|I've never raised two female puppies together but I did raise two males from the same litter. They did fine their whole lives.
We have female litter mates, they have turnout well, no issues, they'll be four in July. We kept them busy with training for the first two years or so, my wife worked one and I the other. Its said here, you should keep them separated most of the time in order to build a bond with them or they could end up bonding more with each other, however we didn't do this. We kept them in a spare room together while at work until they eventually got the freedom to roam the house. We trained separately for most classes, only had two classes together and that was later on due to timing and class availability.
Even though we did a number of things "wrong", I think between constant training and a little luck, our situation worked out. There's a thread on raising two pups here that you might want to check out.

|Your daughter and her 2 sister pups are lucky to have your support. I can't speak from experience as I have only every had one dog at a time. Sometimes one brings about what one fears, so I can recommend positive thinking I would think having them as sister pups would be a strong factor in them getting along as other threads that I have been on mention that the bond can be very strong in sibling pups who are raised together. Again from other threads, problems can happen also with 2 male puppies. For raising 2 sibling gsd pups, my breeder did sell 2 male pups from the same litter. And it turned out very well and the couple also had a dachshund. Like you, they had a plan and the pups were trained. One pup was more stubborn and bold, the other more easy going and easier to train. When the dogs were a year-old, they visited the breeder who posted a photo - both dogs sitting so nicely, and she commented that they were very well behaved. So best of luck with your 2 sister pups!
Two Female GSD Rescues - 2 puppies at the same time (no yelling please - admin)
Our daughter rescued two female sister GSD mixes @ 10 wks old. At the time, she was not aware of the female/female issues that can occur. She will be spaying them. They are now 13 wks old. My husband and I are available and assist her in raising/training them. We are around to have regular daily contact with them. They are in basic obedience training now and we work with them several times a day. We hope to succeed in keeping the girls together, but are very aware of what could happen. When they do romp, it is 50/50 as to who will dominate. What tips or guidance can anyone provide what are your experiences here and who has had success in this situation? Thanks for any additional insight...

A project I'm working on for an approximately half-billion dollar company in the health care industry has forced me to revisit Hyper-V versus VMware after a long period of inattention on my part, and it has become apparent that Hyper-V has made significant progress as a viable platform for at least medium enterprises. My key takeaways include:

As a follow-up to my blog post yesterday, there's another area that's worth noting in the resurgence of interest in BC preparedness, and that's standards. For a long time, we've had a multitude of both industry and government standards on BCM management including Australian Standards BCP Guidelines, Singapore Standard for Business Continuity / Disaster Recovery Service Providers (which became much of the foundation for ISO 24762 IT Disaster Recovery), FFIEC BCP Handbook, NIST Contingency Planning Guide, NFPA 1600, BS 25999 (which will become much of the foundation for the soon to be released ISO 22301), ISO 27031, etc. There are also standards in other domains that touch on BC, security standards like ISO 27001/27002.
And when you come down to it, several of the broad risk management standards like ISO 31000 are applicable. At the end of the day, the same risk management disciplines underpin BC, DR, security and enterprise risk management. You conduct a BIA, risk assessment, then either accept, transfer or mitigate the risk, develop contingency plans, and make sure to keep the plans up to date and tested.
In my most recent research into various BCM software vendors and BC consultancies, as well as input from Forrester clients, BS 25999 seems to be the standard with the most interest and adoption. In the US at least, part of this I attribute to the fact that BS 25999 is now one of the recognized standards for US Department of Homeland Security's Voluntary Private Sector Preparedness Accreditation and Certification Program. The other standards are NFPA 1600 and ASIS SPC.1-2009. I've heard very few Forrester clients mention the latter as their standard.

During the last 12 to 18 months, there have been a number of notable natural catastrophes and weather related events. Devastating earthquakes hit Haiti, Chile, China, New Zealand, and Japan. Monsoon floods killed thousands in Pakistan, and a series of floods forced the evacuation of thousands from Queensland. And of course, there was the completely unusual, when for example, ash from the erupting Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland forced the shutdown of much of Western Europe's airspace. These high profile events, together with greater awareness and increased regulation, have renewed interest in improving business continuity and disaster recovery preparedness. Last quarter, I published a report on this trend: Business Continuity And Disaster Recovery Are Top IT Priorities For 2010 And 2011.

Welcome to a new feature on Arsenal.com - Talking Heads.
Before and after every first-team fixture our MatchDay Show team - and an Arsenal blogger - will have their say on the match.
Arsenal took on Blackburn in the Premier League on Saturday and our Talking Heads for this game were Dan Roebuck, Kenny Sansom and Tim Clark of Arse2Mouse.
Read on for their post-match comments.
Well, what can you say after that? Arsenal came, they saw and they conquered. Blackburn were simply swept away by a maginificent display at the Emirates. We've all run out of superlatives for Robin van Persie now, so I won't even try to add any more to the equation. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain did his potential international hopes no harm with another fine display, while Theo Walcott was back with a bang to lay on three goals for his team-mates. All in all, a fine day at the office. Onwards and upwards to Sunderland.
The challenge for Arsène Wenger's side is to take all their frustration from the midweek draw at Bolton out on Blackburn and register that first league win of 2012. The 4-3 defeat at Ewood Park earlier in the season was galling to say the least, and that should add extra motivation for Arsenal on Saturday. There have been some signs of improvement from Steve Kean's side in recent weeks, although the home defeat to Newcastle suggests no corners have been turned, but the Gunners really should have too much for them. With the unsettled Chris Samba not considered for selection, Arsenal must fill their boots and start climbing the table again, and I think they'll do exactly that.
Well, that's exactly the kind of response Arsène Wenger would have wanted from his team. To get seven goals anywhere, against any side, is always a fantastic achievement and Arsenal fans will be absolutely delighted with this scoreline. Blackburn were not at the races today and Givet's red card definitely didn't help, but Arsenal looked good from the word go. Here's hoping this is not just a one-off and that the team can push on next week to get another win at Sunderland.
Following the draw at the Reebok, Arsenal have got to learn to take their chances, so who better to face than one of the leakiest defences in the league? Robin van Persie has been on fire for the past 12 months and he must be licking his lips in anticipation of this one, especially as Chris Samba doesn't sound like he will be playing. Arsenal have been threatening to run riot against someone, and hopefully Blackburn will be that team. I expect the likes of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Theo Walcott and Van Persie to have too much for Steve Kean's side to contain.
Well, that made a mockery of my prediction that it would be a tough game. Without Christopher Samba and Yakubu, and eventually without Givet thanks to his ludicrously dangerous lunge, Blackburn were there for the taking. And take them we most certainly did. I said beforehand that we needed to improve our finishing and final balls. On Saturday; Theo, the Ox and RvP delivered a masterclass in both, registering the biggest goal haul since the move to the Emirates. And after the run we have been on, it couldn't have come at a better time. The manager, players and fans all needed a morale boost, and more than anything it was just good to see so many smiles in the stands and on the pitch. A win, no matter how heavy, against a beleaguered Rovers side won't change the course of our season though. But the result should see us head up to Sunderland next Saturday full of confidence. If we're going to finish fourth there's no more room for slip-ups. Win that and we can start talking about putting a run together. I intend to keep wearing my lucky long johns in the meantime.
After our disappointingly loveless grind against Bolton in midweek, the manager came out and said every league game from here until the end of the season will be a cup final. I suppose that's true, but it also triggered a 'Nam-style flashback of my visit to Wembley last year. Hopefully Saturday's game against Blackburn will be less collapsey. From the sound of his press conference today, it seems like Arsène is considering changes on the pitch. And at this point, why not? The booing of Arshavin when he wasn't even on the pitch last Saturday was shameful and I'd like to see him given a chance in the Ramsey role. It's our final ball and finishing that are lacking, and if he could find some form it would be a huge help. Anything less than a win and it's going to get very frosty.

I'm still using steel .45 ACP cases from WW2. I reload 'em 'till they crack, and then I throw 'em away.
(You really need a carbide sizing die to reload steel cases, though.)
I think that the problem is not the steel cases, but rather that some bullets are jacketed in "mild" steel.
Steel-jacketed bullets may be bad for your gun's barrel, even though they are plated with a softer metal surface.

I have for some month started to check what the SE got diffrent compair from the ROTJ.
I piced SE becouse I loved the ESB helmet, and liked the ROTJ armor. But when I'm building a costume I want it to be as acurate as posible, so I have long tryed to find out what's as closed as an SE you can come. And I have been verry confused.
There aren't any pictures that's the same, allways something that's not the same.
Sometimes it's no toespikes, the shinn tools switches places all the time. One knee is Pre pro 2,
the ammo belt got 9-12 pouches, and 2 with buttons on, the girth is sometimes over and sometimes under the ammobelt, the belt pouches are sometimes 1 ROTJ 1 ESB and sometimes they got exactly the same collor, sometimes the cape got the ROTJ attatchment and sometimes it dosen't, the Jetpack got a big dmg, a big hole. and more and more....
I have feelt that this is quite annoying to not know what's exactly SE. If I go on the behinde the screen, the JP got the dmg, the girth is over the ammo belt, the boots got no toe spikes, the cape got no keyboard buttons attatchment etc etc, not verry nice
If I go for the other pictures there isn't manny pictures that arn't the same, but all pictures got one thing that's on every picture... the rocket on the gauntlet got a tube, and I don't! Like that!
So if I decides keep going for an acuurate SE suit, I must, get a pre pro 2 knee (wich I don't thinks is nice painted), i have to buy some more ammo pouches, the gun got a verry strange sight, looks like it's half. And I still need that tube on the gauntlet.
Now some of you may say, don't cair about the tiny detailes, just take ROTJ suit and ESB helmet and be happy, and maybe you guys are right, but then I can't feel like, this suit is acurate.
And I'm starting to feel like i'm more and more on the way to an ROTJ suit, and maybe I should change my mind and go for the ROTJ ??? Becouse now everything is like an ROTJ suit... the knees, the ammor belt, the JP etc etc.
And, I love the boots with toespikes, I wana feel, where I got my shinn tools, THAT'S the place they'r suposte to be. I don't like the pre pro 2 knee, the girth is not nice when it's over the ammo belt, and the rocket is ugly with a tube. The cape should have the ROTJ key borad buttons. etc etc. I'm starting to feel like I'm more close to an ROTJ now.
But now I need advice?
Should I keep going for SE and just chouse a picture and go for evrything on that one, even if it may result that some parts wont be verry nice. Or should I get more parts that's ROTJ, the blaster, the boots, wookie braids, and don't cair about the SE any more, and have a goal that some day buy an ROTJ helmet and sell my MR helmet (or keep it). Or should I just get everything ROTJ (as I have now) and keep going for the SE , but don't cair about all diffrens that the SE suit got compair from ROTJ, just watch ROTJ pictures and make one that's 90% ROTJ but the last 10% is the ESB helmet ???
Please help me

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by shan, Apr 5, 2012.
I'm excited because it's "Songs from the 1980's"!!
I hope they don't pick a bunch of stoopid drippy ballads.
Yeah, me too.
Gwen Stefani is mentoring.
A songlist was posted by Idol on FB but not who was singing what. I saw one or two horribly cliched ballads that I am sure Sanchez snapped up but also saw some fun and interesting choices.
Deandre sounds very good, but he bores me. It's all hair flipping and weird dancing...
Deandre getting the unneccessary tongue bathing from the judges. I don't get it. The tone was off to me. Didn't like it.
at Ryan trying to sing.
I thought I knew every song ever from the 80s. I did not recognize Deandre's Debarge song.
ETA: I hope Elise does Hot Blooded and not I Wanna Know What Love Is.
I think you willed it to happen!
Elise is uncharacteristically, horribly off-pitch. Nothing like last week.
Its okay honey, no one sounds good singing this song.
Jennifer um... what?
at Steven's critique, it was incomprehensible!
You could, sadly, see that freight train coming from 100 miles away .
And it was....awful . Painfully so. She better pray someone tanks epically, otherwise she's going to get the boot.
Good god, why didn't she pull out the Alison Moyet (much like Adele, only better) songbook? She would have freaking killed "All Cried Out" or "Love Resurrection"
Just tuning in to see Colton and Skylar doing "Islands in the Stream," originally by Kenny and Dolly, I think? Doing a decent job. Skylar sounds good, not a shouty as usual, and he's doing a great job of harmonizing with her.
What exactly is the point of these duets?
Best duet since Allison and Adam -- I really enjoyed that!
I thought Colton and Skylar were cute.
Genesis? Really?
You didnt like the duet Crystal and Lee did? as one dimensional as Lee's voice was, I loved the duet that they did!
Filler. I prefer it to the types of filler they normally use. I'm all for seeing more of the contestants performing, rather than pointless fluff and miscellaneous BS.
Couldn't they just go back to hour long shows?
Nope. That would mean fewer ads and less cash.
Phillip with Genesis' "That's All." Not a great vocal. He really doesn't have much range at all, as has been pointed out in previous weeks. This is his worst performance yet, IMO.
Something seemed off about that entire performance...
I usually like Phillip, but this song is not working for me. Not sure if it's him or if it's the fact that I hate Genesis and this song in particular.
i thought this song was lame when it was new
on the bright side, he sounds better than the original /faint praise]

Hello, I have been searching the forum for this subject but can't seem to find it.
I have 5 years of English teaching experience, from primary school to certificate courses.
I have never needed a TEFL certificate as all my positions came when I aplied in person and they were satisfied with what I already had as qualifications.
Now I would like to apply abroad via electronic CV. Could anyone tell me if an online course would be a good option for me seeing as I have the experience needed already as employers will be looking at the CV on face value I assume.
Is it just as valid?
Many thanks, all the best,

Broad Irony
Michael Mann and Gavin Schmidt
[update 3/20/07: The New York Times has run a short letter from us w/ a link to RealClimate for more info (scroll down to 5th letter; the 2nd letter from James McCarthy of Harvard is quite good too, as are some of the others).]
The first rule when criticizing popular science presentations for inaccuracies should be to double check any 'facts' you use. It is rather ironic then that William Broad's latest piece on Al Gore plays just as loose with them as he accuses Gore of doing.
We criticized William Broad previously (Broadly Misleading) for a piece that misrepresented the scientific understanding of the factors that drive climate change over millions of years, systematically understating the scientifically-established role of greenhouse gases, and over-stating the role of natural factors including those as speculative as cosmic rays (see our recent discussion here). In this piece, Broad attempts to discredit Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" by exaggerating the legitimate, but minor, criticisms of his treatment of the science by experts on climate science, and presenting specious or unsubstantiated criticisms by a small number of the usual, well-known contrarians who wouldn't agree even if Gore read aloud from the latest IPCC report.
Broad starts out by quoting Don Easterbrook (Western Washington University) with a statement,
there are a lot of inaccuracies in the statements we are seeing, and we have to temper that with real data.
Thrown in for good measure is a similarly poorly-supported quote by Kevin Vranes (who is referred to as a climatologist, but who now works on science policy) that
questioned whether his [Gore's] presentations were overselling our certainty about knowing the future.
Unfortunately, neither Easterbrook's inaccuracies nor Vranes oversold certainties are mentioned. We reviewed the movie ourselves, looking hard for such 'inaccuracies', and could only find one minor area (the explanation of the complex relationship between the global surface temperatures and greenhouse gas concentrations over glacial/interglacial cycles) where justified criticism might be levied (and here, the accusation was only that Gore simplified a complicated relationship, something that is arguably unavoidable in a movie intended for mass popular consumption).
Broad then draws upon the same false dichotomy used previously which seems to equate the mainstream of scientific opinion (that global warming and climate change is real, almost certainly in large part anthropogenic, and likely to lead to substantial and potentially deleterious changes in our environment if no action is taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions) with "alarmism", and places contrarians at the very fringe of scientific thinking on an equal footing with mainstream scientists. He goes on to trot out a number of the usual suspects, reciting the usual specious claims and half-truths.
Among the worst, is this one
Mr. Gore, who highlights the devastation of Hurricane Katrina and cites research suggesting that global warming will cause both storm frequency and deadliness to rise. Yet this past Atlantic season produced fewer hurricanes than forecasters predicted (five versus nine), and none that hit the United States.

Jason, is there anyway for those who don't have a medscape account to read this article? As the link says you need to have an account to read the piece.
Thanks, Gavin
hmm. I think it is one of those things that you can have access to if you go through google first.
Do a google search on the title and then click on the top link and I bet that will work.
If you are google impaired, not to worry! it is just a Q&A. Here is a copy / paste. Please delete if it is against site policy to post this.
EDIT - Upon further review, you may have to sign up for a medscape acct. It is free at least.
Early Diagnosis Is Critical
Medscape: What are the main challenges in cholangiocarcinoma?
Dr. Kerr: Diagnosis comes too late. The majority of cases are too far advanced for complete removal. Often, all we have is limited palliative treatment. Unless we can diagnose cholangiocarcinoma early and recommend complete surgical resection, there is no curative therapy. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy have important but limited roles in palliation, with slight prolongation of life and slight improvement in symptoms, but we have a serious lack of therapeutic options when the disease presents at an advanced stage.
The epidemiology of cholangiocarcinoma is still somewhat opaque, but we know that such diseases as primary biliary sclerosis, a relatively rare inflammatory condition, cause a narrowing of the bile duct system that is associated with increased risk. More attention is being paid to screening and watching carefully over patients with primary biliary sclerosis for early signs of cancer so that we can offer surgical intervention.
The incidence of cholangiocarcinoma is only 1-2 per 100,000 persons, so no population screening program would be even remotely cost-effective.
Medscape: Are there any early warning signs of cholangiocarcinoma?
Dr. Kerr: Many cases are relatively silent clinically until they are quite advanced. The presentation at that point is typically jaundice, often accompanied by pain. Usually, the primary care physician would quickly refer a patient presenting with jaundice for a thorough work-up with ultrasonography, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), or whatever is required, but the patient who presents with vague upper abdominal pain is more likely to spend some time in primary or community care with painkillers, antacids, or a whole host of other reasonable over-the-counter therapeutic options. Often by the time the patient presents with jaundice, the disease may be too advanced for complete resection.
Specialist Multidisciplinary Teams Improve Care
Medscape: What is the standard of care for operable cholangiocarcinoma?
Dr. Kerr: Ideally, best care would include rapid referral of patients who have undergone the appropriate diagnostic and staging procedures, such as ERCP. There is an emerging trend for using endoscopic magnetic resonance pancreatography, but relatively few units have that technology. The main thing is that the patient be referred to a specialist center with good liver surgery facilities that are well supported by good imaging and radiology departments. I have no doubt that we have benefited in Oxford from having a multidisciplinary specialist hepatobiliary cancer team with leading surgeons, plus support from committed radiologists, pathologists, medical and radiation oncologists, and specialist nurses, all of whom want to drive the research agenda forward.
I don't think that there is yet a proven role for either adjuvant chemotherapy or adjuvant radiation therapy in cholangiocarcinoma. In the absence of sufficiently compelling trials, this would be a non-evidence-based intervention and therefore not something one would recommend.
We urgently need more trials in the adjuvant setting following successful or presumed successful surgical resection.
Management of Unresectable Disease
Medscape: What is the standard of care for unresectable cholangiocarcinoma?
Dr. Kerr: The most compelling study was the one by Valle and colleagues[1] comparing cisplatin/gemcitabine vs gemcitabine alone for biliary tract cancer. This well-designed, 400-patient randomized trial showed a significant survival benefit of about 3.5 months for the cisplatin/gemcitabine combination. That is the best evidence we have for combination chemotherapy in advanced cholangiocarcinoma, so at the present moment I think that cisplatin/gemcitabine should be the gold standard for treatment.
There continue to be many phase 2 trials with various chemotherapy couplets,[2,3] sometimes with epidermal growth factor receptor kinase inhibitors,[4,5] with some interesting results. The problem is that for any phase 2 trial, there is a risk for selection bias, so we must not overinterpret those results.
Medscape: What is on the horizon for cholangiocarcinoma?
Dr. Kerr: Because of the drive toward personalized medicine and interest in use of biomarkers to select patients for particular types of drugs, Big Pharma is now paying more attention even to relatively rare tumor types, such as cholangiocarcinoma. For example, MET is a receptor tyrosine kinase triggered by hepatocyte growth factor, and the MET signaling pathway is associated with invasive growth. MET inhibitors are being investigated in several cancers, and it has been estimated that up to 58%% of cholangiocarcinomas have elevated levels of MET expression,[6] so MET inhibitors could be interesting to look at. Over 9% of cholangiocarcinomas also carry the ROS mutation[7] and might be candidates for treatment with ROS inhibitors, such as Pfizer's lung cancer drug Xalkori® (crizotinib), which is also a MET inhibitor and might provide a double-whammy.
Medscape: What about new techniques, such as hepatic transarterial chemoembolization (TACE)?
Dr. Kerr: TACE has seen more rapid development in the Far East, where some studies have suggested interesting response rates in small numbers of patients treated with combinations of cytotoxic drugs and TACE. There are still no randomized trials, and most of the work with TACE has been in primary hepatocellular carcinoma, not cholangiocarcinoma. There are interesting case reports and early studies, but no compelling data that would cause us to take that up more widely.
The Search for Effective Targeted Therapies
Medscape: Have there been any recent surprises in cholangiocarcinoma research?
Dr. Kerr: The biomarker work is becoming very interesting. Looking at the molecular genotype, we are seeing quite a number of mutations. This should allow us to more accurately identify patients with cholangiocarcinoma who might benefit from the new drugs.[8,9] Although cholangiocarcinoma has always been an orphan tumor type, we are seeing much better genomic research that is already starting to throw out some interesting new targets.
Take the ROS mutation as an example. Crizotinib, which has been approved in the United States for treatment of certain types of late-stage, non-small cell lung cancer, appears to be a pretty effective drug. If the same mutation occurs in a different context, such as cholangiocarcinoma or colorectal cancer, are we likely to see the same level of effectiveness?[7] That's at the cutting edge of translational cancer research.
Medscape: So you expect to see advances despite the rarity of the tumor?
Dr. Kerr: Exactly. We have also developed interesting collaborations, such as the INDOX trial network, which sees 100,000 new cases of cholangiocarcinoma each year. This is a beautiful model for bringing together East and West, combining the technology and genomic power in the West and the tumor types that are a more serious disease burden in emerging and developing countries.
Medscape: What is the most important unanswered question in cholangiocarcinoma?
Dr. Kerr: The most urgent is whether the cisplatin/gemcitabine couplet will be useful as adjuvant therapy, because it seems to be the most active treatment that we've got for advanced disease. I'd also like to see greater international collaboration to link the phenotype of the cancers with their genetics so that we can see whether there are subgroups likely to benefit from targeted therapies.
Thanks for that Jason. You're right, I just googled it and the link that came up took me to the full article so that I could read it. Thanks, good tip for all that is!
This is the link:
Hi Marion,
I think that is the same link I posted.
Don't ask me why exactly, but if someone without a medscape account clicks on that link from this board, they will not be able to see the article.
However, if they click on the SAME link that is served up from a google search, they WILL be able to see the article. This actually works with a few news organizations (WSJ, FT, NYT, etc. and apparently medscape). I think it has to do with the organization wanting their site to score higher on google relevancy, but I am not sure.
Anyway, a trick that sometimes works.
Thanks, Jason. I do have a medscape account hence it worked for me. It always is best to refer to open links when posting on this site. Is it possible for you to provide the google or any other link open to the public?
Thanks much,
For those with no Medscape account, this link will work.
https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=chola … p;ie=UTF-8
It is the first link in the above google link.
Thanks, Gavin.

text: I think WHAT weapon you carry is very much subject to the person, The 1911 platform IS fairly heavy but it is thin for a 45 so its fairly easily concealed and accurate well beyond defensive ranges. I have carried one for a LONG time(1st a colt commander then a kimber eclipse ultra SS) and have no problems with them. Some people are more sensitive to the weight so I understand they go for lighter pistols.........IE subjective.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thanks Jet,
I had been considering going that route and as of last week am now the owner of a salvage C4 corvette. I am now wondering if it is better to cut the front and rear subs and link with a custom frame or build a new frame altogether. If I go the subframe route, I would prob just leave the track width the same but obviously need a narrowed midsection.
Has anyone narrowed or seen a narrowed C4 chassis?
Not my cup of tea but I would say what you want would be best done by making your own frame- s-10 is common for vehicles that have stock body
setup. You could use vette suspension and brakes, move the body to where
you would get the weight distribution you want, have a much stiffer frame
and probably spent no more than a cobbled together s-10 frame. Good luck with your vehicle. Jim
Need input on 49 Chevy Truck build
Long time lurker here and have a new project for input:
49 Chevy truck cab
* Quick/good handling chassis suitable for licensed street use as well as occasional autocross events. Think C6 killer in a 49.
* Open wheel vehicle. Rat roddish style cab - chopped, patina but solid/straight with good workmanship. Minimal hood/grill and bed will also be minimal - sides and tailgate but with open floor. Chassis/interior/engine detailed.
* Strong but tractable/reliable engine - 300hp SBC. Engine located as far rearward as possible and still practical.
* Approx. 100-105" WB. Maintain weight about 2500lb.
* As close to 50/50 weight distribution as possible.
* Reasonable budget.
Current plans.
* IFS with solid rear and adjustable coilovers front and rear. Power steering.
* Boxed S10 Frame (?)
* SBC - carb'd/mild cam/headers/head work.
* Trans - undecided if prepped auto or manual. (?)
* Rear diff - have access to a gen4 firebird 3.42/posi/discs (?)
* Tilt column (already have)
* Corvette C6 wheels - 18x8.5/19x10 (already have)
* Recaro style seats/4 points (already have and from a foreign mfr'r not to be named).
* Fuel cell
* Battery (rear located)
* Radiator - rear located. (?)
Thoughts/questions that come to mind:
Is there another chassis I should be looking at besides the S10? The S10 is a pretty common swap on the Chevy AD body and reports are some decent handling vehicles can be made but I am not committed yet. With the positive offset vette wheels, I am pretty sure I am going to have to run spacers to keep the tires off the frame which I don't like. If I go with a wider rearend such as the WS6, I think I will be ok w/o spacers but the front will still need attention. Is there a more suitable chassis I should be considering or other options?
Is there a better/other rear diff you would recommend? Anything I do will required some custom fab for coilover mounts/locating/etc. which I am fine with doing.
Other thoughts/input? THANKS!

So has the debt problem disappeared? Hardly. Although "annual appropriations, including defense, have been capped," notes Robert Bixby of The Concord Coalition, "mandatory spending (entitlements) and interest on the debt continue to grow on autopilot, driven mostly by population aging and its concomitant steadily growing number of beneficiaries. Revenues are growing too, but not by enough to keep up with projected spending."

2008 2 DR jeep wrangler rubicon stretched
Well I am thinking it may be time to get a 4 door. I really do not want to get rid of this jeep but a 4 door would be a lot easier with the family. It is a 2008 rubicon there is a lot of work that has been done on this rig. It has a fresh paint job. The color is orange crush and looks great. The rear was stretched 8" using the Rock Krawler long arm stretch kit. The front is sitting on Rock Krawlers RRD 2-5/8 coilovers. The front grill was cut to clear the 40's at full steer. The interior was bed lined for easier clean up. The jeep has right around 65000 miles on it and will change since i drive it everyday. It will run 75 down the highway no problem. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it across country. It comes with 4 tires and wheels the fifth that is in the tire carrier is a 37 and I will be keeping that one. If you are interested in getting a fifth then I can get a discount on it. After every wheeling trip I always got under the jeep and touched up any scratches to keep it looking clean and keep the rust away. It is very clean underneath. I just got done sand blasting the rear axle and repainted it. All the arms got sanded down and repainted also. The jeep will fit in a standard 7' garage door. The only reason I am wanting to get rid of it is because we have a 1 year old and we take the jeep out a lot so a 4 door will be much easier. I am looking to get 30,500.00

Hi guys this is my almost complete ESB Jetpack.
I never got a chance to take progress pics because I worked on it piecemeal. I used rere earth magnets to assemble the rocket. I also used rare earth magnet disc to secure the base of the rocket to the rest of the jetpack. Thanks to the SaxeCoburg for that idea!
I added the "holes" underneath the cone of the rocket as well. Thanks to Fett4real for showing me that detail... gonna add the white "dot" too!
I'll be getting a stabilizer from Mojo soon but I'll use the resin beacon supplied by MOW until I can find a hollow metal one (with an LED)
I made a placeholder for the dental file using the tip of a Hasbro clonetrooper blaster. (I think you mentioned this Fett4real :thumbsup)When I can get a real one (or casting) I'll get that on.
The thrusters aren't completely painted yet either. I have to add the black details around the center.
I have to add a bit more weathering to the rocket and some other spots and I think I'll be good to go! Thanks to MOW Studios for an awesome prop!!
Edit:forgot to mention the decal! Not sure how I want to handle this one. I may hit up Lucksy for a decal or I may try to make something more thre dimensional. I remember seeing a thread here that discussed that. When I find it I'll make a decision.
Critiques? Comments? Thanks!

IL High School Insider Joe Lombardi, the author of the "Lax with Joe" blog at LaxLessons.com, focuses on the New York/New Jersey/Connecticut tristate region. Joe is also an analyst for the MSG Varsity television network and is the primary author of the new edition of "Lacrosse for Dummies," which was released in 2010. You can follow Joe Lombardi on Twitter @joe_lombardi. You can follow LaxLessons on Twitter @LaxLessons.
It's been a busy week for recruiting news, events and commitments in the tristate region.
The Maverick Showtime National Lacrosse Recruiting Spotlight completed its fifth year at Western Connecticut State University in Danbury.
This year, there were separate all-star games for rising seniors and rising juniors.
University of Maryland-bound Adam DiMillo of Buffalo, N.Y., was MVP of the rising junior game. Alex Concannon of Syosset (N.Y.) earned MVP honors in the rising sophomore game.
For a look at final scores and standouts from both games, check this story from LaxLessons.com.
The first two rising sophomore players from schools in the tristate made commitments this past week.
Brian Willetts, a 6-foot-3 attackman who started at Smithtown East (N.Y.) as a freshman, verballed to North Carolina.
"I considered all the schools in the ACC," Willetts told LaxLessons.com. "It was between Maryland and North Carolina in the end."
For more on Willetts' commitment, and his player profile, check the full LaxLessons.com story.
Another standout attackman with good size and stick skills, Jake Fox, an Orleans, Ontario native who plays at Trinity-Pawling in New York's Hudson Valley, decided on Johns Hopkins.
"JHU offers a high level of academics and it's the only school I looked at that had lacrosse as their No. 1 sport on campus," Fox told LaxLessons.com. "I couldn't be more excited to play for Coach (Dave) Pietramala."
For a look at the other schools Fox considered, and his player profile, check the full LaxLessons.com story.
Two of the leading players from two-time Connecticut state finalist Ridgefield have made commitments.
Will Bonaparte, a rising junior midfielder, verballed to Maryland. He was also considering Johns Hopkins, Syracuse and Navy.
Brett Baker, a rising senior attackman, decided on Bryant.
LaxLessons.com/blog will have more this week on these commitments.
Suffolk County (N.Y.) power Smithtown West also saw top of its top players make commitments.
Rising senior attackman Pat O'Brien decided on Army. For more on his commitment, check this story from LaxLessons.com.
Kyle Mathie became the Bulls' fifth rising junior to make a D-I commitment when he verballed to North Carolina. Mathie is a defenseman/longstick midfielder.
"The main factors in my decision was the coaching staff, educational opportunities and support services," Mathie told LaxLessons.com.
For a look at the other schools he considered and more, check the full LaxLessons story.
Midfielder Casey Hickey of Westhampton (N.Y.), who scored the game-winning goal for Suffolk in a 6-5 overtime win over Nassau in last month's Rising Senior game at the Long Island Showcase, verballed to Marist.
Quinn Mendelson, a rising senior defenseman from Staples High School (Conn.), decided to join the brand-new Division I program at Boston University.
Cortland Heneveld of East Hampton (N.Y.) will be following the footsteps of his brother Austin by verbally committing to Navy.

The Canisius College softball team dropped a pair of contests to the Ohio Bobcats at the Ohio Softball Field on Saturday afternoon. The Golden Griffins fell to the host Bobcats, 4-0, in the opening contest before falling short in a late rally in game two, 7-6. The Griffs slide to 11-8 with the Bobcats improving to 15-10 on the season.
Trailing by the score of 7-1 heading into the top of the sixth in game two, the Griffs tallied four runs with two outs to cut into the Bobcats' lead. Freshman Bethany Demarco started the Griffs' offensive attack with a two-run shot over the left-field wall. With runners in scoring position, sophomore Michelle Delprince found a gap in center field on a base-clearing two-RBI double to move the Griffs within a pair of runs, 7-5.
Facing a pair of outs to open the top of the seventh, junior Valorie Nappo buried the ball deep into right field to advance to second on the throw, which allowed sophomore Marissa Miller to score. The Griffs' hope of a comeback ended with a ground out to short, allowing the Bobcats to hold on for a 7-6 victory.
Junior Jen Consaul stymied the Bobcats' offense in the final 1.2 innings, allowing no hits and striking out one batter in relief work. Sophomore Corrine Schaus picked up the loss in 4.1 innings.
In game two, Miller went 1-for-1 with a pair of runs scored. Freshmen Tori Nappo (2-for-4 and RBI) and Alexis Roman (2-for-3 and run scored) added to the Griffs' offense.
In the opening contest of the doubleheader, the Bobcats held the Griffs scoreless on six hits. The Bobcats took an early two-run lead in the opening frame on an RBI-double followed by an RBI-single.
The Bobcats added single runs in the bottom of the fourth and fifth innings. In the fourth, the Bobcats increased their lead to 3-0 on a force out at second with a runner at third following a successful bunt.
The Bobcats' relied on a leadoff home run in the bottom of the fifth by Lauren Gellerman to secure a 4-0 lead over the Griffs. Gellerman finished the day hitting 4-for-5 with a pair of home runs.
Consaul recorded the loss in 6.0 innings, compiling five strikeouts in game one. The senior finished the day with six strikeouts in 7.2 innings of action.
Demarco went 2-for-3 to lead the Griffs in the opening contest. The freshman went a combined 3-for-6 on the day with a run scored and an RBI.
The Blue and Gold will return Western New York for a meeting with Buffalo on Wednesday, March 24, at 4 p.m.

Willard LeRoy Metcalf
The White Veil
Willard LeRoy Metcalf
American, 1858-1925
The White Veil, 1909
Oil on canvas
61 x 61 cm (24 x 24 inches)
Gift of Mrs. Gustav Radeke 20.293
Trained at the Boston Museum School and then in Paris, Metcalf exhibited with the Ten, an association of American painters who embraced French Impressionist techniques. In The White Veil, he employed small, broken brushstrokes and a limited tonal range to evoke a winter view near his studio at Cornish, New Hampshire. A contemporary critic remarked that "the colors of the world beyond show through the veil." The composition's zig-zag structure, a convention for moving the eye through space, is contained by a square format and flattened by a scrim of falling snow, an effect that also mutes the palette of the landscape.

Hi to everyone!
I'm an esl teacher for primary kids in Cyprus. We as the English department have an English day every year where each class acts out a script as in drama. Now I want to add further activities for the kids to be able to contribute that is based on the English language. Have you any ideas that could help me out so that the kids will use their target language and have fun at the same time. My age range is 9-11 and their mother tongue is Turkish.
Thanks in advance.

If your running fakeauth with your mac and its successful then theres no mac filtering on.
sometimes it takes awhile for the replay attack to start. i'v waited up to an hour once just to get that first arp.
Why dont you check the router configure page and see if theres filtering on. if there is then turn it off for now..

It's about time to gush a bit!!!!
Been working with my two rescue GSD's and finally got the bigger girl graduated from Service dog training and doing her job reliably for me. Her sister had a more serious issue with transitioning and we were pretty sure she was goint to take at least 2 years to get calmed down and into being a good house pet too. Well we have been handsomely rewarded by little miss Indi lately. She has begun to seek contact with her two humans and comes inside voluntarily to seek affection and attention. She has also started to accept treats from us and begun to eat from a bowl placed on the floor. It took 7 months to the day to get her to eat from a stainless dog bowl on the floor and in the house. Prior to that she would only eat from a pail that we had to hang on the fence 50 or so yards from the house. If you were outside she would not eat and waited till you went into the hose to even approach her pail. So with the extreme cold the last few weeks she has come into the house voluntarily and slept inside all night long on the dog bed next to my wife's bed in our bedroom. Her normal routine is to come in, lick her mommies face, turn around and lay down with her back against the outside wall and go to sleep. During the night she will sprawl out and get all stretched out almost the entire length of the bed. When we got those two they came from a training facility that trains dogs to assist our injured and brain damaged veterans and both had been removed from training due to being unreliable. Indi has issues with smooth transitions and Dixie had issues with thunder and lightning. Both of those issues made them too unreliable to be given to one of our veterans but they could become ultra great pets and house mates if given the chance. The alternative was that they would have to be destroyed if I had not come along and accepted them and took them into my home with my 15 year old Golden retriever rescue. We are absolutely thrilled that Dixie has overcome her issue with thunder and has gone on to graduate from training, and was named the Service dog of the year when she alerted and helped me survive an attack, and has now been assigned to me as a permanent service dog. And Indi making all of her little steps and becoming more social and doing the things I described is truly a minor miracle for her too. It speaks volumes to the fact that even if a dog has issues they can be salvaged and helped to overcome their defects in character and go on to become great dogs in their own right. A little extra love, a lot of patience and reassurance along with consistency and a gentle approach has worked wonders yet again and in a time frame that was much faster than anticipated. We had originally allotted at least two years before we were looking for any concrete changes in either of the girls behavior and to get it in 7 months for Indi and 4 months for Dixie is a gift from heaven. As soon as I figger out how to do it on an Ipad I will post pics of Frick and Frack hanging out in the house with dad and mom in the evenings before bed time. They each have a particular spot on their own private couch next to their chosen people so there is never any conflict about who is where and no crowding to see who gets attention and affection either... So this year has started off with a hugely positive bang for the entire family and our little pack too.

That's really amazing! Great job Dixie, Indi and Bob! You should all be very proud of your hard work and dedication.
David Winners
That is awesome!!!!! Rehabbing dogs (or any animal for that matter) can be so rewarding. :)

Great job, Bob! That's a lot to gush about for sure!!
A fantastic story for sure.....thanks for sharing as it is very up-lifting.
Bob - thanks for sharing your heart warming story. I have a rescued WGSD who was intensely skiddish when I adopted her. She was feral and afraid of every noise inside and out. She never stopped shaking at the beginning and continued to be skinny because of her flight disposition. I can really appreciate your experience because of my own and am so convicted about saving the rescues. My girl, Jiah, still has a few things to overcome but compared to where she was when I got her, she's come so far.
I'm so happy for you Bob and your dogs!

Yours is a beautiful and encouraging success story, Bob. Thank you for sharing!

Fuel air adjustment
I resently put a crossram on my T-Bucket and am not sure how to set both carbs correctly, any ideas???
No one has responded, so let me see if I can help you.
By cross-ram, I am assuming the carbs are positioned outwards over the rocker covers, so both carbs idle circuits must be utilized unlike an inline installation whereby the idle circuit of the primary carb is most important.
Once you have established a somewhat stable idle after firing, attach a vacuum gauge to a manifold vacuum source. Enrichen the idle mixture on either carb by screwing out the idle mixture srews until the highest manifold vacuum reading is obtained. Then go to the second carb and repeat. Then slightly turn screws in until the gauge just starts to move. Then you will try to synchronize idle speed on both carbs (if you don't have progressive linkage) and then set up the actuating linkage to have them both synchronized together for proper operation.
You can use progressive throttle actuating linkage on an inline installation, but the system you have chosen requires both carbs to be synchronized for proper response.
Hope this helps and doesn't confuse...

Well Bella turned 2 in May and I haven't had her out swimming since the season ended. So I thought it would be good to get her out and get some 'work' in!
Here's a couple shots of her doing her thing!

Ok everyone, I have been asked numerous times if I can provide a tutorial on how to make boxes for a functional ammo belt. I made my ammo belt boxes from aluminum sheet metal. I just simply folded a flat pattern into a box with my bare hands and simple tools. Let me remind everyone that these functional ammo boxes were made using the same patterns from another Board members free ammo belt patterns ''not mines''. This is simply a quick tutorial I put together for everyone to see and have an idea of how I made mines. The rest is up to whom ever wants to make their own.
Note: I used a colored sheet metal to avoid flash for the pics. The aluminum sheet metal can be found at almost any Hardware store.

Hey Guys,
I'm putting the finishing touches on my SE Fett and decided to finally scratchbuild the knees with WOF's templates. I was going to use a 3" pvc pipe to cut and heat, but that idea fell through so I used an old bucket! I heated them with a heat gun for molding and made the blocks out of wood. They're not done yet, but the major construction steps are completed. Thanks WOF! I've used your templates A BILLION TIMES! I really don't know how my Fett would have turned out without those templates or this forum! It would probably would've been....terrible!

Pitcher Jon Fitzsimmons has signed a free-agent contract with the Kansas City Royals. Fitzsimmons is the second Canisius junior pitcher to sign with a Major League Baseball franchise after Garrett Cortright signed with the Baltimore Orioles after being selected in the 40th round of the 2013 MLB Draft.
Fitzsimmons becomes the 10th Golden Griffin (seven draft selections and three minor-league contracts) to sign with a Major League franchise since 2006.
Fitzsimmons, a two-time MAAC Relief Pitcher of the Year, was 4-0 with 10 saves and a 1.16 ERA in 21 appearances during the 2013 season. Fitzsimmons also had 38 strikeouts in 31 innings pitched and allowed opponents to post a .154 batting average. The 6-foot-2 right-hander recorded two outs – both strikeouts – of No. 1 seed North Carolina in the NCAA Tournament. He also pitched the ninth inning in the combined no-hitter of Iona College on March 29, the first nine-inning no-hitter in program history.
In his three-year career with the Golden Griffins, Fitzsimmons made 56 appearances and posted 22 saves with a 7-3 record and 1.88 earned run average. In 67 innings, Fitzsimmons recorded 85 strikeouts and allowed the opposition to hit .185.
In eight appearances with the Wilson Tobs of the Coastal Plain League this summer, Fitzsimmons posted six saves and allowed one run while striking out 12 batters. Fitzsimmons also struck out the side in his one inning of work in the Coastal Plain League All-Star Game on Monday night, earning Defensive Player of the Game honors.
Canisius won a conference-record 42 games during the 2013 season and won the MAAC Championship for the first time in program history. The Golden Griffins return 12 players who started 23 or more games and eight pitchers who made 10 or more appearances, including three pitchers with 10 or more starts.

Daily driver, stop and go, gowith the auto. Weekend warrior, stick
At risk of being called a Luddite with my cars by my friends again, if you are interested in a manual transmission, get it. So few worthwhile cars have them. And the one on the V is pretty good to boot.
The V is very easy to drive in traffic.

Re: Auto or manual which one you have
The wagon in stickshift is as fast if not faster than an auto. Reason being is the extra 150+lbs sitting on the rear wheels the wagon has. The reason why the stick is slower because its alot harder to launch it.

I have an automatic (sedan). Bought paddle shifters as well. Love the car.
All that said, if I were to do it again, I would have gone w a manual. My last car was a manual, and I miss the feel.

By Josh James
Three former Gunners could be in action for Manchester City this Sunday, and Robin van Persie is keen to welcome back one of them in particular.
Gael Clichy, Samir Nasri and Kolo Toure have all regularly featured for City lately - having previously racked up 614 appearances between them in Arsenal's colours.
Toure himself played 226 times for the Gunners, between 2002 and 2009, and Van Persie remains grateful for the support the Ivorian offered him when he joined the Club in 2004.
"I'll always remember what he did for me when I first arrived at Arsenal," said the Arsenal captain.
"On my first day here, he said to me 'Robin, you can see me as your older brother. If you have anything you want to ask, or if anything is wrong, come to me. I know how you feel, I was new too, so come to me.'
"It's things like that you never forget. So I rate him as a great player, but behind that there is a great person too."

Submit a photograph that reflects an experience during education abroad that has influenced how you view the world. A photo jury will select 20 photographs to be displayed in the Belk Library Atrium between Nov. 13-Nov. 19. All members of the campus community may vote for their top choice. The winner will be announced at the closing ceremony for the Appalachian Global Symposium on Nov. 20. For more details about the contest and to submit your photo go to: http://international.appstate.edu/outreach/iew/photo-contest.
Hi Lisa, I am not sure, but I don't think so- we have not heard anything this year from the office of International Education who we collaborated with last year on that project. But if we DO have another contest, we'll publicize it as widely as possible.
FYI, Outdoor programs usually as a photo contest- http://op.appstate.edu/pagesmith/17
Good luck!

What kind of price on these?
We bough an assortment of optics and lasers fron a company in China we met at the shot show last month. we were impressed with the quality of thier products and also the pricing. we got our order in and I decided to take home a 100mw green laser to test out.
I finally got a chance to test out the 100 mw green laser today. While I have some optics I usually use iron sights as I like to plink, not target shoot. this is my first experience with a laser sighting device. Now I am pretty much old school when it comes to guns, the only things I consider necessary are a sling, bipod and possibly a bayonet, (only because there is an attachment point for it) and stuff that needs batteries is just a pita.
Now we fooled around with these at the shop and could see the spot out to well over 100 yards in bright day light, but I was just not convinced it would really work on a gun. indoors you can light up a room with it, it is definatly not a toy. last week I got a carry handle mount for my AR15, with 16" barrel, mounted the laser on it and sighted it in with a laser bore sighter, I put the dot just above the front sight post.
At the range I was usnig 50 foot pistol targets at 50 yards with 62 grain bulleted brown bear ammo, and was shooting off a less than rigid table. I was there from 11 am to 1 pm and it was a bright sunny day. The laser spot was clearly visable at 50 yards, and covered the 3" black spot on the target.
I fired off about 40 rounds and was pretty impressed. I then took off the scope and shot a 5 round group with iron sights on the bottom of the target. Then I mounted a 4x colt style knock off scope and shot the 10 round group in the bulls eye. then I put the laser back and shot the lower 10 round group and then the upper 16 round group.
I am pretty impressed with this thing and can't wait to take it out plinking.
What kind of price on these?
SOON-We already lost the war. You are the resistance.
Does it light cigarettes at 50 yards?

On record-breaking events
NASA's Earth Observatory reports that there was a record low Arctic sea ice concentration in June 2005. There was a record-number of typhoons over Japan in 2004. In June, there were reports of a number of record-breaking events in the US. And on July 28, the British News paper The Independent reported on record-breaking rainfall (~1 m) in India, claiming hundreds of lives. These are just a few examples of recent observations. So, what is happening?
Whenever there is a new record-breaking weather event, such as record-high temperatures, it is natural to ask whether the occurrence of such an event is due to a climate change. Before we proceed, it may be useful to define the term 'statistically stationary', the meaning here being that statistical aspects of the weather (means, standard deviation etc.) aren't changing. In statistics, there is a large volume of literature on record-breaking behaviour, and statistically stationary systems will produce new record-breaking events from time to time. On the other hand, one would expect to see more new record-breaking events in a changing climate: when the mean temperature level rises new temperatures will surpass past record-highs. This is illustrated in Fig. 1.
some reports on trends of more extreme precipitation, although The International Ad Hoc Detection and Attribution Group (IDAG, 2005) did not manage to attribute trends in precipitation to anthropogenic greenhouse gases (G) – a quote from their review article is: "For diurnal temperature range (DTR) and precipitation, detection is not achieved", here 'detection' implying the signal of G. A high occurrence of new record-events is an indication of a change in the 'tails' of the frequency distribution and thus that values that in the past were considered extreme are becoming more common.
But how does one distinguish between the behaviour of a stable system to one that is undergoing a change in terms of record-events? This kind of question has traditionally not been discussed much in the climate research literature (e.g. record-events are not discussed in DIAG, 2005 or the IPCC TAR), perhaps because it has been perceived that analysis on record-breaking events is difficult if not impossible. There are many different types of record-events related to climatic and weather phenomena. One hurdle is that the number of record-/extreme-events is very low and there is not enough data for the analysis. Another problem is the data quality: does the sensor give a good reading near the ranges of their calibrated scales?

Former assistant coach Sommer May was named the fifth head coach in the program's 38-year history on Oct. 28, 2013. She began her time with the Phoenix as an assistant for the program in September 2013, and provided valuable leadership and experience for a Phoenix roster comprised entirely of underclassmen.
A 2004 graduate of Minnesota, May played Division I tennis her freshman and sophomore year of college at Marquette. She was also a two-time state champion in high school while starring at Green Bay Notre Dame.
May still enjoys a successful competitive career, having held the No. 1 ranking in both 2010 and 2011 in the USTA Wisconsin Women's Open division. Competing in level 4.5 matches, she posted an impressive 7-1 record during the summer of 2013 while ranked as the No. 3 player in the state. Also on her USTA resume are championship titles at the Greater Milwaukee Open, the Midwest Indoor Championship and the Wisconsin Adult Open.
When she's not on the court, May is a proud wife and mother of two, as well as an active volunteer with various organizations in the Green Bay Area.

About 30 years ago when I was living at home my father lost his job and so I purchased their small terraced house from them. I think I paid about £20k for it. They paid their mortgage off, which was, I think about £5k and spent or kept the rest. I paid all of the bills but I did not pay for my keep. (board)I took a mortgage out to buy it from them but this was paid off by the time I moved out. I regarded paying the mortgage and bills as my board, so always regarded the house as their house, and not mine.
My job involved quite alot of travelling so I lived at home until I was 28, by which time the mortgage was paid off. The house was worth about £60k at that time. They continued to pay the bills when I moved out.
My father died about 8 years ago and my mother lives there alone now.
I live too far away from her to visit daily so she may have to go into a home soon and she will not move in with me.
Two questions really.
1. Will I have to pay capital gains tax if I sell it.
2. If she needs means tested care, will the house be part of her estate? (not really a tax question I know)


text: Rosalynn Sumners or Debi Thomas? Each lady was primarily #1 nationally in her quadrennial. But, there are differences - National Championships - Roz 3 vs. Debi 2 World Championships - tied at 1 each Olympics - each a medalist; but Roz silver and Debi bronze. Debi was figured to battle for gold while Roz was probably a fave. no. of World medals - Debi 3 vs. Roz 1 (only) no. of Worlds appearance - Debi 4 (each year 1985 - 88) vs. Roz 2 (1982 - 83) It kind of evens out, but do you have a choice? I would say Debi based on longevity while still grabbing a world championship (like Roz)

The Indiana State Data Center maintains a collection of all of the statistical data from the Decennial Censuses of Population and Housing from 1790 - 2000. The Census Bureau has also released many other publications over the last 200 years. There are economic data about manufacturing, retail trade, wholesale trade, construction, etc. Agricultural data has been collected for over 150 years. The Census Bureau conducts numerous demographic and economic surveys. While the Data Center has access to the 1990 and 2000 Decennial Censuses online, by CD or DVD and in publications, statistics from previous censuses are almost exclusively in books and on microfilm or microfiche. On rare occasions the historical data can be located on the Internet.
