The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
So about three days ago I was playing some disc golf with three other people. One of those people was a friend of mine who also sells discs. Anyway, he walks up and digs a disc out of the snow and says, "It's a Lemon Lake Katana and it doesn't have any name on it." So I think that he wants to keep it. I tell him, "Let me see it." I look at it and there is a name on it in faint green marker (on a light blue disc). I start calling the number so he gets mad and throws the disc towards the creek. I am astounded. He has been a disc golfer for a long time and he is acting like a child because now he doesn't get to keep that disc. So I bow out of the group for a couple of holes and go locate the disc. I then go to my car and call the guy who is very grateful to know that his disc has been found. I finish the rest of the round with those players (I missed playing three holes). Later he tells me that I should just "Keep out of his fu$king business". I tell him that the guy was very happy to get the disc back and that he even gave me $5. The next day I let him know that but he just explodes, pulls a tray of old discs out of his car and yells that I should call all of these people as well. I say that was not what this was about. It was about one disc being found and then making zero effort to get it back to its owner. All that he had to do was hand that disc to me and I would have returned it, which I did anyway. I even played some holes with him and a couple other guys on that day and nothing more was said.
Fast forward to today when he rolls down his window before league to give me a fake apology and then say "Stay out of my fu$king business." I say that is not an apology and that he of all people should know that you call someone when you find a disc. He is being a hypocrite. So then he fires a sidearm at me from about forty feet away and hurts my arm pretty bad. I now have a pretty bad shooting pain in my throwing arm that goes all of the way from the wrist to the elbow. We almost came to blows but I turned and walked away. The ironic thing about all of this is that we got paired up as doubles partners. I refused to talk with him, acknowledge him or even pick up any of his discs. Our friendship is over and I will no longer pick his daughter up from school so that he can stay at the course and sell discs. I am not being vindictive, I only realize that I don't need friends like that. He showed his true colors, that he is all about himself and being nice to people is a front just so that he can sell discs to people.
Sorry about the long vent but this whole situation could have been avoided. I would have gladly taken that disc and returned it in the first place (which I did) and he didn't have to be involved. He only got mad because he wanted to keep that disc and I called him out on it. Now I will have to see how long it takes for my throwing arm to get back to normal.

It sounds like Summers Eve should hire this guy to head up the research department for the Super Douche.
I honestly can't believe that happened today. We have been friends for a long time and I was ready to just let it go. I called him a hypocrite because of his actions but I never expected him to pull the $hit that he did today. We have been friends for a long time and both of us have been involved in course maintenance. But it is inexcusable what he did and his failure to take responsibility really irks me. You hate to lose a friend but when someone assaults you with a disc I guess that he deserves what he gets. I never have gotten in the way of him doing business. But I will find somewhere else to buy my discs now and I will recommend that others do not buy from him as well. I simply have no use for people like that in my life.
Wow, not a good situation at all. I hate when stuff like that goes down between people...sounds like there is a lot going on in his life behind the scenes, but that does not justify his behavior at all.
I have only been playing this sport three months, have lost a number of discs, and have gotten all but one back. And, I don't think just because I am new and not a rich man that each loss has been painful...but, the losses have been. I am already getting quite attached to my discs and take great pains to put my name and cell on them. I think it goes without saying that if someone takes the time to put their info on a disc, that if another player finds it, they should call that person...to keep it feels like stealing...plain and simple.
Hope this guy is a rarity in this sport...and if he is not, we need to do more to correct this.
There are a lot of good people in this sport.
But the weight of the few bad apples is heavy.
If you really got hurt, you should have called the cops.
If I am not mistaken, that is "Assualt".
After all you stated "Shooting pain".
Talking to others about his actions may hurt his business for a while,
but there'll be others who buy later on.
He should be held responsible and accountable for his childess behavior.
You know, I thought about calling the cops, but only a little while after all this had gone down. It was definitely assault. Anyway, I went home after the round and popped some ibuprofen. I will see how I feel tomorrow. It also sucks to have to get the cops involved.
It seems to me that his attitude is that he shouldn't be required to call people simply because he gets so many discs ( a lot of discs get turned in to him when found). However, his callous attitude really made me angry. He even told a friend of mine that he was going to call the guy later which is ridiculous considering the fact that he chucked the disc towards the creek. I am going to see if I can get a few discs from someone else locally who he really hates. That will steam him up. It would be even better if I could get a hold of his rival and sell some discs for him. That would make him blow his lid. Anyway, he will in the end get what is coming his way and I will go on and deal with those people who I know are my true friends.
I can't dwell on this but things have definitely changed. A crazy way to start the new year for sure.
This guy is an asshole. What he did constitutes assault with a deadly weapon or at the very least aggravated assault with intent to commit great bodily harm. Not only would I call the cops, I would call code enforcement and have the guy busted for conducting a business without a business license. While the cops are hassling him, place pebbles in his valve stems and replace the caps so the air will be let out of all four tires and the spare if you can. While he's waiting for the tow truck, go to his house and burn it to the ground.
LOL. Well I don't think that I will be doing any of that stuff. He does have a business license BTW. But you are correct, he is an asshole for behaving in such a childish manner. It always amazes me how people can let such small things get in the way of sane thinking. It also sucks when drama gets in the way of disc golf.
On one hole he missed a putt and I just went over to my bag and pulled the first disc I had my hand on (Lemon Lake Katana) and sunk the putt. That felt great. I really didn't care too much about winning but it was fun to make a few good shots despite the pain. It felt good to not give a $hit and still show him up on a few holes. I think that in the end he just looked stupid and everyone knew it. Tomorrow i just might have to go park where he likes to park. Right now it's game on. If he tries to pull any crap again I will call the cops.
I would let it go, actually. I wouldn't do anything to egg him on. You have already made your point. If you start egging him on, than you lose your righteous leg to stand on. The best thing to do with people who cause sh*& is to avoid them.
And, if you truly are no longer friends, then he owes you nothing and you owe him nothing. Move on with your life. Don't give people like him any more space in your head or life than is necessary.
You are right. I woke up this morning and the wrist is tight (maybe a bit swollen). At the same time I am going to continue to let others know what he did. He needs to know that he can not intimidate me or anyone else. I don't really want to egg him on but I refuse to be treated like that. I will be purchasing some new discs today and it won't be from him. I have also stopped giving his daughter rides home from school (which allows him to stay at the course). I also used to buy snacks from him but will now just purchase those down the street. As parents are keen to point out, actions have consequences.
You're cool and he's not, oh and quit playing doubles so much, they seem to attract the worst people in your area.
I went up to the course today and it was pretty much a non-event. He was there, chatting up everyone and trying to act like the nicest person in the world. I just ignored him but still let others know what happened. I think that it is his arrogance that really gets to me, the way that he acts like the rest of us are just beneath him. And the strangest thing is that we both have a bunch of mutual friends so it is a bit awkward. No big deal. I will roll with the punches. Played some skins and was really playing well and won money. I think that this whole thing just really made me think about things and just have more faith in myself. I can't control other people and their actions. I don't agree with what he did and I already made that point to him. So it is time to move on and not look back. I also found a couple of good discs from his rival (who I think is a decent person).
Thread is getting closed because I already vented and there is nothing else to say except "Carpe Diem". I plan on showing him the way things are by beating him a few times on the course. We'll see.

Dispatches from live performance in frigid New York
THEATER New York early last week was as cold as Muazzez. True, I've never been to Muazzez, but a reputable source called that asteroid "so cold it is a frozen bull roar," which sounds about right.
"They lied to me about the reality of things here on Muazzez," began said source, a nondescript speaker seated at a bare wood desk. "About the foundations of these, their basis, their fundament, the profound bottom of things."
There's a glass of water on the desk, some loose paper.
"I am an Abandoned Cigar Factory (or ACF)," he goes on to explain, "groaning in the dunes near the settlement of Culpepper."
The unexpected narrator at the bare wood desk sat in a bare white room, with the incongruous name of the Chocolate Factory (in fact, a terrific theater in Long Island City). The play, called Muazzez, originated as a collection of short stories (all set on asteroids) by Mac Wellman, a writer better known as a playwright and a leading light of the American experimental scene (and a prolific one too, despite receiving few productions in the Bay Area).
Performed with a forthright, faintly odd, wholly captivating precision by longtime collaborator Steve Mellor, Muazzez (directed by Wellman) is an intoxicating and deceptively subdued flight of language and weirdness whose cumulative power, over the course of its brisk 40 minutes, is hard to describe and harder to shake off. Its surface meanings can seem strange, obscure, dryly amusing, even piffling — still, there are things shifting down below in some grim molten core. It was a feeling similar to that produced by one of James Tate's poems.
Muazzez set the tone well. Expecting the unexpected became second nature over the course of last week's sampling of shows from PS 122's COIL (which presented Muazzez), as well as from the Public Theater's Under the Radar, and Ben Pryor's American Realness — all together just three (!) of the lively and significant New York festivals that now swirl each January around the annual meeting of the Association of Performing Arts Presenters (or "A-PAP," as it's usually pronounced).
Bees are in short supply these days, so better to say the presenting industry's international confab is a kind of honey pot attracting bears in the performing arts world, by which we mean the artists wrapped in faux fur coats and puffy jackets against the bracing, angry wind and plummeting temperatures of last week's "arctic blast" (itself just another signal from the larger natural order of things that humanity is wildly off course — or right on target, I guess, depending on your end goal.)
This context heightened the urgency folded into Muazzez's extraterrestrial transmission. And there were other, comparable transmissions, including one from the future, articulated in the person and voice of TV's Captain Kirk. Co-presented by COIL and the New Ohio Theatre, An Evening with William Shatner Asterisk takes place on a stage inhabited by a central flat screen TV on wheels and two larger screens on either side. Onto the center screen comes the iconic image of TV's starship commander and over-actor par excellence.

Kim Kardashian in Givenchy by Ricardo Tisci at the Met Gala. (Larry Busacca/Getty Images)
This year, however, that pre-gala period had a black cloud hanging over it as the unthinkable was announced: Kim Kardashian would be attending this year's event.
That's right. The much-maligned reality star somehow landed an invitation to the fashion world's biggest night, where A-listers like Gwyneth Paltrow and Katie Holmes rub elbows with fabled designers -- from Diane Von Furstenberg to Vivienne Westwood and Vera Wang -- and fashion plates like Sarah Jessica Parker and Blake Lively.
The mom-to-be hit the red carpet Monday night with her baby daddy Kanye West, and while "Punk: Chaos to Couture" was the theme for the evening, it looked like Kardashian had mistakenly thought it was "gardening."
The 31-year-old donned a head-to-toe floral patterned Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci gown. And we mean head-to-toe. The dress featured long sleeves, a high slit, a high neck, gloves, and even shoes in the same pattern. The fitted frock also prominently showed off her baby bump.

And no, she never went through a punk phase. "I really didn't. That's why I think Riccardo's vision of punk for me is the subtle version."
Her main squeeze also went with a Tisci ensemble, though he kept things quite a bit simpler in his black suit and plain white dress shirt.
Inside the Met Ball where West performed, he told his girlfriend in front of the A-List crowd to ignore the haters. "You're so awesome," he rapped while looking at Kardashian.
West, 35, attended the event last year, but his girlfriend was noticeably absent from his arm and rumors swirled that Vogue editor-in-chief and gala co-host Anna Wintour had banned the reality star.
Oh, how times have changed. This year Kardashian not only made the star-studded guest list, she was also invited to dine with West at Wintour's Manhattan home the night before. (Yes, really!)
As for how Kardashian wound up receiving the royal treatment this time around, some have speculated that Tisci, one of the evening's co-hosts called in the favor since he's close with West.
Kim, you owe him one.

The most seamless handling of zip files I've seen was by Zipmagic (not too sure what's become of the product... )
- they had something called ZipFolders.
Append .zip to a folder name and it gets compressed into a zip file.
Click on a zip file and it opens in Windows Explorer, just as a folder would.
Wonder why that didn't catch on or get built right into Windows Explorer... I'd love for a utility to handle .rar files that way.

For my birthday, my master had said we would be going out to a restaurant, to celebrate in style. When that evening came, I put on the dress my master had selected for me. A long black cocktail dress, with a bare back accross which ran six rows of small-linked silver chains. The cut was low enough that it showed the very beginning of my buttocks. That, and the feeling of the chains accross my back, was very erotic. Of course I was wearing my collar – I never take it off anymore. That, and a pair of black hi-heel shoes, clasped at the ankle and locked in place by a tiny silver lock. All in all, quite the submissive, in style as advertised. Master had put on a suit, of dark grey, on a deep blue silk shirt. He likes the dark colors.
When I was done getting ready, we went out. A limousine was waiting outside our building. The driver saw us, opened the door and let us in. He then got inside and began to drive.
There was a minibar in the car, with a bottle of champagne. Master took the bottle, began opening it. Once the cork popped-out, he pourde two glasses, put the bottle down and told me to strip. I cast a nervous glance towards the driver. The partition was down, meaning he could see but not hear. I proceeded to taking off my dress, and laid it down on the seats nearest to the driver.
I saw him look at me in the rearview mirror, and smile an appreciative smile. Then he pressed a button on the dashbord, and the partition came up. My master and I were alone.
He told me to come back to him on my hands and knees, and I did. He handed me a gla of champagne, and stroked my hair while he drank.
— You are a good slut, you know. I am very happy of the way your training turned out.
— Thank you, Master.
— I was not sure how you would react to being exposed to other people, paraded or even lent, but you seem to have fun with everything I make you do.
— Yes, Master. I would not have thought so either, actually, I never would have suspected.
— Well, for your birthday, I thought of something in between. It's a surprise I have been waiting to give you. But we have some time before getting there. I wanted the mood to be right, first. Stay on all four, and turn around.
I did. My back was to him, so I did not him raise his hand to slap my butt. But he slapped it, and hard. I yelped, and immediately groaned as I felt a familiar heat radiate in my belly. Again and again, he slapped my ass. Then, I felt a pressure agains my anus, and felt a rosebud slide into me. It was big, heavier than the one he usually used.
— That alos is new, for your birthday. It has a black semi-precious stone at the end, and sets your cheeks aparts slightly so that I can see it right. You're beautiful.
I moaned and stetched my butt towards my master a bit, aroused and moved by his words. He then slapped my ass a few more times, then let his hand slide between my thighs. The touch of his fingers made me gasp, and I grinded my hips a little, pressed myself against his hand. I heard a mechanical whisper in front of me, a bit above, and raised my head to see the skyroof slide open. The warm evening air carressed my body and made me shiver.
— Go stand in the skyroof, my master said.
I crawled beneath it and stood. I had thought only my head would be outside, but my breasts were actually a bit above the roof.
— Massage your tits, I heard my master say from within. Keep your eyes open.
I lifted my hands and started fondling myself, pinching my nipples, pulling on them a little. All the while, I could see cars around us, as we were driving through the streets. People on the sidewalk. It was late already, but not quite dark since it is summer. Anyone whod turned his or her head towards the limo was sure to see me. And many did. The attention, the look of surprise on people's face, the look of lust on many a man's face – none of whom bothered to look at my face, I was a pair of boobs on wheels to them – was beginning to make me horny. If the only knew I was naked below too…
— Nathalie, sit.
I immediately stopped and came to sit, or rather kneel, at my master's feet. I as very much aroused, and I am sure he saw it the way I was looking at him.
— See that stool ? Stand on it to sit on the roof next time the car stops. Sit on the roof, legs inside the car, and masturbate. Of course, you can't come.
Oh my god ! Everybody would see me, at my sluttiest! Sitting naked on a car, masturbating as I was driven around. All the while, I was sure my master was observing the people around the car, and seeing what attention I was getting. Soon enough, the car stopped, probably at a red light. I promptly did as my master had asked. Up on the warm metal roof, thighs apart, I begin slipping a finger between my labia, already apart and eager to be touched. There is a bus along our car. I gasp at the faces watching me. I felt shame rush me as I realized I had almost come. I continued fingering my clit, flicking it up and down, rubbing it, while savoring the attention this slut was getting, all to please her master.
The car was a long time starting again, and then we lost the bus, but other people saw me go by. I could not say how long I stayed up there. Minutes, five, fifteen, thirty? Really, I don't know. I know I felt my wetness run on my thighs, drench them, I knowmy pussy was throbbing so bad I felt it like bass on a dance floor. I heard catcalls from men, invitations, suggestions, insults. I loved them all. I heard orse from some women, and got the most wonderful smiles from them too.
After a while, my master called me back in. I dropped back inside the car and knelt at his feet. The touch of my high-heels against my labia sent a shiver through my body, but still I managed not to come. I think I was moaning aloud with each breath, though.
— We are almost there, bitch. Get dressed again.
I was buzzing, litterally buzzing with arousal, I could hear the blood pulse in mye ars at each heartbeat. I gathered my dress from the floor, and put it back on.
Soon enough, the car stopped. The driver came round to open the door, and we got off. Master told him to wait at the parking, and he would be called when we left. The driver nodded.
We had stopped in front of the entrance of a restaurant. I had a vague idea where we were, but it seemed a quiet neighbourhood. From inside, someone opned the door for us. Master said we had a table booked for two, under my name.
— Indeed, sir, you have. If you care to follow me…
Master did, and I started after him. But master turned around and told me to wait there. I was surprised, but I did. I watched him go through another door, and could not see him anymore.
A few minutes later, a womand emerged from a side door.
— Nathalie ?
— Y…yes ?
— Please follow me.
She started through the same door she had just came in from. I went after her.
— Do you know where you are?, she asked.
— No… At a restaurant, I think.
— Yes. Your master did not tell you what kind of a restaurant, then.
My master. She had called him my master. She knew. She knew… and did not seem surprised in the least. That was a concept, or a lifestyle, she was used to. I understood then that since I had been brought here by my master, I was to obey what I would be told to do.
— Very well, Nathalie. This is a restaurant for people like your master. People who like to use other people. It is your presence that is unusual. But there, llok for yourself.
In the short corridor we had been walking in, we had come to a sort of window, or rather – by the colour of it – a one-way mirror. I could see the dining room. At first, nothing seemed unusual. An elegant setting, a chandelier on the ceiling, fine plates and cutlery, smartly dressed people… well, smartly dressed men, more like it. And then I sawit. Under the tables. In front of every man, there was a more or less naked woman, kneeling between his feet. Some were sitting on their heels, others… well, the others must have been busy sucking their customer. From the ones kneeling back, I could see a metal collar, and a chain linking them to the diner's seat.
— Yes, now you see. But usually, patrons come here and enjoy one of our girls' attention. Your master never does. He brings other people, who use our specialty, but he doesn't. And today, he requested that you service him while he eats.
I felt my stomach clench. I was to be tied between my master's legs and suc khis cock while he ate, in a restaurant ? Another glance confirmed what I tought : all the tables were placed so that patrons could watch the girls being used under the tables.
So, that was my surprise. I turned to the woman.
— OK, I understand. Well, how does it work ?
— First, you come with me, and we outfit you. Obviously, you cannot go in that dress of yours.
— Let's go, then. Let's not make master wait.
She led me to a small vestibule with all sorts of clothes and items hung from the walls and on tow racks. I chose a simple leather harness the basically enhanced the fact that I was nude. After putting it on, I watched the woman – who had not left hte entire time – and said:
— Pardon me, but am I allowed a request?
— Yes, yes, tell me.
— If you have a small grease pen, I would like you to write something on my back.
— Like what?
— « Nathalie, property of Master C… » I would like everybody to know that this is not what I do, it's what I am.
She smiled.
— Not a problem. Turn around, and I'll write that.
I felt the tip of a pen on my skin, and a few secondes later, she said she was done.
She then told me to get on all four, tied a chain to my collar, and opened a door onto the dining room.
— Walk with your head high. Let them look you in the eye.
The people next to me and whom I passed on my way to the table turned their heads, watched me crawl on the floor to where I would be used. I was some look me in the eye and hold down the head of whoever was sucking them. One of them mouthed some dirty words while looking at me, and I saw the girl between his thighs drool cum in a cup next to his feet.
Inally, I arrived at my master's table. The woman handed him my chain, on which he pulled until I was positionned between his feet, head near his crotch.
My master looked me in the eye with love, fastned the chain so I could only move back a little, and said :
— Happy birthday, whore. Take out my cock and suck it.
I did, and kept at it all thgouh his meal. He told me afterwards I had spent an hour and a half with his cock in my mouth, without ever letting it out completely. I managed to make him cum twice, and each time he had me kneel back and let the cum drool on my breast. I kno by the end, I was madly aroused. In the beginning, I had caught other people watching me suck my master off, slowly, tenderly, with all the love I could put in those movements. But soon, they didn't matter anymore, only my master's member in my mouth.
I was drunkon this, the servitude, the willing humiliation of me, the way I was used as another entertainment to go with fine wine and food.
After his coffee, master stood up and left, presumably to pay. The woman came back to fetch me. Still on all four, I crossed the dining room again, fresh cum sticky and wet on my breast. She led me to the small room I had « dressed » in, and told me I could stand a few minutes. I did, happy to feel the pressure off my knees. But soon, whe told me to get back on all four again, and said I was to be returned to my master. She went behind me, told me to spread my knees. When I did, I felt something press on my labia. I felt the dildo slide inside me with almost no resistance at all, and felt the woman rearrange the two straps on the harness so that it would remain inside me. With a « click », she turne dit on, and I felt vibrations pulse though my womb. The feeling was incredible.
She opened the door on the room again, and led me to the door where my master was waiting. I was lost in the wolrd that was my womb, and the waves going crescendo in my pussy. Walking with a dildo inside me is always a strong experience, and even more so on all four. Seing my master, I was reminded that we were in a public place, and I imagined I could feel all the diner's eyes ont my pussy filled with this toy. It made my pussy clench on the dildo, and I moaned.
The woman handed the chain to my master, thanked him for the visit and said the car would soon be there.
— No problem, he answered. We will be waiting outside.
He opened the door and went out, dragging me after him.
We waited a few minutes, an eternity to me, naked and on a leash, with cum on my breasts and a dildo vibrating away in my pussy. I felt the shame and fear tighten my pussy, which only made the vibe seem stronger. I was going mad, I wanted to come, and still my master hadn't said a word to me.
The car arrived, the driver came out to open the door and saw me. He actually stopped mid-step. Looked at me, looked at my master, looked at me again. Master looked back.
— Nathalie. Sit on your knees.
I did, revealing my cum-sticky breast. Pushing up against my heels, the dildo was shoved deeper inside my belly, and I moaned aloud.
— Don't worry, my master said to the driver, this is not abuse, she wants to be my bitch. This was my treat for her birthday. If you want to pet her behind, go ahead while she climbs in.
The driver nodded, opened the car door, and I felt his hand on my buttocks, oh solightly, while I climbed in.
When he was seated, my master told the driver to take us where he had picked us up, and rolled down the windows. He then told me to face the window facing the traffic, and proceeded to fuck m yass until I could not scream. When I finally crumpled to the car floor, torn between breathless gasps and shivers from the intense orgasms, he whispered in my ear :
— Happy birthday, whore. You did well.

A service address (physical address). We do not accept papers with a Post Office Box as the address listed for the defendant.

We rely on the relevant data section in the restraining order, which has the name, date of birth, address, and all descriptions of the respondent. The more information you provide in this section, the easier it may be for the Sheriff's Office to complete service. Include an employment address, if applicable, and any other information that will be useful in order for us to serve.Restraining Orders are the first priority in service documents at the Marion County Sheriff's Office. However, it may take anywhere from one day to several weeks to serve a respondent, due to the following:1. A respondent may be avoiding service. Restraining orders are not search warrants, therefore, we cannot force entry into a residence.2. We may be going to the residence at the wrong time because no information was provided as to the best timeframe to serve (or, it is simply unknown).3. Deputies may be responding to emergency calls, or we may only have a limitednumber of deputies on duty.How do I check and see if a Restraining Order has been served?After service is completed, a petitioner will be mailed a copy of the return of service, which is also filed with the court indicating that the Restraining Order has been served. You may also contact the civil division to check service status Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. After hours/weekends/holidays, call the Marion County Jail at (503) 588-8595. However, if you call the Marion County Jail, they will only be able to tell you if the Restraining Order has been served. They cannot provide any other information to you such as how many times the Sheriff's Office has attempted service, etc. If you need to speak to a Deputy or if you need to notify our office of the whereabouts of a respondent, call our main office line at (503) 588-5044, after hours, call our dispatch at 503-588-5032. Please remember to be patient in this process. The Marion County Sheriff's Office performs due and diligent search and inquiry when serving civil process.Please Note: Restraining Orders to be served outside of Marion County are sent to the appropriate county. Please check with the appropriate Sheriff Office for service status.

Lewis Hamilton admits it will take a while before he is fully up to speed with all the ins and outs at Mercedes...
Lewis Hamilton admits it will take a while before he is fully up to speed with all the ins and outs at Mercedes.
Having spent 13 years at McLaren before moving to Brackley at the end of last year, Hamilton was expected to take quite a while before adapting to life at Mercedes.
However, the 28-year-old has made an impressive start at his new team as he claimed back-to-back podiums in Malaysia and China.
Although he is improving with every race, Hamilton says he still has a lot to learn.
"It does take time," he is quoted as saying by PA Sport. "It's my first time moving to a different Formula One team, and there is so much information to take in, to catch up on and to learn, and I'm definitely still learning.
"I wouldn't say I'm 100 percent up to speed with everything because the team does a lot of things differently to what I have experienced before.
"Over the weekend in China I feel I made a good step, but I'm still searching for those things that make you comfortable in a car and with the engineers.
"In practice on Friday, for instance, braking was a big problem for me. I struggled with the braking.
"The feeling I was having was not the same as I'd had in the past, but now I think I've nearly got that.
"Then there are differences with set-up, seating position, steering control, the diff (differential) controls.
"I was used to things one way, and now I'm trying to learn to do it another way. Then there are the engineers and the way they analyse different things. Some things I feel are necessary, some things might be too much, so for me it's picking out the bits I need."

This unit will examine the basic physico-chemical parameters important in ecosystem functioning and the assessment of ecosystem health - dissolved ions (salinity), dissolved gases and nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus and silicon), particulates, contaminants. Processes governing the loading and transformation of these materials will be studied for a wide range of water bodies - including rivers, lakes, estuaries, beaches, oceans, groundwater, sewage treatment and aquaculture systems. Background levels of these parameters in natural waters and levels in disturbed ecosystems will be discussed. The role of these substances as determinants of ecosystem health in water bodies will also be investigated. Sampling of natural waters will also be examined in detail - particularly strategies to avoid contamination and deterioration and improve representativeness of samples. The nature, role, interpretation and application of national water quality guidelines will be described. Common water quality analysis tools and techniques will be considered. An associated series of practical experiments will enhance laboratory skills and demonstrate applications of material introduced in classes.

Ayria is a Canadian futurepop/synthpop musical project formed in early 2003 by Toronto's Jennifer Parkin following her departure from the influential futurepop and EBM band Epsilon Minus. The lighter, ethereal side of gothic, her work shows a collage of smooth textures and soft vocals over collisions of bass and driving beats, danceable and melodic with the darker elements and themes of electro-industrial music still present.

Like every other hobbit, Bilbo Baggins likes nothing better than a quiet evening in his snug hole in the ground, dining on a sumptuous dinner in front of a fire. But when a wandering wizard captivates him with tales of the unknown, Bilbo becomes restless. Soon he joins the wizard's band of homeless dwarves in search of giant spiders, savage wolves, and other dangers. Bilbo quickly tires of the quest for adventure and longs for the security of his familiar home. But before he can return to his life of comfort, he must face the greatest threat of all - a treasure-troving dragon named Smaug.
In this fantasy classic, master storyteller J.R.R. Tolkein creates a bewitching world filled with delightful creatures and thrilling dangers. Narrator Rob Inglis will hold listeners of all ages spellbound with his skillful portrayal of hobbits, dwarves, and enchanted beasts.

It's simple really, I am just a guy looking to enjoy the writing and reading talents of others while raising my family the best I can, just Like most everyone else!!!
"A grand literary adventure!"
What a comforting audiobook. How nice it is when you buy an audiobook that repays you with a great story and a comforting and riviting reader/actor. I had never read "The Hobbit" before so I had only a vague familiarity of the characters to start my literary adventure, but let me tell you how wonderful and exciting it was to go along with Bilbo, Gandalf, (and the Dwarves) Thorin, Fili, Kili, Dwalin, Balin, Oin, Gloin, Ori, Dori, Nori, Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur. We met up with the Elves, Wargs, Goblins, Trolls, Humans and Smaug the dragon who lives in the Mountain that he had stolen from the Dwarves many years before. Oh I miss it already. I guess it's a great thing that I have a bad memory so I can enjoy this one again before too long (LOL). I refuse to spoil the story for you so I will have to leave off after adding that I hope you give this book a chance, that is only if your up for a grand literary adventure.
I love books! All kinds... classics, mysteries, Christian fiction, suspense and action! I'm also a sucker for anything romantic. ;) And just recently started getting into some non-fiction, philosophical books.
"Absolutely Amazing."
I am so glad that this is finally available on Audible! The book is one of my favorites, great all ages. Full of elves, dwarfs, dragons, wizards, goblins, giant spiders... Absolutely fun and engrossing.
I love the narrator as well. He brings the characters to life and his voice is very pleasant to listen to.
Anyone can, and should, enjoy this book. It was written for everyone! As another reviewer said, this is a book (and series) that defined the genre of fantasy. I can't wait to listen to all of them.
And THANK YOU Audible for, when finally releasing the series, and knowing it would be popular, having each book only 1 credit. Certainly worth more, but it means that people who haven't read these amazing books are more likely to take the leap and find themselves enchanted.
I plan on fully enjoying the next 65 hours and 17 minutes of my listening.
But I write for myself, for my own pleasure. And I want to be left alone to do it. - J.D. Salinger ^(;,;)^
"Victory after all, I suppose!"
There are a rare handful of children's books and fantasy novels that definitely deserve to be experienced in different ways (books, movies, audio) and at different times (youth, middle age, etc). I remember my first exposure to this wonderful piece of high fantasy as a child. I loved the world Tolkien created and the way he was able to balance fantasy, poetry, humor and drama. I read it again during the whole 'Lord of the Rings' (LOTR) movie period, and now I've just listened to it on Audible with my own kids in anticipation of taking them to the movie. Wow!
When judging 'the Hobbit', it is tempting to grade it straight against the LOTR trilogy. There is a trap, however, in reading 'the Hobbit' AFTER reading the LOTR. While these works by Tolkien are obviously related, they are very, very different. Tolkien's approach, tone, style and intended audience was a different. If you separate LOTR from 'the Hobbit', gently, it is easier to see the greatness of 'the Hobbit' on its own.
As an adult, I now view 'the Hobbit' more as a Bildungsroman rather than a traditional quest novel. Listening and reading this with my kids, I found myself once more transported not just to middle-earth, but back to my own youth and innocence.

"Quite a journey"
I read this book the first time many years ago. I was hooked instantly, and went on to read the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. I have loved these books ever since.
It was great this time 'round to have it read to me by a fabulous narrator. As I have read other reviews, I was struck by how many people were lucky enough to have a parent read this to them as children, or to read it along with a parent. I did not have that experience and am envious of it. So having Mr. Inglis read it to me is second best. That is not to say his reading is anything but amazing! and I also loved his singing of the songs. I want to believe he made the melodies up himself.
All in all, I was charmed again by this book, by the characters, the journey, the deep meaning, and the flow of Tolkein's writing. I rarely reread fiction, but this one is, and will be in the future, and exception to my rule.
I'm not blind drunk, I'm just blind.
"Finally! Thank you Audible!"
Being a fan of the world of Middle-Earth since I was about ten or so, I was delighted when in Middle School I discovered the unabridged audiobook recordings produced by Recorded Books. As with most of what RB does, they picked the perfect narrator. British stage actor Rob Inglis does an excellent job of bringing the many characters to life, in this case Bilbo and Thorin and Company, not to mention the many characters they meet o their quest to recover the Dwarves' treasure. And unlike most narrators, Mr. Inglis actually sings the many songs sprinkled throughout the story and, while he doesn't always choose what I would consider the right tune for all the given songs, he does have a good tenor. His regular narration style is also extremely pleasant on the ears, and his pronunciation of the names of characters and places is also excellent. Needless to say I was extremely disappointed when Audible removed these recordings from their site some years back and extremely delighted a few days ago when I discovered they'd made them available once again. I used this month's two credits to buy The Hobbit and Fellowship of the Ring and plan to use next month's two to buy the remainder of the story. If you're a fan of the Lord of the Rings and were disappointed or at least not completely satisfied by the other adaptations out there, you may just be in for a pleasant surprise if you give these unabridged productions a listen. It's much more convenient having them available in digital format since you won't have to worry about tapes or discs wearing out, which they inevitably do eventually. I just need to get myself a bigger IPod.
~~~~~~~HOPEFUL ROMANTIC~~~~~~~~~ ~~Love Audiobooks~~ Especially Historical & Inspirational Romances ~~No Spoilers Here~~
I read this as a child and wanted to revisit it now as an adult and I'm so glad I did. I had forgotten a lot of the details and the depth of the story. It was nice to listen to it this time because it gave it a different perspective. What a classic what a treasure.
Addicted to audiobooks & podcasts. 5 Stars=I Loved It, 4 Stars=Enjoyed it Thoroughly, 3=Kinda Good, 2=Bad/Boring, 1=Complete Waste of Credit
I tried to read Tolkien when I was young but it just didn't hold my attention - too many weird names (I hate when I don't know how to pronounce a name in my head) and songs and maps to keep track of. Even though I've seen all the movies (and the animated version of The Hobbit of course), I've always felt left out - I knew that true Tolkien fans had some inner level of cool that I lacked. Now, I am SO glad I missed out as a kid because it made listening to the audio version so much better! The narrator is perfect and of course the writing is superior. I am going to listen to the rest of them and really hope they are as good as The Hobbit.
"Absolutely the BEST"
Rob Inglis's narration is clear and crisp with characters finely enunciated--from the individual dwarfs to Bilbo, from Gandalf to the spiders and the dragon! This reading is better than any dramatization (although there are some good ones) because it combines the best of narration with the value of the unabridged text. Inglis also sings the poetry--haunting and stirring melodies performed beautifully. In a way, Inglis paints the text vocally in the manner that Alan Lee painted the text visually. I am thrilled that audible has made the recordings of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings series available in the US. Worth every penny/credit!!
Two great passions - dogs and books! Sci-fi/fantasy novels are my go-to favorites, but I love good writing across all genres.
"Even more fun on audio"
I've lost count of the times I've read the Hobbit, but picked it up on audio with the deal of day. What a delight! I'm so happy to add this to my audio library now. The master, JRR Tolkien never fails to enchant and this is a really nicely done audio with the songs actually sung and special, fitting voices for the sweet, the mysterious, and the scary inhabitants of Middle Earth. If you have read it before, try it again on audio. If you haven't read it, why not???? Great for audiences of any age.
Say something about yourself!
"The Hobbit. What else needs to be said?"
It is hard to believe its been over 75 years since this was originally published, giving birth to the high fantasy realm of literature. This is a timeless masterpiece that I would highly recommend everyone to experience in its written form.
Rob Inglis does a good job with the narration and I was surprised at the quality of his singing. However the task of singing these songs is a daunting one to say the least! I must admit that a few times I basically ignored the tune, and concentrated on the words themselves to grasp Tolkien's intent.
It seemed as though the actual recording of the reading could have been a bit higher quality, as there were several, albeit quite minor, issues with the recording that kept the performance from achieving its fifth star. This being said, even if you have read the book before, this recording is an experience that you should not miss!

He could light up a room with his trademark cackling laugh, after feigning anger with some bellowing command as the self-proclaimed "warden" of Creston High School.
On Sept. 19, 2012, Curt Olson finally met the only obstacle he couldn't conquer in his relentless effort to make Creston High School, and the community of Creston, a better place.
Olson, 68, died that day from effects of a massive stroke suffered a few days earlier. Earlier in the year, a committee had selected Olson to be inducted into the Creston Community Schools Hall of Fame as a distinguished faculty member.
Because of the timing of his death and the family's attention focused on those arrangements, the full induction of Olson into the Hall of Fame was delayed a year. His wife, Beth, will accept the honor during ceremonies at 12:15 p.m. Friday in the Creston High School auditorium.
Olson was Creston High School assistant principal and activities director for 22 years before retiring in 2004. After that, he worked as a transport officer for the Union County Sheriff's Department.
During his tenure at CHS, he was a past president of the Iowa High School Athletic Directors Association and was a finalist for the National Athletic Director of the Year Award in 1994 while serving as Iowa's State Athletic Director of the Year.
Olson was recognized for his work in helping students stay in school, and find assistance they needed. He was also a coach of several sports in the Creston district, and was still serving as a volunteer coach for the eighth-grade football team at the time of his death.
"One of dad's heroes was his college football coach," said son Matt Olson. "He always told pop he'd make a great junior high coach because of his solid fundamentals and work ethic. Dad told me once how much it meant to him to honor his hero by finally doing it."
Olson worked tirelessly for CHS activities, and as a disciplinarian with a passion for helping struggling kids stay in school. At his funeral in the same CHS gymnasium that "Oly" worked so many hours as an administrator, Matt Olson thanked the community for allowing his father to enjoy his work.
"From the day he set foot there at the old 'Pit,' with Ron Levine, he dug in and went to work," Matt said. "He was allowed by the community to do what he needed to do to make that place run. Without that support, he would have looked to move on."
Matt said his father deserves the Hall of Fame honor.
"He wasn't one of those guys who gets recognition because of giving a lot of money or something," Matt said. "His currency was time. He gave a lot of time, and he's earned this. That was always the way he told us to do things — earn it, or you don't deserve it."
The mindset of earning success without making excuses came early for Curt Olson, who suffered a minor stroke as an infant, which affected his left side. He walked with a limp, yet grew up working as hard as anyone else on the family farm near Manilla, and earned an opportunity to play football at Buena Vista in Storm Lake.
Since he was told as a youngster he had too many physical limitations to be a full-time farmer, he pursued an education, and ended up with a bachelor's degree from Buena Vista, master's from the University of Nebraska at Omaha and an Educational Specialist degree from Northwest Missouri State University.
He followed his passions of athletics and education initially at Pomeroy. He moved to Charter Oak-Ute in 1968. As head football coach there, his team had a 31-game winning streak from 1969-71. That was before the state playoffs began in 1972.
Olson began a 30-year career as an athletic director at Charter Oak-Ute, and later did the same at Maple Valley of Mapleton, before moving to Creston in 1982.
"He had his own growly way, but he'd take young people under his wing and encourage them to stay in school, to do their school work," said Ron Levine, who was CHS principal when Olson was hired. Together, they organized the move from the existing high school building to the "new" current site on Townline Street during the 1989-90 school year.
Special achievement
Olson's drive for success in both athletics and sportsmanship reached a pinnacle in 1997, when Creston not only won the boys state basketball championship in Class 3A, but also the sportsmanship award. "Oly" broke down in tears with the cheerleaders when the trophy was presented in Veterans Memorial Auditorium.
"He was so proud, as was I, to win not only the boys basketball tournament, but also the sportsmanship award," said Chris Duree, then principal at CHS. "To win the championship with the highest degree of class, that's what we wanted for the community, and for our students."
Duree, now chancellor of Iowa Valley Community College district (Marshalltown and Ellsworth), said Olson had a knack for motivating students who appeared to be slipping through the cracks.
"We did everything in our power to keep kids in school," Duree said. "Oly had a way of reaching out to a lot of different students. He'd find the connecting point with the student to keep them in school and be successful. He was a fatherly, or grandfatherly figure. If they knew somebody cared about them, a lot of times they'd stay in school."
Behind scenes
His wife, Beth, said many of her husband's gestures on behalf of kids went unnoticed. As flamboyant as Olson was when he entered a room, he wasn't inclined to seek attention for guiding a child toward the right path.
"He went to houses to get kids out of bed to go to school," Beth said. "He felt it was the responsibility of him and the teachers to get every kid an education, whether they wanted it or not."
As activities director, there weren't many leisurely nights at home.
"He loved every aspect of it," Beth said. "He was home maybe on Sunday, and some Wednesday nights. There were a lot of Saturdays where, if a kid needed a ride to Council Bluffs for instrumental music or for speech, and nobody would take them, he would take them. Curt never did anything to get patted on the back."
Beth said Curt was appreciative of his opportunities in life, because he considered himself a "miracle baby" for having survived the medical trauma of his infancy. The greatest gifts from his parents came from not being coddled, he once told her.
"I remember him telling me how his dad and mom never treated him special," Beth said. "They'd make him stretch his legs, do all kinds of things to feel better, because he was expected to help out around the farm like anyone else."
Curt had a light stroke before retiring, and Beth worried about him. But he wanted to be an activities director for 30 years, a goal he attained.
"He loved the kids, and said he had the greatest job in the world," Beth said. "I told him he should quit, but he worried about what would happen to 'his guys.' He did everything in life that people told him he couldn't do, whereas in society now we sit and whine about stuff.
"This man fought every inch of his life to do what he did."

I wasn't getting the amount the video stated till I understood that I needed the extra pressure. I am glad I got the full kit and not just the pump. I like it when all the parts needed are on hand and just to be installed instead of tracking down all the parts to actually use the pump. Less water to waste and collect for other use's helps with the water bill. Allows me to use my RO/DI Unit with a Well By Miles on 2/13/2013 Miles would recommend this product to a friend I purchased this kit when last year when I moved to the country. I use it in conjunction with the Auto Shutoff Kit and am able to let my RO/DI system run continuously (if I forget to turn it off). This pump has brought me up from 40 PSI to 70PSI. I initially had to adjust it the output down from 90 PSI but have not had any problems with it. It is by no means silent, but I have it in my unfinished basement and can't hear it upstairs. A must have for marginal water pressure. By Al on 1/28/2013 Al would recommend this product to a friend Yeah - your bill is adding up and it seems to be a huge increase to the cost of your new system. I was getting 55 psi out of my house water, and I'm glad I pulled the trigger here. What I have found is that anything you can do to reduce the amount of waste water (rejection rates) the better - I haven't regretted this purchase at all - in fact, I want to say its a must, especially if you are doing the 150gpd upgrade kit. Good pump, a little noisy By Jerry on 1/23/2013 Jerry would recommend this product to a friend I put this pump on my system to boost the pressure, works good for that but is a bit noisy. A must have with a RO uinit By RANDY on 1/23/2013 RANDY would recommend this product to a friend This pump does everything I expected it to do. I did not have enough water pressure to stop the production of waist water. Now my system works flawlessly and faster to boot! Great Product By Jeremy on 1/2/2013 Jeremy would recommend this product to a friend I was using Di and first stage filters like crazy. Now with this kit was just what the doctor ordered! Easy to install and it has everthing you need to boost your system! A must have By Robert on 12/30/2012 Robert would recommend this product to a friend Pressure stays constant no matter what, people showering, laundry, dishwasher running. What A Difference! By PATRICK on 12/14/2012 PATRICK would recommend this product to a friend I added this to my BRS Water Saver Plus 150 Gallon Per Day unit. Before the pump, I was pulling 25-40 PSI from my well; afterwards, I have a steady 90 PSI. It fills my 30 gallon trash cans super fast. The pump is very quiet and I now have it mounted under my sink with the RO unit. A MUST have for low preasure By John on 11/19/2012 John would recommend this product to a friend After adding my RODI unit my pressure was only 35-40 PSI which was not getting me anywhere on making my water. After adding this pump to my system I now have a SOLID 90PSI when making water. This unit is extremely quiet and well built – A must have! without a doubt its a great investment By jorge on 11/2/2012 jorge would recommend this product to a friend So i got the pump yesterday and by 6:30pm i was filling my 55gallon and a 64gallon drums, i am very satisfied by how quick they were filled. I really apreciate your business and shipping is fast too! AAA+++++ Can't beat for winter preparation! By Brandon on 10/18/2012 Brandon would recommend this product to a friend This pump is even better than I expected. It was simple to install. Not to mention, it's much quieter than I had expected! I thought as soon as I plugged this thing it, it would sound like a small air compressor, man was I wrong! I purchased this pump because I run a 90gpd piggy-back. My home water pressure is around 60psi in the summer, however, with the winter coming along, the cold water drastically reduces the pressure. I see such a pressure drop because this unit is setup in an outside Rubbermaid storage shed specifically for hobby items. This includes two 32 gallon Brute trash cans for fresh and saltwater mix. The water runs from a 75 foot hose from the house, to the RO/DI unit. Last year, I experienced pressures so low during the winter, I had to take my additional piggy-back membrane off and just run one. This year, with the additional pressure from the pump, I'll be prepared for winter! I highly recommend this product. Not to mention, you can't beat BRS' price on this! Great unit! 220v side note By Chris on 10/15/2012 Chris would recommend this product to a friend I must say that is is a great product for anyone not getting the required psi into their RO system. The unit is small, quiet and well bulit. I prurchased the booster pump because I was only getting, at best, 40 psi into the RO membraine. Now I am seeing 88 psi. With the 150 gpd upgrade and this pump my production has dramically increased and I am seeing a 1:1 ratio. Well worth the money!!!! As a side note, any one who is living in an country that uses 220v you must buy a special converter for this unit. The 220v power supply can be found on this website: isopurewater.com and the item number is:TACS234-48RF. It will cost about 35.00 plus shipping. Happy Reefing!!

Written by Giuseppe Di Fede on January 17, 2013Read Review details ►
I first experienced sculpture at a store in my area and immediately I fell in love with it. It is crisp and clean and you don't need very much of it as it is also kind of heady. This in my estimation is a five star fragrance. It is versatile in that it could be worn for any occasion.

"Visualization" is such a trendy word. If I start this post using it you'll think I am some sort of crystal wearing, tree hugging nut but here goes:
I love to visualize where I might go, what I might do in the future. It helps me keep the present on the right track and gives me goals that I can see in my mind. I relax when I visualize.
"Work hard," I tell myself and believe that I can achieve many things if I take many small steps. I have tried taking big ones too soon, only to stumble and fall. So that's what I do, I look for small steps every day to take me towards my goals. Meanwhile I "visualize" places I'd like to see before I leave this earth.
What places do you dream of going to someday? I'd like to hear about them. Here's my Top 5:

I am getting ready to start a trailer project and ran across this forum a few days ago. I am impressed at both the talent and patients here. Good group of people.
I am familiar with both Stick and Mig welding and have done both. I am no where proficient with either but seem to get the job done in a hobby/ad-hoc fashion.
The trailer project I am starting is a smaller 10x5 #3500 axle utility trailer. Main use for hauling camping supplies with a utility shell atop.
It will be constructed with 2 x 3 x 3/16 angle.
The machines I have available to me are:
Mig - Dayton 90/110 amp ac/dc
Stick - Miller dialarc 250 ac/dc
My primary question is what kind of Joint would be recommended for this project?
Mitered butt joint, lap joint or a coped joint. Maybe this is a matter of taste, but I would like to make sure that there is not a structural reason for each type before I discount them.
On a side question, or maybe it has to do with the type of joint used, I would like to use the Mig as it seems to be easier but I don't seem to be getting good penetration on clean metal (3/16"). I am using flux-core wire. Does shield-gas wire get better penetration?
It is harder for me to see what I am doing (can't see the joint with an auto darkening #10) but I read in other threads that I will probably need a stronger work light and use one of those white weld pencils to mark the joints and
I hope what I am asking makes sense. I really want to do a good job since I will be pulling a trailer down the road and would rather not have the thing fall apart on the first (or umpteenth) bump.
Thanks for any advice.
I forgot to mention that the joints I asked about are for the bed frame corners. Forgot that only my Wife could read my mind (intentions).

Type of joint (lap, butt, cope)?
The little Migoline machine tain't enough- switching to Solid Wire and shielding gas makes it even a worse choice.

Welcome to the forum Future Shock. Best of luck with your project.
Don't feel bad about using stick to fabricate your trailer; I know several experienced, unhurried fabricators who prefer it. Just be sure your weld quality is up to it; lots of liabillity here. Suggest you have your plans checked by an experienced fabricator too.
As far as joint type vs strength is concerned, lapped joints are strongest of course and are employed by many trailer fabricators. Between mitered/butt welded joints and coped joints there should be no difference in strength when properly done. If you're planning to build your trailer with low sides (vs a true flatbed) to give it enhanced rigidity, you can use upright angle spanning the corners for part of the rail or side support. That will give the corner joints extra strength and at the same time provide the best mounting possible for the sides. With the size of angle you're planning to use, I would build a trailer with at least low sides. A true flatbed would be better built with something heavier.Miller XMT-350 CC/CV

Thanks Broccoli1.
Next time I use the Mig I will try a lower #.
I was not sure how low they went or if it could be a danger.

Thanks for the input Dmaxer.
I have purchased the trailer plans, I did not feel comfortable trying that on my own.
Since it will be a sided trailer with 17" sides, I like your suggestion with the corner post. Gives a few extra welds for strength.
I feel somewhat comfortable with my stick welding. I can get good penetration, its just I need to work on the looks of it. But I suppose that's why they made angle grinders. hehe.
And since I have until August to get it done, I can take my time and do some practicing. It's that dang liability thing that stays on my mind. Nothing worse then leaving a bread trail of 2x3 angle iron in your path...... well I guess unless it's the guy in front of you doing it.
On anything i do 7 out of 10 times i use a but joint with a plate on the out side of the welds.

If transplants produced in North Carolina are intended for shipment out of the state only, the producer should check the requirements of the importing state to determine if a certificate of inspection is required.
If transplants are produced in North Carolina and intended for home, garden, or any non-commercial use in North Carolina, they are exempt from inspection requirements.
If transplants are produced in North Carolina and intended for commercial use in North Carolina, the inspection and tagging requirements as stated for out-of-state shipments apply (see below). The transplant producer is designated as a nursery. Information on inspection procedures and fee structure are listed under the Nursery Certification Regulation. Transplants are exempt if they are sold to a grower having personal knowledge of the conditions under which they were produced and they are transplanted within a 30-mile radius of the location at which they were produced.
Plant diseases can cause serious crop losses for the vegetable industry. Many disease organisms naturally occur in North Carolina and may eventually affect a crop depending upon the environmental conditions. However, the earlier disease organisms are introduced into an area, the more impact they may have. Vegetable transplants, cuttings, sets, crowns, and seed potatoes which are packed, offered, or exposed for sale or shipped into North Carolina must meet certain standards regarding freedom from plant pests. They must be tagged with a certificate of inspection issued by regulatory officials in the state of origin, and the seller must provide a variety statement (or the words "variety not stated") with the shipment. With the exception of asparagus crowns, onion sets, and white seed potatoes, all vegetable plants must be inspected within three days of being placed for sale or being shipped into North Carolina. Additionally, importers must provide notification of the intent to import pepper transplants before the shipment enters the state. This information is used to advise the pepper importer in the event that an outbreak of a serious disease (such as bacterial leafspot) occurs in the transplant production area.
