Korea (KO) has developed and participated in the Test Blanket Module (TBM) program in the ITER, in which Ferritic Martensitic (FM) steel was used as the structural material for the TBM first wall (FW). To develop the fabrication method for the TBM FW and verify its integrity, a half-scale sub-module mock-up was fabricated and integrity test has been prepared; A dimension of it is a 444 mm height, 260 mm width, and 435 mm depth. A mock-up was assembled by HIPping of the previous fabricated components between the welded front and back plates, and then machining these plates to form the completed sub-module FW. To investigate the deformation of the cooling channels after the fabrication of the mock-up, neutron radiography was carried using neutron radiography facility. Pressure and He leak tests were successfully performed without any leak and failure. The flow rates in each channel were measured with the conventional ultrasonic sensor but it shows non-uniform flow distribution at each channel differently from the estimation by ANSYS-CFX. HHF test conditions were evaluated through the ANSYS-CFX analysis considering the above measured flow rates in each channel and it shows non-uniform temperature distribution of the FW mock-up. We will re-assemble or fabricate the manifold and perform the flow test before HHF test in the near future.

Interview with FreshStitches: Pittsburgh Knit and Crochet Festival
I am so excited to have a brief interview for you today with the terrific Stacey Trock of @FreshStitches.
I am so excited to have a brief interview for you today with the terrific Stacey Trock of @FreshStitches.
Crochet designer Andee Graves has a new Leisure Arts pattern booklet out called Texting Mitts. It's filled eight different patterns for fingerless gloves that you can use to stay stylish, warma nd still able to use all of the texting devices that require your fingers to be free.
Beth of Mumbles Mummy has been crocheting for about three years. She loves the idea of wrapping those she loves up in something warm. She now also makes custom items on request.
I've mentioned StrawberryCouture's Etsy shop in the past. Today we interview the designer behind the innovative styles.
Melissa of Missy B. Designs is here to tell us a little bit about her crochet life and to offer two really cute patterns (including one of your own choosing).
All throughout the past week I had a wonderful time doing a cross-blog crochet conversation with Sara of Mom With a Hook. I hope that you were able to follow along as we went back and forth from my blog to hers creating a conversation about crafting and many other things. If not, here's a summary of what we talked about and at the bottom of this post you'll find links to all ten of our posts in order to get the full story of what we said. Crochet Histories I always find it interesting to learn about how crocheters got started in the craft and what keeps them going in it. Sara shared that she started crocheting when she was pregnant because she wanted to make something for the baby. I shared that I started crocheting a few years ago when dealing with a serious bout of depression. This led to a conversation about our various experiences with depression (me) and bipolar (her) and how crochet has been healing for both of us when dealing with emotional situations. I believe that it's important to share these stories because it lets people know that they aren't alone in their tough times, that there's a way through to the other side and that crochet can be a huge part of that. Charity Crochet Sara also shared in her crochet history that she was happy to be able to use her skills to give back to others through charity crafting. She lost a baby in 1998 and one way she got through that was to start crocheting booties for moms who had lost babies (as well as blankets for pregnant women). This led to a really great conversation about crocheting for others and how that can be beneficial not only to the receiver but also to the person who is doing the crochet work. Crochet Fiction / Literature One of the lighter crochet topics that was really fun to talk about was our shared interest in reading more crochet fiction, literature and non-pattern non-fiction. Sara likes mysteries and was a fan of the first novel by Betty Hechtman (who has a crochet mystery series) but didn't find the others in the series too compelling. I wasn't as drawn in to Hechtman's books as I wish I had been. I did mention that there's another crochet mystery by Bendy Carter called Dying to Crochet that may be worth looking into although I haven't read it. We have both read and laughed along with Mary Beth Temple's collection of crochet essays titled Hooked for Life: Adventures of a Crochet Zealot and agree that there should be more humorous crochet writing like this. And I want to check out the new young adult novel called Yes, which I've mentioned on this blog in the past. Our 2012 Projects One of the main things that Sara and I talked about during this conversation was the different projects that we each have going on this year. Sara has some really cool things …
Day five of the wonderful crochet cross blog conversation that I've been immersed in this week. Hope you've enjoyed it!

Plushenko: Test Skate For Sochi Was Great
News Desk
Follow @ SportsTalkFLA
MOSCOW (AP) — Evgeny Plushenko says the skating test that could determine if he competes at the Sochi Olympics was a success.
Plushenko, whose three Olympic medals include the 2006 gold, is eager for a career-capping performance in his home country. But he had back surgery in the spring and since then competed only at a second-tier international event and the Russian nationals, where he finished behind Maxim Kovtun.
However, Kovtun's relative inexperience and fifth-place finish at the European Championships make many think Plushenko would be preferable for Russia's sole slot in Sochi.
Plushenko looked to make his case in a closed-door test skate on Tuesday. He told the R-Sport agency that it was "really great," including two quads and two triple axels.
The Russian skating federation is to announce its decision Thursday.

In this long awaited successor to his #1 national bestseller The Best and the Brightest, David Halberstam describes in fascinating human detail how the shadow of Cold War Vietnam still hangs over American foreign policy, and how domestic politics have determined our role as a world power.
Halberstam brilliantly evokes the internecine conflicts, the untrammeled egos, and the struggles for dominance among the key figures in the White House, the State department, and the military. He shows how the Vietnam war has shaped American politics and policy makers. Perhaps most notable is what happened under Clinton when, for the first time in fifty years, a president placed domestic issues over foreign policy.
With his uncanny ability to find the real story behind the headlines, Halberstam shows how current events in the Balkans and Somalia act as a fascinating mirror to American politics and foreign policy Sweeping in scope and impressive in its depth, War in a Time of Peace provides fascinating portraits of Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Kissinger, James Baker, Dick Cheney, Madeleine Albright, and others to reveal a stunning view of modern political America.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and the author of 17 books, David Halberstam has a gift for bringing current events alive and putting them into historical perspective in an engaging way. In many respects, War in a Time of Peace serves as a sequel to his classic The Best and the Brightest in its examination of how the lessons of Vietnam have influenced American foreign policy in the post-Cold War era. Beginning with the Persian Gulf War, Halberstam discusses the political shift in emphasis from foreign to domestic issues that ushered in the first Clinton administration. Despite the fact that Clinton, along with much of the country, preferred to focus on the home front, the U.S. nonetheless found itself drawn into conflicts in Haiti, Somalia, and the Balkans--events that reflected American discomfort with the use of its military forces abroad while at the same time acknowledging that much of the world is dependent upon the U.S. for both guidance and support. The book also highlights the many nonpolitical factors that have influenced these political changes, including a generational shift in national leadership, the modern media's emphasis on entertainment over foreign news, a leap in military technology, and American economic prosperity that has rendered foreign policy largely irrelevant to many citizens.
Halberstam is a master at presenting well-rounded portraits and telling anecdotes of the personalities that have created U.S. policy, casting new light on well-known figures such as Clinton, Colin Powell, and George H.W. Bush, as well as supporting players such as Anthony Lake, Richard Holbrooke, James Baker, Madeleine Albright, General Wesley Clark, Al Gore, and many other influential American leaders of the past decade. Having covered many aspects of American history and foreign policy since the early 1960s, Halberstam is uniquely qualified to report on an era in which the U.S., and the world, has changed so dramatically. --Shawn CarkonenAbout the Author:
David Halberstam is one of America's most distinguished journalists and historians. He graduated from Harvard in 1955, took his first job on the smallest daily in Mississippi, and then covered the early Civil Rights years for the Nashville Tennessean. He joined the New York Times in 1960, went overseas almost immediately, first to the Congo, and then to Vietnam. His early pessimistic dispatches from Vietnam won him the Pulitzer in 1964 at the age of 30. His last 12 books, starting with The Best and the Brightest, and including The Powers That Be, The Reckoning, and The Fifties, have all been national bestsellers.

Anopheles claviger and soon after they described the developmental stages of P. falciparum and P. vivax, two of the most important malaria parasite species.
A bitter debate surrounded the discovery that malaria parasites are transmitted by anopheline mosquitoes. Both Grassi and his co-workers, as well as Sir Ronald Ross, a British military doctor working in India, were doing research on the problem at the same time and were influenced by another British scientist, Patrick Manson, who stimulated the working hypothesis that mosquitoes were responsible for malaria transmission. Using avian malaria as a model, Ross was the first to demonstrate the cycle of malaria in mosquitoes. But it was the Italians who definitively documented that only Anopheles mosquitoes can transmit human malaria, and a classic monograph by Grassi in 1900 details the complete development cycle of the parasite in these mosquitoes. In 1902, Ross was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for his work on malaria.
Malaria remains a disease of tremendous concern to the military. Its debilitating effects can often do more damage than the enemy. In a major outbreak during World War I, for example, more than 100,000 British and French troops on the Macedonian front were sidelined. Responding to a 1916 order to attack, an exasperated French general sent a telegram to Paris complaining, "Mon armee est immobilisee dans les hopitaux." His army had malaria (Wenyon et al., 1921 quoted in Bruce-Chwatt, 1988).
In World War II, both Allied and Axis troops felt the effects of malaria. The U.S. Army alone recorded over 500,000 cases during the war; the Navy and Marine Corps recorded another 90,000 (Ognibene and Barrett, 1982; D. Robinette, Institute of Medicine, personal communication, 1991). "This will be a long war, if for every division I have facing the enemy, I must count on a second division in the hospital with malaria, and a third division convalescing from this debilitating disease," said General Douglas MacArthur from the Pacific theater (Russell et al., 1946).
Malaria had a major impact on the American war effort in Vietnam, especially at the beginning of the conflict. In late 1965, nearly 10 percent of soldiers had the disease. "During that period, rates for certain units operating in the Ia Drang valley were as high as 600 per 1,000 per year, and at least two maneuver battalions were rendered ineffective by malaria," General Spurgeon Neel reported in 1973 (Neel, 1973). Over 80,000 cases of malaria were diagnosed in American troops in Vietnam from 1965 to 1971. The overall mortality rate of 1.7 per 1,000 was low, however, because of rapid diagnosis and treatment of cases as they occurred (Canfield, 1972).

Muscle Mustangs & Fast FordsCar Reviews
2008 Boss 302 Trans Am Mustang - The Legend Lives On
Saleen Honors A Legendary Racer With A Mustang Worthy Of His Name.
Championship driver, race car manufacturer, and team owner are three occupations that define Dan Gurney's career. There are many more words that can describe the Long Island, New York born wheelman. Gurney started racing in 1955, and after he retired following the 1970 Trans Am race in Riverside, California, he went on to buy and continue to own All American Racers, a company started by Carroll Shelby's Shelby America.
Gurney's name carries with it a long and distinguished resume, both on road courses and oval tracks. For starters, only Gurney and Mario Andretti have won races in NASCAR, Indy Car, Grand Prix, and Sports Car, which in the '60s, were the four major categories of motorsports. He was a runner-up in the Indy 500 twice, and was the only United States driver to win a Grand Prix race in a car he built. During his 15-year racing career, Gurney amassed 51 wins, including victories at the 12 Hours of Sebring and the coveted 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Still, the one machine Mustang enthusiasts remember the most is Gurney's blue number 2 '69 Boss 302 Trans Am Mustang. Gurney took over the driving duties of the Shelby America-owned ponycar at the August 1969 Trans Am event in Laguna Seca from Horst Kwech. He went on to finish Third in that event. Following the '69 season, Gurney moved on and Shelby America stopped receiving factory support from Ford, but the image of Gurney slinging that Blue Boss 302 through the twisties lives on in the minds of many.
Fast forward to 2008, and once again, a Gurney car is on the road. No, it's not a total reincarnation of the original Trans Am Mustang, but one that bears the Saleen moniker and a close resemblance to the '69 racer. We are talking about the '08 Saleen Dan Gurney Edition H281SC Mustang.
To learn more about the special edition, we chatted with the man himself, Dan Gurney. We had the chance to talk about the car, how it compares to his old Trans Am, and more.
"It is a great feeling to have something like this, especially in an era where this car catches people's fancy," Gurney says. "Older people will really enjoy the nostalgia of the car, as it has a great deal of it."
With the Gurney car following on the heels of the '07 Parnelli Jones special edition Saleen, the company went a different route with the Gurney car, mostly due to the fact that Gurney himself had input on how the car would be setup in terms of the powerplant and the suspension. Unlike the Saleen PJ's supersized 302 naturally aspirated engine, the Gurney Saleen showcases a stock dimension 4.6L Three-Valve topped with a Saleen Series VI integrated twin-screw blower pumping in 5 psi of boost. Helping the engine breathe and create the 465 horsepower and 425 lb-ft of torque is a 98mm mass air meter, high-flow inlet tube, and airbox cover and filter. A set of 39-pound injectors increases the fuel volume, while the ECM has been reprogrammed with a Saleen-developed PowerFlash performance calibration. The mod mill exhales through a 2 1/2-inch stainless steel dual-exhaust system with nifty-looking charcoal dual aluminum tips that match up nicely to the color choices for the car, as well as the look given to the rims. The power is transferred to the 8.8-inch rear stocked with 3.73 gears.
"Many have asked why [we went with] the 281 supercharged motor and not the 302," says Carlos Duran, Saleen's Aftermarket Sales Manager. "First, Mr. Gurney wanted a car that was faster than Parnelli's. Second, he wanted a car that was affordable to the market, so the combination forced us to narrow things down to the 281. We ended up with a configuration that Mr. Gurney was happy with. I would say the buyer of this car is any real car enthusiast. We have had everyone in our company, from 20-something car designers to 40-something executives, raise their hands to get in line. Besides, you can never ignore Mr. Gurney's huge list of loyal fans."

While there is no dermatological definition for sensitive skin, the term is used to describe the skin condition of people who easily break out in rashes and get blotchy, itchy, or stinging skin in response to products or the weather. The majority of women don't have a serious skin problem, but rosacea, a skin disorder with facial flushing and red blotches, can make skin sensitive; so can eczema.
If you have this type of skin, do not:
- use soap and water to wash your skin
- suntan
- use coarse peelings
It is recommended that you do:
- use make-up remover or cleanser for sensitive skin
- use non-alcohol toner
- use nourishing – regenerating cream
- use eye and neck cream twice a day
- use face mask twice a week
- use creams with UVA and UVB filters
- protect your skin in winter against cold and wind.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by sarahkstjohn So adorable! Better in Person Love this little jacket. I purchased it from another store a few months ago. True to size. cropped-ish. Note: the sleeves are a "burnout" type color (sweatshirt knit material) and not rich like the pic. I actually like it in person much better. And the sweater part is very "natural" and not creamy white, but rather "manilla-y", for lack of a better description. At the sale price this is a steal for a really cute little sweater jacket. I am 5'6" and 115 lbs, slender, and got the S. I'd stick with your regular size and not size up, as it is a little broad shouldered, and short. 12.24.2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by stormehike Broad Street Sweater Jacket I LOVE this jacket and purchased it larger than I really needed because I liked it so much! The sleeves are like sweatshirt material and are perfect! The body of the jacket is lined boiled wool and is very nice except for the fact that the quality in the fabric is low being that it pills like crazy and has pill balls all over it and also on the inside of the sleeves where it rubs against the body of the jacket. I purchased this jacket on sale, and am grateful it was. It really looks terrible after one wearingâ¦. 1.11.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by TiffanyMichelle super cute I love the retro, preppy look of this. The material is dense, and thick, it will keep you warm. I think it runs a little bit small, especially in the bust, but it is well constructed, and a fun, preppy piece. 11.19.2013

Had to quickly move a server
Pref to turn off static
Add a River2 pref to turn off the static rendering. I want this for Admin on Houston. No one cares about his feed. It's a waste of time to keep building it.
Immediate static builds
We wait till the top of the minute to do static builds, but I don't like to wait that long.
Added code. Now waiting for a burn-in to see if anything broke.
Log links to static builds
Do a clean River2 install
Install OPML Editor. It updates itself. Go to the Prefs menu. Can't find a table called statictext.
http://newsriver.org/ -- couldn't open it -- this was an A-record to the server we just lost. Fixed the DNS.
River2 prefs need fixing
There are some sysop things in there.
Update command
With confirmation, update all open tools and opml.root, now.
I've been looking for a way to, at a user interface level, make it easy to get from River2 (for example) to the OPML Editor website menu. This isn't something a user needs to do, but the owner of the system needs to be able to do it.
I'm beginning to think that a simple link is the best way to go. Over on the right side of the menu, with the status information.

MSCOM have been working for a while to get their infrastructure completely virtualized. If you were at MMS 2008 and heard Bob Muglia's Keynote, you already know that MSDN.microsoft.com (MSDN) and TechNet.microsoft.com (TechNet) have been successfully running on Hyper-V. Late last week we provide more details of the project (PDF Version Included) and announced that basically both sites are now running on the Hyper-V technology.
We do eat our own dog food a lot with many technologies, but this one is pretty important from a customer perspective as is give some real numbers on perf and stability that many could understand.
We left the back-end database on physical boxes, but moved 100% of the IIS7 machines to Hyper-V RC0 VMs with 4 virtual CPUs and 10GB RAM. The virtualization hosts are powered by 2 Intel quad-core CPUs and 32GB RAM (2GB are reserved for the Windows Server 2008 parent partition).
The performance report after this migration is very interesting:

Qualcomm Life builds foundation for wireless health care
Rick Valencia heads subsidiary that aims to boost wireless technology in health care
So it is that same infrastructure — even though we sold Omnitracs recently — we still have the same infrastructure, the same people. We provide the infrastructure layer.
Q: Where will wireless health technology be used most?
A: Our focus is not in the hospital. It's not in the doctor's office. It is patients at home, patients in transition and patients on the move.
As a result of the cost of care being so high in acute care settings, there is a move to manage care as a much as possible remotely, to manage patients on an ongoing basis to help them stay well, as opposed to dealing with them only when they show up in the hospital. So that is what we are enabling.
Q: What must happen for wireless to catch on in health care?
A: What's happening already through Obamacare and through some changes at CMS (Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services) about how they will pay for care, we are moving from an environment of fee for service — where someone shows up, there's a billing code, you bill to that code and someone gets paid. It's a revenue opportunity. We're moving from that into an environment where it's capitated. It's a fixed amount per patient for a broad pool of patients.
If someone shows up, it is now a cost. It eats away at that total amount rather than being something you can bill on. There won't be billing codes forever.
What's interesting going forward is now that we're moving to this environment where it is capitated and it's a cost, (hospitals and doctor groups) can make choices about what to bring in that will help reduce the cost. They can make a choice to pay for something and not get reimbursed at all if they know that by paying for that, it is going to bring down the total cost of care.
We think with the advent of that, wireless solutions are going to be looked at more prominently.
Rick Valencia
Position: Vice president and general manager, Qualcomm Life.
Personal: Age, 51; a native San Diegan, Valencia has been married to his wife, Stacey, for 30 years and has two children.
Education: Bachelor's degree in business administration and finance, California State University Northridge.
Career: Founder and chief executive of ProfitLine, which grew to 200 employees and $35 million in revenue; later was chief executive of HCL Expense Management, a $50 million subsidiary of HCL Technologies; recipient of the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award.
Hobbies: Spending time with family, cycling, wine, skiing, supporting local entrepreneurs and nonprofit organizations.
New role: Valencia is a lifelong entrepreneur, so coming to work at Qualcomm is the first time he's had a boss since he was a teenager.

Whitworth Launching $50 Million Faith in the Future Campaign
Whitworth College today launched the most ambitious fund-raising campaign in the institution's 110-year history with a campus kick-off celebration and the announcement of three seven-figure gifts.
Hundreds of alumni, students, faculty, staff and college supporters gathered in Whitworth's Hixson Union Building to kick off the public phase of the $50 million Faith in the Future Campaign. Along with student testimonials, musical performances and video clips, Whitworth officials described the initiatives for academic excellence that will be funded by the campaign. In addition, President Bill Robinson announced three major new gifts that bring the total campaign funds committed to date to $32.7 million. The donations include a $3 million gift from longtime supporters who have requested to remain anonymous; $1 million from Karlyn and Charles Boppell, chair of Whitworth's board of trustees; and $1 million from the Spokane-based Comstock Foundation.
"Our goal in the Faith in the Future Campaign is to proclaim and to enhance the academic excellence of Whitworth College. The campaign will also seek funding to keep Whitworth's heart and mind education affordable to a broad range of students," Robinson says. "We look forward, over the course of the campaign, to building and deepening relationships with people who recognize the enduring value of a Whitworth education and want to join us in raising the institution to new heights."
The campaign comes at a time when Whitworth is riding a wave of successes. The college has enjoyed record rates of student enrollment and retention over the past five years while the academic quality of its students has risen steadily. The institution's financial position and endowment are stronger than ever and have enabled significant investments in the physical plant and academic program. And Robinson's leadership over the past six years has increased Whitworth's visibility in the community, the region and the nation.
"The campaign gives us the opportunity to connect or re-connect with a large number of people to tell them about the great things happening at Whitworth and to give them an opportunity to invest in the college's future," says campaign co-chair Harvey Bolton, a 1960 alumnus and member of the board of trustees. "Supporting Whitworth is investing in the lives of students who make a positive impact in the world, and there's simply no better investment anyone can make."
The primary focus of the Faith in the Future Campaign is to support Whitworth's faculty and students. Major initiatives include funding for endowed chairs and professorships to attract and keep top faculty, a new classroom building to complement Whitworth's distinctive curriculum, student scholarships, technology improvements, endowment funds to enhance financial stability, and increased annual giving to support ongoing operations.
"The top priority of the campaign is to improve our academic resources and facilities so they match the excellent quality of our faculty and students," says Tammy Reid, vice president for academic affairs and dean of the faculty. "For years, we have been delivering an education that alumni tell us has had a profound impact on their lives. Now we need to invest in new technology, first-class teaching spaces, innovative academic programs and faculty development to give the next generation of students a 21st-century Whitworth experience."
As President and Mrs. Clinton today host the White House Conference on Philanthropy, Whitworth celebrates the dozens of individuals and organizations that have made gifts and pledges in preparation for the kickoff of the public phase of the campaign. In addition to totaling 66 percent of the campaign goal, the gifts reflect Whitworth's desire to strengthen and widen the circle of people who value and support the college's mission.
"Karlyn and I are honored to join this campaign so the college can continue its upward trajectory and so other deserving students can begin their own Whitworth family traditions," says Charles Boppell, whose family has supported Whitworth for four generations. "There is no other college or university that balances academic rigor and Christian commitment in the way that Whitworth does. The Board of Trustees is convinced that this campaign will enable Whitworth to strengthen and enhance its ability to carry out that mission into the next century."

Looks great Ron. Yeah, you've gotta cut smaller BMF strips to avoid all that waste.
'57 Ford Custom (Finished, see it in Under Glass forum 3-7-13)
Posted 19 February 2013 - 08:37 AM
Posted 19 February 2013 - 09:16 AM
Looks excellent but you sure did waste a ton of BMF. I usually cut on the short side of the sheet into 1/4" wide strips. Walgreen's has makeup applicator qtips that come to a point on one end and rounded on the other. They're wound real tight and are perfect for burnishing BMF.
Posted 19 February 2013 - 09:30 AM
Thanks Richard and Jim. I have battled with this stuff for years and truly feel this has been my first success. I may have wasted it some due to my past experience in cutting pieces too small and later throwing damaged sheets away due to non use and poor storage habits. I want to use it up fast and get some more! Keep it fresh! Thanks for you comments....... Looking back at this one today, I am not bragging about the perfect finish on the BMF, by far but, probably my best to date. This could still turn into one of my rust-buckets. When I was installing the windows I got a little glue on the paint. #$@%^%$# This is what happens when I get too confident.

Looking good, sorry I missed the call for two-tone pics, but you've got it right now. Fairlanes and Customs are quite different cars. I've got a couple two-tone Custom pics on the other computer I'll post them when I can.
One tip I'd share with BMF is to color your knife blade with a Sharpie, it'll help with the snow blindness!
Posted 19 February 2013 - 04:33 PM
Looks great, Ron.
I'm still toying with what color to do mine in. I'm thinking two-tone gray just because you don't see it too much.

Here's a couple two-tone Customs showing the paint break lines.
Note that on the Tudor the paint break is the line between the fender and the door. On the Fordor it's the back of the trim.

Thanks Brett, I think I see what you are saying on the break at the door. I wasn't clear on that when I foiled over it. Thanks to you other guys for your comments also.
Posted 20 February 2013 - 09:53 AM
Ron, I would say you did a fine job on the BMF application! As I read pages 4 & 5, it struck me that perhaps the biggest obstacle you were facing was in your head. Soon you will be slappin' down the foil like butter on flapjacks. Can be awkward guestimating what size piece of foil to cut, huh?! I keep a little 6 inch ruler near the bench to help me out on that. Happy buildin'!
Posted 20 February 2013 - 10:07 AM
Looking Great! Foil turned out really nice!
Posted 20 February 2013 - 10:07 AM
Thanks Brett, I think I see what you are saying on the break at the door. I wasn't clear on that when I foiled over it. Thanks to you other guys for your comments also.
It's hard to see and nobody but me would ever notice. I've just been burying myself in research for when I do mine, it's always been a favorite of mine (My grandad once owned a 57 base model no frills Custom), and I love these low-end 2-door-post cars Revell's been giving us lately. One will be a supercharged F-code once the Nascar version with the rest of the supercharger parts shows up. The one I have now will be a gasser. Still very early and on the back burner, but I have grafted a T-bolt teardrop hood bulge onto it.
Posted 20 February 2013 - 10:29 AM
Thanks Jon and Dave, also Brett and good luck on yours I'm sure they will turn out fine and I can't wait to see them. Thanks for all your help so far and now, I may just have to do a little more paint work after reading your post. I still haven't dealt with the glue mess I made either.
Posted 20 February 2013 - 01:11 PM
Ron, nice progress. l also use larger pieces of foil due to my right had. l have had no issues with glue. l always foil after clear.....
Posted 20 February 2013 - 03:05 PM
Nice tip Carl, I'll have to remember that for the next one, thanks.
Posted 28 February 2013 - 04:00 PM
Brett, I got the two-tone fixed, thanks. It bothered me too much. Also got the glue off the paint thanks to a tip from Gregg, ( MCM issue173, page 18, although no clear used ). I made a mechanics fender cover just in case but, don't think I really need it, I kind of like it though.
Posted 28 February 2013 - 11:28 PM
Looking good, Ron. I'm just waiting on some rear tires before I move along some more on mine. I should have them early in the week, so I'm seeing if I can squeeze out a quickie build before they get here.
Posted 01 March 2013 - 07:55 AM
Thanks Gluhead, Some times I need a quickie build, trouble is most of the time they become just another iron in the fire. I'm jumping around on four different ones right now, just need to finish one and this one is getting close, I think. According to the instructions I have two more steps to go.
Posted 07 March 2013 - 08:29 AM

Watching you watching me
We are the most spied-upon nation in the world, with some of us caught on camera hundreds of times a
We are the most spied-upon nation in the world, with some of us caught on camera hundreds of times a
by Brendan O'Neill Published
Getting into the CCTV control centre for Westminster without an official escort would challenge even James Bond. As instructed, I arrive at the Coventry Street entrance to the Trocadero shopping centre in central London at 10.45am, and phone "a man called Robin". He sends his deputy, Daniel Brown, to meet me. Brown looks me up and down, checking me out. Wearing a dapper dark suit and striped shirt, and a lot of gel in his spiked hair, the 29-year-old CCTV operations co-ordinator looks more like a City trader than someone responsible for keeping a watchful eye over tens of thousands of Londoners every day.
He leads me around the corner to Wardour Street. We enter a dark and dank warehouse and negotiate our way past men making a mighty din as they fill metal cages with brown boxes of consumer stuff. We take a lift - which stinks - two floors down to the sub-basement. There, we walk through sub terranean concrete corridors, past industrial-sized dustbins emitting odours of rotting food, towards a pristine wooden door that seems out of place in this sewer-like setting. Brown taps in a code, and we walk through.
There's another door. We wait for the first one to lock behind us and then walk through the second. I can barely believe what I see next.
I am inside what can only be described as a bunker of spies. Deep beneath the Trocadero - where unsuspecting tourists are poring over maps of the city over coffee at Starbucks and bored teens are playing beat-'em-up arcade games - there is a state-of-the-art CCTV facility where men and women in suits watch the streets of London live on vast telescreens.
Brown and his team control 160 cameras, covering locations across the borough: the West End, Belgravia, the Golden Jubilee Bridges, Trafalgar Square, Knightsbridge and the full length of Oxford Street. The cameras are monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year - "Yep, even Christmas Day," says Brown.
The control centre is, bizarrely, registered as a charitable trust, and is funded by Westminster City Council, the Metropolitan Police and private businesses. Since becoming operational in 2002, the control room has recorded 24,000 "incidents", ranging from (in Brown's categories) "low-level" graffiti, fly-tipping and public urinating to "high-level" robbery, drug dealing and prostitution. It has also had 5,000 visitors from more than 30 countries whose governments or police forces are looking to adopt similar systems. Britain used to export textiles, iron, steel and pop music; now it exports Orwellian methods for monitoring the masses.
Brown pulls up a swivel-chair for me to sit on. "This touch-screen computer and this control stick allow me to access and control any one of our cameras," he says. He hits the blue button "Leicester Square" on the screen, and suddenly I have a perfect, bird's-eye view of the square and its strolling, love-struck couples and rushing pedestrians. He uses the control stick (exactly like the joysticks that came with Spectrum computers in the 1980s) to show that the camera can rotate 360 degrees sideways and 180 degrees up and down. It zooms in, too. I get a remarkable high-resolution close-up of a young man and woman in intimate conversation - students, perhaps, or young French tourists, maybe, she wearing a trendy red vest and he a white shirt. It feels wrong to be watching them from this underground bunker a few streets away.
"We look for signals, body language, anything out of the ordinary," says Brown. He pulls out a vast file marked Internal Tasking System, a manual for camera operators. It contains five or six photographs of each of the streets monitored by the 160 cameras. In every photo, there is a square red box. These are "areas of suspicion". So, in a snapshot of the entrance to the Chinawhite nightclub on Air Street (or "Air Street Camera Four", as Brown refers to it), there is a red box to indicate where vagrants sometimes sleep and another showing where ticket touts operate. There are hundreds of these photos, all laminated and neatly filed in folders. This is London reduced to an A to Z of suspicion, a collection of red-squared troubled spots where men, women and children must be monitored morning to night, every day of the year. My alarm must be apparent. "The way I see it, if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about," says Brown.
"Nothing to hide" has become the byword of the flourishing surveillance industry. Britain is the world's capital when it comes to closed-circuit television.
You're on camera
Throughout the country are an estimated five million CCTV cameras; that's one for every 12 citizens. We have more than 20 per cent of the world's CCTV cameras, which, considering that Britain occupies a tiny 0.2 per cent of the world's inhab itable land mass, is quite an achievement. The average Londoner going about his or her business may be monitored by 300 CCTV cameras a day. Roughly 1,800 cameras watch over London's railway stations and another 6,000 permanently peer at commuters on the Underground and London buses. In other major city centres, including Manchester and Edinburgh, residents can expect to be sighted on between roughly 50 and 100 cameras a day.
Besides the official cameras - such as those operated by Westminster City Council from the Trocadero basement - ever-growing numbers of private companies, banks, building societies, schools, community halls, leisure centres and private residences are using CCTV.
And the cameras are getting cleverer all the time. As well as filming and recording our every move (Westminster, for example, stores all footage for 31 days), some cameras now come with automatic number-plate recognition, facial recognition and even suspicious behaviour recognition. In 2003, "smart" software called Intelligence Pedestrian Surveillance was introduced. This analyses clusters and movements of pixels in CCTV footage in search of "behavioural oddities".
British scientists, backed by the Ministry of Defence and a £500,000 government grant, are developing cameras with "gait recognition". These will recognise whether people are walking suspiciously or strangely, and alert a human operator. Think of it as the Ministry of Unfunny Walks.
This past month, Middlesbrough became the first town to launch speaking CCTV cameras, which bark orders if they capture anyone dropping a crisp packet, for example, or behaving antisocially. In George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, what so tormented Winston Smith about the omnipresent telescreen was that not only did it watch, but it spoke.
How has this happened? How did Britain become, in the words of the Washington Post, "the world's premier surveillance society"? And why has there been so little protest about CCTV cameras? Britons, traditionally fierce in protecting their rights to be left alone by all authority, have been strangely co-operative in the face of an aggressive invasion of their privacy.
The Bulger effect
This acquiescence shocked European cinema-goers in May, when Andrea Arnold's Glasgow-based film Red Road was premièred. The film, which won the Prix du Jury at that month's Cannes Film Festival, tells the story of a CCTV operator coming face to face with the killer of her father.
CCTV in Britain spread rapidly during the 1990s, but had been around since the 1950s. In 1956, the police started to use cameras in one-man operations at traffic lights, in order to catch drivers running red lights. In 1960, the Metropolitan Police temporarily erected two cameras in Trafalgar Square to monitor the crowds during a public appearance by the Queen. By 1969, 14 police forces around the country were using CCTV, but there were still only 67 cameras in total. During the 1970s and 1980s, the retail sector started to become interested but, even as late as 1991, still only ten cities had open-street CCTV systems, and they were small-scale and locally funded. The turning point was the abduction and murder of James Bulger in 1993.
The infamous grainy CCTV image of the ten-year-olds Robert Thompson and Jon Venables leading the trusting toddler by the hand from a Liverpool shopping centre was broadcast around the nation, and subsequently the world. Video-grabs featured on the front page of every British paper. Into the subsequent public anxiety, exacerbated by a national moral panic about youth crime, the then home secretary, Michael Howard, announced a "City Challenge Competition" to allocate £2m of government money for open-street CCTV systems. The Home Office was overwhelmed by 480 applications. Post-Bulger, CCTV came to be regarded as a guard against crime, even something of a comfort blanket.
"People see these cameras as a kind of benevolent father, rather than as Big Brother," says Peter Fry, director of the CCTV User Group, a 600-member association of organisations - from local councils to universities - that use CCTV cameras.
The explosive growth of these surveillance systems since 1993 has transformed city centres and local communities. For some people, says Fry, the cameras have a "psychological" benefit, giving some comfort in their belief that they are being watched and protected. In Shoreditch, London, there is even a "socially inclusive" CCTV initiative, known as Digital Bridge, which allows the residents themselves to tune in to "community TV" and watch what is happening outside their front doors.
"People know the cameras can be helpful for solving crimes and keeping people safe," says Fry.
But are people right to believe that cameras are keeping them safer? According to Martin Gill, professor of criminology at the University of Leicester, they are not. He conducted a study for the Home Office of 14 surveillance systems around the country and found that, in general, the installation of cameras has very little impact on crime. In only one of the 14 areas could a drop in crime levels be linked to CCTV.
"The study showed that you cannot have a technical solution to the problem of crime," says Gill. "A camera can monitor things, but it cannot intervene and take decisive action, like a bobby on the beat."
Perhaps part of the reason the British seem to have welcomed surveillance, or at least have treated the rise and rise of CCTV with nonchalance, is that Britain was already becoming an intensely voyeuristic society. Not only are we being watched, we also watch each other. On reality television, for example, we watch members of the public eating, sleeping and even having sex.
Voyeurism is OK
Young people seem particularly unbothered by the idea of watching and being watched. They "vid-blog" their daily lives and post them on YouTube for millions of people around the world to see. They post details about their loves and losses on MySpace. They film themselves and their friends doing silly (and sometimes criminal) things on videophones and then text and e-mail the mini-films to others. So why would they care about being filmed and watched by strangers while walking down the street?
"There is a lot of voyeurism in popular culture, from En demol's appalling Big Brother to even recent Peugeot car TV adverts that celebrate CCTV surveillance," says Mark of Spy Blog (www.spy.org. uk/spyblog).
Sky TV shows a wide range of programmes about drunk Britain, hooligan Britain, out-of-control Britain, all of which rely largely on CCTV foot age of crimes, bust-ups, fully fledged fights and drunken collapses. Last year, Raw Cut, a production company working on an eight-part series about crime for Sky, offered to pay members of the public £500 for clips of robberies, shop thefts, drive-offs and drunken behaviour. In some of the footage shown on such Sky programmes, the young Saturday-night street fighters seem almost to be performing for the CCTV cameras, looking at the lens or positioning themselves precisely.
With such little opposition to 24-hour surveillance in all major cities and towns, the few who are taking a stand can feel very lonely indeed.
Stuart Waiton is a youth worker in the East Pollokshields area of Glasgow. When local authorities announced their plans to install six new high-tech cameras on the council estate where he lives - "a pretty nice and pretty quiet estate" - Waiton decided to launch a protest. It was very much a one-man campaign.
"Mostly, because there is this fairly irrational fear of crime and antisocial behaviour, people accept the need for CCTV," he says. He distributed an anti-CCTV leaflet locally that got some nods of agreement, but nothing more. Waiton thinks the worst thing about the cameras is the pernicious impact they have on the fabric of community life. They become a constant third party in our everyday lives, he says, which means we are all less likely to take responsibility for solving local problems. "People start deferring to the cameras, assuming that someone else is watching and keeping guard, so the cameras actually disempower people from deciding for themselves how problems and issues should be resolved."
Back at the control centre beneath the Trocadero, I start to feel uncomfortable watching other people. These are my fellow citizens; they are workers, mums pushing buggies, street cleaners, students. Yet, on the numerous TV screens, they become transformed into pixels of suspicion, individuals whose faces, even gaits, must be monitored by camera operators hidden underground. In essence, they are no longer free individuals; they are objects of suspicion.
Under the tyrannical gaze of today's CCTV, none of us is really free. Instead, we live in a permanent state of parole, where we must walk, talk and act in a certain way, or risk having our collars felt by a cop or council official alerted by the spies behind the cameras. It is time we took some action against these peeping Toms of officialdom, and told them to switch off their spycams.

Great support and comfort
By Prolific Peddler
from Arroyo Grande, Calif
I'm 73 years old and I ride 6000 miles a year. The softer parts of my anatomy have grown more sensitive as I age and the stiff, light weight saddles that come with the higher end bikes don't accommodate the older body. The slit in the Selle SMP TRK Mans Saddle is wide enough and long enough to mid agate pressure; the sit bones are on materials that are soft enough to allow for long rides yet stiff enough for peddling support; and the down curve of the saddle's nose allows easy egress and mount of the bike. I would recommend this saddle to anyone who loves long rides w/o the worry of saddle discomfort.

Must Try It To Believe It
By JD Of NSC
from Boston, MA
I build custom bikes and this is the most popular seat of the many I trial on people. The design is very unique and everyone notices how different it is from anything else. Many women prefer the men's version too over the ladies version as the ladies is too wide for some. It is critical to get the angle right to optimize the "cradle" effect you need to balance the pressures on you so play with that before you give up. Myself, I only use this saddle for road and mountain biking and works great for both. Like any saddle, it isn't right for everyone but so many people that have tried this saddle are in ecstasy the minute they try it and then never a problem on long rides.

Losi may not have been the first to enter the 1/8-scale buggy arena, but in recent years they have been one of the most dominant forces in the class. Hot off the heels of winning back-to-back-to-back ROAR National Titles, the 8IGHT-platform continues to be a potent competitor. Losi has taken the 8IGHT 2.0 winning formula, given it the RTR treatment and the result is the car before you now, the Losi 8IGHT 2.0 RTR. Taking a 1/8-scale buggy and making it an RTR is easy. All you need to do is slap in any engine, electronics and radio, and you're ready to run. While others may take this route, this is not the Losi way. Instead of just any off-the-shelf engine, the 8IGHT 2.0 RTR includes a competition-ready 350 engine. Instead of just any electronics, the 8IGHT 2.0 RTR includes genuine JR servos. And perhaps the coup d'état is in the included radio system. Instead of any old radio system, the 8IGHT 2.0 RTR includes what could be considered to be the best radio ever included with an RTR—a Spektrum DX3S telemetry-equipped radio system.With all this promise under the body, we were eager to see exactly what this buggy was capable of. The 8IGHT 2.0 has already proven what it can do in the hands of pro-drivers such as Mike Truhe, Billy Fischer and Adam Drake. Will the RTR version be able to keep pace and match the form of its full-race cousin in the hands of the average driver? We headed to the racetrack to answer just that question. Talk is cheap; let's open this one up to see exactly what it can do.
Speed Specs Vehicle: 8IGHT 2. RTRManufacturer: LosiPart Number: LOSB0084Vehicle Class/Type: 1/8 Scale BuggyTarget Audience: Backyard basher to intermediate-level casual racerKit/RTR/BND/Race Roller: RTR (as tested)
Test Items UsedLosi 30% Nitrotane Race Blend (LOSB0430)Losi Performance Battery Pack (LOSB9900)Losi Aluminum Glow Driver (LOSB5221)Losi 500cc Fuel Bottle (LOSB5201)
Final ThoughtsBefore hitting the track, I spent an afternoon breaking in and tuning the included Losi 350 engine. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy this engine was to start, how well it idled and also how well the break-in process went. The onboard Spektrum Telemetry also made breaking the engine in a snap, as I was able to easily monitor the engine's temperature without having to bring the car to a stop. I did set the temperature alarm to 265-degrees and it never reached that level once. For the most part, the 350 engine ran quite happily at between 200–235 degrees. After running 6 tanks of Losi 30% Nitrotane through the engine, it was sufficiently broken in and the carburetor was set. I was ready to let the 8IGHT 2.0 RTR eat.Top Speed/AccelerationOne trait of the entire 8IGHT series of vehicles, from the buggies to the truggies to the L8IGHT Model is that the 4-shoe clutch setup helps provide a smooth yet aggressive throttle response out of the hole. The 8IGHT 2.0 RTR continues this tradition, as I was never at a loss for acceleration with this car. I was able to blip the throttle to load the suspension and get over anything from the smallest to the largest jumps. On the high-end, the Losi 350 engine is a welcome surprise as it pulled strong and hard each and every time I got onto a straightaway.
JumpingI admit I've spent a lot of time lately driving Short Course trucks such as the Strike. That being said, I had adjusted my driving style to that type of vehicle. Driving a 1/8-scale buggy is dramatically different, especially once it leaves terra firma. With the stock spring preload settings the 8IGHT 2.0 RTR was very nose-heavy for the first few laps around the track. Like a slap to the side of my head, it hit me that I was staying on the power way too long and my inertia was pulling the rear of the car forward too much. I adjusted my approach and, as I did, I was rewarded with smoother takeoffs, level flights and near perfect landings. The dampening in the shocks felt pretty spot on, at most no more than perhaps one step on the soft side.
HandlingIt has been about two years since I have spent any significant time behind the wheel of a 1/8-scale buggy, that last car being the original 8IGHT RTR. Focusing more on 1/10-scale off-road, I had to re-acclimate myself to the throttle response of the bigger buggy, both on the ground, approaching jumps and in the air. It didn't take very long with the 8IGHT 2.0 RTR, as I found my comfort level relatively quickly. I had forgotten how much steering the original 8IGHT RTR had and the 8IGHT 2.0 RTR shares much of that trait. The difference between the two cars is that the newer version steers just as well without breaking the rear of the car loose. With the old car I always felt I was chasing the rear of the car from corner to corner to corner. If I could use one word to describe the handling of the 8IGHT 2.0 RTR out-of-the-box, I'd have to say "balanced," with a slight off-power push if you stayed on the brakes too long entering a corner.
Off-PowerAs I previously mentioned, the 8IGHT 2.0 RTR steers very well off-power but not at the cost of rear bite. I felt like the car had a little too much rear droop out of the box based on nothing more than watching how the rear wing would pop up when I pegged the brakes. I can't say that it was hurting performance or lap times, but it was a little odd feeling. I also noticed that getting off the brakes when entering a corner would make or break how the car would enter the corner. If the front wheels aren't rotating they won't provide any steering response. I could have played with the brake bias to change how the brake balance was mechanically, but I adjusted the brake throw via the radio to compensate instead.
On-PowerI was worried that the kit step pin tires had too tall of a lug to hook up properly on the hard-packed RJD track surface. I was pleasantly surprised when the 8IGHT 2.0 RTR hooked up and went from the word go with the stock tires. While the track itself was hard-packed, the top layer was extremely sandy and loose, perfect for the step pins. The car had great forward bite and stability on-power without a loss of stability or side control. This positive traction on-power also gave me confidence to approach jumps without having to worry about keeping my roll speed up. This is definitely a confidence-inspiring car.
Out-Of-The-Box SetupI've admitted before, and I will again here, that I tend to struggle when I run off-road. Being more of an on-road racer, I am more comfortable in higher bite conditions where traction is less of an issue. I also find the jumping aspect of off-road rather challenging. Sure, you figure that you just peg the throttle and get over an obstacle, how hard can it be, right? It's far more comprehensive than it may seem, as it's almost like things such as throttle, braking, loading the chassis, how I turn the wheels or even how I comb my hair all seem to have an effect on how my cars and trucks jump. Combine all those things with a box-stock RTR setup and, quite often, the results are less than stellar. But that's not the case with the 8IGHT 2.0 RTR.Having driven the original 8IGHT RTR and honestly struggling with how much steering that car had, I didn't know what to expect with this car. I tend to set my on-road cars up to have a lot of steering, which tends to be faster on high-bite tracks. For me, however, the 8IGHT RTR stepped over the razor's edge to the point of being more challenging to drive. With my previous experience, I didn't know what to expect from the 8IGHT 2.0 RTR. I knew that there was an emphasis on making this new car less edgy yet still retain the other positive handling characteristics that made the 8IGHT a National Champion. That is a difficult balance to reach, however, the 8IGHT 2.0 RTR hits it quite well. I'll say it now—this car loves to be jumped and it's totally controllable in the air. The stock shock oil and springs felt really good, not just for an RTR but for a race car. The weight placement felt spot on as the car felt the same going in either direction. I did feel like the car had a touch more steering with a full tank of fuel than later in the run, owing to the additional weight of the fuel due to the forward tank placement. As I mentioned in the video, Losi made an interesting move with the 8IGHT 2.0 RTR in their decision to develop a new 350-sized engine for use in this car. Many have said less is more, and that's particularly the case here. The original 8IGHT RTR's 427-sized engine was a beast in many ways, and often all that power simply translated to more wheel spin. I am always on the lookout, not for more power, but for more usable power. The Losi 350 engine in the 8IGHT 2.0 RTR nails it perfectly, combining great top-end speed with controllable bottom-end torque. The fact that this is an easy-to-tune engine is just a bonus. The Losi 350 engine is just a really nice powerplant.
The 8IGHT 2.0 RTR represents the refinement of a philosophy versus a complete departure. The 2.0 provides a smoother and easier to control platform while still retaining the positive traits of the original. Flat out, this car works—and it works on many levels. Combine the same basic features that, in the last 18-months, have won 2 ROAR national titles and TQ'ed the IFMAR Worlds and you know you have a winner on your hands. But what works as an all-out racer doesn't always translate well to the RTR world. This does. The 8IGHT 2.0 RTR also represents one of the best values you can get in an RTR. It's true that other 1/8-scale RTRs may include starter boxes. Still others include some very good engines. But there's not another single car out there that combines the included starter box with a potent engine and also includes a 2.4GHz telemetry-equipped radio system. If you're looking for a car that is just as at home on the race track as in the back yard or in an open lot, look no further than the 8IGHT 2.0 RTR. When it comes to 1/8-scale buggies, Losi clearly has done their homework. Class dismissed!

Most kids don't think a cuddly dog would ever hurt them, but the fact is about 4.7 million dog bites happen every year in the United States — and more than half of kids bitten are under age 14. Dog bites can be much more than an innocent little nip, and some require hospitalization or even surgery.
Teaching kids a few basic dog manners, though, will let them — and dogs — enjoy safer encounters.
Any breed of dog might bite. And just because a dog is small or seems friendly doesn't mean it can't do some damage. Even the nicest, most well-trained family dog may snap if it's startled, scared, threatened, agitated, angry, or hungry.
No matter how well you think you know the dog, always supervise your kids around someone else's pet. To reduce the risk of bites, teach kids these safety guidelines:
A lot of the responsibility for preventing dog bites falls on the owner's shoulders. Before getting a dog, talk to a professional (such as a veterinarian or reputable breeder or pet shelter) to discuss what type of dog or breed is best for your household. Ask questions about the dog's temperament and health. A dog with a history of aggression is not suitable for a household with kids.
If your family has a dog, make sure it gets all required immunizations and regular vet checkups. Also, have it spayed or neutered. Consider taking your dog to obedience school to make it more social and obedient, and thus less likely to bite someone.
When you take your dog out in public, always keep it on a leash so you can be in control if its behavior gets out of hand. If you have kids, closely supervise them when they're around the dog and never leave an infant or toddler alone with your pet.
Even if you don't own a dog, make sure that your kids understand some "nevers" about being around dogs:
If your child is bitten by a dog, contact your doctor, particularly if the dog is not yours. Some dog bites need to be treated in an emergency department. The force of a dog's bite can actually result in a fracture (broken bone). Some dog bites can seem minor on the surface but can cause deeper injuries to muscle, bone, nerves and tendons.
While rare, rabies and other kinds of infections from dogs like bacterial infections can occur and should be treated as quickly as possible. Always be sure to ask your doctor if your child needs antibiotics to prevent a dog bite from becoming infected. Not all cuts (lacerations) due to dog bites are stitched because this type of repair can increase the risk of infection. Your doctor will decide which lacerations should be stitched.
Try to have the following information available to help the doctor determine the risk of infection and what kind of treatment, if any, your child needs:
