Hilton Head Island, SC - - Professional Tennis Registry (PTR) announced that Josh Bates, of Chandler, Arizona, has completed the extensive education requirements to earn the organization's highest coaching certification of PTR Master of Tennis - Performance.
PTR Master of Tennis is a first in coach education in the USA. PTR Master of Tennis - Performance qualification matches the National Council on Accreditation of Coaching Education (NCACE) at the highest level - Level 5. These Standards, at different levels, are used by many other sports and education bodies in the USA, and are recognized and endorsed by the United States Olympic Committee (USOC).
The Master of Tennis - Performance program is open to PTR members who hold a Professional rating, and is for those who are working with juniors who have potential, high level college players, and/or tour professionals.
"The Master of Tennis program debuted last year," said PTR CEO Dan Santorum. "It is based on a number of courses in a unique mixture of online learning and home study, as well as practical on court learning in small groups of fellow professionals. This means that coaches benefit from studying on their own, as well as from discussing and interacting with their peers on the tennis court. The program can be completed in as few as nine months or can take as long as two years, and the schedule takes into consideration that most participants work full time."
"This qualification program, the content of which is linked to the International Tennis Federation's Level 3 Course, helps coaches gain the knowledge and skills to be the best they can be and to make a world of difference in the progress of aspiring young players," Santorum continued.
There are specific requirements to apply and to be accepted for this prestigious qualification. Please visit www.ptrtennis.org for more information.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thanks for the info. I was planning my "dream" garage, and one thing I wanted was a paint booth. But once I actually started looking at them, it was apparent that wasn't going to happen. Beyond the price of the booth, they require things like 10 hp 3 phase motors and 1.2 million BTU gas hookups, which isn't going to happen at my house
So I started thinking about why it needed that stuff. It seems like professional booths have enough airflow that one wouldn't even need a mask, and that all the air is external - the intake is outside, not shop air, and the exhaust is obviously outside. That requires a lot of heat in cold climates.
I did some calculating, and to get what I think is sufficient airflow in what seems a common size booth (24 x 14 x 9), it takes about 1600 cfm. To heat that air in cold weather would take something like 80-120k BTU/hr, depending on how cold you want to be able to paint, and how well the furnace works. This seems to fit in with a residential furnace size, has anyone ever used one to vent and heat a booth?
i noticed that you asked about heating the booth.
my garage is insulated and heated - but the heater is located in the booth (could not be helped).
i have to heat the garage up as hot as i can, then shoot - then turn the heat back on. again it is a coordination thing that has to be practiced and perfected.
my mentor has a hot dawg heater outside of his booth and he draws the heated air past his paint curtain and in to the booth. he does show cars all of the time, and much of his work is done in cooler/cold months when he has more time.
i shot my daughters 2000 Mustang hood and hood scoop in January of this year and the booth was not warm enough when i did the clear - so i did run the clear (a little). for me it will take more practice and experience - or until i decide to move my operation to a different building.
as previously mentioned - the pump goes away from exhaust vents some place safe. my set up (see my website for photos) is a simple single bay garage setup. i place the pump on the outside of the garage on the front and exhaust out the back.
i NEVER smell anything when i am using the SAS. i use the SAS from the minute i start mixing until i am done shooting. i set the hose up so i can walk out of the booth with the hood on, pump on, pulling the hose behind me (between coats), then do everything in reverse when i return to the booth. it takes planning and coordination, especially for a larger shoot - hence the comment i made earlier about freedom of movement.
i have seen pictures of people who put the pump in their basement so they can draw in cooler conditioned air. they even sell a "chiller" that is basically a large tub filled with water and ice and the hose is coiled inside of the tub.
the SAS comes with a high volume pump that can be used with a "two hose setup", so you can have two people in the booth at the same time. i purchased the high volume pump thinking that my dad might want to be in the booth with me from time to time.
i wish i had NOT gotten the bigger pump.
with a one hose set up (which is always the way i shoot) - the pump is too powerful and makes is somewhat difficult to keep the hood on straight.
|Right now I'm spraying with a filtered full face respirator and full Tyvek suit. If I were to start doing a lot more spraying I'd consider getting a hobbyair. Just priming small parts I use a half face. I'll use my full face though for anything with iso's. I'll often spray 2k in front of my shop and since it's outside I'll just wear my half face for that. Totally not a pro, which is why I can get away with spraying outside.
|Away from where you are spraying, and away from your exhaust fan. If you are spraying in your garage then set up the intake of the fresh air system away from wherever your exiting overspray is. If you can smell fumes coming into your set up then stop right away and get it further away.
|So where do you draw your air from with the supplied air? While they look really good, my fear would be fumes getting sucked up by the supplied air system and piped to the mask
Some of the people on this forum are QUITE knowledgeable in this area. I used their expertise when asking similar questions before deciding what I was going to do / use.
Based on feedback from others, I went with a supplied air system from Autobodystore.net. i believe the actual reference to autobodystore.net came from someone here on hotrodders.com.
Autobody Store: <B>Hobbyair and Pro-Air</B>
the person that runs autobodystore.net is also very knowledgeable and helpful. i can also speak to his customer service.
i like my supplied air system very much and have been using it for approximately 1.5 years (or approximately 12 - 15 sessions in the paint booth). i chose it primarily because of the safety factor. however i do plan on upgrading at some point in the future - as i start doing more painting work.
the Axis (FKA HobbyAir) product that i purchased (the full hood version) is very safe and an excellent product.
my only complaint is - the hood fitment "tends" to limit my vision in some situations and the "Stick On" face shield protectors seem to accentuate my vision and glare issues. please note that this is all personal observation / experience and not everyone has these issues.
the next logical step for me may be something like this:
DeVilbiss Safety Equipment
to provide perspective for you - my painting mentor and teacher does not care for supplied air systems at all. he prefers and uses a Bandit mask and just changes it out after 8 hours. he likes the freedom of movement and there is less risk from an additional hose in the booth.
|Interesting thread. What do you guys use for personal protection, masks with activated carbon, supplied air respirators, something else? And do you have any provisions for heating the air in the winter, or are these three-season (one season in Michigan) booths?
So I finally got this thing built as I'm close to painting. It could always use more light, and is going to be a little tighter than what's ideal, but I had to work with what I had.
I have flourescent lights running parallel on the walls 2 ft high, at 45* angles in each corner at the ceiling, and then running across the ceiling. I could use another 4 ft over the trunk and hood area really. I'm going to put daylight bulbs in all the fixtures.
I'll have eye-hooks in the ceiling for hanging things. I put up a heavy duty white tarp for the ceiling. There are two 4 foot doors that open to the inside of the shop so the car can be pushed out into the shop, or large individual panels can be moved into the booth. There is a filtered fresh air supply at the center front of the booth in the ceiling; these filters also have a pre-filter over them. I have an exhaust fan that will go at the other end...that's what the large wooden thing laying on the floor is. That goes in the exterior door way, the door closes up against it, and the ducting from the exhaust goes out the hole in the wood filler piece.
All the wall sections are modular and easily come apart in 4 foot sections so it can be taken down and stored if I don't want it up anymore. This just requires putting up new plastic. Although, I'm considering keeping it up so I can park the mustang in it once it's all finished and have a relatively dust-free parking area.
I have not run the air line into the booth yet, but it will have its own dedicated filter and dessicator.
I scored a free fan from an old body guy that used it in his home garage to spray. He took a squirrel cage furnace blower and put it in this enclosure with filtered inlets on the top and front. It's belt driven by the motor on the side there.
Is this type of AC motor brushless? He just sprayed with the entire thing in the room, and had ducting that took it out the roof. I'll run my ducting out in a similar fashion.
Second, do the cheapie utility lights with exposed bulbs have issues with the bulbs getting coated and covered in overspray?
Third, I'm trying to figure out how to mount the lights on the side walls in terms of running power to them. The lights will have a cord that plugs in. If there were actually outlets in the booth for the lights to plug into--and outlets either had a light plugged into it or one of those outlet baby-proofing protectors you plug into it, would this present a serious risk? I ask because people mention plugging lights into extension cords and this is the same thing, it's just an outlet, not extension cord.
|ya bud sounds sweet.but your hot air ducts will they cause the paint to dry in these duct holes first ????? one more thang to much fan works blow it'll suck your heat out so fast it won't stay warm.yes there's a fornual for what size fans u need . no **** i had a 36" fan on a 12'x14 high door it got cold !!!! just check it out. hey take care bud pops
|bob wilcox
I've built four booths, the first was a "not very good one". The last three were cheap and great. A spraqy booth should be 24 by 14 feet. The height should be 10 feet if possible. I framed them with metal studs--2x4--on 16" centers. at the door openings i doubled the studs, one inside of another, I used 2x6 metal studs on the ceiling on 12" centers--it doesn't cost that much more for the strength gained. I used wind braces for diagonal support. I lined it with white barn metal, not galvinized because of the weight. Run the metal horizontally and caulk the heck out of it as you install it. For the ventilation I had the fans [3] with air ducts and filerts about 6 feet from the booth and ducted the air into the ceiling corners and the center corners of the ceiling. The exhaust was through two ducts under the area where a car would sit just laying on the floor. The were heat ducts made to go inside of walls of a house, an oval or rectangular shape, they make both. these ducts were parallel and running lengthdwise nearly the full length of the car. They are made to go in a 3 1/2" wall, so they clear most cars. If they wont clear, lay 2x6 boards on the floor to drive in on and raise the car 1 1/2". cut about 3" holes in the side of the ducts for the air to go through' four per outer side of duct. Install duct work on the ends of the booth for these to slide on to. Don't make this a perminent attachment, leave it so that the ducts can be slid off of the ducting at the wall when not in use. Now you have a pressurized booth that wont draw dust and oil in when in use. Place your lights verticly on the walls so that they extend at least a foot above any car you are painting. put he ceiling lights cross ways in the booth [3]. Put the end lights about 2 feet from the end of the booth. You can add more lights, the more the better.
A good and cheap place to get lights and studs, and even a walk in door is Your local Home For Humanity outlet. Construction companys donate materials and you can get it for cents on the dollar, and the best part is that it is a tax deductable contribution. Hope this helps someone!
I see this thread has come back to life. I never got around to constructing the booth this summer as I was too busy with other things, but I would still like it to happen and the most recent comments have given some good info.
Yes I always do keep a fire extinguisher in the shop, no I don't think it will help me if my booth explodes, and yes, sparking is a concern of mine. I also do not plan to heat the booth as I only paint/spray in the spring, summer, and fall when the temps are warm enough.
|We built a small paint booth (for a wheel re-finisher) we put a restaurant type exhaust fan on the roof to draw air out.
|Old Fool
I too use the homemade spray booth and have thought a lot about ignition sources.
Box fans are not to high on MY risk list, they are a brushless motor- so no sparks from a commutator & brush assy.
Blades are plastic so no risk of sparks being generated there either.
IF a bearing were to fail then there is a risk of sparks.
BUT- the switch sparks every time you turn it, set it where you want and leave it alone.
Connect your fans to extension cords that are plugged in somewhere else outside of your booth.
Plug and unplug the cord at that location to turn the fans on and off.
Lights: I use auxiliary fluorescent lighting, the risk of sparks at the connection of the ends of the bulbs and the sockets is a concern to me.
I make sure there is no corrosion on either, then I apply some dielectric grease on the contacts before installing the bulbs.
I only spray a couple times a year, so I check and service them before each "booth setup".
I plug my lights into extension cords and do the same as the fans, plug and unplug from outside the "booth"
Air compressor: big risk - keep in another area, there are pressure switches,metal pulleys,magnetic starters, etc.
Needs to be in a remote location.
( not to mention it might be blowing oil vapors into your booth air)
Thermostats, the old contact type are a spark risk.
Solid state not a problem normally.
If either were to short out and burn up they may provide an ignition source.
I turn off at power source.
Garage door opener: possible source, unplug it.
Light switches: Danger Will Robinson! they arc internally darn near every time you turn them on or off. I turn them on before starting and do not turn them off until my "booth" is totally cleared out.
That is my routine, not saying it is safe or unsafe, just my thoughts for my "booth"

Many of you have asked: What steps has TSA taken in light of this development? Some think we should ramp up security even more for possible retaliations and others think we should relax our procedures and do away with body scanners and the liquid restrictions. I can reassure you that we're constantly looking at current intelligence to evaluate and adapt our procedures to keep the flying public safe. Passengers may continue to notice a variety of security measures at U.S. airports to include the use of physical bag checks, random gate screening, explosives detection technology, canine teams and behavior detection officers. We ask that you remain vigilant when you travel and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Very informative read I found today. I wish I would've found this a couple months ago!
GM Performance :: View topic - LT4 Hotcam in L31 This pretty much clears up everything. 64nailhead- pm sent
|SBC Vortec heads have 11/32" valve stems. Some HD trucks use a 3/8" exhaust stem. LSx, etc. uses 8mm.
I overlooked the fact that you were using FACTORY locks and retainers. Factory locks and retainers are designed for stock valves that have 8mm stems. If you use stock retainers and locks with aftermarket valves that have 11/32" stems, the locks will not fit correctly and will likely fail. That is the reason the stock valve locks and retainers sit higher on the aftermarket 11/32" valve stems. The ends of the locks were in contact with each other and did not provide the necessary clamping force on the valve stem. The ends of the locks should never be in contact with each other.
The combination of CCA-787 (7 degree) retainers and CCA-648 (7 degree) locks are designed for aftermarket SS valves with 11/32" valve stems and will fit properly.
I am using CCA-795 (10 degree) retainers, CCA-613 (10 degree) locks, CCA-26918 beehive valve springs, Scorpion 1.5 full roller rocker arms and Manley Race Master SS valves with .290" tips. That combination provides .035" to .040" clearance between the rocker roller tip alignment rails and the locks.
|I thought this thread was done, but guess what? I figured I'd buy some Comp hardened, machined #648 STANDARD locks, rather than reuse the FACTORY standard locks. Upon reassembly, these Comp locks actually give me 1.80" installed height, while giving me .025+ inch rocker rail to retainer/ lock clearance! The FACTORY vortec locks were giving me a 1.755" installed height! SO many variables in cylinder head rebuilding. Needless to say,after the unnecessary guide machining I now I have WELL over .620" retainer to seal clearance. Thought this info may be helpful to others.
|PM sent.
64nailhead or anyone else interested in Comp seat & guide cutters with 11/32" arbor? Used on just ONE set of vortecs. Worked like a charm! I'm finally back on track with this build. Cobalt, what determines whether or not distributor needs to be recurved? I've got GMPP (AC Delco) dist #93440806.
P.S. Just read your 'recurve' link.
Answered my question. Thanks!
If using a spring and retainer like the GM-recommended Crane p/n 10309-1 is a short cut, then so be it- but sometimes a cigar IS just a cigar. In any event it does address the clearance issues- w/o the need to machine anything- rather neatly IMHO. After verifying clearances all that leaves is selecting a pushrod that'll give you a good sweep (see links above). Don't forget to recurve the distributor.
There's little point in using lifts in excess of 0.500" on a production unported Vortec head. I don't know if you're planning to use a hydraulic roller or flat tappet, so I'll just say generally that a split pattern cam w/0.050" intake duration of about 222-228 degrees will get you to your goal w/room to spare. This is using long tube headers, an intake like the RPM, a carb no bigger than a 3310 Holley (750 cfm vacuum secondary; a Q-jet or 650/670 cfm carb will work as well) and the CR to match the cam, along w/good engine building practices.
If you want to see for yourself how different cams will "perform", try using Comp's Camquest program. Peak numbers are all well and good, but the average numbers often tell the REAL story...
I agree that the easy way is usually not the best way and also usually ends up with me reworking the original problem. I'm sure that you have been bitten by the 'take the easy way out' snake a time or two.
In terms of going more than .500" on a stock Vortec head, I always have to remind myself of what I'm after - 350 to 400 hp street machine. I'm not a drag racer, I'm more of tire burner. Presently, repeat presently, I believe the cheapest route to my HP desires are through a Vortec head. I have to admit that I would love to have a 500+ HP motor in a daily driver, but I am aware of the problems it creates. Personally I find more satisfaction in cheap HP. I know that alot of people on this forum aren't after what I'm after, but 'to each his own'.
Lastly, 'corollaries'? You made me use the dictionary!
cor·ol·lar·y (kôr-l r, k r-) n. pl. cor·ol·lar·ies. 1. A proposition that follows with little or no proof required from one already proven.
Thanks greatly for the advise
There are several situations going on each needs to be understood differently.
- The first is the distance between the valve's head and the lock groove on the stem. This can be independent of the total length of the stem as measured from the head to stem tip. So this is a value you need to know as it doesn't have to change just because the valve is longer. But it could so you cannot make an assumption; you've got to have the measurement. Many valves are sold at .1 sometimes .25 inch longer than stock. These usually but not always are intended for aftermarket and OEM over the counter performance heads that raise the port which also raises the spring pocket. These valves often raise the lock groove a like amount to the stem length increase so as to retain the production part installed spring length. They might retain the production distance between the lock groove and the stem tip.
- The second is the distance between the lock groove and the stem tip. This is independent of the valve length but may be married with a longer valve.
There are problems encountered when trying to avoid shortening the guide height on Vortec heads by using a longer stem and shimming the spring:
- A thick shim needs to be placed under the spring and a separate spring locating pad will have to be included in the stack up.
- Longer stem lengths are more unstable they bend especially with increased spring pressures.
- The rocker studs usually prove to be too short because the longer valve forces raising the rocker. You will have to obtain longer studs. At this point longer studs become unstable with high spring pressures you may well find that you must use a 3/8ths stud and maybe even girdles to keep even a street engine from having problems busting studs.
- You will have to also use a longer push rod to keep the geometry of the rocker at the valve stem tip correct. This probably can't be ascertained until after engine assembly so all the dimensions can be accounted for in the tip sweep.
So as you can see a lot of elements come into this when you try to get around grinding down the guides.
Over many decades I developed a deep understanding Murphy's Laws of engineering and mechanics and added a few corollaries of my own, one of which is:
- The easy way out of a problem always leads back in and at greater expense.
Frankly, I'm rather of the opinion that if you're planning .5 inch lift or more the production L31 Vortec is not the head to be using. There are many aftermarket heads that just don't require so much messing around with for about the same price.
The Manley valves with .290" tips will work with aluminum self aligning rocker arms. You will have about .035" - .040" clearance between the rocker rails and valve locks. We used Comp Cams 795 retainers Comp Cams 613 locks. That is 10* equipment. The 10* locks are wider than 7* locks which gives additional clearance between the retainer I.D. and the rocker alignment rails.
The push rod length and rocker arms stud height are different issues. You will need to determine the correct push rod length after the camshaft is installed. There are several different 3/8"-24 rocker arm studs that have a different effective heights in order to get the correct adjustment length for the poly-locks. We used ARP 134-7104 rocker studs which is the most common suds used for full roller rocker arms and poly-locks. .
The push rods we used were Comp Cams High Tech #7940 (7.200" ) but the length must be determined for your heads using your lifters and camshaft.
|FWIW there's a relatively inexpensive tool that'll allow the retainer and lock installed height to be checked/verified. It's Howards p/n 92010. Use your own calipers.
Some info:
Vortec heads
Valve train points to check
Valve train geometry
The problem that's been encountered here is the exception, not the rule. flyingputz had a problem because he used locks that added 0.050" to the installed spring height because the springs he used had a little too much seat pressure without the added height. The added installed height the locks provided also reduced the clearance between the locks/retainer and rocker arm.
Ideally, the 26918 springs (130 lb @ 1.8" installed height) would be used w/+0.100" valves. Another way around this would have been to use guideplates and ditch the self aligning rockers or use guideplates w/the rockers he has now, after removing the alignment 'rails' from his rockers (shown below). Then the +0.050" locks would clear.
If the rockers were the type that used the thin "washers" on either side of the roller for aligning on the valve tip, this might not have been an option. I thought this was what he had after it was mentioned by someone but it turns out they're the cast-in rails that could be removed. After seeing his rockers and thinking it over, that's what I would do, along w/using the +0.050" locks. It would be time consuming, but using care it can be done. I'd use a dremel and run several turns of mashing tape over the rollers to help protect them. Obviously this would require guide plates, different studs and the boss cut down, but I believe that would be the least expensive way to go about it, other than to just go ahead and run a little extra spring pressure.
Through all of this thread, and it is a thread and a half, I've gathered that inorder to eliminate the clearance issues between the rocker and locks and rocker and retainer for a stock Vortec head with .500 to .525 lift the solution is valves with .290" stem height above the the lock - is that correct? And this should eliminate the need to machine the guides for retainer clearance and spring pressure will be relatively easily adjusted with shims, correct? And from there I will have to get the correct stud and push rod lengths.
From what you guys have posted, this will work with several different brands of self aligning roller rockers and ratios.
I ask, as I am planning on a Vortec head install with a set of 062's that I already have.
FYI - I don't want to hijack the thread, but this will help me from finding myself in flyingputz's situation (and you guys from answering the same questions again in 4-5 months).

The Tamron SP AF 60mm F/2 Di II is an affordable fast lens for macro photography fans. Even if the build quality isn't perfect, its image quality test results are quite satisfying for a lens at that price. Let's have a look at the details.
We measured the Nikon version of the Nikon version of the Tamron SP AF 60mm F/2 Di II mounted on a Nikon D7000 body and its Canon version on a Canon 7D body. In both cases, the resolution is quite good and the lens showed a good homogeneity across the field from f/4 and above, especially the Nikon version. It is this measurement, by the way, that accounts for the difference in scores for these particular lens/camera combinations. It is worth noting that both scores are on the low side but at that price, it could be a good compromise.
All other image quality measurements were within acceptable limits, including those for distortion and transmission. As for vignetting, it's more noticeable on the Nikon than the Canon at f/2 and f/2.8, but this said, it entirely disappears from f/4 onwards. The measurements for chromatic aberration were similarly negligible for both cameras.
Tamron AF 60mm F/2 Di II vs Canon EF-s 60mm F2.8 Macro USM
We then compared the Tamron AF 60mm F/2 Di II with the Canon EF-s 60mm F2.8 Macro USM lens (full results here), both mounted on a Canon 7D body. Again, the results for both lenses were disappointingly lower than expected (48 lp/mm). From f/5.6 to the highest shutter speed, their resolution profiles are identical; at f/2.8, however, the Canon lens shows better homogeneity.
Distortion and transmission are within acceptable limits. Vignetting for the Tamron at f/2 is comparable to vignetting for the Canon at f/2.8; for both lenses, vignetting disappears at f/5.6. (Note that this lens can be mounted on certain full-size camera bodies, in which case vignetting becomes very important, naturally enough.) Neither lens produced significant chromatic aberration.
Between the two competing lenses, the Canon has a slight edge over the Tamron, as the former achieves its maximal performance at f/2.8, while the latter achieves its best performance at f/4.
As for other performance criteria, here are a few points to be noted: Even if the manual focus ring feels a bit "stiff' or "sticky," the fact that you can manually focus this lens while still in auto-focus mode has won praise from macro-lens users across the board. This seems to have been a good design decision on Tamron's part, since quite often the Tamron AF feature does not work very well when mounted on a Canon body.
Despite its being more expensive than many typical macro lenses (which start at f/2.8), it is clear that many macro aficianados have been completely charmed by Tamron's ability to shoot at f/2, with virtually distortion-free performance at 1:1 macro distances as well as at "normal" shooting distances.

Osteoporosis is not only a women's disease. Yes, men can have it too. There are cases of osteoporosis-related hip fractures in men over the age of 50. So, if you are a man nearing or over 50 years old, what should you know about this condition?
Throughout your lifetime, your bones are constantly changing. Old bone is being removed and new bone is being added. When you are young, your bones grow stronger because you are building bone. Sometime around your late twenties to early thirties, this changes, and you begin to lose bone faster than it is added.
Osteoporosis occurs when your bones become weak and brittle and can break easily. The hip, spine, and wrist are the most common locations of osteoporosis-related fractures. Fractures are a major threat to people's mobility and independence—and they can be deadly. There is the possibility of death due to complications in the first year after a hip fracture. Everyone is susceptible to osteoporosis, but the following factors increase the risk in men of developing it:
- Family history of osteoporosis
- Body mass index less than 20 kg/m² (kilograms per meters squared)
- Drinking too much alcohol
- Cigarette smoking
Osteoporosis in Men
Since women are at higher risk of developing osteoporosis, the media and the healthcare industry usually focus on osteoporosis in women. Because of this emphasis on women, men may not even be aware that they are also at risk. It is true that men do not experience rapid bone loss in their 50s like women do. But by age 65 or 70, men and women are losing bone mass at the same rate. As men get older, their risk of developing osteoporosis increases substantially.
Many cases of osteoporosis in men are due to age-related bone loss, but some of the cases are due to some secondary cause. Some secondary causes are:
- Glucocorticoid medication—used to treat diseases such as asthma and rheumatoid arthritis
- Hyperthyroidism or hyperparathyroidism
- Hypogonadism—low levels of testosterone, which can occur naturally or be caused by medications, cancer treatments, or many other factors
- Cancer therapies—such as androgen blockade for prostate cancer
- Gastrointestinal disease—which may impair the absorption of bone-building nutrients
- Hypercalciuria (too much calcium lost in the urine)
- Immobilization (prolonged bedrest)
How You Can Protect Your Bones
To help preserve your bone health:
- Avoid smoking.
- Reduce alcohol intake. This means no more than 2 drinks per day for men.
- Lift weights.—Resistance training exercises have been shown to increase bone mass and strength.
- Engage in weight-bearing exercises—Examples include walking, jogging, racquet sports, or stair climbing.
- Get sufficient calcium and vitamin D—The National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends 1,200 mg of calcium and 800-1,000 IU of vitamin D daily in men over 50 years old.
- Discuss medications that might affect bone loss with your doctor.
One of the most important things you can do to protect your bones is to detect osteoporosis before a fracture occurs. Since most physicians do not commonly screen men for osteoporosis, you should alert your doctor if you are at increased risk for developing this condition. Also, discuss the option of screening with your doctor if you have experienced loss in height, change in posture, fracture, or sudden back pain.
To diagnose osteoporosis, your doctor will get your complete medical history. They will also get a bone density test, which can detect low bone density, predict your risk for fractures, diagnose osteoporosis, and monitor the effectiveness of treatments.
If you are diagnosed with osteoporosis, it is important that it be treated. Your doctor may prescribe a prescription medication that has been approved to treat osteoporosis in men. You will probably also be placed on a nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle regimen for preventing future bone loss.

Chromium is a trace mineral that works with insulin to help regulate and maintain normal amount of sugar, glucose, in the blood. It also plays a role in carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism. Chromium can be found naturally in foods and also comes in a variety of supplemental forms.
Recommended Intake
Chromium Deficiency
Severe chromium deficiency is likely very rare. As chromium works closely with insulin, a deficiency of this mineral can produce symptoms similar to those seen in people with diabetes and can worsen glycemic control in people with pre-existing diabetes.
Safety Issues
It is difficult to consume toxic amounts of chromium from dietary sources alone. But, harmful levels of the mineral can potentially be ingested in the form of supplements. Daily dosages of 50-200 mcg are believed to be safe. The Institute of Medicine has not established a Tolerable Upper Intake Level.
A daily intake of over 1,200 micrograms has been reported to cause kidney, liver, and bone marrow damage in one person. In another case report, a person taking daily dose of 600 mcg over a 6-week period was enough to cause damage. You should talk to your doctor before taking more than 200 mcg. Chromium toxicity may be more likely in people who already have liver or kidney disease
In addition, chromium picolinate appears to alter levels of neurotransmitters when taken in high doses—a possible concern for people with depression, bipolar disease, or schizophrenia.
Major Food Sources
Many foods contain a small amount of chromium. In general, whole grain breads and cereals and meats are all good sources. The content of chromium in many foods can be affected by how food is gown and processed. Here is a list of the approximate contents of chromium in certain foods:
Health Implications
Research on Chromium
Researchers have studied using chromuim to help treat the following conditions, but the results are inconclusive:
- Weight loss
- Diabetes
- Cholesterol problems
- Depression
- Metabolic syndrome
- Female infertility
Tips for Increasing Your Dietary Chromium Intake
- Always talk to your doctor before taking a chromium supplement or any other dietary supplement. The supplement can interact with other prescription or over-the-counter medications that you are taking or possibly affect a condition that you have.
- You can get plenty of chromium from eating a healthy diet rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, meats, and dairy products.

Arsenal Charity Ball raises over £250,000
On Thursday, May 10, Arsenal Football Club hosted its Annual Charity Ball, which in the Club's 125th year celebrated the launch of The Arsenal Foundation. The event raised over£250,000 which will help deliver even more Arsenal projects to motivate and inspire young people.
The Club's flagship fundraising event saw the Arsenal manager and first team come together at Emirates Stadium with a host of special guests to help raise funds and celebrate the work undertaken in the Arsenal community and its support for charitable causes.
Last night's fundraising extravaganza saw a live performance from chart-toppers Rizzle Kicks and a menu of fine food designed by Raymond Blanc who also attended the event.
Sotheby's auctioneer, Philip Hook, led the live grand auction with a private dinner with Arsène Wenger fetching £20,000, while a signed boot from Gunners legend Thierry Henry went to the highest bidder, Robin van Persie, for £13,000. Renowned DJ Judge Jules rounded off the evening with a set in the exclusive WM Club.
As a grant-making charity, The Arsenal Foundation will focus largely on education and sport programmes to help young people reach their potential and be the best they can. The diverse work of Arsenal in the Community and the Club's global partnership with Save the Children will be supported by The Foundation to grow the reach and help even more young people globally.
Arsenal Football Club has a long history of helping others through charitable partnerships and of using the power of the Arsenal name to positively engage its community in a meaningful way. The Arsenal Foundation will ensure that the Club's long legacy of helping young people to fulfil their potential continues for many more years to come.

tech-business-idea cocktail 4 your mind

About Me Designer, Developer
Best Uses
Tim O'Reilly in a Nutshell is a mixture of Tim's writings that you can find them at Tim O'Reilly's "blog" - http://tim.oreilly.com. Inside the PDF you will find the picks that are really interesting among huge selection of his articles.Book is divided into three parts, each treats different aspects of doing business: technology, publishing, business and life. These different points of view are not meaningless. Technology is a part of our lives today. We can't work without it. Without technology, we can't create efficient results fast, we can't even "think" without it. In fact, if we assume that distributed cognition is a valid thesis, we can say that today's technology can be treated as part of our minds. When it comes to the publishing, you can find here some thoughts regarding Open Source related issues, DRM related topics - in general, how to deal with the problem of ownership of the ideas. Section devoted to business and life is the weakest one but still it contains one, very interesting article - "Books That Have Shaped My Thinking". It is worth do get this book for the article itself. Another thing is, that going over the book you can find information you were not aware of. For example, that there is Open Books project at O'Reilly (http://oreilly.com/openbook/).When it comes to my personal feelings regarding the book, I can say from my personal perspective only. I am Open Source developer, philosopher, and person devoted to Linux/Mac OS X. What I can tell about pics for the book is that they might be interesting for geeks as well as for people who are interested what's behind the mind who created O'Reilly Media. Reading some articles within the book, I can tell that I fell like at home. I have become Mac addict recently (after more than eleven years of working with Linux only), I prefer Open Source over closed one (I make a living through Open Sourced projects), I prefer DRM free music over protected one and I don't like to type in password or to have my PDF files watermarked after I had bought them. This is why, I think, book fits me.In general, this is interesting book. Even though only first two parts caught my attention to the maximum I still think it is worth looking at. A real advantage is that you can get it for free! Free as in free beer! So, basically saying, you don't risk a thing. If you find this book unsuitable for you, simply put it somewhere at your "PDF shelf". If your attitude is similar to Tim's, I am pretty sure this book will stand somewhere between books that have shaped your mind.

Prescribed details required from the South African Revenue Service on a tax invoices
Tax invoices must ordinarily reflect all the following details (Section 20(4)):
JOHANNESBURG. 20 February 2009
South African Airways has today implemented a full contingency plan to minimise disruptions to passengers after the South African Transport and Allied Workers Union (Satawu) embarked on industrial action.
Customers are advised that at this stage, SAA's operations are unaffected but some disruptions may occur today.
The industrial action follows a dispute declared this week by Satawu relating to three issues. Satawu demands that the payment of retention premiums be extended to all employees, and that SAA immediately halts the use of labour brokers.
SAA remains committed to continued engagement with union leadership in an effort to resolve the current impasse. The airline trusts that the union will appreciate the importance of such continued engagement.
SAA will keep customers informed on an ongoing basis regarding how the strike may affect operations.
