So, you have a bunch of videos on a DVD and you want to upload them to the Internet, but it's just not working. It's because a DVD file is different from video files like .wmv, .avi, .mov and .mpeg4. I've often had people ask me how to convert a DVD to a media file that you can upload.
There are a couple of affordable solutions. The two programs that I use most often are Handbrake, and Mpegstreamclip. Both are free and easy to use.
In this tutorial, I show you how to use Mpegstreamclip. In addition to converting a DVD to a range of file formats, you can also compress videos for the Web, download YouTube videos, and covert files.
Please leave a comment if this is helpful, or share this tutorial with your network.

Protecting Chickens from Salmonella Starts With the EggBy Jill Lee
ATHENS, Ga., Dec. 8--A simple three-step process can help poultry producers keep Salmonella and other food pathogens out of poultry--and may increase profits. It all begins with the egg, according to scientists at the Agricultural Research Service.
Three simple steps will reduce the Salmonella threat for egg-hatching and poultry-production operations," said ARS microbiologist Mark Berrang. "The steps involve cleaning the eggs, treating chicks with a safe spray and using beneficial microbes to protect growing birds.
Taking these measures can also net higher prices for those who produce fertile eggs for meat production, said Berrang, at the agencys Richard B. Russell Agricultural Research Center in Athens, Ga.
Berrang outlined the steps as follows:
Working with a farmer, Berrang confirmed the effectiveness of the first step. This producer found cleaning and disinfecting eggs paid for itself. That's because more of the eggs would could be sold at a higher price. A dozen clean hatching eggs sell for about 30 cents. Dirty or stained eggs sell for only about 7 cents a dozen for use in pasteurized egg products.
The difference can be important to a producers pocketbook. ARS scientists estimate that a large-scale farm selling millions of eggs annually could recover the cost of the spraying equipment in two years.

Wiggle sans is a hand-drawn animated typeface created as a personal project
Olive is a Lot of Things! is an interactive storybook app for a pre-school audience, currently in development. The art and story are created by me, with the interactive elements being developed by Creative Technologist Tim Crook.Through Olive's vivid imagination we see her undertaking a variety of exciting and colourful jobs - as a deep-sea diver, a jungle adventurer, astronaut, and artist. As Olive undertakes each of her imaginary jobs, she encourages the young reader to count the stars in the sky, draw pictures with her on an easel, and identify the colours of the bright fishes in the sea.At the end of the story, we identify some of the main objects, animals and people we have seen in the story and the reader is encouraged to match the correct phonic sound to each of these words. Olive's story encourages the reader to use their imagination, and encourage their parents to join in with their pretend games too.Vitally, Olive picks a diverse range of jobs in her imagination, free of gender stereotyping or limited notions of 'suitable' games for girls. Olive is a bright and and imaginative girl, and as a main character can appeal to girls and boys alike.

About Shine a Light
WUSC wants to increase the availability of quality primary, secondary and post-secondary education in refugee camps and to close the gender gap in education between refugee boys and girls. The Shine a Light campaign is a great way to help us address this gender imbalance.
Kenya Equity in Education Project
Girls want to improve their school performance and make up the classes that they missed during the day. When after-school classes are offered in the camps, they are filled to capacity. Girls can make up for lost time and succeed if we can offer more classes after regular school hours.
In April 2013, WUSC, along with Windle Trust Kenya (WTK), secured funding to continue our work in girls' education in Kenya. The Kenya Equity in Education Project (KEEP) was one of the initiatives selected by the UK government's aid agency Department for International Development (DFID).
WUSC Local Committees and individual donors played a crucial part in the development of KEEP by raising money and awareness for the Shine a Light campaign, Now, the Shine a Light campaign will redirect focus and funds on refugee girls' education in Malawi.
Why Girls?
- In refugee camp classes, boys outnumber girls 4:1
- 62 million girls of primary age are out of school.
- The gender gap in education is biggest in sub-Saharan Africa, with 23 million girls completely missing out on school.
- In many African countries, only one in four girls has a chance of receiving a secondary education. At the post-secondary level, there are twice as many male students as female ones.
- Barriers can be religious or cultural, but are more often simple constraints such as lack of teachers, uniforms, textbooks, or sanitary supplies.
Education as a positive force for girls
- Girls who study regularly and do well in school inspire their families and communities. Other family members may take advantage of the lamps to read and study, or may become more interested in education.
- Girls in school are more likely to avoid early marriage.
- Educating a girl dramatically reduces the chance that her child will die before age five.
- Educated women are more likely to have healthy, spaced pregnancies, which leads to healthy and educated children.5
- Educating a girl improves her ability to support herself and make informed decisions about her own life.
- Educating a girl provides her with the confidence to value her body and appreciate her self-worth. This allows her to have a say in the wellbeing of herself, her family and her community.
- Educated girls can secure better jobs that provide benefits to the entire family.
- Educating girls and women is a "best bet" investment. It leads to higher incomes, lower birth rates, reduced infant mortality and increased public health.

Power triode preamp a different way
I have seen Pete's low mu triode preamp in which he uses CCS load to linearize the pass tube triodes that are the main active devices. This got me to thinking, what if we use a triode that is already quite linear and use regular resistive loading. You will be dropping significant power in the load resistors but the active load dumps a lot of power too.
So I looked at the data sheet for the power triode in the 6EM7. According to the rp plots and plate curves we ought to get pretty low Zout (well under 1K) and linearity running a b+ around 300V or a bit more with 140V on the plate and around 40mA of current. We would need to dissipate about 5 or six watts in the plate load (around 5K ohms IIRC) which wouldn't be hard to do with a hand full of paralleled MF resistors. I was thinking fixed bias to make the maximum use of the available B+ and avoid having to dissipate large wattage in the cathode resistor too. This also would also allow easy experimentation with different bias levels.
The extra small signal triodes can be used for buffers for a subwoofer output or as part of a built in crossover or phono preamp.

A couple of things I disagree with. First, the question of linearization. No matter what triode you choose, the linearity will be worse with a resistor load than with a CCS. The transfer function is mu times load resistance divided by the sum of load and plate resistances. Plate resistance varies strongly with current, load resistance and mu are relatively constant. The variation in the TF is minimized with higher load resistance.
Second, the CCS load allows you to reduce the dissipated power by working with a reduced B+ for a given output swing.

There is 50+ pages discussing a resistively loaded 12B4 line stage here. The 12B4 is a vertical sweep triode similar to the big half of a 6EM7. I played with it for a while and then lost interest. Most of my 6EM7 experiments have used the big half with a CCS load and a lot of B+ to make lots of drive voltage to feed a cathode follower or screen driven output stages. My issue with the 6EM7 / 6EA7 is not the big half. It is the small half. They are very inconsistent and the gain can vary over a 2 to 1 ratio from tube to tube in a given circuit. I have tried a lot of them >50.
Another trick that can be used is to put a CCS and a resistor in parallel. On some triodes this can be more linear than either by itself. On many pentodes it can increase the gain over a resistor without increasing the distortion too much.
Yet another 12B4 line stage, or is the 12B4 better than the Grounded Grid.....

Forgot about that one. I will have to page through that one again. Looks like he had good sucess with it. 12B4 has about half the max plate dissipation of the 6EM7 and a bit higher rp than the 6EM7 but similar enough. In a quick perusal of the first couple of posts it appears that he was able to run at about half the current that I was calculating for the 6EM7. The graphs for the 6EM7s show that the plate resistance is substantially increased at lower current. I haven't seen rp graphs for the 12B4 so I don't know how close to optimum the 12B4 design is.
Gain variation on the small signal triode would not be too important for use as a subwoofer output buffer but might make it a bad choice for use in a phono pre.
I didn't mean to imply that a CCS would not improve linearity on virtually any triode but it was my understanding that pass tubes that Pete was using had significantly greater distortion than most power triodes and thus more of a need for the CCS.
I hadn't considered the ability to lower B+ (at least on SS CCS) and thus reduce the power dissipation. In any case 12W for the pair doesn't really bother me too much.

Born to Sing: No Plan Bby Van Morrison
Born to Sing: No Plan B is Van Morrison's first studio offering in four years and his second for Blue Note. It is the longest span of studio silence in his career. Uncharacteristically, he recorded the set in his hometown of Belfast with a crack sextet that includes a three-piece horn section with an alto saxophone. Trombonist Alistair White also features prominently; his warm timbres, muted colors, and delightful solos are centerpieces in many songs. Born to Sing: No Plan B is more jazz-centric, but not at the expense of his trademark Celtic swing, blues, and soul. Morrison's singing is unfettered, relaxed, and unguarded. His charts are simultaneously more sophisticated and organic. "Open the Door (To Your Heart)" opens with a souled-out guitar atop a laid-back B-3 and Memphis-styled bassline. The horns groove underneath Morrison's vocal, which is underscored by piano vamps. Lyrically, he states one of the album's primary themes: the real cost of materialism and greed. The soul-drenched "End of the Rainbow" and the old-school R&B set closer, "Educating Archie," also address the theme directly and tastefully. But it's "If in Money We Trust" -- the set's finest moment -- where he gets down inside it and lays out his truth with some of the finest low-end singing of his career in a brooding jazz-blues with meaty piano, canny interwoven dialogue between the horns, and taut bass and hand percussion that bubble in the pocket. That theme aside, this isn't a political record; it's not preachy, angry, or even disillusioned. It's Morrison merely laying down his own analytic reportage from the headlines. The title cut is a strolling R&B arrangement that certainly evokes those he heard from bar bands as a kid in Belfast. In it one can hear everyone from Fats Domino to Belfast's Bluebeats Show Band in the arrangement -- check the muted trombone break answered by clarinet. The breezy, ironic "Goin Down to Monte Carlo" bemusedly contains John Paul Sartre's infamous "Hell is other people." The tune suggests that the most vapid place on earth is perhaps the best place to "get some peace." It contains an upright bass solo, a gorgeous muted trumpet break, and fine, laid-back scat singing from Morrison. Likewise, "Close Enough for Jazz" (an older instrumental with lyrics) is a perfect meld of swinging R&B and post-swing jazz. "Mystic from the East" and "Retreat and View" are spiritual in nature; they connect directly to a constant theme in Morrison's oeuvre. The darker side of spirituality is evoked in "Pagan Heart," with Morrison paying tribute to John Lee Hooker via snarling electric guitar playing, as well as Robert Johnson in the lyric. Morrison sounds fully engaged, revitalized, even ambitious. On Born to Sing: No Plan B he's compiled the various elements of his musical oeuvre and assembled them into a seamless, glorious whole.

WARNING: READ CAREFULLY The staff does not speak English (just a few words), only Spanish can help you. I have never before felt so low and betrayed as I did here. We are over charged by twice the price. At first we didn't want to pay, but we were kind of forced to, as we didn't have anywhere else to go. We didn't sleep for about 30 hours. The state in which the building is can be described as almost a ruin, probably in the next few years it will fall apart.

BASS tournaments are held on sprawling lakes over several days of competition. But did you ever wonder how a top pro would fare on your home lake — that little body of water down the road where you and your buddies fish for bass? Welcome to Bassmaster's reality series. Here, we put the superstars of competitive bass fishing on small lakes they've never seen before, then give them seven hours to figure out a viable pattern, logging everything they do to find and catch bass.
This month Dave Wolak takes the Bassmaster challenge. The 30-year-old Warrior Run, Pa., pro has qualified for two Classics, was the 2005 Toyota Rookie of the Year and won the 2006 Bassmaster American event at Lake Wylie, S.C. Here's what happened on Sept. 8, 2006, when Wolak took on Lake Y, a 700-acre reservoir.
› 6:48 a.m. We arrive at Lake Y's remote launch ramp. It's foggy with an air temp of 60 degrees; a high in the mid-80s is forecast for later in the day. Wolak is towing a Toyota-wrapped Ranger Z21 equipped with a 250-hp Yamaha outboard, Minn Kota trolling motor and Lowrance electronics. He uses custom rods wrapped on G.Loomis blanks.
› 7:00 a.m. Wolak launches his boat. The water in Lake Y is stained and 78 degrees. "I'm gonna take a quick tour of the lake," he says as he dons his life jacket.
› 7:11 a.m. We've run to the lower end of the lake. "Did you see all those balls of shad up on top?" he asks. "That's a good sign — maybe there'll be some schooling activity."
› 7:12 a.m. Wolak makes his first cast in a shallow cove with a homemade green shad 3/8-ounce buzzbait.
› 7:13 a.m. Wolak bags his first bass of the day, 1 pound, 12 ounces, off a laydown log in the back of the cove: "Who stocked this lake when I wasn't looking?" he jokes.
› 7:15 a.m. The Pennsylvania pro starts working down the dam with the buzzbait.
› 7:20 a.m. He tries a 5-ounce green pumpkin Zoom finesse worm on a homemade 1/8-ounce jighead around a culvert on the levee: "This is the same lure I won the Lake Wylie tournament on." But there are no takers here.
› 7:25 a.m. Back to the buzzbait. A bass boils on the lure; Wolak swings and misses.
› 7:26 a.m. He immediately pitches a homemade white surface popper at the boil: "I've used this lure for years; it spits as well as pops, and I've caught a ton of bass on it."
› 7:27 a.m. Wolak catches a tiny bass on the buzzbait.
› 7:28 a.m. On his next cast, another undersized bass smacks the buzzer: "It's common to find a bunch of small bass spread out on rocks along a dam early in the morning. The bigger fish will usually be bunched up in a sweet spot where the rocks are dished out deeper or stacked up higher."
› 7:34 a.m. Wolak nears the end of the levee. He's retrieving the buzzer with intermittent twitches of the rod tip so it jerks and sputters erratically. Another bass rolls on the buzzer, but doesn't hook up. "Somethin' big's gonna eat this thing any minute!" he predicts.
› 7:35 a.m. He tries the homemade popper on a rock point at the end of the levee.
› 7:38 a.m. Wolak puts his trolling motor on high and moves to a nearby bank. I ask him about his fishing experiences while growing up: "As a kid, I fished for everything — bass, trout, salmon, walleye, musky, stripers, you name it. I think it's a mistake to focus too narrowly on any one species when you're just starting out as an angler — the multispecies approach is the way to go. It's amazing how I've eventually folded knowledge I gained from, say, fly fishing for brown trout, into my bass fishing."
› 7:45 a.m. "What happened to all that bait we saw when we were running downlake?" Wolak wonders as he retrieves the buzzer. "The lake looks dead now!"
› 7:46 a.m. He pitches a black and blue 3/8-ounce Fin-tech Title Shot jig with a matching Venom Dream Craw trailer at a submerged tree. A light breeze blows out of the southeast, peeling away the fog.
› 7:51 a.m. He flips the jig into a submerged tree.
› 7:53 a.m. Wolak retrieves the buzzbait past the tree; a bass sucks it in and instantly spits it out: "I saw that fish; it was a 2-pounder."
› 7:55 a.m. He tries the finesse worm around the tree.
› 7:56 a.m. Back to the buzzer. A bass pulls it under but doesn't hook up. Wolak removes the trailer hook from the bait and turns it upside down: "Maybe that'll stick those short strikers!"
› 7:58 a.m. We move to the back of a cove, where Wolak tries the popper and buzzbait without success.
› 8:14 a.m. He catches a short fish on the popper. "There oughta be one or two big bass back in here," he says. "I'm sure not seeing any bait, though."
› 8:17 a.m. A 2-pounder follows the buzzbait to the boat, but doesn't strike it.
› 8:27 a.m. Wolak sheds his jacket as the sun rises to the tops of the trees. He cranks the Yamaha and moves to the next tributary uplake: "Generally I prefer banks with a gradual slope and subtle transitions on them this time of year. The better-quality fish will stick to those seemingly insignificant areas where there's a little high spot or depression."
› 8:40 a.m. Wolak has slowed his pace considerably, pitching a jig to scattered cover along a tributary bank.
› 8:43 a.m. A dink taps the jig in a treetop.
› 8:46 a.m. He catches an undersized bass on the buzzbait: "Shoreline rat!"
› 8:58 a.m. Wolak pitches the finesse worm around a stump 10 feet off the bank.
› 9:04 a.m. Wolak idles 50 yards off a main lake point and rigs up a green pumpkin Zoom Baby Brush Hog on a Carolina rig. The rig features a 2-foot leader of 15-pound fluorocarbon.
› 9:09 a.m. He approaches the point with his trolling motor, fancasting the buzzbait as he goes.
› 9:10 a.m. A good bass slurps in the buzzer off the point; he sets the hook, reels the fish to the boat, and it comes unbuttoned as he goes to swing it aboard. "That was the best bite I've had all day, and there were two others just like it swimming with it while I was fighting it!"
› 9:22 a.m. Wolak follows the point around to where it transitions into a tributary channel bank. He presses into the creek, chunking the buzzbait as he goes.
› 9:28 a.m. He moves out of the cove and tries the Carolina rig on a secondary point.
› 9:30 a.m. Back to the buzzbait. A small bass rolls on it as it sputters past a stump.
› 9:32 a.m. Another small bass attacks the buzzer, but doesn't hook up.
› 9:40 a.m. The wind has picked up considerably. Wolak tries the jig on a big submerged stump: "If this were March, there'd be a 10-pounder on that stump!"
› 9:42 a.m. The popper fails to produce a strike along the bank.
› 9:48 a.m. "I'm hurtin' down on this end of the lake — let's try the upper end," Wolak suggests as he stows the trolling motor.
› 9:55 a.m. Wolak runs to the extreme upper end of Lake Y; here the water is shallow, stumpy and a bit murkier. He ties on a Bass Pro Shops Lucky Craft Rick Clunn 1.5 shallow running crankbait.
› 10:02 a.m. The crankbait deflects off a stump and a bass loads on. Wolak's second keeper of the day weighs 1 pound, 1 ounce: "That stump was at the end of a little point coming off the bank. I saw the fish hit it."
› 10:05 a.m. "This lake looks like it's down about a foot from what it normally is," Wolak observes as he continues cranking the 1.5. "I'd sure like to fish here when it is up a foot or two and all this shallow wood is submerged!"
› 10:07 a.m. The crankbait spooks a big carp off a sunken log.
› 10:09 a.m. He flips the jig into a treetop.
› 10:15 a.m. Back to the crankbait, still poundin' wood.
› 10:19 a.m. "I can't believe I'm not getting more hits up here — it looks awesome!" Wolak exclaims. He casts the buzzbait to a fallen tree and hauls water.
› 10:30 a.m. He catches a big bluegill on the crankbait.
› 10:36 a.m. He crosses over to the opposite bank and cranks the 1.5.
› 10:40 a.m. Wolak catches his third keeper, 1 pound even, on the crankbait: "Exact same scenario as the other two keepers; it was on a piece of wood that was jutting farther off the bank than the cover around it. You really need to keep your eyes peeled for those subtle differences in a lake like this that has so much seemingly identical cover."
› 11:00 a.m. Wolak has cranked the entire stretch of bank, but hasn't come up with another bass.
› 11:08 a.m. He bags an 11-inch largemouth on the 1.5.
› 11:12 a.m. A school of bass chases baitfish to the surface two casts from the boat. Wolak ties on a 1/4-ounce chrome and black Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap and burns it through the shallows.
› 11:20 a.m. Back to combing the shoreline with the 1.5.
› 11:22 a.m. He retrieves the buzzbait past a submerged stumprow: "C'mon, big fish, eat it!" The air temp has risen to 80 degrees.
› 11:28 a.m. Wolak's fourth keeper, 1 pound, 4 ounces, smacks the buzzbait. "He was in 6 inches of water!"
› 11:34 a.m. Wolak has run out of water; he turns the boat around and fancasts the buzzer to scattered wood cover.
more water under 'em than most of the other cover I've been fishing."
› 12:10 p.m. A bass chases baitfish to the surface ahead of the boat as he pitches the jig down the bank.
› 12:15 p.m. Wolak catches his sixth keeper on the crankbait; the 1-pound bass is no help to his weight total.
› 12:23 p.m. Wolak moves to the next tributary downlake and tries the jig around some shallow wood cover. Cloud cover is beginning to form and the wind has died.
› 12:36 p.m. A 2-pounder takes the buzzbait under. No hookup.
› 12:40 p.m. Wolak shakes the jig through a submerged brushpile.
› 12:53 p.m. Wolak reverses the buzzbait's trailer hook so it's riding up again instead of down.
› 12:57 p.m. "I need the big bite!" Wolak admits as he flips the jig into a sunken tree. Nothing.
› 12:59 p.m. He ties on a vintage blue and chartreuse Poe's 400 deep diving crankbait: "I'm gonna spend a few minutes cranking the point leading into this creek arm.
"›1:10 p.m. "The Ole Grump is sittin' down there just waitin' to eat this crankbait!" Wolak says as he dredges the point with the Poe's.
› 1:19 p.m. "So much for deep structure fishing!" Wolak announces, stashing his crankbait rod. He roars to the back of the tributary arm.
› 1:23 p.m. An immature bass attacks the buzzbait.
› 1:37 p.m. Wolak catches his seventh keeper, 1 pound, 2 ounces, off a sunken log in the back of the creek on the RC 1.5; it culls the 1-pounder he caught earlier.
› 1:38 p.m. He bags his eighth keeper, 1 pound, 1 ounce, on the 1.5; it's no help to his weight total. "I'm on fire now!" he laughs.
› 1:46 p.m. He catches his ninth keeper, 1 pound, on the RC; again, no help: "There must be a million bass that size in this lake!"
› 1:52 p.m. He zips to a nearby steep channel bank and soaks the jig around some deeper wood cover, but can't shake a fish loose.
› 2:00 p.m. Back to the ramp. Wolak ends his day on Lake Y with nine keeper bass, the five biggest of which weigh 6 pounds, 5 ounces.
"Not knowing the lake, I'm convinced I made the right decision by staying shallow most of the day," Wolak told Bassmaster. "Fishing offshore structure is a good strategy this time of year if you know where the deep stuff is. The bite definitely picked up in the afternoon, which isn't uncommon this time of year › often the baitfish get more active and the bass move shallower as the sun warms the water. If I were to fish here tomorrow, I'd concentrate on the extreme back ends of the creek arms and hope I'd catch some of the bigger fish we saw cruising around today."
Where And When Dave Wolak Caught His Five Biggest Keepers

I did find a small JJCO NY NY on the right side of the receiver!
I just bought a Ment 303 Enfield, 1942, Mk III No 1 Collectors Grade, Unfinneshed Stock, Metal is 100 o/o black, not one ding any place, Glascow SMLE. Can not find a import mark any place! Any Thoughts on a price?
I did find a small JJCO NY NY on the right side of the receiver!
The Jovino company had some that came in in mint condition... and MANY more that they refinished and added new stocks to.
Words Conquer!
Any idea on a price? I would like to keep this one for the Grand Kids!
Does the serial number have an alphabetic prefix (A12345) or suffix (12345A)? Makes a huge difference in value.

There were alot of Lithgow #1's in that batch, from part guns to FTR'd and put away rifles.
Oh dear....
John Jovino Co. is VERY well known in Lee Enfield circles as making up rifles from new parts and selling them as new.
Enfield wasn't making No.1 receivers in 1942, and nowhere in Glasgow made No.1s either - I suspect you mean Lithgow (in New South Wales, Australia) which fits in with what JJ Co. were doing, buying new surplus parts from Australia.
Very sorry to burst your bubble - I would love to be proven wrong. We will need to see some pics. A dead give away is that the bore is blued...
I owned one for a few years in the late 1990s and couldn't give it away...... I ended up selling it for half of what I paid.
I have been collecting Russian rifles for over 45 years and have done well with it! The 303 is out of my league but was helping a friend who
needed some cash ASAP. So I could eather put it in the safe or sell it as is ! I paid 150 cash ! I will send pics once my wife can help me out!!
Either way it is a good deal. If you shoot, Enfields are a must have.
Slim Tim,
The receiver has X****! And it is Lithgow!! The left side has a crown with cross flags.
Unfortunately, Lithgow used letter prefix serial numbers running from Axxxx through Fxxxx.
To expand:
That serial number is a dead give away clue the weapon is a parts put together that JJ Jovino was selling and they are in mint unused condition when being sold. Usually has a black parkerized type of finish and no marks like MA VII on the butt stock. They are real Lithgows with real parts on them ....just not original rifles.
You got the rifle for a great price, I think these Enfields will end up like the Bannerman 1903 Springfields and have a collector value associated with them as a hybrid variant specialty item. THey are beautiful looking rifles and do tell you what a Lithgow would have looked like in metal and wood condition fresh from the factory way back when.
CAUTION: many of those do not have recoil blocks put in the forends. If you are not familiar with what recoil blocks are and what to look for, find someone to help you. You do not want to shoot that weapon without these blocks or else you chance the forearm splintering and some chance of injury.
Second caution: do not screw the huge screw inside the butt trap...either to tighten it or to loosen and remove the stock...you must take off the forearm first before messing with this bolt or your will crack the forearm and damage the irreplaceable New Old Stock wood on the weapon.
Installation of recoil blocks. I have not done it personally but I do have one rifle that requires this procedure. Brian Dick LTD might have the recoil blocks and screws so pulse him. Maybe some forum members can help out on these parts. The installation of these blocks does take fitting so it might be something you want to do or not want to do.
I would recommend getting blocks installed and shooting the heck out of the rifle and enjoy it. The rifle is essentially a new condition Lithgow so its accuracy will be very fine indeed and why not enjoy it.
Lastly, the sour grapes about it not being original is a collector thing and while collectors are accurate in telling you that fact, what they fail to recognize is that it is 2010 and rifle such as yours is still desirable and the sum of its parts exceed $300 in value which is twice what you paid. Enjoy the bloody rifle is what I am saying and who cares if its a parts gun / bitzer , just shoot it ...after recoil block check of course.
My recollection is that the alphabetic prefix is an original Lithgow, suffix was a JJCo bitser. Someone will undoubtably correct me if I'm wrong.
That would mean your rifle, albeit a JJCo, would be valued somewhat higher than the bitsers.

share all their knowledg about the guns!
Doc: email me at: [email protected]
I got photos of what you need that I pulled off the internet forums on Enfields. I will be happy to send them to you
+1 for what all of the previous posters have said...it's new to you...perform the minor bedding, check the headspace..(.tho I've never found one out of spec), and shoot it ! If you don't already, learn to cast and reload for it and your Mosins(same bullet)...
I'll gladly pay even today's inflated prices for a box of Wolf or Prvi Partisan(boxer primed), knowing that I'll get roughly 25 firings out of each piece of brass if I neck size.I know that lots of collectors don't cast and reload..I don't understand it, but it doesn't affect me.
My AR15 sits crying in the gun safe.....
[B]Swabbie: I beileve the reluctance on reloading and casting is due to milsurp ammo being widely available and still reasonably priced. Still...reloading
is an investment that has paid dividends all my life and casting is just another great option to making these milsurp riflles shoot well and last longer.
I agree with you entirely. Problem in my area is wheel weights to make bullets from has become near impossible to find due to most tire outlets saying its a EPA hazmat
item and they got contracted removal of them. Hard for me to find wheel wts.
I tried Brian at BDL and he was out of them. There is a nice thread on Surplus Rifles forum how to make them from scratch and install. What ever you do dont fire your Lithgow till the recoil blocks are in place. Your coachwood stock will shatter sooner or later.
Good luck. Its a bit**ch of a job.
"Vertroue in God en die Mauser".-Faith in God and the Mauser.
The motto of my ancestors, that gallant band of brothers, who fought an equally gallant enemy in 1899-1900
That only confirms the drama I had a hunch was looming ahead on this project.
I wouldn't recommend taking apart a SMLE and messing around with the bedding unless you know exactly what you're doing. There was a lot of hand fitting of the wood to these things, and it's easy to mess it up.
BTW, Jovino did also bring in quite a few perfectly original rifles, that weren't parts guns. I've got one, a 1941 dated Lithgow that completely original and close to mint condition. On some of those - mine included - the import marks were applied so small, lightly struck and hidden that you have to know exactly where to look, and even then, you almost need a magnifying glass and just the right light to see them. They're on top of the barrel, under the rear sight leaf. Basically, invisible. Nothing like the billboard nonsense people slap on rifles these days.
I believe mine is FTR'd and then was stored.
Jungles: totally agree. JJCO did bring some original weapons in, and some were unissued originals. THey also brought in used original weapons and then they took used parts and new parts and made up parts rifles . Its a big menu and sometimes its cloudy to identify what the weapon is.
For instance: If the weapon is all new looking, has a 1945 date and then a MA 51 on the wrist: Is it a FTR (not marked FTR) or was it a weapon that was MA Lithgow rebuilt but not stocked up in wood and JJCO took the refurbed rifle parts and stocked up.
Some of these JJCO new looking No 1 Enfields are tough to really ID.
Mine is completely original, down to the last part, all 1941 and completely matching. It's one of the ones's with the green school stripes on the buttstock. But I agree, with these Jovino imports, you've really got to know exactly what you're looking at. Most of the "new" parts guns are pretty easy to spot, as are the true originals, but I've seen some in between that can leave you scratching your head.
I am under the impression that the JJovino built rifles had serial numbers that were 4 digits and ended in "a". I have not seen many only about 4 total.
Last edited by finestkind; 02-09-2010 at 09:59 PM. Reason: spelling
So my Jovino Lithgow .303 with a "C" prefix (C6xxxx) is an original? Is it that simple?
The bolt has the serial number without the C prefix....is that proper for an Aussie built .303?
The serial number on the receiver is stamped rather askew, "C" above the numbers which zig zag a bit and are not at all evenly spaced. Is that just 1941 nerves? Receiver dated 1941..wood is 1943.
That rifle sounds like an original to me. A 41 dated rifle could have had wood replacement and 43 SLAZ wood installed. Is there any FTR marks on it or a R mark on metal or butt stock? Is the 1943 the fore end and if so: does it have the weapons serial number stamped on the underside up near the nose cap?
The only JJCO serial numbers I have seen stamped on a receiver were done over XXXX 's put on the original serial number and its obvious it was re serial numbered and those will show the bolt re stamped as well.
My guess is your serial number is correct and unless your bolt shows re stamping or milling off and re stamping: I think yours is one of the JJCO original weapons that was imported.
JJCO when it was in full swing did batch together wood to metal and make weapons ..... old parts / replacement parts to used weapons in all manner of condition, new parts to unissued bbl actions, new parts to reconditioned / reblued bbl actions , and new parts to FTR weapons that were in various state of repair/refurbishment.
The is a leap made every time someone sees JJCO as importer to assume its not originial. This is entirely incorrect. They did import original weapons without messing with them and sold them as such. Many had the painted stripes for cadet use on them but not all.
Thus, a JJCO marked Lithgow requires a pause and hard look to see what it really is. Many are truly original Lithgows right out of storage from the Australian MOD and legit as can be.
Then, there are some that could be , might be and remain always to be : QUESTION MARKS . I have one of those that American collectors say is 100% and Australian guys say: no way that is right. The upside is I like it and it looks brand new and I side with the Aussies as I think they got the edge on spotting a bitser .
Two clues push the Aussies case: the butt stock has no marks on it and is brand new SLAZ replacement wood ( No MA VII on it) and the new SLAZ wood foreend has no recoil blocks inside of it. Those two clues tell me this MA 51 stamped rifle (refurbished rifle and all metal looks new and is correct) is a correct bbl action that was FTR'd but never completed and JJCO stocked it up with new old stock SLAZ wood and sold it as a complete original rifle. All original new or FTR to new correct parts but its not a correct rifle in the sense it left the FTR site all put together with out recoil blocks in 1951 and they also did not serial number the fore end wood either. Too many things undone by the FTR site ....and that just does not ring true.
Maybe this rifle was a incomplete rifle stocked up by Jovino?
The pins you see are reinforcements to the coach wood forearm and are proper for a Lithgow in that wood. Not a problem and good to go. No..........that has nothing to do with the recoil blocks.
The lack of a serial number on fore end wood between the bayonet lug and first HG band on the underside may mean its a replaced forearm done during depot repair and post war (as I understand it from Aussies) the scrubbed nose cap was done post war during such repairs of rifles.
That your receiver, bolt and rear sight leaf have same serial number is a very good sign. Is the barrel serial numbered to the receiver with same number? You will have to (CAREFULLY) pull off the little wood cover behind the rear sight to see the barrel for that serial number and usually there is a date stamped there. You may find a date other than what is on the receiver wrist and that could mean it was rebarreled at one time. If the wrist is 1942 and the barrel is 1/47 then your front end was repaired and wood replaced when rebarreling happened. If the wrist date is 1942 and the barrel is 4/43 then its most likely the original barrel as there was a delay from receiver manufacture and installation of the barrel. These are examples so pls look under that wood and see any dates or serial numbers on the barrel. We can Identify more on your rifle when that is done.
Now : is there anywhere on the receiver a marking like R or FTR ??? What about on the butt stock: is there a R/date like R/44 as example?
JJCO did not stamp R or FTR, . I do not believe they put on any barrels and faked those stamps.
Let me go into an example of what I found on my JJCO Lithgow: 1941 dated receiver, bolt and receiver serial numbers match as does the nose cap. The barrel has one serial number that is different and then there is my serial number on it too and there is a 1/44 stamp which means it was rebarreled using a used barrel in Jan 1944 and they re serial numbered the used barrel to match the rifle. Now, it gets interesting: the wood butt stock is SLAZ 41 and the Forend wood is SLAZ 45 and no serial number on the fore end wood. The butt stock has two marks on it: R/44 and R/47. Those marks tell me it was repaired in 1944 (old barrel tossed out and used barrel put on it then) and the R.47 tells me that in 1947 they replaced the front wood with 1945 dated used wood that has a different serial number than the rifles receiver serial number. This is all normal depot level repairs and not JJCO funny business. The stamps all correspond to what I see on metal and wood repairs. All is good. What I like about it is this tells me this rifle shot so much(hopefully bad guys) from 1941 to 1943, then got a replacement barrel put on: went back out and shot bad guys again till end of WWII . Then in l 1947 it got replacement wood on front end. This is a WWII well used veteran rifle and I really like that aspect.
So pls get back with any marks on metal and wood for R or FTR stamps and any dates and info on the barrel like serial numbers .
The mystery has clues on that rifle to tell us what happened. Interesting stuff if you are into Lithgows !!!!!!
Pls email me at milprileb @aol.com so I can send you photos of what recoil blocks look like. I will info you on the email I send DOC today with that data and pictures. Standing by.// Skip
So far all the ser. no. match on the JJCO. The only number that is off is the one on tang under the striker. The no's that match is E 27*** The no under the striker X 27**. Also the butt stock has the SMLE stamp next to the tigger guard!
i made the recoil pads for my rifle from bits of scrap copper..they work great
One other thing about a real Lithhow and an assembled one is the the real one will have an assembly number on the receiver just to the right of the cocking piece and under the bolt handle. These numbers should match. The parts guns will not have the assembly numbers. I just checked mine to verify that the numbers do exist on the real ones and not on the parts guns.

Doc where I live and considering current prices, if I had the rifle you've described and wanted to sell it, I would value it at $300 to $400. And I would not care if it was a put-together rifle or parts rifle or whatever.
But that was just to answer your initial question. If I had that rifle, I would want to keep it and shoot it!
I bought two of the John Jovino rifles back in the early 90's and they were nice, almost like they just came from the factory. I sold one and kept the other to shoot. You have to be careful with the Coachwood stocks because they damage easily even with the recoil blocks. Now mine is a "Wall Hanger" but still the most beautiful looking Enfield I have ever had...
Thanks all for the help!
I plan on getting Light Ball Ammo, Accessories for the Enfield at the next Gun Show here in Phoenix. I have a Bud who has Gun Shop down the road
that will sell me 50 round Bandaleers with strippers in like new condition for $30 a wack! What is the right sling, leather or canvess? And "O" yes,
the recoil block is a must!
The Butt Stock has the right stamp on it!
A canvas sling is correct. The Australians actually used a good deal of Canadian manufactured web gear, so if you can find one with Canadian markings (a large "C" with a broad arrow in it), so much the better.
I am now on the Quest for the Enfield!!!
Any body knows of a place in the Phoenix area that would have accessories for the Enfield?
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Keynotes by Pam Warhurst promote the belief that the living different and promoting change and conversation can start in usual places. In particular, Warhurst discusses how her hometown of Todmorden turns all unused land plots into community vegetable gardens to promote tourism.
Currently, Warhurst is the Chair of the Board of Forestry Commission and the co-founder of 'Incredible Edible Todmodern,' a local initiative that promotes community gardens. Prior to this position, Warhurst was a member of the 'Board of Natural England' and the lead non-executive on the 'Countryside & Rights of Way' Bill. She also held the position of Deputy Chair and Acting Chair of the 'Countryside Agency' and chair of the 'National Countryside Access Forun.'
Due to her work promoting and encouraging community change, Warhurst was named a Fellow of the 'Royal Society of Arts & Manufacturing' and was named a 'Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire' (CBE) in 2005.
Advocating that everyone has the ability to promote change and enhance their community, the keynotes by Pam Warhurst offer means by which these goals can be achieved.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
By denying and totally refuting anything that Brian McNamee has said, Roger Clemens is challenging the very foundation of the Mitchell Report. McNamee provided a lot of information that became public from the Mitchell Report, including testimony about Roger Clemens, Chuck Knoblauch, and Andy Pettitte.
If McNamee is lying then the Mitchell Report loses a lot of credibility. If the Mitchell Report loses credibility, so does Major League Baseball. I hope Roger Clemens realizes that by challenging McNamee he is shaking MLB at its foundation. If Clemens is lying, he's doing a lot more damage than had to be done. If he came out and admitted it right away, saying that he had to compete with all the hitters taking steroids, then nothing of this magnitude would've come from the Mitchell Report.
Now if McNamee is the liar and Clemens is right, then MLB takes a serious PR hit. All the money and time invested in the Mitchell Report will appear to be a waste and they will probably have to launch a brand-new investigation. Why would McNamee lie about Clemens but tell the truth about Pettitte and Knoblauch? It just doesn't make sense to me.
I happened to like Roger Clemens a lot before this Congressional hearing, but had suspected steroid use for awhile. I agree that both stories have some inconsistencies, but there's one thing clear to me. Roger Clemens took steroids and was afraid of the consequences. The consequences of fighting a fight he cannot possibly win may be way more damaging to MLB than anything ever would be to Clemens' career or accomplishments. You don't care about the Hall of Fame, Roger? Sure doesn't sound like it…

Physical punishment and children
Physical punishment is only one form of discipline, and it works to inflict pain at the moment of negative behaviour, so creating an association between the behaviour and the pain. Physical punishment can include everything from a smack on the hand, through to whipping, punching, beating, and belting.
- Physical punishment can cause some children to experience feelings of anger and hurt so that they can no longer remember the reason they were punished.
- Physical punishment is often given out in the heat of the moment and allows the parent to momentarily lose control, so while a smack on the bottom is unlikely to injure a child, the act itself opens the door to the possibility of other physical punishments.
- Physical punishment can teach children that an acceptable way to solve problems is by using violence.
- The fear of physical punishment can encourage your child to lie and cheat to avoid the punishment.
- Children who are subjected to physical punishment themselves may tend towards bullying behaviour at school where they can inflict violence on other children.
- Physical punishment is unlikely to permanently stop the undesirable behaviour as this type of punishment doesn't offer any alternative ways of behaving.
- Physical punishment can cause some children to become withdrawn, anxious, isolated fearful, or rebellious.

!997 VW Jetta 2.0 lL. Kind of scary driving a car the intermittently moves to the right by itself. Any time you accelerate medium to hard the car will move intermittently mostly right. My son said that it also moves to the left. I haven't been able to duplicate that.
This car has been a mess since my son bought it. This is yet another odd problem. Any guesses?
Thanks, Scott

Managed by Bobby Bragan
Coaches: Ken Silvestri, Dixie Walker, Jo-Jo White and Whit Wyatt

Much has been discussed about the opportunity that exists in prepaid. But banks should also view prepaid as a potential threat. Failure to integrate it into their product mix could put overall bank business at risk. Do opportunities exist to use prepaid to protect existing bank revenue and curbing customer attrition? Given market conditions and shifting consumer attitudes, could this be the moment for prepaid? This session will provide attendees with practical information on how to identify opportunities for prepaid and execute viable prepaid programs. Attendees will leave the session with a firm grasp of:
- Why adding prepaid makes sense for banks and why the time to do so is now
- The risks of not executing a prepaid strategy
- The keys to successful implementation of prepaid products

Culture Unbound: An Investment in Discovery
"Even though we are in uncertain economic times, we ought to remember what was accomplished during even harder times," said University of Texas at Austin President William Powers in reference to the University's $3 billion capital campaign launched last October. "We should do what we can to ensure that UT continues to improve its facilities, and strengthen its endowments, so that future generations of students will experience what we have experienced at this great University."
The Ransom Center has taken up this call with a $15 million capital campaign of its own that will strengthen the Center and enhance the services it provides to students, scholars, and the public. The campaign will support critical areas of need and will enable the Center to continue to reach for excellence in its operations.
One priority of the campaign is to secure funds that support an outstanding schedule of exhibitions and programs. Through these offerings or events, the Center engages the public with its rich and extensive holdings. Audiences from around the world can experience the collections through web-based and traveling exhibitions and an international lending program to other museums. Exhibitions and collection materials have been displayed at museums and institutions throughout the United States and the world, from the Bowdoin College Museum of Art to the National Portrait Gallery in London.
Funds raised for exhibition sponsorship provide critical support for preparation, research, and the many technical and conservation needs associated with the display of rare materials. Support for programs bolsters the Center's commitment to bringing a diverse array of writers, artists, and scholars to campus for engaging lectures, readings, performances, and events.
A generous grant from the University Co-operative Society is a prime example of how campaign gifts can make a major impact. This grant enabled the Ransom Center to launch the Harry Ransom Lectures, a series of programs that, in its inaugural season, featured such distinguished speakers as Azar Nafisi, David Mamet, Ed Ruscha, and Barry Unsworth. In addition to delivering public lectures, these speakers met with students and faculty in classroom settings.
The campaign is also committed to enhancing the Center's curatorial excellence. As collections grow and evolve, it is essential that the Center nurture an exceptional curatorial staff that presents collection materials to audiences in insightful and meaningful ways. The Center will seek funds to endow curatorial positions in the Romance languages and photography and to support the work and professional development of all its curators.
The Center has long been recognized for its literary collections, but it is also home to one of the finest photography collections in the world. This collection captures and complements the great figures, events, and achievements represented in the literary collections. In order to elevate its photography programs and services to a level of quality equal to its collection, the Center will establish an endowment to support a new curatorial position in photography and increase support for photography departmental priorities, including acquisitions, publications in the new Ransom Center Photography Series, and programming. The Center has already raised $1 million toward this goal and is seeking matching funds.
The Center will raise funds to enhance conservation services for the photography collections and establish an endowment to support the work of a conservator. Moreover, to ensure the preservation of collection materials for generations to come, the Center will enhance its conservation services by purchasing and installing a cold storage unit to house and preserve its rare and fragile photographic negatives, color transparencies, motion picture film, and audio and magnetic tape materials.
The campaign will also seek funds to create an endowment to support the work of student interns, who will gain valuable experience in the technology services offered at a major humanities research center. Internships instill a spirit of new enthusiasm at the Center as interns bring knowledge of current trends, fresh thinking, and energetic assistance to the Ransom Center's programs and services.
Furthermore, to maintain its preeminence in collection development, the Center must continue to raise substantial funds for acquisitions. These funds enable the Center to act quickly when significant collections and archives become available, such as the African and African American literature collection and other recent acquisitions.
Capital campaigns require long-term planning and commitment. Working with Director Thomas F. Staley and the Center's staff on meeting the goals of the campaign are the dedicated members of the Ransom Center's Advisory Council, some of whom have been affiliated with the Center for a decade or longer. Co-chairs for the campaign are Lynne B. Bentsen of Houston and Thomas P. Borders of Austin. "We are fortunate to have a diverse council of enthusiastic, talented people who are dedicated to the ongoing mission of excellence at the Ransom Center," says Bentsen who has been on the Council since 2005. For a complete list and profiles of the Ransom Center's Advisory Council members see www.hrc.utexas.edu/contribute/advisory/
The campaign, which concludes in 2014, is already off to a strong start. The Center has raised 42 percent of its goal.
"We are deeply grateful for the support we have received," says Staley. "One of the Center's strengths is the diversity of its holdings and its broad view of culture. Through stewardship of these collections, the Center ensures that the rich materials that trace and reveal literary and artistic accomplishments across the centuries will be accessible for future generations. The campaign gifts we receive are an investment made by individuals, foundations, and companies who believe in our mission. With the wisdom and support of our donors, I am confident we will succeed."

How is Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease treated?
There is no cure for CMT, but physical therapy, occupational therapy, braces and other orthopedic devices, and even orthopedic surgery can help individuals cope with the disabling symptoms of the disease. In addition, pain-killing drugs can be prescribed for individuals who have severe pain.
Physical and occupational therapy, the preferred treatment for CMT, involves muscle strength training, muscle and ligament stretching, stamina training, and moderate aerobic exercise. Most therapists recommend a specialized treatment program designed with the approval of the person's physician to fit individual abilities and needs. Therapists also suggest entering into a treatment program early; muscle strengthening may delay or reduce muscle atrophy, so strength training is most useful if it begins before nerve degeneration and muscle weakness progress to the point of disability.
Stretching may prevent or reduce joint deformities that result from uneven muscle pull on bones. Exercises to help build stamina or increase endurance will help prevent the fatigue that results from performing everyday activities that require strength and mobility. Moderate aerobic activity can help to maintain cardiovascular fitness and overall health. Most therapists recommend low-impact or no-impact exercises, such as biking or swimming, rather than activities such as walking or jogging, which may put stress on fragile muscles and joints.
Many CMT patients require ankle braces and other orthopedic devices to maintain everyday mobility and prevent injury. Ankle braces can help prevent ankle sprains by providing support and stability during activities such as walking or climbing stairs. High-top shoes or boots can also provide support for weak ankles. Thumb splints can help with hand weakness and loss of fine motor skills. Assistive devices should be used before disability sets in because the devices may prevent muscle strain and reduce muscle weakening. Some individuals with CMT may decide to have orthopedic surgery to reverse foot and joint deformities.

Your Utility Company Can Shut Off Your Utilities
Posted: August 5, 2005
On most modern dairy farms today, dairy farmers are dependent on a continuous, reliable supply of electricity (and in a few cases natural gas) for the successful operation of the dairy farms. You need to be aware that Pennsylvania enacted a new law called "Responsible Utility Customer Protection Act (RUCPA)" that enables utility companies to shut off utility services under certain circumstances. The primary purpose of this new law -- enacted in December 2004 -- is to protect responsible, bill-paying customers from rate increases because some other customers choose not to pay their utility bills even though they can afford the expenses. This new law changes the rules that apply to cash deposits, termination of service, reconnection of service, and payment arrangements. This law applies to all customers on residential tariffs for electricity, natural gas and water from all investor-owned companies throughout the commonwealth.
Your utility service (electricity, gas or water) can be shut off by your utility company if you fail to do any one of the following:
- Pay your bill
- Follow through on payment arrangements
- Pay any required deposits
- Allow the company to access its equipment on your property
Your utility service can now be shut off even during the winter months (December 1 through March 31) if you fail to be a responsible utility customer as defined above and provided that your household's income level exceeds 250% of the federal poverty level. In 2005, that income level (before taxes) for a family of four persons is $48,375. During the winter months, the utility company will attempt to notify you first of their intention to terminate your service and allow you to make appropriate arrangements to avoid termination.
Your utility company will send you a notice ten days prior to shutting off any service. The company will attempt to contact you three days prior to the shut-off date. If the utility company cannot contact you during the winter months, a company representative will leave a 48-hour notice at your residence.
You can avoid the shut-off of any of your utilities if someone living in your home is certified as seriously ill by a licensed physician or nurse practitioner. You will be required to provide a letter from a licensed physician or nurse practitioner stating that shutting off the utility service will harm the ill person in the home. The initial medical certification can be for up to 30 days, with renewals possible for up to a total of 90 days. Please note, however, that you are still responsible for paying your utility bills even if there is a medical certificate for someone in your home.
Your utility service will be restored within 24 hours during the winter months after you pay the overdue bills and meet any other conditions specified by the utility company. During the months of April through November, your service will be restored within three to seven days after you pay the bill and meet other conditions. The amount you need to pay to have your service restored depends on your household income and payment history. If you have broken two or more prior payment arrangements, the utility company can require you to pay the full balance of your bill in order to have service restored. In addition, you may be required to pay a deposit and reconnection fees. Whenever your service is shut off, the utility company will leave a notice specifying what needs to be done to get your service restored.
The utility companies will work with you and explain programs that may help you, depending on your income or hardship situation. You can only establish one payment arrangement with either the utility company or the PA Public Utility Commission (PUC). However, the utility company may offer more than one payment arrangement option for you to select the preferred arrangement. For those customers who are already in a CAP (customer assistance program), the PUC cannot establish the payment arrangement if you fail to pay your monthly CAP payment. For this situation, the only time that the PUC or your utility company can set up a new payment arrangement for you is when you are experiencing severe circumstances such as loss of income, serious illness, major damage to residence, or increased number of dependents in a household.
You must recognize that a utility company can shut off your service at any time without giving you any advance notice for any of the following reasons:
- Stealing utility service
- Getting service through fraud
- Tampering with your utility meter
- Failing to maintaining safe service conditions
Even though you may be tempted at times to "pull the plug" on your electricity company and generate your own electricity, you must recognize that you cannot generate electricity at a lower price than what the utility company charges you in practically all cases. At today's prices for fuel oil to power a generator, the total cost to operate an on-site generator is about 15-18 cents per kWh. Furthermore, there is the safety concern involving the deadly carbon monoxide gas that is given off by the engine running the generator. There is also the issue of whether the electricity you generate has sufficiently high quality required for your computers and your equipment controlled by computers.
The health, comfort, safety, and overall well-being of all Pennsylvanians will be improved with the implementation of this Responsible Utility Customer Protection Act.
