Wow, I am happy to find a witness!Would you be able to give your name to what you have said if it will be needed?
Well,Citizen's Advice did not reply yet but I am going to make an appointment with them personally,but DIUS Register of Education and Training Providers started an investigation against them,and they can remove them from their register if my allegations are true.They also passed my complaint to the Companies Investigation Branch at the Department for Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform for further investigation. That is one thing I could do,but this still does not give my money back,so I definitely will need a legal person's help.The guy (who is the only dodgy manager of the whole college)is called Ian Holding,as far as I remember his surname,but Ian is for sure.The reason why I dont know his surname is becuase he removed the old website and the new one has no information as such.Yes,they were still Elite College when I registered and paid the the first amount,and from September they became Access,but its the same s...,only the name and the logo changed.... I paid the second amount under Access.So I have receipts from both Elite and Access,which is again another proof.
Have you got that newspaper article?I would love to read it.Is it available on the internet or would u be able to scan it and send it to me?
I really need a genuine witness like you,would you mind contacting me by email,so I know your contact details...
As I said I will sue them but I need legal advice from Cititzen's Advice first,as police said it is a civil case.
Anyway,the guy did not call me 1 week later as he promised to 'think about it',so I made these steps and waiting for Citizen's email reply as they said they will reply in 10 days.Soon I will manage to go to their office in the morning too,to sort it out.
I am planning to call the manager again using a firm voice and asking about his decision,also threatening him.
My email is: firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks very much!

Discussion in 'March 2007' started by Dlev59, Mar 25, 2007.
I'm not a happy man.
Frustrating game. Terrible officiating, lots of ugly ball, but the Pistons went on a big run at the end and had a chance to steal it. And then Delfino commits ANOTHER bonehead foul in the dying seconds, biting on the pump fake like a total chump...game over. No excuses this time, people.
The Pistons were just smoked on the boards tonight and I don't blame Delfino for the loss. This game was lost because the Pistons didn't win the rebound game and add in the 3 techs. The Bulls were kept to a low shooting percentage but they ran wild in the paint on the offensive end with so many second chance opportunities. So give Carlos some slack, I would have liked for him to take the last shot of the game and it would have had a better chance of going in than that weak sister shot Tay threw up. The Pistons miss Rip and CWebb and still almost won this game. It's the long view people, the playoffs so don't get too hyped up about the loss. Flip is still playing Tay and Chauncey way too many minutes and I'm worried that Tay is going to get hurt from playing so fatigued.
A game that we should have been the underdog going in with 2 STARters missing. But we hung in there and almost pulled it out. Second loss this year that a Delfino foul in the last 3 seconds has resulted in a loss being decided when the opposing team hit the winning FT's. Note to Flip, have Delfino on the bench when game is tied with less than 20 seconds. Tay was the right man to take the last shot as he was the most consistent Piston tonight. We got killed in the paint by 14 and destroyed on the boards by 14. offnsive was 22-11 ouch! Ben was a monster that we could used in a Piston uniform tonight with his 19 boards. Three technical fouls that they converted to 3 pts could have made the difference in this 2 pt loss but those things happen....... Rip and Cwebbs replacements Jr and Brahma did little with 5 points between them. Max did get 3 blocks including 2 on Ben, but was rendered ineffective in the second half as was Flip jr who even let Hunter outscore him. 20 three point attempts was not needed to win this game.. Our inside was so MIA that Dice and Sheed took no FTA. Max bricked his 3. Oh well, we should be healthy next week when we get them at home and hopefully we return the favor and beat them.
Flip S. I thought he did a good job today. Flip M. Not enough in the tank. 2 out of 5 mangoes. Rasheed Wallace. Looking old, but the effort was there. Antonio McDyess. I swear he must have fooled around with a ref's wife once. Jason Maxiell. Not ready for primetime. Chauncey Billups. Forget max deal, he's no longer a second half of the season player. Tayshaun Prince. Not capable of being "the man" but slowly rounding into "a man". Carlos Delfino. You just cost yourself the opportunity to close out any meaningful games. Very few players can make that mistake 3 times in a career coming off the bench and stay in the league. Comprende? Lindsey Hunter. Exactly what you expected. Good job by the Bulls. They didn't play really well, but they scrapped out a home court win against a division rival in an ugly game. Made plays when it counted and owned the boards. Chauncey better wakeup. He's killing us with his substandard offensive play. I can't remember any meaningful defense from him, and it hurt because he should be covering Gordon, not Delfino.
Delfino was the goat at the end. Bad play, as he got caught up in the air, and fouled Hinrich taking a three pointer. But we lost this one from a bad decision by the coach. Delfino should have started this game. Our defense was a whole lot better with him in the game. Our movement on defense was a lot better with Delfino in the game. Delfino was the goat, but he also hit two shots late to get the game tied after we were down 12 with around 4 minutes to go in the game. Why did Flip Murray start over Delfino? Flip Murray, who for a long time was out of the rotation, no way leap frogs a player in the rotation, unless a coach is playing favorites. Which I hate. Anybody watch Flip Murray in this game? What does he do on offense. He tippy toes around, moving about maybe one or two feet every few seconds. No clue what to do without the ball. A starting guard in the NBA he is most certainly not. Prince had it going in this game, both inside and out. Probably should have even been more aggressive, but I won't fault him. The guards are the guys who are suppose to make the decisions about who is taking the shots. Billups had a horrid shooting night, and did not get Tay as involved as he should have. The other two guards we used for the most part, Hunter and Flip, they have no clue so are blameless in this situation. Its not their fault the coach thinks they are point guards. Jason Maxiell was not doing a very good job clearing the defensive glass, but neither were any of our bigs. No Jason Maxiell in the 4th quarter meant us getting behind in that quarter. He plays pretty darn good D when in the game. The trick Mr. Saunders, is to put him in the game. We drew several techs, and that certainly did not help in a tight game. Still we had a chance to win it at the end so maybe all that emotion helped. Another goat. Sheed got a perfect pass from Delfino and blew that layup. But Sheed scored plenty too. To those who think I am silly harping about the rookies not playing. A rookie did us in for this game. Thomas for them was pretty darn good. Not that Amir Johnson is a rookie anymore, but he might as well be. We certainly could have used this fine young player in this game, as our bigs we did play were a step slow to rebounds all game long. Dyess hit some shots in the first half, but for the game, he was no factor inside. This game saw one of the wierdest shots of all time. Ben Wallace hit the top of the backboard on a shot, and it bounced in. Did I mentioned the team could not get a defensive rebound to save their lives? We held Chicago to 4-22 shooting in the 2nd quarter, yet only walked off with a 3 point lead for the half. Still some good D by the likes of Delfino, Maxiell, Tay, etc. Webber and Rip missed the game due to the flu. Dale Davis played a minute to end the 2nd quarter despite having the flu. They mentioned Duhon had the flu for Chicago so its going around on other teams too. The five guys out there as we almost came back late were Billups, Delfino, Tay, Dyess, Sheed. Hunter managed one good play, a steal with a layup made off the steal. And nothing else. Why in the world did Flip not go to Delfino when Murray got into foul trouble in the 3rd quarter? Just flat out disrespect to Delfino. We could have started our comeback right there, the moment Flip came out of the game. Yes, Delino was the goat in the end, but the game should not have been close. Next time, Flip will do the same, play his favorites rather than his best, but hey, I will be here to point it out.
There would have been no close game for Delfino to be in at the end if he did not help lead a tremendous defensive effort in the 2nd quarter to give us a lead, not to mention he was a big part of the comeback in the last three minutes to tie it. Kudos for Flip Saunders leaving Delfino in the game. You can only learn by experience. As for JMAX, again, note, he was in there for much of that 2nd quarter. Mistakes are no reason to take a young player out. Mistakes must be made. Its part of the process of getting better.
Lee, I'm ok with Delfino making mistakes to learn. But he's made the same stupid goof twice. This isn't rocket science, it's basketball 101. 1. Never foul a jump shooter 2. Never foul a 3 point shooter in a tie game during the last possession. As I mentioned recently, he's a fraction slow challenging the shot, and doesn't really impact shooters anyway. His best defense is played by keeping his man from penetrating. I don't care that he was a goat. I do care that this is a simple mistake that will scare me anytime he is in during a late game situation. We're so close to the playoffs, and we need this guy. Focused and aware.
Delfino's reckless style of defense works well throughout the course of the game, but in crunch time, when players get more patient and deliberate, he shouldn't be out there. It's a shame he did it again, because he has actually become quite a clutch shooter. The real story of this game was Chauncey and rebounding though. Hopefully Flip S. doesn't overlook the bigger issues while pointing the finger at Delfino.
^ The rebounding was laughable, but so was last games so i doubt anything will be done about it. Chauncey; I don't know if it was KH's defense, or his injury. But he doesn't look 100%. By the time Rip comes back, Chauncey will be dead. We can't win lately (literally and figuratively)
Just hope Flip doesn't reduce Fino's minutes tomorrow night. If anything I hope he gives him a chance to finish tomorrow night too. He is getting more aggressive on offense the last few games and is starting to learn he doesn't need to force the issue. Let him run 25-30 minutes a night these last dozen games and he will be a lot more prepared for the play-off run we are about to make.
Just imagine if his teammates actually passed him the ball, or if Flip was fired and the new coach actually ran plays for Delfino. (Cause you know Saunders never will.) PS, Billups is by far the worst offender in not passing Delfino the ball when open.
LOL Ive noticed that Billups NEVER passes Delfino the ball either.. perhaps hes worried Delfino will make him look bad running the offense :P
CB was an atrocious 3-16 shooting as he forced 5 more shots than he needed to trying get Heinrich in deeper foul trouble. I wish our bigs would play like that and try to get Ben, Shaq, Zo and Yao in trouble. Those are the guys you want to get out of the game, because they are the ones that affect our inside game.
Experience is built on mistakes. The effort was there from Delfino, so I'm not going to blame him. He's not in that situation very often and was doing a pretty good job before that. Dyess was really playing hard... again. He's looking more and more dangerous every game. X-factor in the post season. Maxiell- he can really jump, but in the trenches a lot or rebounds need to be grabbed so fast that only height can get them. His style works better for offensive rebounding and not so well for holding off the Ben Wallace's of the World. Flip Murray looked a little lost after his J didn't fall. All in all, we put a good scare into Chicago on their court with only 50% of our starters (counting CB as 1/2). The positives-our defense held them to a very low shooting %.We only turned it over 12 times against a very aggressive Bulls D with bench players out there the whole game.We almost won despite a horrible shooting night from CB, no Rip, and no CWebb.Dyess continued do everything right... except get calls. cursed?And Tay looking like our best player again when playing a good team. Negatives... I won't even bother. One other comment- Tyrus Thomas has really come on as he has received more PT in the past month. He really adds something to the team and I think they would be smart to utilize that in the Playoffs.
I actually am not tearing my hair out after this loss and the Pistons really are never out of any game even being 10-12 points behind with less than 5 minutes to play. There are positives to take away from this game and in a New York minute I would let Delfino play in the last seconds of a close game win, lose or tie. He preserved a win for us this year late in a game (against Seattle) by tipping the ball away from the Seattle player on an inbounds play so he's getting battle tested. Chauncey has had his share of late game miscues but I still want the ball in his hands at the end because he is cool under fire. Something tells me that Flip Sr. won't put Carlos in the doghouse after tonight because the effort and heart was there and that's all you can ask. I wonder if Big Ben will go out with Sheed and the boys after the game and talk about old times. Tonight's game felt like a playoff game and I say bring on Da Bulls at some point in the playoffs!
My only worry is Billips. He really seems to have lost much of his game. Going back to last year's playoffs, he has not given us consistent production. He is hesitant when he shoots. Of our key guys, he is the player I worry about as the playoffs loom. We absolutely need offense from Billips. He consistently misses layups of all things. Once our best 3 point shooter, he is at about 34%. He needs to get his offense back...I can't blame injuries. His production has been suspect for awhile. It is as if his game has become too much of an assist game. And now, when he goes to the shot, it is not there and his edge is gone.
The difference in seeing the Bulls at the first match and now is telling. Come playoffs, they can be easily rattled. There is absolutely no floor leader to settle things down. Skiles had absolutely no impact (calling any type of offensive or defensive sets) on the game. Flip can and will easily out-coach him. Flip Sr. Some excellent called plays and his trap zone absolutely destroyed the Bulls rhythm. More playing time for the bench with the regular crew and you has to know it killed him to start JMax instead of Dyess. Still, things have to become known, not only for the final run, but also who is dealt out after the season. Liked his call at the end of the game: everyone thought Sheed and yet Tay definitely would be the only one who would be consistently open from that side of the court. Just didn't work out. Flip Murray: Lousy game and never got into any flow. Next to Hunter, has the quickest hands and feet on the team. I am still a fan of his. What a steal! CB: Worst game I have seen him play this year. Blown layups, and showed no leadership. I hope that injuries (like the broadcasters constantly told us) are the problem. For a contract year, he is making a S/T a distinct reality. Anyone notice how a 36 year old Hunter (not to mention overdrive Flip) showed twice the speed we have seen of CB this year? Not a good sign. Prince: Outstanding game and picked up his defense. Not a slasher, slows down ball movement and still cannot make anything happen when facing the basket. The key for him is how he starts out. I actually saw him dribble with his right hand...honest! JMax: Let us not forget, it takes these kids at least three years to perform at a pro level. He needs a lot of off season work, but he can jump and his gravy train is around the basket. If Ben can get 60 million in his thirties, then JMax has a chance to be a productive player. The final results don't show up at times, but the Bulls knew that couldn't dunk (or move confidently at the rim) with him in the game. Each time he gets on the court, he learns a little-bit more. I still like him. Delfino: Up and down, up and down. Loves to run around. Blows layups and then hits pressure 3 points and has no fear of taking them. I just don't think he will ever be a consistent player…good or bad. He is excellent at fronting and keeps up with his man as long as he doesn't have to go lateral, but loses concentration in any type of busy switches. Some people might call this a type of low basketball IQ. Sheed: Surprisingly under control for such an emotional game. Damn, that guy can clean up around the basket when he has a mind to go after it. Looks pretty shooting thirty footers than most guys do making layups. He is a 200,000 mile BMW and at 12 million, continues to have enough talent who can still get you to work on time. I now have come to an understanding with myself that I will always have a love-hate relationship toward this guy. Dyess: Sweet turn-around and a deadly 12 foot shot when facing the basket. If I was an opposing coach, this is the guy I would concentrate on in order to beat the pistons over a seven game series. At 6-10 and with Sheed hanging around the perimeter, this guy can get you 15-20 in a 25 minute game. Of all the Pistons, this guy plays solid and well within himself. He will never hurt you. Wish he was 25.
I only have a problem with Chauncey. He needs to start making some shots again. Yesterday was not the only bad game. There was nothing else that was really bad, I was expecting a loss because this game was more important to the Bulls and 2 of our best players were out.
"Ben Wallace also made the shot of the game. He threw up a wild shot early in the fourth that bounced high off the rim, hit off the top of the backboard and fell through".Chris McCosky As I recall, the ball didn't bounce off the rim first. The shot went up above the backboard , came down and bounced off the top of the backboard and then into the basket.

Notable Oregonians: Luther Cressman - Anthropologist
Luther Sheeleigh Cressman was born near Pottstown, Pennsylvania on October 24, 1897, one of six sons of a country doctor and his musician/educator wife. He graduated from Pennsylvania State University in 1918 after majoring in the Classics. Profoundly affected by the carnage of World War I, Cressman decided to be an Episcopalian priest and was ordained in 1923. He continued his studies and in 1925 earned a Masters Degree and Ph.D. at Columbia University in Sociology with a minor in Anthropology. In 1923, Cressman married fellow student Margaret Mead, who would go on to become one of the most famous anthropologists in American history. Their marriage ended in divorce in 1927. The next year he married Dorothy Loch who would be his wife until her death in 1977.
In 1927, Cressman renounced the ministry and in 1929 he accepted a position as sociology professor at the University of Oregon. By 1935 his anthropology research helped him justify the creation of the Department of Anthropology at the university. He served as chair of the department from its founding until his retirement in 1963.
Cressman became known as the father of Oregon anthropology by challenging many aspects of existing theories about prehistory in the Northwest. For example, he argued that early man moved from south to north along the western side of North America, contrary to traditional theories. He is most known for his 1938 discovery of well-preserved sagebrush bark sandals at Fort Rock in remote northern Lake County. Radiocarbon dating placed the age of the sandals at over 9,000 years. This shattered the belief that human occupation of the Far West went back no further than 4,000 years. Three decades later, Cressman again raised questions about the earliest date of human occupation when he found ashes from a fire in the Fort Rock Basin suggesting that humans moved from Alaska to the Americas at least 30,000 years ago.
Cressman organized the University of Oregon's Museum of Natural History and was a founding director of the Oregon State Museum of Anthropology. While he was mostly known for his pioneering work in the Great Basin of Oregon, he also actively researched Oregon coastal archaeological throughout the 1950s. Under his direction, the Oregon Coast Prehistory Program began a survey of coastal sites in 1951 and carried out several excavations during the rest of the decade.
Cressman continued to be an active researcher and writer during his long retirement until his death in 1994. He was named a Distinguished Alumnus at Penn State University. The University of Oregon bestowed its prestigious Charles E. Johnson Memorial Award for exceptional service to the university in 1988. Other honors awarded to Cressman included the Guggenheim Fellowship and the John Alsop King Fellowship.

They are required to put expiration dates on bottles of water. Water doesn't expire. As for meds and drugs they will lose potency over time, but will still work. I wouldn't worry about it.
Does "expired" test prop still work as well as "non" expired test prop?
My doc put me on test prop. I went to day to the compound pharmacy to fill my script. The pharmacist told me that "by law" she has to tell me that the product will expire in 3 days. I asked her if it really does expire in 3 days or she is just supposed to tell me that. I couldn't pick up too well on what she was trying to tell me. All she kept saying was..."it's the same product you used to get and its made the same way".
They are required to put expiration dates on bottles of water. Water doesn't expire. As for meds and drugs they will lose potency over time, but will still work. I wouldn't worry about it.
10ml of test prop only lasts for a week or less. Don't sweat it.
Warriorblaze owns a licensed waste disposal company, he is discrete and has helped me dispose many expired vials.
I can easily dispose of it for ya brother
Ok....soooo...what does my question mean?
That expired test is still good? That the test prop I'm about to get from the compound pharmacy really DOES expire 3 days after it has been created?
Human Grade stuff available at pharmacy will typically have a shelf life of 3-5 years. The truth to be told its still good years out of date. I would't hesitate using human grade stuff even if it was 2 years out of date, provided that it has been stored correctly.
To answer your question if it's been stored in a dark cool area you should be good to go.
I've used gear that was over 10 years out of date. It was sealed prior to me using it.
If it had been unsealed and the stoppers poked for 10 years I would not have used it.
You'll be fine using your Prop.
Gear stocks like ammo man!
I wouldent worry for 1-2yrs after exp on that.

Astoria, Queens
The New York Connecting Railroad, now joined with Amtrak traffic from Penn Station, makes gradual ascent through Astoria to the Hell Gate bridge over the East River. This elevation, along with potential congestion issues and a line design that was never intended to have intermediate station stops adds some significant challenges to the design for a Circumferential Line.
Many of the NYCRR bridges in Astoria are concrete arches and many of those arches seem to be in pretty bad shape. Reconstruction of some of the arches could conceivably be integrated seamlessly with addition of stations around them.
Astoria Boulevard / Steinway Street Station
The NYCRR line crosses I-278, Astoria Boulevard, and Steinway Street on a very imposing truss viaduct. This is also an approximate midway point on the line between Roosevelt Avenue and the BMT Ditmars Boulevard station, which might make it a good spot for a Circumferential Line station - perhaps over the irregular lot between Astoria Boulevard and Steinway Street, north of I-278.
Painless Steel Tattoos - Tattoos are forever, life is not, get one now before you rot
The concrete arch over 38th Street seems to be falling apart and is being held together with rails and tension rods. The repairs seem to have been there for awhile as there are limestone stalactites hanging from the metalwork. Terrifying.
The 37th Street Bridge is in a little better shape.
The truss structure needed to carry the rail line over the intersection of 23rd Avenue and 35th Street must contain a tremendous amount of steel. You would think they would have just condemned a building or two and routed traffic through a simpler arch.
Ditmars Boulevard Station
The BMT Astoria Line terminates underneath an NYCCRR arch bridge over 31st Street. This would be a likely spot for a transfer point between the Circumferential Line and the BMT Astoria. If there's space on the deck for platforms, escalators and elevators would either have to descend inside the masonry or, more likely, along the outside of the arch.

Supporting dozens of clients is easy, supporting hundreds or thousands, not so much. The difference between good enough wireless and great wireless is defined by- unhappy visitors, frustrated exhibitors, lost ability to monetize services and maybe the worst - dissatisfaction of services broadcasted through social media. In other words: because convention centers are such visible venues, running a basic (non-optimized) Wi-Fi network is bad for business.
This webinar will identify the components and give you actionable steps that will enable your wireless network to operate more predictably and reliably under heavy load and maintain QoS.

Understanding what happens to a soybean root hair system infected by symbiotic, nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria, Bradyrhizobium japonicum, could go a long way toward using this symbiosis to redesign plants and improve crop yields, benefitting both food and biofuel production. Because of their extensive genomes, it is especially difficult to use conventional proteomic technologies to get meaningful information from plants. With the availability of a complete soybean genome, soybean root hairs represent an excellent model for the study of single-cell systems biology. Legume root hairs primarily are involved in water and nutrient uptake from the soil but also are the dominant infection site of symbiotic rhizobia. This infected area forms a novel organ—the nodule—where bacteria fix nitrogen for the host, acting as built-in fertilizer. At EMSL, scientists, as part of an onging collaboration with the Stacey Laboratory, employed the ultra-sensitive liquid chromatography-Fourier transform mass spectroscopy platform to characterize the soybean root hair proteome and determine root hair cellular signaling cascade responses to rhizobial colonization and infection.

Former Mexico President Vicente Fox's historic visit to the University of St. Thomas on Nov. 23 set the stage to establish a partnership between UST's Center for International Studies Social Entrepreneurship Program and Fox's El Centro Fox.
This partnership recognizes the importance of improving the welfare of the populations of Mexico and Latin America, and will expand both organizations' efforts to implement poverty alleviation through microfinance and other measures.
While at UST, Fox also gave a public lecture on "Poverty Alleviation Through International Collaboration." View a 10-minute excerpt of Fox's lecture or the complete lecture video.
The Social Entrepreneurship Program, formerly known as the MicroCredit Program, is housed within the Center for International Studies and encompasses microcredit lending and social learning initiatives. The program is dedicated to assisting entrepreneurs who live below the poverty threshold, and provides a unique opportunity to affect meaningful improvement in the lives of the world's poor through active management of microcredit funds and social development programs.
Since leaving office in 2006, Vicente Fox has been involved in public speaking and in the development of Centro Fox, a center for advancement and studies focused on leadership, democracy, and poverty alleviation.
During the visit, Fox met with Center for International Studies Director Dr. Hans Stockton and Dr. Rogelio Garcia Contreras, Social Entrepreneurship Program faculty advisor. Fox and UST President Dr. Robert Ivany signed an agreement that outlines the collaboration between Centro Fox and the Social Entrepreneurship Program over the next two years. They aim to establish:
· A study abroad program with credit-generating courses for UST students through classes on development, micro finance, economics or any other topic related to poverty alleviation or politics of development. The program would take place in San Cristobal, Guanajuato, Mexico, at the facilities of the Fox Center;
· A revolving fund for the implementation of a microfinance pilot program at a small community in Guanajuato;
· A think tank or network of experts, institutions and universities in the fields of microfinance, development and social entrepreneurship, designating Centro Fox as the network hub.
· An annual forum, a conference or lecture series on social entrepreneurship, microfinance, poverty eradication policies or related topics;
· Coordinating service learning opportunities: Matching UST faculty and students' know how, research, interest and volunteer work with the specific needs of Centro Fox or any other organization related with Centro Fox;
· Summer Certificate Programs at UST for high school or college students from around the world interested on learning about micro credit, poverty alleviation policies, social entrepreneurship.

text: I was just talking with my wife about that yesterday. Honey bees are all over our blueberries but it seems they get nectar from holes cut into the sides of the flowers. I don't remember if it's carpenter bees or some others that cut the holes. Have never seen the same on Lonicera japonica or L. mackii. Maybe the flowers are tougher or taste really bad so whoever cuts open the sides of the blueberries doesn't go for honeysuckle.

Are You the ONE?
It feels like only yesterday that the fall term had just started and leaves were just changing colors from green, to orange, to yellow and brown. As a new college student, I remember my nervous shaking body and sweaty palms as I was thrust into a new environment with no comfort zone to fall back on. Today, I don't ever want to leave my dorm!
The spring semester has once again crept up on us, and in no time, summer will be here soon. Most of us don't even think about planning in advance for the summer. And why should we? Summer is supposed to be filled with lazy days sleeping in, eating enough watermelon and ice cream to send our bodies into sugar shock, and just hanging out by the poolside. And for the workaholics, there is always time to take on a part-time job or an internship.
Well how would you like to turn your summer of 2012 into something extraordinary and life changing? How does a once-in-lifetime trip to Africa sound? It may sound like a false lead, but fear not, this could ACTUALLY be your reality this summer!
Chegg and ONE have launched a national search for 8 college students to go to Africa to raise awareness of extreme poverty, disease and education. Even though most of are aware of the many parts of Africa in poverty, it is only the tip of the surface and we can always learn more. Did you know only 6% of students in sub-Saharan Africa enroll in higher education? And that there has been a plateau of enrollment since 1999? That's over a decade ago!
If this adventure seems more interesting than a boring office internship at a company where the boss doesn't even know your name, you're right — it is! How do you apply? Visit chegg.com/cheggforgood and submit an essay of 500 words or less by February 10. But don't relax just yet! Semifinalists will also submit their videos to be voted on by the public on Facebook.
Do you STILL need more convincing? Check out this campaign video by the Social network cutie Jesse Eisenberg here. I promise you your summer will be one for the books and triumph over your friends' boring summer stories.
Will you apply for this amazing experience? What other alternative-break programs have you participated in? Leave a comment below!

Here I can only get Oxalic acid in solid powder form, so how can I use it to kill mite? Understand from a chemist that this acid does not vapor right?
Robo.. doing a Google search on "Heating Oxalic acid".. you'll come across that the rapid heating of Oxalic acid produces Formic Acid. Finman has stated this also. But.. I also found.."A good yield of formic acid cannot be obtained by merely heating oxalic acid, as a certain portion of the oxalic acid sublimes unchanged. The oxalic acid is therefore heated with glycerol when carbon dioxide and glyceryl monoformate are obtained, and the latter when boiled with water yields formic acid and glycerol"
Look up formic acid on the internet, particularly a site "Mite-Gone". This is an amazing product that is naturally found in nature, as is oxalic acid. With formic acid (if done correctly) has no ill effects on bees. It is probably one of the best ways to combat some bee problems. You will see that it combats Varroa mites, tracheal mites, chalkbrood, wax moth problems and so on.

Merimbula History Part 5 - Molly Schaffer
09/11/2012 , 9:20 AM by Ian Campbell
Each day this week over breakfast we've been serving up a slice of Merimbula's history, coinciding with the recent launch of a book showcasing the towns 100 years.
Local author Helen Swinbourne has put together "People of the Lake with the Merimbula Historical Society.
This week we've been hearing snippets from Helen's research and learn of the people, places and events that have shapped the Merimbula of now.
In part 1we looked at a local landmark, Twyford Hall in the heart of Merimbula. The hall was built by locals in 1931 in the heat of the depression.
In part 2we explored Merimbula's link to World War 2, through the sinking of the William Dawes.
Part 3 looked at the old bacon factory, that once stood on the current site of McDonalds.
In part 4 Helen and I talk about the jetty in front of the pub.
Below in part 5 we hear of Molly Schaffer...

Got a big black and orange envelope in the mail today from NRA-ILA.
Found a poll inside with some good questions to respond to and a copy will go to my two senators (Al Franken and Amy Klobuchar, antigunners) and my representative ( Michelle Bachmann, one of ours).
Of course the NRA would like a contribution, which I was going to send them more money anyway. I'm "investing" in more gun rights groups lately and I feel it is the right time to do it.
Recently joined GOCRA in Mn and sent them money, too. Now I see the Mn anti gun bills may be taken off the table this Thursday and Friday.
So many gun rights people flooded the capitol that it actually changed the tide on some seriously f**ked up bills. This couldnt have happened without some people organizing and coordinating some rallys and making sure we showed up in strength. They all need our money to keep running and protecting our rights.
I'm amazed this worked so well so far in Mn no less...and I'm proud to help finance these groups.
Get out and do your part!!!!!

Guys - posted this in the boats forum, but thought I may get better feedback here.
I picked up an old sunfish sailboat for $5 on craigslist and am working on turning it into a layout boat. Cut a bigger hole in the top, removed the dagger board port, and am re-glassing some dinged up areas. Getting close to putting a coat of paint on it. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions on type and application? Planning on going with a battleship gray color and painting some wave camo (similar to the Bonneville boats) Thoughts on paint?
Also, if anyone has any experience with a conversion, let me know the do's and don'ts. I'm not far enough along where I couldn't change course.

Guest Post By Anne Chertoff
Of the thousands of new designs showcased at the National Stationery Show the number one trend was color. Remember Vera Wang's all-red runway show at the most recent New York Bridal Market? And the bright blue details on Oscar de la Renta's Spring 2013 gowns? Stationery designers have taken the hint that weddings don't have to be all white and created collections in a rainbow of colors from bright and bold to metallic and even neon hues. Here's a look at the colorful collections you'll soon be seeing in stationery stores:
Dauphine Press launched a number of new suites for their Custom Wedding Portfolio II book. The new looks include foils (both silver and gold options) and edging colors. The sherbert (mint and pale orange) palette of the Hamilton and Calistoga suites shown here is a fresh color combination.

Bright neon hues were popular in the ready-to-wear collections featured at the Spring 2012 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, and since then the 1980's color palette has been everywhere — clothes, shoes, bags and even manicures! Fig. 2 Design Studio has created two invites with neon accents using coral/orange and pink. The Just My Type suite mixes neon coral and navy as well as bold and cursive fonts. And the White Wonder suite adds an element of texture to a white card with hot pink ink. The envelope liner adds a pop of sunshine yellow.

Haute Papier's new Luxe collection features wedding invitation suites in a range of colors from bold brights to pretty pastels. The red and turquoise in The Charlie design really pop right off the page and add an element of fun to a your wedding, while the coral and soft sky blue in The Jack suite perfectly complements a destination wedding on the beach.

|The Humane society forced me to spay my female puppy at 2 months old. I have heard a lot of people say that it was to young but I am not sure of what will go wrong because of it. I wish they didn't make me do it but they wouldn't let us have her without it being done. She has healed nicely so will she be ok?
|I used to be completely anti-spay/neuter. Not so much now. It really is a personal choice. I have an intact male and an intact female. Heats are messy and he gets annoying while she is in heat.
|The Stig
Originally Posted by Anubis_Star View Post

I did not spay my female till she was 4 y/o. She was never bred, and has always been physically and mentally sound. For my next dog - regardless of gender - if I decide to fix it, I will again wait several years. Just my personal choice, based on the information made available to me.
If one decides to fix a healthy, intact dog, I would not recommend early spay/neuter. 18 - 24 months, would be my suggestion.
However, if the owner is unable to follow through with the responsibility that comes with owning an intact dog, then that is a much wiser option than risking an 'Oops' litter. Ultimately, it is up to the owner on what she is comfortable with because - as Anubis_Star wrote - it is a heavy responsibility caring for an intact dog and certainly not for everyone.
I also really like & appreciate Selzer's thoughts on wandering dogs.
I neutered my GSD at 18 mths. I think that was a pretty good age. He definitely looks male, although he has this funny girly prance he does which has nothing to do with neutering since it went on long before he was neutered.
Edit - my dog also had a retained testicle.
I neutered my GSD at 15 months of age.
I wanted to wait until my Dalmatian is 2 years old before neutering but he is cryptorchid so the Vet said I have to neuter him at 18 months old.
My 3.5 year old boy, neutered at 4 months because he was cryptorchid, who was very leggy, tall, gangly, and lacked what I would consider obvious secondary sex characteristics. Although I think most of us could look at him and guess male, especially his head and chest do not scream obvious, big masculine male. His father was a very heavy, stocky, masculine, typical WGSL.
His size (or lack of) is easily seen next to Zeke, who was actually a good 2-3 inches shorter than him
Pictures are worth a thousand words.
My 12 year old 95# boy who was neutered at around 4 months. There is nothing girly about him.
|I have to get my dog neutered. I was going to wait until 18 months, but several vets have advised to have it done at 12 months due to he has one retained testicle. If it wasn't for the retained testicle I would wait until 18 months. I have always had my dogs neutered/spayed. Usually very early, but after doing research we are waiting as long as we have been advised to.
|Neutering isn't too important to me (this is based on the dogs I have owned) as I've never had a problem that I thought neutering might fix or help. And if testicular cancer presented itself I would neuter them at that point. I personally feel if an animal has something (and they as a species remain to be living and thriving) the pros of them remaining with it outweigh the cons a thousand-fold! I'm not a science wizz but I firmly believe everything in a living being is connected and removing one thing can alter the future development of said animal. Everything has a purpose and reason or it wouldn't exist (and in this case the main function is to reproduce, but I'm sure it affects and contributes much more). Now, I'm not against neutering but I see it as more of a last option not as a preventative measure. But that's a personal preference and opinion.
Neutering is a personal choice. If you don't want an intact dog and the responsibility associated with it, then you should 100% neuter.
However, I do believe there are MANY risks associated with early spay and neuter. I strongly feel that dogs should be 12-18 months before neutering. If owners choose to do it beforehand to avoid unwanted behaviors (of which there are really none, sorry), then so be it. But at least understand and acknowledge that you're potentially risking some health concerns for the sake of convenience. Berlin is the first dog I've never neutered (Zeke was done at 9 months, Luther was done at 4 months), and he is 15 months now. I've yet to see any unwanted behavior that my other dogs did not have. He's social, friendly, well behaved, and does not mark everything he sees.
Here are some arguments on the risks from very well respected veterinarian sources
Pet spay-neuter studies spotlight health risks, benefits - VIN
For some reason my computer won't let me share the PDF link, but if you google "long term effects of spay neuter in dogs" a PDF reviewed paper from naiaonline pops up as one of the first links, titled "Long-Term Health Risks and Benefits Associated with Spay and Neuter of Dogs"

Was shopping last weekend for my first pistol.
Here is what on my list right now:
1 Glock 17 (used $400)
2 Sig P6 (used $350)
3 S&W Sigma 9(new $299)
Please help me to chose one :D
Delete the Sigma and add the XD. Just my .02
Look around for a used S&W M&P. Ditto delete Sigma.
Try to get the Glock for less, those SIG P6's could be lower also, ditto on forgetting the Sigma, and might wait for the next gun show.
The Sig P6 only has 8 in the magazine, and you can find them for $299 from dansammo.com.
Ditto on adding the XD :)
All three are decent to excellent pistols. I'd choose the Glock based on the trigger action, which is lighter than the Sigma's and more consistent than the SIG's.
I have yet to hear a really positive report on a Sigma, +1 on XD
If cost is an issue, the Sigma is a good choice. It is reliable and ergonomic though the trigger needs to be worked with a good amount of dry firing to loosen it up. But, as a new pistol owner, a good bit of dry firing is a good idea. Of the other two, I'd go with the Glock. I like a consistent trigger pull shot after shot so the DA/SA of the Sig is not for me and I think it inhibits first time shooters. You should be able to score a used Sigma for $225.
+1 for the XD
Rather than tell you to get something else, I will try to address the three pistols that interest you.
The Sigma is actually a pretty decent pistol. It is reliable and accurate, but it does have one notable deficiency and that is it's heavy trigger pull. If that is all you ever shoot, then you won't know the difference. However, odds are you will not like it. For home defense use, it would suffice. For range use it will suffice as well, as long as you understand the trigger limitations.
The P6 is a classic, and in my hands more accurate than my Glock. They too are reliable, and will make an excellent range gun. I think a pistol with a decocking hammer is a good choice for a beginner, as it is easier for you to quickly determine what condition it is in. On the other hand, if you want a handgun for defense or perhaps even carry, it would not be the best choice of the three because of it's lower magazine capacity and the fact that you *might* have feed issues with hollowpoint rounds. Plus, it's a lot of pistol to carry around for only nine shots.
The Glock would make the best choice if you are going to use the pistol for defense or carry. Of course you can use it at the range too, and in fact would make a fine range gun. Glocks are boringly reliable and adequately accurate. The advantage of the Glock is that you can find aftermarket parts very easily. The ergonomics don't suit everyone, but if it fits your hand well, then I'm sure you would do fine with it.
Bottom line: Sigma if you are poor, P6 if you want a fun/range gun, and Glock if you want a pistol for possible serious "social" uses.

Weather in Massachusetts is seasonal and extremely variable, especially in the spring and fall, so we recommend that you come well prepared, with clothing selected for comfort rather than style. Outdoor temperatures may be warm enough for short-sleeves and cold enough for heavy coats, sometimes within the same day or week!
Winters are cold, and there can be rain, snow or ice. For those who like to walk outside, especially along our marked trails through the woods, we suggest you bring a pair of boots or hiking shoes. As your meditation practice deepens, cool weather may affect you more than usual. Even for indoor wear, you may appreciate long underwear, light gloves, a cap or scarf, warm sweaters or a shawl, and heavy socks. Summers can be hot, and modest lightweight clothing is the norm, including shorts.

Synthetic or synthesized Vitamin Cs such as Ascorbate Acid (which was the first compound to be synthesized from Vitamin C), Calcium Ascorbate (Calcium ascorbate is a calcium salt of ascorbic acid, vitamin C, which is chemically bound to calcium), or Magnesium Ascorbic (is ascorbic acid chemically bound to magnesium). Not that these are bad they are just NOT the whole food form of Vitamin C so therefore missing essentials!

Instead, they are synthetically made ascorbic acid - or variations such as calcium ascorbate, magnesium ascorbate or potassium ascorbate. Like many other vitamins sold today, this synthetic product has things missing from it. Despite marketing claims, these laboratory-produced powders like ascorbic acid are NOT natural C vitamin complexes - and far from it. They are chemically synthesized molecules manufactured in a test tube and are often made from genetically modified corn sugar."Healthy Vitamins RX. Citric Acid: Citric acid can be made from corn... but doesn't have to be. The only way to know if you're product contains citric acid derived from corn is to contact the manufacturer.
Per: http://www.realvitaminc.com/ascorbic-acid.html
Are Ascorbic Acid and Vitamin C Identical? Despite popular belief, they are not structurally identical. Ascorbic acid does not grow on trees or plants. It cannot be grown on a farm. It is produced in a laboratory and is an artificial reduced form of the natural Vitamin C. One analogy to help you understand this is if you compare Vitamin C to an egg, ascorbic acid would be just the egg shell with nothing inside. The Food & Drug Administration has permitted ascorbic acid to be identified as Vitamin C. This is why beverages, foods, and supplements which are fortified with ascorbic acid can say they contain this vitamin. Technically they do contain it, since according to the FDA, theyre allowed to call it that.
When manufactured, Ascorbic Acid is missing 80% of what makes up food grade Vitamin C!
Gene-Altered Vitamin C Issue Stirs Up Controversy in Natural Food Industry
Benefits of Vitamin C to Your Dog - Whole Dog Journal Article
Dogs can produce their own vitamin c so you will have to find the right balance for YOUR particular dog.
Remember that whatever product you choose, that you start with a minimal dose like 250mg and work up from there otherwise diarrhea can occur. When loose stool appears, back off to previous dose where stools were normal and hold there.
Best Vitamin C Supplement?
I've been reading a lot about the benefits of vitamin C supplements and am wanting to add it to my pup's diet but am a little lost as to what type to buy.
I did a lot of searching in the forums and read that whole food sources are best and ascorbic acid isn't helpful. I've heard Ester C recommended, but also that its not good because it contains too much calcium for a puppy...
I don't see much as far as whole food source supplements besides regular Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) with 25 mg of rose hips.
Im so confused about what to buy!
I found one that looks like it uses natural sources, what do you all think about this one?
If anyone has recommendations on which type would be best, that would be so helpful!

Stockton, California. Can you imagine a more pleasant place to be a prisoner of war? If you must be one. The summers are long, the winters fairly mild, and during the 1940s, at least, the captors seemed eager to teach prisoners the American way of life. One key ingredient—as every American schoolchild knows—was football.

From 2006 to 2010 Apple ran its famous Get a Mac ad campaign. Actors differed from country to country, but the premise was always the same: a casually dressed 'cool' guy pretends to be a Mac and mocks his unfashionably dressed colleague who claims to be a PC. In 2008 Microsoft responded with its I'm a PC commercials to celebrate the diversity of its users and, by extension, the diversity of Windows computers. Whether or not consumers were impressed, it is now clear Microsoft's hardware partners were not.
In 2011 a different message now rings loud and clear: "I'm a Mac copy". The trend started in 2009 when HP released the Envy 15, but as IFA 2011 draws to a close it is clear the theme has not been innovation, but duplication.
Ultrabooks and tablets have been the stand out categories from this year's Berlin tech show. The former is a term coined by Intel representing ultra thin, affordable and powerful laptops. Intel enforces strict style, size, weight, component and pricing guidelines on manufacturers who wish to qualify for some of the CPU's giant's $300m subsidies. The result: every model announced - the Acer Aspire S3, Toshiba Portege Z830, Asus UX21 and Lenovo IdeaPad U300s - without exception, look exactly like the MacBook Air.
Don't feel sorry for manufacturers though, even without Intel's incentives they are still at it. At IFA Samsung launched the 15in Series 7 which is a clone of the MacBook Pro.
The main rival to Ultrabooks will be tablets. This sector is even more desperate to pay homage to Apple, having written off the form factor until the Cupertino giant took another stab at it. Now they all want back in, but despite increasingly impressive hardware the public have yet to be tempted. Right now the world's second largest selling tablet is discontinued. 21 months on from the announcement of the first iPad there can be few greater embarrassments.
What's more there will be legal consequences. In recent months Apple has launched a tidal wave of lawsuits upon those it believes to be the main offenders. Rightly or wrongly, some of those suits need to be won. This is why…

In order to build more hype and bring the console to the mass market achieve in getting a console in the homes of most Americans, Microsoft has teamed up with Mountain Dew to give away one Xbox 360 every 10 minutes, 24 hours a day, for 9 weeks straight beginning on August 28th. You will need to register on the website to build a profile and enter codes found in specialty marked beverages and choose when and which codes to play.

PalmOne Introduces LifeDrive
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Business Tools, Productivity
PalmOne has finally made the official announcement of their LifeDrive multimedia PDA. If you are a Palm user, this is the one to look for in the next week or two, which is when they are expected to hit retail. This thing has a 4GB mini hard drive with 16 MB of built-in ROM and a 416MHz XScale processor. Keeping with the times, the LifeDrive also supports 802.11b WiFi and BlueTooth on the Palm OS 5.4 (Garnet) software. A 320 x 480 pixel 65,000 color touch screen round thing thing out. You can expect to drop $500 on this bad boy, but from what reviewers are saying, it may be well worth the price of admission.
E3 Press Events
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Corporate News, PlayStation 3, Wii, Xbox 360
Just because you couldn't attend the all exclusive press events from the top three names in the industry doesn't mean you can't enjoy them from the comfort of your own home. Big thanks go to E3Insider and Spike TV for providing the unfortunate public a look at the events. The videos are of the highlights instead of boring you with every single second of the event. These videos are great, because they focus on the most interesting parts of the events and provide a nice look on the inside to the general public. Wouldn't it be nice if they could provide some goodies to really show the E3 experience? Check out the videos and tell us what you think. We will have our initial impressions of the big three soon.

eFocus 2005: Kingston SD Ultimate 133x Cards
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Misc. Tech
We spoke with Kingston Technology earlier this evening at eFocus, where they were giving the details on their Secure Digital Card product line addition. The new Ultimate SD cards will ship at 512 MB and 1 GB capacities to start, but I am sure a 2 GB version isn't too far away. The new SD Ultimate cards offer significant performance benefits over the current Standard and Elite Pro lines of SD cards, including 133X transfer rates of larger size files. This is great for the rapid shooting demands of professional digital photography.
"Kingston developed the SD Ultimate line to give pro users and serious digital enthusiasts a greater array of choices for their digital media," said Mike Kuppinger, senior product manager, Kingston. "Our SD Ultimate cards provide superb performance to help users optimize their high-end digital equipment—whether it's a digital camera, MP3 player or PDA," continued Kuppinger.
The 512 MB cards will retail for $72 USD, whereas the 1 GB flavor will go for $164 USD. Kingston confirmed that the Ultimate SD Card line will soon be followed by an Ultimate Compact Flash card line with similar speed increases.
AMBER Alert Goes Mobile
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Cell Phones
Today you now have the ability to receive AMBER Alert messages via SMS on your mobile device. In fact, in a chat with Sprint earlier it seems that soon you will even be able to be sent an image of the missing child. Almost the whole country is covered by the service, and thusly can subscribe at no cost. Of course, the standard text messaging fees of your mobile carrier still apply - but aren't those virtually non-existant nowadays?
Xbox 360 Will Be Selectively Backwards Compatible
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Video Games
The Xbox 360 will be able to run some games from the current Xbox library. Microsoft Senior Vice President of the Home and Entertainment Division Robbie Bach says the Xbox 360 will run the "top-selling" games from the current console. Sounds like more of a licensing problem than a true hardware problem to me. With Sony and Nintendo announcing full backwards compatibility, Microsoft better get this right.

E3 2005: Game Boy Micro Introduces Miniature Gaming
Posted by Troy Categories: Video Games
Unsurprisingly, Nintendo is continuing to support their Game Boy Advance by introducing a new addition to the family: Game Boy Micro. At 4 inches wide and 2 inches tall, the diminutive player looks to fill a non-existent void in Nintendo's hardware line. I'm confused by the need to make a smaller player, but I welcome the interesting device. This could be a smart move on Nintendo's part as it's most likely cheaper to produce than the current GBA SP and possibly cheap enough to persuade anyone without a GBA to buy it.

The Nintendo Revolution Image And Details
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Wii, Wireless
Nintendo's press conference is over, and we haven't received that much information on the Revolution other than that the box the are showing off is a prototype, with the final product expected to be much smaller. Here is all I know:
- Total Backwards Compatibility: Not only will the Revolution play standard Gamecube discs, but its owners will also have downloadable access to 20 years of their favorite Nintendo titles from the NES, SNES, and Nintendo 64 as well.
- The specifications: The system boasts 512 megabytes of internal flash memory, wireless controllers, two USB 2.0 ports and built-in Wi-Fi access. A worldwide network of Nintendo players can gather to compete in a comfortable, inviting environment. Revolution's technological heart, a processing chip developed with IBM and code-named "Broadway," and a graphics chip set from ATI code-named "Hollywood," will deliver game experiences not previously possible.
- SD Card Expansion: A bay for an SD memory card will let players expand the internal flash memory.
- Two disc formats, one slot: Instead of a tray, a single, innovative, self-loading media bay will play both 12-centimeter optical discs used for the new system as well as Nintendo GameCube discs. Owners will have the option of equipping a small, self-contained attachment to play movies and other DVD content.
- Wireless Gaming Network: A number of Wi-Fi-enabled launch titles are in development that will employ Nintendo's newly announced wireless gaming service, Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection. A worldwide network of Nintendo players can gather to compete in a comfortable, inviting environment.
E3: Mario To Work Overtime In Baseball, Soccer, Party 7, and Dance Dance Revolution!
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Nintendo Gamecube, Sports
Well, Nintendo has announced that Mario will be working overtime on the Gamecube in 2005. We have all heard about Mario Baseball, so that isn't too much of a surprise. What we didn't know is that he and his crew will also be starring in a soccer title. You can also look forward to seeing the next version of Mario Party, which will feature simultaneous 8-player support. Not bad. The biggest news as far as Mario is concerned, though, is that Nintendo will be bringing us Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Edition. I can definitely feel that.
Business Formation: Partnership
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Legal, Planning
A partnership is ideal when two or more parties want to go into business together. Using the online business model as an example, you may have the knowledge about running a business and managing its finances, but not a clue about web design, marketing, or advertising. If you happened to know someone with strong design and marketing skills, you may choose to start a company together. It is great to enter into this kind of relationship with someone you trust and can bounce ideas off of. There are a few things to look out for when forming a partnership. Each member pays taxes based on the percentage of the company that they own. This should be clearly explained and identified before starting up. A Partnership Agreement should be drawn up and signed by all parties. This should lay the foundation for the dividing of all assets and liabilities. If no agreement is in place, then all members will be considered equally liable and/or entitled to all assets and liabilities regardless of how much more or less one person works than another.

FS means is DA/SA, but the satey works as both a saftey AND a decocker.
The G is also SA/DA, but the safety is ONLY a decocker. Once you flip the safety, it drops the hammer and then the saftey switch itself goes back into the fire position. Many people prefer this because they are afraid that the safety may get hit by accident, and then the gun would be stuck in "safe mode" without their knowledge.
The FS was always fine with me, personally. I rarely ever used the safety, and it never got hooked on anything when I used a 92FS.
The DAO is only double action.
And, unless you buy one of the more rare, esxpensive models with a frame mounted safety, there is no was to carry the gun in condition 1 safely.

A short film made by Craig Bingham. Race Across America; two teams (USA and GB) come together forming "Allied Forces" to take on the challenge of cycling across America in less than 5days 5hours 5mins to set a new world record. With the goal to use the record and show their adventure as a platform to raise awareness and funding for Help for Heroes and Woundered Warriors. This is their story.
Words by Craig Bingham:
"For me, experiencing the world through endless second hand information isn't enough. If you want authenticity , you have to initiate it. During RAAM 2012 I followed the Strategic Lions for my first time photographing their epic adventure across the States in stills. This year I packed my camera , lenses and set out to not just capture stills, but also to make a film! We set out with the British cycling team "Strategic Lions" to join one of the United States cycling teams "4mil", coming together to form an 8 man relay team- "Allied Forces"."
From doing the race last year, there's no way you can possibly feel or experience RAAM without actually doing it. I think the most challenging thing about my job whether it be photography or film, is capturing what you see in the way you see it in your head. I really wanted to try and capture the atmosphere of the event. I wanted to capture the colour, the scenery, the sounds and folly, the rider's personalities but mostly the human spirit- knitted all together tightly to give you a very detailed view through their window. And there are moments which just cannot be rehearsed or recreated. As a film maker I had to be on the lookout constantly, and not just capturing the riders, but also the landscapes which do literally disappear within seconds- the race is that fast. The smallest emotions and unnoticed details built up in a way which grabs the audiences full attention is what I am passionate about. I do my job purely for the viewing pleasure and reaction of others. Finding a way to immortalize imagery for others to view and replay again and again...you just can't beat it."
"We'll never know our full potential unless we push ourselves to find it. It's this self-discovery that inevitably takes us to the wildest places on earth."
"When it comes down to it, it's pretty simple, adventure is what you make it. And whether it's the travel, the discovery, or just the feeling of letting go....the only way we'll find out, it's to just get out there and do it.....enjoy the ride."
Riders: Billy Edwards, Andy Watson, Wayne Dowd, John Tanner, Kevin Dawson, Keith Murray, Shawn Olin, Jonathan Puskas
The team broke the record finishing in 5 days, 3 hours and 45 minutes. A total distance of 2962 miles was covered in a successful effort to raise awareness for combat injured soldiers. A job well done, gentlemen. Thank you for making the SCOTT Family proud!
