with the broader local community and with other campuses.
Student Learning Outcomes
- To increase the understanding of democracy's conceptual and historical roots
- To create an understanding of contemporary issues and events
- To provide opportunities to learn and experience core processes of civic engagement
- To develop a commitment to take action and become involved in the life of the community
How to get involved
Faculty, staff and students are invited to learn more and to get involved at whatever level they wish. This website is an excellent place to begin.
Each campus is asked to:
- Year one: Undertake a campus audit of civic engagement, begin campus conversations and identify possible projects
- Years two and three: Undertake activities designed by the campus based on institutional mission, local circumstances and campus-generated initiatives
Presentations at the ADP national and regional meetings address:
- Innovative teaching/learning strategies
- Model voter education and registration strategies
- New national programs
- Assessment ideas
Other opportunities for action:
- First year programs
- General education
- Faculty development
- Elections
- Campus culture
- Assessment
- Service Learning
- Co-curricula
- Community
Available resources
AASCU provides important non-monetary support. Campus resources or other public or private sources must provide funding for activities initiated by the campus. UNO's Office of Academic and Student Affairs has provided small seed grants for such initiatives.

2007 Acura Cars
As the pioneer of luxury brands among the Japanese Big Three, Acura carved out a position, but the Honda-owned marque hasn't necessarily protected it well. Honda introduced Acura to the U.S. in 1986 with two primary aims: ensuring it was exporting the highest-value-added vehicles possible under America's "voluntary" restraints; and taking Honda upscale in the crucial U.S. market. Acura's first two models were the Legend, a V-6-powered sedan derived from Honda's reliable Accord platform, and Integra, available as a five-door and three-door hatchback. Acura established enough of a foothold, quickly enough, that Honda considered it a strategic success; within three years, Toyota and Nissan had copy-catted with their own luxury brands. By 1991, Acura introduced the NSX, a midship, V6-powered, rear-wheel-drive sports car -- and the world's first all-aluminum production car. During the Nineties, however, Acura sales lagged as Honda failed to put enough R&D and marketing emphasis on its luxury division. Over the last several years, company leadership has come to understand earlier mistakes and has supplied Acura with unique models that have helped revive the marque, beginning with the TL sedan. The MDX, based on the Honda Odyssey minivan, became a popular three-row crossover. For 2009, Acura introduced all-new TL and TSX models, extending its successful branding departure from Honda.

Box Score
PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Senior midfielder Myles Gillespie (Rye, N.Y.) scored a goal with 3:33 remaining in the fourth quarter, to break an 8-8 tie and lift the Holy Cross men's lacrosse team to a 9-8 victory over Rutgers at the Rutgers Turf Field. Senior midfielder John Hannan (Manhasset, N.Y.) also had an outstanding afternoon, leading the Crusaders with three goals scored. Holy Cross improves to 3-2 on the season with the win, while the Scarlet Knights fall to 2-4 overall.
Rutgers looked to be in control of the game early on, jumping out to an early 4-0 in the first eight minutes of the first quarter. Senior attackman James Kennedy (Summit, N.J.) put the Crusaders on the board with 1:34 to go in the quarter, then Holy Cross scored three unanswered goals in the second quarter to tie up the contest at 4-4 heading into halftime. Senior midfielder Jack Curran (Verona, N.J.), junior midfielder Kyle Kadlick (West Roxbury, Mass.) and junior midfielder Matt Smith (North Bethesda, Md.) each netted a goal during that run.
Holy Cross claimed its first lead of the day on a goal by Hannan early in the third quarter, before Rutgers netted the next two goals to claim a 6-5 advantage. The Crusaders responded by scoring three straight goals, two from Hannan and one by sophomore midfielder Terry McKenna (Summit, N.J.), to pull back in front 8-6 heading into the fourth quarter.
The Scarlet Knights would get a pair of goals from Scott Klimchak in the final period, tying the score back up at 8-8 with 3:49 left to play. But Gillespie scored off a pass from McKenna less than 30 seconds later, to give Holy Cross the lead for good. Freshman goaltender Michael Ortlieb (Newport Beach, Calif.) then made a pair of saves in the closing minutes as the Crusaders held on for the win.
Ortlieb finished the day with 13 saves and only eight goals allowed in 60 minutes of action, to earn his first career victory. Kris Alleyne took the loss for Rutgers, allowing nine goals while making 12 saves.
The Crusaders return to action on Saturday, March 9, when they travel to Hamilton, N.Y., to start Patriot League play against No. 16 Colgate at 2:00 p.m.

1st water test:
So my tank has been set up for almost a week and here are the readings:
pH: 7.3-7.5ish
Nitrite: 0ppm
Ammonia 0ppm
Don't have a Nitrate test kit how badly do I need one?
Also, since the bad stuff is at 0ppm is it still necessary to do a 50% water change? (No EI dosing just excel).
This tank is my 20g in my sig
Are you doing a fishless cycle?
Get shrimped out!
you should invest in a master test kit , they are about $75 on amazon , you should really know your gH , kH , ammonia , nitrite , nitrate and ph . just remember to pick species suited for your parameters . I wouldn't do a massive 50% change at once try to stagger over a week at least, or just do a 20%
Nah, you don't need a master kit. An NH4 and NO3 kit is enough.
You need ammonia to start the cycling. Throw in a few sinking fish food to let it rot and release NH4.
I'll probably end up buying a Nitrate kit.
A few flakes in probably would be a good idea...
What if I put some RCS in? Too soon?
I put a lot of fish food in and only did like one water change during the cycle and one when it was finished.
Get shrimped out!
Also WAY too soon for shrimp. They are MUCH more sensitive to ammonia and by the sound of it, your cycle hasn't even started. Add more food. You need an ammonia source to start the cycle.
Get shrimped out!
AND it will take up to a month or even longer to finish the cycle.
Get shrimped out!
Here is the fishless cycle:
Fishless Cycle
You too can boast that "No fish were harmed in the cycling of your new tank"
Cycling a tank means to grow the beneficial bacteria that will help to decompose the fish waste (especially ammonia). These bacteria need ammonia to grow. There are 3 sources of ammonia that work to do this. One is fish. Unfortunately, the process exposes the fish to ammonia, which burns their gills, and nitrite, which makes their blood unable to carry oxygen. This often kills the fish.
Another source is decomposing protein. You could cycle your tank by adding fish food or a dead fish or shellfish. You do not know how much beneficial bacteria you are growing, though.
The best source of ammonia is... Ammonia. In a bottle.
Using fish is a delicate balance of water changes to keep the toxins low (try not to hurt the fish) but keep feeding the bacteria. It can take 4 to 8 weeks to cycle a tank this way, and can cost the lives of several fish. When you are done you have grown a small bacteria population that still needs to be nurtured to increase its population. You cannot, at the end of a fish-in cycle, fully stock your tank.
The fishless/ammonia cycle takes as little as 3 weeks, and can be even faster, grows a BIG bacteria population, and does not harm fish in any way.
Both methods give you plenty of practice using your test kit.
How to cycle a tank the fishless way:
1) Make sure all equipment is working, fill with water that has all the stuff you will need for the fish you intend to keep. Dechlorinator, minerals for GH or KH adjustments, the proper salt mix, if you are creating a brackish or marine tank. These bacteria require a few minerals, so make sure the GH and KH is at least 3 German degrees of hardness. Aquarium plant fertilizer containing phosphate should be added if the water has no phosphate. They grow best when the pH is in the 7s. Good water movement, fairly warm (mid to upper 70sF), no antibiotics or other toxins.
2) (Optional)Add some source of the bacteria. Used filter media from a cycled tank is best, gravel or some decorations or a few plants... even some water, though this is the poorest source of the beneficial bacteria.
Bacteria in a bottle can be a source of these bacteria, but make sure you are getting Nitrospira spp of bacteria. All other 'bacteria in a bottle' products have the wrong bacteria. This step is optional. The proper bacteria will find the tank even if you make no effort to add them. Live plants may bring in these bacteria on their leaves and stems.
3) Add ammonia until the test reads 5 ppm. This is the non-sudsing, no surfactants, no-fragrance-added ammonia that is often found in a hardware store, discount stores, and sometimes in a grocery store. The concentration of ammonia may not be the same in all bottles. Try adding 5 drops per 10 gallons, then allowing the filter to circulate for about an hour, then test. If the reading isn't up to 5 ppm, add a few more drops and test again. (Example, if your test reads only 2 ppm, then add another 5 drops) Some ammonia is such a weak dilution you may need to add several ounces to get a reading.
4) Test for ammonia daily, and add enough to keep the reading at 5 ppm. You probably will not have to add much, if any, in the first few days, unless you added a good amount of bacteria to jump start the cycle.
5) Several days after you start, begin testing for nitrites. When the nitrites show up, reduce the amount of ammonia you add so the test shows 3ppm. (Add only half as much ammonia as you were adding in part 4) Add this reduced amount daily from now until the tank is cycled.
If the nitrites get too high (over 5 ppm), do a water change. The bacteria growth is slowed because of the high nitrites. Reducing the level of ammonia to 3 ppm should prevent the nitrite from getting over 5 ppm.
6) Continue testing, and adding ammonia daily. The nitrates will likely show up about 2 weeks after you started. Keep monitoring, and watch for 0 ppm ammonia, 0 ppm nitrite and rising nitrates.
7) Once the 0 ppm ammonia and nitrites shows up it may bounce around a little bit for a day or two. Be patient. Keep adding the ammonia; keep testing ammonia, nitrite and nitrate.
When it seems done you can challenge the system by adding more than a regular dose of ammonia, and the bacteria should be able to remove the ammonia and nitrite by the next day.
If you will not be adding fish right away continue to add the ammonia to keep the bacteria fed.
8) When you are ready to add the fish, do at least one water change, and it may take a couple of them, to reduce the nitrate to safe levels (as low as possible, certainly below 10 ppm) I have seen nitrate approaching 200 ppm by the end of this fishless cycle in a non-planted tank.
9) You can plant a tank that is being cycled this way at any point during the process. If you plant early, the plants will be well rooted, and better able to handle the disruption of the water change.
Yes, the plants will use some of the ammonia and the nitrates. They are part of the nitrogen handling system, part of the biofilter, they are working for you. Some plants do not like high ammonia, though. If a certain plant dies, remove it, and only replace it after the cycle is done.
10) The fishless cycle can also be used when you are still working out the details of lighting, plants and other things. If you change the filter, make sure you keep the old media for several weeks or a month. Most of the bacteria have been growing in this media (sponges, floss etc).

Action on Patient Safety - High 5s
The High 5s project was launched by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2006 to address continuing major concerns about patient safety around the world. The High 5s name derives from the Project's original intent to significantly reduce the frequency of 5 challenging patient safety problems in 5 countries over 5 years.
The Mission of the High 5s project is to facilitate implementation and evaluation of standardized patient safety solutions within a global learning community to achieve measurable, significant and sustainable reductions in challenging patient safety problems.
The High 5s project is a patient safety collaboration among a group of countries and the WHO Collaborating Centre for Patient Safety in support of the WHO Patient Safety Programme. The countries collaborating are: Australia, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Singapore, Trinidad and Tobago, and the United States of America.

Re: Spiritual Energy
I am a believer, so I am not against the idea of a religiously themed shirt, but without the title, I don't see how this shirt pertains to this derby specifically. I don't see how it is relevant to the theme in the actual shirt.
Maybe if you re-submit it with the "spiritual" energy more obvious, then it would work. Granted, the cross is spiritual energy, it just doesn't seem that energetic to me. But I may be wrong. Good luck!

Pretty cool. I like it.

Also, the brown in the background will print awful. but hey, why would anyone bother thinking about whether a shirt will look good in real life before voting? Keep doin' what you're doin'... hope you love your horribly printed crapshoot... you voted!
Adder is obviously upset over the fact that there are tons of "amateur" designs on Woot that outshine the kindergarten scratchings that he is trying to market to people on his blog and website. Your skill in creating something that is both beautiful and popular just makes him feel self-conscious about his blatant lack of talent and originality in t-shirt design.
Keep up the good work and don't let Adders bashing get to you. He hides behind his vocabulary, wordy grammar, and poor attempts at wit to confuse or dupe others into thinking he is good at something - Which appers to be being negative and writing crappy blogs and not making popular tshirts.
ctajc wrote:I hope this doesn't get rejected, it shouldn't, coke bottles look a little different. Kind of silly anyways how a bottle can be trademarked... but whatever.
even if the actual coke bottle is, this isn't it. from a cursory look at wiki, the actual coke bottle has a wider base and a narrower mid-section, whereas this bottle seems to have a wider mid-section. wiki goes on to say that a bottle more resembling tgent's was thought about at one point, but having the mid-section wider than the base made it unstable on a conveyor belt. it's just wikipedia... so take from that what you will...
Nice. GMV.
Nice! Excellent colors and composition. GMV!
Re: Cofee Levels Critical
I like the placement... it's over the heart, which isn't technically the energy center for your body but it certainly keeps us going.
Re: donut power
My two year old son drew this after eating all the icing off of a chocolate frosted donut. Proving that donuts are an excellent source of creative energy.
I held the tablet and and asked him "what color?" Then he'd scribble for a second and fold his arms and say "Umm... Blue." (or whatever color). We did a few. We both liked this one best.
Thanks for looking. We hope you like it.

Guess what I've just found?!!!
Doing a general Google search for John Curwen Pottinger I came across the Borough of Richmond upon Thames website. They have a search facility for all entries in their burial registers. Hooray John Curwen was there and the results gave me the date & place of burial, age, last place of residence and the plot references.
Richmond also have a scheme whereby you can volunteer to look after a grave. The council do the general maintenance of the cemeteries, but don't have the finances to weed each grave. So they ask that anyone who visits regularly or who lives nearby considers adopting a grave and look after it. Sounds like a great scheme and one that I am sure that genealogists might well like to become involved in. Wonder if you get to chose which grave you look after, personally I would chose one which had a headstone with plenty of genealogical details on it!!


text: I saw an M1917 or a P-14 at a gun show in 458 Lott or it may have been 458 Win Mag but I think it 458 Lott. I guess the 303 bolt face lends itself better to magnum belted cartridges but I'm not sure which bolt this one had. I did find a US M1917 (or was it the 1903?) armorer's manual on the internet which I think included barrel replacement. Not that it's much different from any other though. The receiver is big but I keep reading all these things about how brittle they are.The British used only the Winchester P-14's as sniper rifles, because they found them the highest quality and the most accurate.

Can I get by with just a few general charts for a trip from Tampa to the Chesapeake?
Tom Wood Responds:
Depending on your draft, you can opt to go through the Okeechobee Waterway, through the Keys just south of Marathon, or all the way to Key West, depending on the time available. The trip to the Chesapeake Bay's entrance at Norfolk, VA, is generally a pretty fast one because of the Gulf Stream adding two to three knots to your speed. But you don't say what time of year this trip will occupy: late summer is hurricane-prone and winter can be really foul. Keep in mind that especially for the portion of the trip around (or across if you're brave) the shallows off Cape Hatteras, the weather plays a vital role.
Choosing individual charts is always a challenge due to the cost. At $16.00 apiece, you can spend over $1,000 to make this trip. If you scrimp, though, you risk putting yourself in danger. An unexpected duck into a port along the route due to deteriorating weather, health, boat-gear failure, or a family emergency will leave you offshore without the necessary information to get back inside.
But there is a simpler way. You can buy three or four mid-scale charts of the coast for $50.00 or $60.00, and then buy the two-and-a-half Maptech chart kits that give the details. The half-kit from Tampa to the Keys, the full kit from the Keys to Jacksonville, and the kit from Jacksonville to Norfolk will fill the bill for less than $250. They don't provide details on every single inlet, but all the major (read as, "easy, large shipping inlets") are there. Then if you have to bail out in Beaufort, NC, you'll at least have a basic chart. If you really want to be ready, buy the Chesapeake Chart Kit too.
Good luck to you.

Meet local artist Chris Lundy this weekend at Art on a Whim
December 15, 2011
The energy and spirit of artist Chris Lundy constantly reflect the love he has for his home in the mountains. The paintings he creates in his Breckenridge studio reflect something much larger: his love for the universe as a whole. As a master and innovator of the Modern Illuminist technique, Lundy's work is all about reflection.
Modern Illuminism is far from a common artistic style. In fact, research shows that Lundy is one of only a handful of people in the world working in the style. While contemporary in approach, composition and form, Modern Illuminism traces its earliest roots to Renaissance painter Matthias Grünewald and later to masters such as Rembrant and William Turner. At its core, and at the core of every one of Lundy's original works, Modern Illuminism is defined by the art of reflecting light through painting.
Lundy stumbled upon his artistic style through years of experimentation with a unique combination of materials. He combines epoxy resins with various mediums to create pieces that literally leave viewers in awe. A constant question in his Breckenridge gallery, Art on a Whim, is, "How on earth was that done?" Many viewers mistake Lundy's works for blown glass, sand, geodes, or other beautiful, naturally occurring materials that have been manipulated and shaped into form on canvas. The reflective quality in Lundy's work comes from the fact that his pieces are anywhere from a single layer to a dozen layers deep. According to fellow artist Leszek Forczek Modern Illuminist painters are, "… determined to create paintings in which there is a sense of space developed through the sequencing of color. Secondly, they cultivated luminosity, or at times an incandescent opalescence, which glowed from within the color." This perfectly describes Lundy's work, as layer upon layer of color glistens and refracts from the canvases he works on. Every Lundy piece changes dramatically with the amount of lighting shown on the painting, giving his work a chameleon like effect as it interacts with the light in the room in which it hangs.
Much of Lundy's inspiration comes from the universe. He was drawn to the cosmos from an early age, ever since he found himself lost amongst the images he discovered in a book of photographs taken by the Hubble Telescope. As such, his work frequently resembles scenes from outer space and reveals the fascination he finds in the sky. The mountains of Breckenridge are a consistent muse for Lundy as well, with many of his works realistic abstractions of the beauty that Summit County has to offer. Lundy moved from the Gulf Coast and settled in Breckenridge a little more than a year ago. Watching the inspiration found in his work transition from the ocean to the mountains has been fascinating. The glue that holds Lundy's collection together and truly separates him from his artistic counterparts is the multi-dimensional, luminescent, color changing, light refracting properties found in every new creation.
One of the constant characteristics in Lundy's work is the passion that he pours into every piece. Lundy says, "I love this beautiful Earth on which we live and I choose to reflect the love I have onto canvas for all the world to see." The appreciation Lundy has for his collectors certainly shows as well. On Monday of this week he rushed off of the mountain after a day of snowboarding to personalize and inscribe a piece for a new collector. His signature inscription reads, "Much love from the mountains! – Chris Lundy."
This weekend Lundy will be taking a break from volunteering at the Dew Tour to mingle with collectors and art appreciators alike at the Art on a Whim gallery. At the young age of 27, Lundy's character is just as fascinating as the artwork he creates. He is a multi-dimensional human being, fascinated by and always learning from the world, while striving to give something beautiful back to it on a daily basis. He will be in the gallery all weekend explaining his work, and you might just catch him demonstrating his techniques as he works on a brand new piece.

'Fitzpatrick probably expected to appear in the stray Sabres game here and there, but he had no idea he'd be getting the call so soon. With Tallinder temporarily crossed off the depth chart with a knee injury, defenseman Richard Smehlik suffered a groin strain after just nine games, prompting Buffalo to call up Campbell. Then on Oct. 26, defensemen Rhett Warrener and Dmitri Kalinin went down with injuries likely to keep them out for at least a month.'

Wenner-Gren Celebrates 70th Anniversary
February marks the Wenner-Gren Foundation's 70th anniversary. The Foundation (then known as The Viking Fund) was incorporated in 1941 at the behest of Axel Wenner-Gren with a donation of $2 million dollars. Today the Foundation provides over $5 million dollars each year in support of Anthropology worldwide.
To commemorate its anniversary, the Foundation has added a new History section to its website featuring a number of resources for visitors interested in the Foundation and its role in discipline history. Chief among these are recordings from the renowned Wenner-Gren Supper Conference series, which visitors can stream and listen to announcements of discoveries and critical analysis from such eminent figures as Ruth Benedict, Louis B. Leakey, Raymond Firth, and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, as they presented their ground-breaking research to their academic peers and colleagues.
Along with a brief "Story and People of Wenner-Gren," the new History section also provides comprehensive listings of Foundation symposia and publications; a gallery of its renowned Viking Fund Medalists; and a Photo Archive highlighting the many people, locations, and events that helped make the Wenner-Gren Foundation the pre-eminent source of private funding dedicated to the advancement of anthropology throughout the world.

As title says..
Molex conectors, stock greebs, scope mounts... do you just glue them on or did you screw them on?
I have a ROTJ so none of the parts apply except for stock greebs, which I went out and found the smallest and thinnest finishing screws I could get my hands on. You can't even tell they are there.
I used Plastiweld. You can get it from Wal-Mart near the paints section with all of the glues. It's an epoxy that welds plastic together. It works exceedingly well on resins.
Well I have one of TD-4242's resin kits. I attached my scope to the top of the mounts by drilling holes into both the scope and mounts and used metal pins to pin the part in place and secured everything with Household Goop. Self tapping screws and goop hold the bracket to the stock and pistol grip.
CA glue...
thx guys,
I forgot to mention i have a HS bronze Webley,
So do I glue on the resin scope mounts to the barrel?
Should i use Goop for that or CA glue?
Oh, I forgot about your bronze blaster. For metal, use JB Weld, when it dries, it's more or less steel, it's made for gluing together metals. I also use it when I need something to really stick to another.
My toe spikes broke once and I just glued them back together with JB Weld. No matter how many times I accidentally kick something, they haven't broken since. With my FP armour, I filled the dents on the backplate with JB Weld, it holds 20 times better than Bondo. The only down part is that it takes about 24 hours to dry. They make "JB Weld Quick," but if you want it to dry in 5 minutes, you're giving up durability.
Popped out like an ice cube;)
I wonder what they will do if this happens to the JB project backplate?:facepalm
thx again!
super glue with accelerator works great and can be sanded. Glues metal fantastically!

Not surprized - the Canon P & S's are generally very good.
This puts me in a bit of a pickle as I wanted to get the Panasonic DMC-TZ5.
Looks like an excellent camera. What I also like about it is that it's thinner and more pocketable than the SX100. It's a credible alternative to the larger, bulkier SLR-like superzooms.
Canon SX110 or Panasonic TZ5 - tough choice?
I currently use the SX100 and it is a superb camera. I have also used the Panasonic TZ3. All I can say, JimmyDee, is go for the Canon. This review - and in particular the images - confirm Canon's superiority. With the SX110 you'll get a slightly better spec than the SX100.
Like Bobsta and JimmyDee, I too was considering the Panasonic TZ5 but before I took the leap into Digital with my Olympus C-750 I had used a Canon A1 35mm for years, and I mean YEARS with not one camera fault showing up. Canon and Nikon lenses are the best in the world while maintaining some balance between cost and common sense.
I therefore plucked up the courage of my convictions, and after reading the spec sheets and pre-launch reviews of the SX110 I abandoned the idea of going for the TZ5 - and am so glad I did.
What you get with Canon's SX110 is years of photographic experience - this beast was not as easy (for me) to get to grips with at first, but after a couple of days, the menu systems became pretty obvious in most things. One thing that surprised me was the minimum aperture is F8 which I didn't realise beforehand - but as most lenses give their best performance at f8 or f5.6 this is not a problem unless you want long time exposures, eg to blur moving water, while using a tripod - 3/4 to 2 seconds etc. I still have my cokin Neutral Density filters for such situations so its not a problem.
In every other respect, the camera outperforms in every area when compared to my Olympus C-750 which I sold recently. Better than this, it outperforms in every area of my expectations - the sharpness of the lens, through the range, is incredible. The optical image stabilisation is done using ceramic guides which tweak the lens at the moment of exposure - when your back is against the wall, this gives you approx two stops extra hand holding stability - and of course, on a tripod at full zoom the IS completely secures a sharp image for you.
Macro, which is one of my great interests, performs stunningly, and the colours (try shooting flowers - wow!) are correctly saturated leaving little for photoshop to do.
I am SO glad I gave up on the Panasonic and bought this (3 weeks ago) and had I known how good this was I would have gone for the SX100 last year - still, just as well I suppose, the 3" LCD makes it an even better image making machine - If I may add, I bought a Manfrotto Modo Maxi tripod with integrated head - this has a 'leg spread' setting where the tripod head is about six inches from the ground (the tripod centre column unscrews just under the head to allow this to work) If you are into macro, grab one now - I paid about 45 quid which, given the quality and lightness (under a kg) is great - its only suitable for light cameras and partners my SX110 brilliantly!
So, go out and buy an SX110 now, or, next year when they replace it (SX120?) buy that instead!
Happy photography, Ross
On the whole I really like the SX110. I feel that the only real downside is the high CCD noise when using high ISO settings. Unfortunately, in low light situations this is relatively necessary if you shoot indoors and try to use the zoom at all (see examples here http://digicamtech.blogspot....
Is it all right using it with rechargeable Ni-MH AA batteries, Sony or Sanyo 2100 or 2700 mAh for instance?
Yes it is. I bought it a few days ago, the user guide mentions Ni-MH batteries, it works just fine (unlike a Metz flash years ago, 45 CT1 I believe, the version with alkaline batteries power would be damaged if used with rechargeable batteries).
I just checked out my first tests, many of them in dawn or crepuscule, hendheld and tripod, just _absolutely_great_ camera for the money, I'm still surprised. I was considering it as a family/travel camera but I see now why the vendor was asking if I'm going to use it for job.
I've always had cameras with manual controls and I'm very glad I didn't renounce having them this time, I think they just make easy a lot of otherwise difficult or impossible situations.
So thanks a lot for your comments and thanks to trustedreviews for really helping in the choice.
(BTW, I also had quite similar opinions from expert friends about this camera and its competitors.)
Does anyone know if this uses the same softwaree as the SX100?
After over 50 years with 35mm.cameras, I went digital about 8 years ago. My partner and I now own 4 cameras, all Canon, the latest of which is the superb SX110IS.We like the very clear and easily navigated Canon menu system, which is common to all. The 3" LCD display is very clear and the zoom range is perfect for our photography. I like the pop-up flash which helps to reduce red-eye.Loads of manual options too and that amazing 1 cm. macro! We often print direct from the SD cards to A4 size and cannot fault the results from this camera at anything up to ISO 400.The alignment grid overlay {on all our Canons) is most useful too. Image quality and detail are generally superb. I just wish a live hystogram could be displayed before pressing the release but otherwise another Canon cracker!
I have purchased the cannon sx110 last month and I am facing problem like after coping the images to comuter it looks vary dark , does anyone knows how to increase the brightness.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Sachin, Difficult to make any suggestions with so little info. to go on. I assume you are happy with the images on the camera screen so your exposures should be ok. The camera metering system is very good normally. Make sure you're not set to spot metering - can be a bit tricky to select the right subject area for this. Have you made any prints from images? That's almost the ultimate test for a satisfactory picture! If you bought the camera from a local dealer, have a chat with the guy who sold it to you, with some samples if possible. Computer stored images can be greatly improved in almost any of the photo programs available. Googles "Picasa3" is a freebie download and quite useful. It has a nice horizon straightening feature too! Don't give up. Dave Bate
Hi, Sachin,Are you still there and were my detailed comments of April 9 of any value?
Some response would be appreciated! Dave Bate
I'd like to try out my new sx 110 but I can't open the battery/SD compartment. What's the trick?
Does anyone have any comments on the canon powershot sx110 is vs. the fujifilm finepix s1500?
I have read elsewhere that this camera has rather heavy battery usage - anuyone have any comments ?
I have had this camera for 3 weeks now and I really enjoy taking photos with it.
I have mainly used it outdoors in good lighting so I can say the battrey life is great. Just make sure you switch from continuous image stabilisation to single shot. I get about 300 shots from a pair of Sanyo Eneloop's. The flash is slow to recharge so I wouldn't buy this for indoor use. But then again what would you do with a 10x zoom indoors anyway.
Thanks, that was my only concern. Sadly I've missed the cashback offer but financial constraints are in place until payday.
Hi, TheMirkster said that he/she wouldn't recommend this camera for indoor use. I unfortunately can't afford to buy more than one camera at a time, so I need one that works equally well inside and outside. I really like the sound of this camera, especially the zoom, but I'm a little worried now about how it works indoors. Is it really that bad? What would other people advise?
Thanks for all your help!
Provided there is adequate illumination on the subject this camera produces nice quality photographs. I found it to be an adequate travel camera outdoors in brilliant light. However in less than ideal conditions the camera produces images so soft that all detail is regretfully gone.
Hello Everybody,
I have bought this camera on January 10th,2009. Now from that time onwards this camera has caused immense headache. I use a pair of Sanyo 2700mAh rechargable battery, but somehow even after charging the batteries fully, it lasts only for 2 hrs at a stretch maximum when used in this camera. I previously felt that something is wrong with the Batteries and got it checked. Also have used the same batteries with other gadgets and seems like the batteries work fine. Makes me guess there is something wrong with the camera. It draws tooooooooooo much charge. I called up the Canon peoiple and they recomended me to use Uniross batteries. Though i havent used Uniross, i would like to get advice from others about what batteries to use for longer battery life?
Subham Das
I bought this camera around December last year and it's been absolutely fantastic! In reply to Subham Das, I've recently been using Energizer Lithium +AA Batteries which cost around £6 for a pack of 6 and I seriously advise you to buy these!!! I went on holiday for two weeks and took my camera and I only used one pair of batteries for the whole fortnight. Unfortunately, these are just single use yet somebody told me that you can buy them as rechargables aswell so I'm currently on the hunt for some as I was so impressed!
Hope this helps
