Almost 2year old Diagnosed with Level 1 Dysplasia
I'm really new to all this but we had some issues with my GSD and his legs and we thought it might have been Lyme disease but when we brought him in and had some xrays done (No I don't have the xrays as PDF / SCAN)
I understand that this is Grade 1 and its not the end of the world, but I don't know how to proceed, he's still abit sore I think he bounces around and acts like a puppy outside when we're out there but I don't know how much excerise to give him... his favorite game is Tug of war which we rarely play now but he tries to engage in it a lot, last night we played a bit but instead of pulling against him I walked towards him so he was always "Winning" but we didn't do that for more than 2-3minutes.
I just don't know how to play with him don't know if it can get worse don't know what to do at all... is there a stupid mans site on this.
My wife runs a daycare and the dog cannot be in the house while the daycare is running for legal reasons (I just don't want anything to happen to child or dog) so he used to stay outside in his kennel all year round (Which has an insulated dog house an electric dog heating pad that only turns on when he's on it and the whole kennel is surrounded by Plastic walls and a tin roof. But the patio stones still get cold and the dork sits on them (On his hip a lazy puppy sit) watching the birds ... I know we can create him until I come home but is there anything I can do to his kennel to make it better for him? Or is the Kennel now only a summer / spring / fall thing...
This older thread http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...dysplasia.html has many helpful suggestions in addition to recommending a dog bed.
I'm so sorry!
Ask your vet about Adequan shots. It could help slow down the progression.
Adequan - posssibly an answer for dogs with joint damage
Thanks everyone sorry I haven't been back in awhile. Draven is doing very well... in fact after that one bad episode we haven't seen any problems with his hips, though we limit exercise during the week to shorter more often games of "fetch" and very gentle games of "Tug" we try to limit jumping all together.
His sister comes over once a week and they tear around the yard but he never has problems getting up afterwards though he certainly doses alot after she comes but he gets up and trots around the house no shaky back legs or discomfort that we can see.
I tell you it would be so much easier if they could talk and just say "Ouch"
Swimming is great exercise for any GSD - and especially one with less than ideal hips.....
Many many dogs with low level HD live great, long lives...I know of dogs with worse HD getting schutzhund titles and other titles.....keep him lean, exercise to keep up muscle strength, supplement (Carmen - Carmspack is very knowledgable about this, and is in Canada and sells supplements as well!!!)....
As far as beds in the outdoor kennel - a roverpet or kuranda style "hammock" bed is probably the best way to give them a resting place that is supportive and off the ground....both are brand names and there are probably other brands as well.
thanks Lee!
go back to the breeder . Go back to the breeder and let them know, and exercise your GUARANTEE.

I think the no cost service on '11s and '12s only covers oil and filter change, and inspection.
Good grief, another Arizona based v wagon....
But seems to me that if the warranty is as ironclad as it appears, there is no way GM lets them skimp on those lube items that will cost a fortune to replace.
Hey guys,
Being a previous M3 owner, BMW would change your engine oil & dif oil at 1200, so when I saw this thread it made sense. I changed my engine oil at 1468 miles, it was pretty dark, I also changed the dif oil which wasn't bad at all, the magnetic plug was pretty clean also. But then again, I do not drive the car hard at all, maybe floored it once or twice.
I worked in a GM/Cadillac Dealership for three years while attending college. I saw every bit of such tampering and more. We took delivery of one Sedan DeVille that only had seven pistons with associated connecting Paraphenalia.
Duh!!!!! Yes it barely ran. How about a crushed pop can in the oil Crank Case! I am sorry that you "never heard of them selling the fluids to make some cash" in view of the far more likely alternative being to divert fluids for personal use easily. Or possibly the Tech is just a total A-Hole?
"...how would you know?" Mr. Zippy!
Do you believe that the service charges listed (Installed Transmission Fluid to just one quart low. Ha! Ha!")
".. ...trust is such a big factor ..... . especially in a service oriented industries like finance [shall we review the Banking and Mortgage industry here?] ... .... ." Thanks for crediting me with the brain power of a bag of Door Knobs.
Insert LAST WORD! here.
just because you have witnessed some bad/unethical things in the past does not mean that those bad things are currently happening
yes, anything's possible and anything could happen
yes, obviously the people that do bad things are not good people
yes, some repair shops screw their customers to pad the bottom line
but to try and say that this bad behavior runs rampant or is common is either ignorance or malice
also, don't take everything I say so personally. If it's not specifically directed at you (referencing you) then it is probably meant for everyone.
...and where did I credit you with anything?
While on a dyno jet last week we noticed collant leaking, turns out it was through the oem cap for the intercooler. They replaced the cap, and discovered an oil pan leak, replaced the gasket.
Went back to dyno, no more leaks. They are mod friendly, all parts were stock.
"yes, anything's possible and anything could happen." And, I am merely a dilusional and lying flock.
Your certified last word, indeed, epitomizes this Master of the Obvious recant:rant2:, not necessarily representing opportunities that Nepotism may provide. Fortunately the object of your post is not intended to degrade all of those others that have expressed belittling reports reflecting upon ones' own past trivial experience.
You are so fortunate to work within an environment that excludes such disdainful and unworthy persons that might reflect poorly upon your own higher noble character. Is one paranoid, if malicious people really consider them to be an idiot?
To clarify my perspective, I must begin my POST with:
"Everyone, except for myself [and Chris of course], is ... .... ......!"
Emphasis of a noble cause is also best expressed by avoiding the Convention of Capitalizing the first word of a sentence.
Thank you. SIR.
oh, and thanks for replying a bit quicker this time... i was nice not having to wait three months for your reply
ok... have a nice day :wave:
can you please explain why you're so hostile? what did i do? is my grammar/punctuation really that offensive?
i re-read this thread that spans 14 months so far trying to figure it out but i just got more confused
i was happy to think that you were just being gruff and surly but now i think you just hate me and i have no idea why
truthfully, it bothers me a little but i'll be fine
DONE THAT BUTT.check engine light& trac contro light come on wont run over 5 mph runs rough as heck , had to unhook battery now dealer says he cant find the problem..3500 miles on it has happened 4 times already..anyone?
do you have another dealer to try?
Doug, please let me know if you'd like me to follow up with your dealership or locate alternative dealers in your area (as Rippy suggested)! I'm available anytime via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Cadillac Customer Service
Does this apply to 2012 CTS-V's? I'm buying a relatively new one at 4kish miles and I wonder if I should take it to get checked out.
either way you should definitely take it to get checked out
you never know what you might find ...
we just worked on a 2011 STS with 4,000 miles on it that was an enterprise car that got wrecked and had a salvage title
current owner purchased it knowing of the salvage title (getting a pretty good deal for what appeared to be a STS in great shape)
well it turns out something wasn't right in the steering so they brought it in to us and we found a bent steering gear and loose steering column bolts
just a cautionary tale

NCAA West Regional Tournament Central
EUGENE, Ore. - The Tennessee men's golf team will make its 15th consecutive NCAA Regional appearance on Thursday at the Eugene Country Club in Eugene, Ore. The Vols are the No. 8 seed in the West Region.
Shooting for his eighth trip to the NCAA Championship, head coach Jim Kelson will use the starting lineup of sophomore Oliver Goss, senior Danny Keddie, senior Brandon Rodgers, freshman Jack Smith, and sophomore Michael Nagy. The lineup has only been used once this season when the Volunteers played the Floridian Invitational.
The 2014 NCAA Eugene Regional lineup has a combined five regional appearances (Keddie - 2 and Goss, Nagy, Rodgers - 1 each).
"We are excited to be here," Kelson said. "This course is one of the nicest I've seen. The folks here are doing an outstanding job. Everything is beautiful. We are going to be ready to go out there and compete."
The Volunteers were led to the Pacific Northwest by Goss, the No. 10 ranked amateur in the world. The field at the NCAA Eugene Regional is well aware of Goss' accomplishments.
"Oliver is a pretty special player," Oregon head coach Casey Martin said. "He's one of the top-ranked amateurs in the world and finished in 49th-place at The Masters."
Action on the par-70, 6,990 yards course is slated to begin on Thursday, May 15, and end on Saturday, May 17. Tennessee is scheduled to tee off Thursday morning at 8:55 a.m. local time (11:55 a.m. ET). The Vols will be paired with Oregon and North Florida.
The state of Tennessee will be well represented at the Eugene Country Club this weekend. In addition to the Vols, ETSU (No. 10 seed) and Chattanooga (No. 11) made the trip out west for the NCAA Regional.

Fisheries Management in Public Waters
Fish Kill Investigations, Technical Assistance and Environmental Reviews
Fisheries personnel investigate, on the average, 45 fish kills per year during which over 200,000 fish die. These fish kills, if caused by pollution, are reported to the Environmental Protection Division for enforcement action. Fisheries biologists assist the Environmental Protection Division in enforcing provisions of Georgia's Erosion and Sedimentation Control law by evaluating the ecological impacts of projects proposed in stream buffers.
Fisheries management assistance is provided each year to agencies such as the DNR Parks, Recreation and Historic Sites Division, to the Jekyll Island and Stone Mountain authorities, and to cities, counties and to military bases. In addition, the Section staff reviews permits and applications for water supply lakes, flood control projects, drinking water intakes, power plants, and numerous other developmental activities, all of which often impact the state's fisheries resources. The Section recommends actions which will help protect or enhance fish populations and sport fishing activities when these development activities occur.

The Transalpine Redemptorists have worked closely with the Society of St Pius X but are also informally pursuing avenues of discussion with Rome. Fr Michael Mary CSSR and Fr Anthony Mary CSSR have this week published a "Declaration on Relations with Rome" (headed Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us!)
There will doubtless be considerable controversy about this declaration within traditionalist circles but I have to say that I found it a moving expression of sincere desire to be in a regular canonical situation. They speak of the problems that have plagued the Church since Vatican II and then say (referring to Summorum Pontificum)
But now we must ask ourselves if a glimmer of light has not begun to show through the clouds of confusion that for many years have darkened the sky of eternal Rome. For we now have a Pontiff, a successor of Peter, ready to allow us to adhere fully to this timeless tradition of the Church and its complete expression in Catholic life without apparent compromise. He seems ready to "let us do the experiment of Tradition" as Archbishop Lefebvre asked so many years ago.Their blog is not all about relations with Rome - there is much about daily life in the Community at Papa Stronsay. There can be some fairly severe weather up there and one pastime is to go storm walking:
There is also an account of the funeral of Brother Michael Alban FMS, a Marist brother who had moved to Orkney. His requiem Mass was at Stronsay and he was buried on Papa Stronsay. The hearse was drawn the mile or so from the pier by a donkey:
Well I decided to put the blog on the blogroll (cf. also the "Disclaimer (of sorts)" on the sidebar.) I encourage you to pray that there will be a good outcome to their prudent and charitable deliberations without causing any unnecessary division among traditionalists. Besides, I'm just delighted to see that there are traditional Redemptorists following in the footsteps of one of my favourite saints. The picture of St Alphonsus at the top of this post is one that I took from their blog - it is not one I have seen before.

Do you work for a company that has developed valuable intellectual property related to technology? If not, then you probably have little reason to worry about the now infamous APT1 team of the People's Liberation Army of China paying your network a visit. Very likely they aren't interested.
But if your company has goodies of this type to steal -- that includes tech startups, by the way -- your defenses may already have been breached by APT1. And the chances are slim that anyone in your company knows about it. According to the 2012 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, 92 percent of all security incidents were discovered by a third party because most companies are horrible at detecting malicious activity. Mandiant, the security firm whose report raised the alarm, supports the finding, noting that most victims of APT1 were compromised for nearly a year before discovery.
[ The top 10 questions about the People's Liberation Army's cyber attacks | Learn how to greatly reduce the threat of malicious attacks with InfoWorld's Insider Threat Deep Dive PDF special report. | Stay up to date on the latest security developments with InfoWorld's Security Central newsletter. ]
Mandiant is a credible source. It has been tracking what Chinese APT teams do, how they do it, and what they are interested in for more than a decade. Most of the companies I know that found out they'd been compromised by a Chinese APT attack were notified by Mandiant or one of the U.S. government agencies working with Mandiant.
How to tell if you're a victim
If your company doesn't yet know whether it is compromised, what can you do? I've covered this topic before, but in a nutshell, you need to know what programs are running on each of the computers under your control. Crazy, I know, but dare to dream.
I'm also a big believer in honeypots: Put a fake undefended computer out there and wait for the APT to connect to it. Anytime I've implemented a honeypot in a production environment, it has always captured malicious connections by way of previously undetected hackers or malware in a short period of time. One of my best-selling books is "Honeypots for Windows," and I've frequently written about them in this column over the years, most often in the context of insider threats. Unfortunately, many people think honeypots are just interesting toys.
But you don't even need honeypots to discover APT, although it does make it easier. The "advanced" part of APTs is in how continuously methodic they are in attacking their targets. They should be; it's their full-time job. But they aren't necessarily skilled at hiding or using zero-day tools. Most of the time, if you just looked and knew enough about your environment to know what is supposed to be running in it, you would find them.
The Verizon report says that over 90 percent of victims had the signs of compromise in their logs if they would've looked. Further, it states, "97 percent of breaches were avoidable through simple or intermediate controls." Those statistics aren't new. Verizon has been publishing similar statistics for as long as it has been releasing the report.
The only missing piece is for us to take action. It's our continued inaction in the face of overwhelming, continuous evidence that makes our enemies smile, whether they're looking to steal money, intellectual property, or state secrets.

NIH-funded study seeks long-lived families to help discover secrets of long and healthy life
Long, healthy life tends to run in some families, and researchers on a project supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) want to learn more about the factors that contribute to it. The Long Life Family Study (LLFS), developed by the NIH's National Institute on Aging (NIA), is now recruiting families to participate in this study.
This study will be conducted by researchers at three sites in the United States and one in Denmark. Potential U.S. participants will be recruited from areas close to the LLFS study centers at Columbia University in New York City, the University of Pittsburgh and Boston University. Potential Danish participants will be recruited by researchers at the University of Southern Denmark, using information from the Danish National Population Registry. Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis will act as the Data Management and Coordinating Center.
LLFS researchers are seeking a large number of families with several long-lived members for this study and are particularly interested in hearing from families with at least two living members aged 80 years or older and their living children who reside near the study site locations of Pittsburgh, Boston or New York. Trained clinical staff members will meet with study participants to ask questions about their family and health history and conduct some performance and physical assessments. Study participants will also be asked for a small blood sample to obtain genetic information to help determine the role that genes might play in long healthy survival, in addition to many other factors.
"Other studies have indicated that longevity tends to run in families. The planned LLFS is designed to determine the genetic and environmental factors that contribute to longevity and to the ability to escape diseases normally associated with aging such as Alzheimer's disease, cancer, stroke and heart disease," said Richard J. Hodes, M.D., NIA director.
Winifred K. Rossi, deputy director of NIA's Geriatrics and Clinical Gerontology Program and the NIA program official for the five-year, $18 million project said, "Families are often very proud of their long-lived relatives. This study will provide the opportunity for long-lived families to share information about their lives that contributes to their long and healthy survival. The knowledge gained from these families can help us understand what makes them unique and can lead to scientific insights to help other people improve the length of time they spend in good health." The scientific results of the study will be made public once the information obtained is analyzed, said Rossi. The privacy of study participants and their information will be carefully protected, she emphasized.
The study's lead investigators, prominent in longevity and genetic research, are:
- Thomas Perls, M.D., Ph.D., director of the New England Centenarian Study and Associate Professor of Medicine, Geriatrics Section, Department of Medicine, Boston University, Boston;
- Richard Mayeux, M.D., Gertrude H. Sergievsky Professor of Neurology, Psychiatry and Epidemiology at Columbia University and director of the Gertrude H. Sergievsky Center and the co-director of the Taub Institute for Research on Alzheimer's Disease and the Aging Brain, New York;
- Anne B. Newman, M.D., M.P.H., Professor of Epidemiology and Medicine in the Department of Epidemiology at the University of Pittsburgh;
- James W. Vaupel, Ph.D., Executive Director of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Rostock, Germany, and director of the Program on Population, Policy and Aging at the Terry Sanford Institute of Public Policy at Duke University, Durham, N. C.;
- Kaare Christensen, M.D., Ph.D, Professor of Epidemiology, Institute of Public Health at the University of Southern Denmark and senior research scientist at the Terry Sanford Institute of Public Policy at Duke University, Durham, N. C. and,
- Michael A. Province, Ph.D., Professor of Genetics and Biostatistics, and Director of the Division of Statistical Genomics in the Genome Sciences Center of Washington University in St. Louis, Mo.

True, insects seem to be everywhere, but your house should be an exception. Even so, it's not always easy to keep them out. They will fly, crawl, or burrow into the smallest openings in search of food and shelter. You can take care of insects in your house, and help keep them out, with the following tips.
Before you go after your bugs, you have to know what they're after. Some bugs, such as ants, hunt for overlooked crumbs on your floor and countertops. Moths like to munch on your sweaters. Silverfish like to go through a good book, but not the way you do. And some bugs, like fleas and mosquitoes, simply want your blood. Your job is to keep insects from getting the food they want.
Be sure to sweep your floors and wipe off your countertops to keep ants from marching in. Store cereal, dried food, and cookies in sealed containers. Grain moths love that stuff. Leaving fruit out almost guarantees a visit from gnats, so keep it in the refrigerator, if possible. Clothes made from natural fabrics attract moths, so store them in plastic bags or use moth balls. Since bugs like moisture, look for small leaks under the sink. Treat your dog and cat with a flea preventer to avoid a flea infestation in your house. Also, seal up any holes or cracks around windows and doors, and make sure your screens are in good condition.
Outdoor bugs can quickly become indoor bugs if you don't control them on their turf. You can use liquid or granular control products to control bugs that want to crawl into the house. If you have wasps or hornets, you want to kill them around their nest.
Ready-to-use sprays, such as Ortho� Home Defense MAX� Perimeter and Indoor Insect Killer, are great for treating small exterior areas around windows and doors, as well as on hard surfaces. For your foundation, try Ortho� Home Defense MAX� Outdoor Perimeter Insect Killer Ready-Spray with a hose-end sprayer.
Granular products are made for soft surfaces, such as the mulch and earth around the perimeter of your house. Ortho� Home Defense MAX� Insect Killer Granules is an example of this type of product. It can kill and prevent bugs for up to 3 months.
If you have termites outside near the house, you can help keep them from getting in with a
trenching treatment, such as Ortho�
Home Defense MAX� Termite and Destructive Bug Killer*. Following the directions on the
label, you create a barrier around the perimeter of your house to discourage termites from
getting in. If they are inside your house, you'll need to call a professional.
*This product is not labeled for trenching in MA, NY, and RI.
Everybody gets nervous when a wasp or hornet nest is discovered near the house. Spraying them can be a little scary, especially since they fly out of the nest when it's attacked. A good solution is Ortho� Home Defense MAX� Wasp and Hornet Killer. When you spray the insects, the foaming aerosol kills on contact, plus it helps trap insects in the nest. Just be sure to follow the directions on the label.

I've spent the last couple weeks with an hour or two here and there (in between work and other real life issues) working on this jet pack (waiting on warmer weather to get outside and do more spraypainting and fiberglassing on the rest of my parts). So, I thought i'd post pics here. Keep in mind I am NOT going for screen accurate here (as nice as that would be) .. just something as close as i can with limited resources and skills that would make an amazing halloween costume, maybe even for local christmas parades.
The entire thing is made (so far) out of Foamboard (DIsplay board from the craft store) and PVC/ABS pipe, along with Goop, Solvent Free Contact cement (goop apparently eats the foam .. oops) and some LocTite Powergrip adhesive, then Bondo Glazing Putty.
I used WoF's templates (slightly modified) for everything as well btw. Amazing source!
Anyway, I'm open for critisism and suggestions.

Alma Mater
Lyrics by Louis Nappen, '90, 92
Symbol of our skills and virtues,
Herald of our dignity;
With these praises we salute you,
Growing with each generation,
Forming ties that will remain.
Forging true our lives' foundations
With each goal that we attain.
Soaring from the
Upon the wind our wings unfurled.
High above the ocean's roar,
The blue Hawks rise to meet the world.
The Alma Mater is played everyday at 11:45 a.m. on the University's Carillion (bells), located in the
Fight for Dear Old Monmouth
Music and lyrics by Dr. Gilbert Fell, Ph.D., 1997
Fight for dear old Monmouth
Let's fight and do our best.
On fields of play we'll triumph,
When we're put to the test.
The Hawks will go a-soaring,
Victors o'er the rest.
Fight for dear old Monmouth;
We ride the blue wave's crest.
Ride the blue wave's crest.

ADPH Home | Download Adobe Reader
The Alabama Lead Contractors Certification Program is a statewide program authorized by Act No. 97-553. The Lead Reduction Act of 1997 established the procedures for certification of contractors or firms that perform lead-based paint inspections, risk assessments, abatement, and renovation activities in target housing (pre-1978) and child-occupied facilities.
This program also requires that all persons engaged in lead-based paint activities (abatement or renovation) in target housing and child-occupied facilities be properly trained, that training programs are accredited, that firms are certified, and that all lead-based paint activities be performed by accredited individuals of certified firms according to the prescribed work practice standards contained in these rules.
The Alabama Lead Contractor Certification Program consists of Lead Hazard Reduction Contractor Certification (Abatement) and Alabama Lead Renovation Contractor Certification.
The Beason-Hammon Alabama Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act requires every person or sole proprietorship applying for certain licenses or permits to either demonstrate U.S. citizenship, or, if the person is an alien, to prove lawful presence in this country. The Alabama Department of Public Health will verify an applicants immigration status or naturalized/derived citizenship status using the SAVE Program.
To comply with this law, ADPH requires the following for an initial permit or renewal application:
A business entity must provide a Declaration of Business Ownership Structure if the type of ownership or business entity is not clearly indicated on the application.
ADPH will only verify the status of the individual who is licensed or permitted. Demonstration of U.S. citizenship or lawful permanent residence is only required one time.
Notwithstanding any rule provision previously adopted by the State Board of Health, pursuant to Code of Ala. 1975, § 41-1-11, the Department of Public Health shall collect fees for the services as set out below.
Lead hazard Reduction Contractor Certification (Abatement, Inspector and/or Risk Assessor, Designer) 1. Initial Application Fee: $3002. Annual Renewall Fee: $2403. ReplacementCertificate: $304. Project Fees:
Lead Renovation Contractor Certification1. Initial Application Fee: $3002. Annual Renewall Fee: $3003. ReplacementCertificate: $30
The Alabama Department of Public Health references this guidance from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding Certified Renovator regulations during emergency response following a natural disaster. If you have any questions please contact Sal Gray at 1-334-206-5373.
The Alabama Department of Public Health's Lead Hazard Reduction Contractor Certification rules took effect on September 5, 1998. Under this certification, the University of Alabama's Safe State environmental program accredits and registers individual lead professionals such as lead inspectors, lead risk assessors, training providers, lead abatement supervisors, lead abatement workers, and lead abatement project designers.
The Alabama Department of Public Health certifies lead abatement firms and provides enforcement of all state lead regulations. Further, these rules establish requirements for abatement project notifications, abatement work practices, and for record keeping.
The Environmental Protection Agencys (EPA) Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) rules took effect on April 22, 2010. The University of Alabamas Safe State Environmental Program and the Alabama Department of Public Health have modified and promulgated Alabamas lead rules to allow the state to take over the RRP program as part of its current Lead-Based Paint Contractor Accreditation Program.
On February 17, 2010, the Alabama Lead Contractor Certification Program received approval from the Alabama State Committee on Public Health to seek EPA authorization to administer and enforce the lead-based paint RRP rules for the State of Alabama in lieu of the EPA. The Renovation Contractor Certification, Chapter 420-3-29, establish requirements for certifying renovators, dust sampling technicians, and renovation firms. Further, these rules establish requirements for renovation project notifications, pre-renovation education requirements, renovation work practices, and for record keeping.
As of November 16, 2010, individuals seeking to become Certified Renovators and/or Dust Sampling Technicians in Alabama must apply through Alabamas Safe State Environmental Program for accreditation. For applications, information, training provider listings, call 1-800-421-7141.
If you have an EPA Certification for Renovation Contractor Firm, it is no longer valid in Alabama. You must obtain Alabama Certification to operate in Alabama. As of November 16, 2010, the Alabama Department of Public Health began accepting renovation and sampling technician firms applications for certification (license). Applications, project notifications and forms of compliance assistance can be found on our Forms page.
Renovation and sampling technician firms that presently hold an EPA certification will be granted a one-year reciprocity term from the date when the firm was issued certification from EPA. However, the firm must submit an application to the Alabama Department of Public Health to preclude any regulatory violations. All rule requirements for renovation project notifications, pre-renovation education requirements, renovation work practices, and record keeping rules still apply.
We are currently in the process of developing an online application process with the ability to accept credit/debit cards which we hope to make available in the future.
To better understanding the difference between lead abatement and renovation please review Clarification on Renovation Versus Abatement.

Hi All,
I met Alan Harris this weekend, he's better known for playing Bossk in ESB but it turns out he also posed for costume fittings of the Super Trooper and he told me that the costume had a working flame thrower in the left gauntlet that was activated by a switch on the side of the flame thrower. It would spit flames up to 6 feet and he had to wear 2 cylinders on his back.
Can anyone confirm this?

U.S. Forest Service tree cutting permits now available
November 10, 2012
Christmas tree permits are now available at all Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest offices in Colorado and Wyoming for $10.
Each permit allows for the cutting of one tree on National Forest System Lands. There is a limit of five permits per household. Trees must be for personal use, not for resale. The permit must be clearly displayed around the stem of the tree before leaving the cutting area.
The Forest Service would like to emphasize that cutting trees is prohibited in all Wilderness areas on the Medicine Bow and Routt National Forests. Additionally, tree cutting is not allowed in any part of the Pole Mountain Unit of the Laramie Ranger District.
With each passing year of the bark beetle epidemic, the threat of falling trees increases; therefore, all forest visitors are reminded to pay attention to weather forecasts, avoid areas with beetle-killed trees on high wind days and be aware of their surroundings. Weather conditions can change quickly, so be prepared. Dress for winter conditions and have your vehicle equipped adequately.
Christmas tree cutting has taken place on the Medicine Bow and Routt National Forests for many decades and there remains an abundance of young trees for visitors to establish and continue traditions. Tree cutting regulations have been established to maintain a healthy forest environment and sustainable forest management program.
For more information, contact your local Forest Service office or visit http://www.fs.usda.gov.

Hello everyone, well this is the start (officially), I first set out and purchased a Bobamaker helmet, the wait time for that was 3 months (due this month, may), so i thought i would keep busy and keep focused on that distant goal line, so while scouring this site for knowledge and deciding the hows and the which's I stumbled upon a thread, cant remember who, but I thought i would try to build my armor as he did out of a garbage bin!
Check my thread here.... http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f20/a...-thread-44262/
It went quite well but I guess i kinda knew it wasn't up to scratch and would be a little thin looking. Still a good idea, but it was proving a little difficult to make the back plate. It was then I realised this wasn't what I wanted at all, then I stumbled upon the awesome RKD thread, and realised it was a possibility to purchase quality armor at an affordable price. So I have to say, the best choice i have made thus far! I thoroughly recommend RKD, the armor is awesome and Will is an absolute delight to do business with. So as all this beautiful armor is sitting in front of me I had better get started! Please feel free to comment give advice, I really want to get this as accurate as I possibly can! So im going to need a LOT of help! Hahaha!

August 2nd 2011
Big fettpride box arrives today.
I am going to be starting on this momentarily, however I wanted to take the time and write an email regarding fettpride (Chris) and his products.
This is not for the faint of heart so don't read any further if you don't like long posts.
So just after Celebration V here in Orlando I signed up here at the dented helmet. I sat back for almost a year and just read. Is this project going to be feasible for me to complete on my own as a hobby, what was it going to cost, etc...
I decided I was finally going to make this happen. So in digging around I gathered names of all of the people I wanted to make purchases from and set off.
Now one of my biggest decisions to make of course was the helmet and armor. I mean that's what makes Boba Fett, Boba Fett, right?
Though my perusing of these forums, I came across this guy named fettpride. I instantly, loved his work from what I saw here in completed pictures, and I was leaning very, very strongly towards purchasing from him. So I save my pennies, and call in my IOU's, finally ready to make my purchase.
What happens? Dum dum dum dum......
Day I'm about to make my purchase, I start stumbling across a bunch of posts about fettpride. NEGATIVE POSTS. Everything from he is ripping off forum members, to not seeing any products for a year. So I'm thinking red light, red light stop the presses.
I wait a little bit and see Chris post to these forums, and maybe unlike some, I read every word of his posts. :) Why? Because I'm about to drop close to a grand on helmet, armor, gauntlets. After reading everything I decided to email Chris directly and ask him a few questions.
I won't go into everything I asked, but Chris was very responsive to my PM's as well as told me expected timeframes upfront. So I said after talking with some other members that own his stuff. "Let's go for it."
Now I ordered a GMH from him, gauntlets, and full set of armor.
I'm here to now say Chris not only met, but exceeded my expectations on everything. My box arrived today well within the stated timeframe. Chris provided me in advance a tracking number, as well as expected arrival date. Guess what arrived a day early.
Every piece that I pulled out of the box is perfect. I am extremely happy with my purchase. So I'm writing all of this why?
Can't I just post "I got my armor, look at me. Yay!"
Well I could post that, but too many times people only post a review on something when it is a negative experience, and when it is a positive experience they get lazy and the review gets lost by the wayside because they aren't acting on that strong emotion.
Anyway in closing I just want to say "Thank you" to Chris "fettpride" I am you new #1 fan.
To anyone that is looking for some great products Chris is top notch.
Oh if you got this far. Thanks for reading too.
Lastly, if someone can point me in the right direction for trimming this armor, especially the gauntlets (I'm so afraid I'm going to cut the wrong area) please send the link or directions my way.

Dane Stangler has never owned a small business, and doesn't expect to ever own one. But he's in a position to understand the challenges facing people who own small companies.
Stangler is the director of the Research & Policy department at the Ewing Marion Kaufmann Foundation. His job is to help the foundation determine how it can encourage and mentor entrepreneurs. His department conducts research and surveys and analyzes studies done by researchers at other institutions. So he is familiar with the issues that entrepreneurs and small businesses face.
The Kauffman foundation was started in the mid-1960s by Ewing Marion Kauffman, founder of the pharmaceutical firm Marion Laboratories (now part of the French drug maker Sanofi) and baseball's Kansas City Royals. Part of the foundation's mission is to foster entrepreneurship, something it does through grants and research.
The foundation draws what Stangler calls a blurry distinction between entrepreneurs, the people who start companies or run young enterprises, and small businesses, which Kauffman sees as companies that have made it past their early years. Some small business issues, like income taxes, aren't a problem for entrepreneurs whose businesses may not be making a profit, Stangler notes. But small companies of all sizes face some of the same problems: the weak economy and the prospect of federal budget cuts.
Stangler went into research at Kauffman after graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Madison law school in 2004. Ask him if he ever expects to have his own business, and he laughs, saying that his wife Katie, a pediatric nurse practitioner, is more likely to be the family entrepreneur, perhaps starting a crafts business.
Stangler spoke recently with The Associated Press as Congress was haggling about the fiscal cliff, the combination of billions of dollars in tax increases and budget cuts scheduled to go into effect Jan. 1. Economists have warned that if Congress doesn't prevent those tax increases and budget cuts from going into effect, the country will be at risk of going into a recession. And it's believed that small businesses would suffer the most.
Here are excerpts from the interview with Stangler, edited for clarity and brevity:
Q. How important is government policy for small business owners?
A. If you are a business owner, your primary concerns probably have to do with your business. Policy impacts at the margins but I still think that for most entrepreneurs and for most business owners, their top concerns are still customer demand, because consumer spending is still making its way back. Households are still deleveraging. Policy is very important, but getting sales, getting customers, running your business, dealing with employees probably still dominate the daily thinking of a lot of business owners. Policy obviously impacts that, but not always centrally.
When you do get into policy concerns that either are, could be, or should be at the top of a business owner's mind, I think tax policy is probably the biggest one because tax rates are about to go up and that's important because so many small business are taxed at personal income rates like S corporations and sole proprietors.
There's a lot of disagreement in the literature, both academic and nonacademic research, about the impact of tax rates on business owners how many businesses are actually subject to those rising individual tax rates. ... We worked with a company called Thumbtack.com on a survey of 6,000 businesses and individuals. One of the things our researchers dove into was the impact of taxes. And we released a paper in October that said it's not necessarily the level of taxes (that's the problem). That doesn't matter, because no one expects to pay no tax. It's the sheer complexity of dealing with taxes. So it's not necessarily the rate, it's just the burden, the time burden, the money burden of compliance, and not knowing all the different kinds of taxes you're subject to. Depending on the type of business, you're going to have local taxes, municipal taxes, county fees, state, federal. Our tax code is just a continuing full employment act for accountants and lawyers. It obviously adds something to the economy, but it's also itself a tax on people who are trying to create other forms of wealth.
Q. What is the biggest issue with the fiscal cliff?
A. The fiscal cliff is not only about the tax code. It's just the uncertainty. I know that's a catchall term that everyone uses, but it's for real this time. Everyone always says businesses hate to deal with uncertainty, and it kind of has a hollow ring to it because just the nature of running a business, you're always dealing with uncertainty. But at times like this, when politicians have manufactured a crisis, this is serious uncertainty, because no one knows how it's going to change. If we do go over the cliff, we're sort of going to get whipsawed because the Internal Revenue Service is preparing for the government going over the cliff, putting in place all the new tax forms, and then, six weeks later, when they reach a deal, we're going back to the way things were. That uncertainty and that expectation of being whipsawed back or forth is really a serious issue, whether or not you're worried about higher rates. It's just that hassle of dealing with all this.
Q. Is there any long-term damage done by this kind of situation to small business?
A. There are probably very few people, especially among the community of entrepreneurs and business owners and potential entrepreneurs now who would bet against the long-term strength of the U.S. economy. We've obviously got challenges. But there's very few people who would bet against the U.S. in the long term. That is borne out by the fact that we continue to see a strong level of entrepreneurial activity people starting business. That act is itself a signal of optimism and confidence in the U.S. and its long-term growth.
Q. No matter how the cliff is resolved, it's expected that eventually, there will be billions of dollars in cuts to the federal budget? What will be the impact on small business?
A. It's probably finally dawning on lots of people, especially on the political right, what a large portion of the economy government spending is. In say, the 1960s, (a percentage of) government spending was what's called productive spending the highway system, universities, infrastructure, and entitlements. What could be classified as consumptive spending entitlements (like Social Security) then were a small share. Now it's radically different. Entitlements are a gigantic chunk and productive spending is really decreasing as a percentage of government spending. Nonetheless, that decreasing share of productive spending and even that consumptive spending on entitlements, that's still a massive chunk of the U.S. economy. And there are tons of U.S. businesses dependent on the government.
Inc. magazine every year does a list of the fastest growing companies. Government services dominated the list in the last decade. Washington D.C. is the top metro area for Inc. 500 companies since 2000. If a substantial of that is cut, you'll have a massive effect not just on small businesses, but innovative, fast-growing companies. History certainly shows that government spending, whether it was through contracts or through research grants or whatever, has certainly played a very important role in innovation and economic growth. National Institutes of Health-funded research at universities is hugely important. Small Business Innovation Research grants at federal agencies are hugely important. It's not simply the case that government spending equates with waste. It has its own role to play in an innovative economy.
Q. What kind of chance does a young company have to sell a product or service to the government in this climate?
A. There are still government programs that mandate that a certain percentage of government contracts have to be given to small business. Those percentages are probably not going to go away. But it does mean the dollar amount probably declines. It's not just a federal issue. State government budgets have been seriously affected the last few years. They're getting healthier but they're certainly not back to where they could be or should be. It's probably increasingly hard.
Q. Is this a good time or a bad time for someone to start a company?
A. My own personal view is that it's never a bad time to start a company. There are good cases to be made that starting in an economic expansion is great because consumer demand is high and people will spend money. There's arguments to be made that starting in a downturn, whether it's a recession or a bear market or a sluggish recovery is also a good time. If you're a tech startup for example, the demand for technology has been pretty constant the past few years. IPad sales went through roof at a time when the economy was deep in a recession. That's obviously a big company, but lots of other companies have glommed on to that heavy tech spending. There's also schools of thought that say if you start up in a recession, it's sort of a trial by fire. If you start up in hard times, and you survive, there's less competition and you come out of it stronger.
A few years ago, we did a count of Fortune 500 companies, and over half of them were founded either in recessions or bear markets. That's not simply a reflection of, well, they started in a recession, therefore they're better. I think it's a reflection of, if you have an idea or if you create an opportunity or if you're in a university and you've stumbled across some discovery, there is that entrepreneurial drive ... and the macroeconomic environment doesn't matter if you come up with that idea. There's not necessarily a one-to-one corresponding relation between the macroeconomic environment and the demand for and supply of new ideas and innovation.

I've ALWAYS wanted to make a star wars costume and a mandalorian would be the coolest thing ever! so i decided i wanted to start my own set. i plan on using the trash can method to make the armor, which is a unique spin-off of neo-crusader-esque abdomen armor and the more common fett style abdomen armor combined. i kind of like my design and i don't think it will be too hard to cut out. anyways. here is my design pictures.
Criticism? Comments? Ideas? I'm open for anything.

Hello all!
Today marks a bit of a turning point for TDH. TDH was founded in order to help fans of Boba Fett build better quality costumes. Shortly thereafter Jango and Zam were added and our trifecta was completed. As many of you also build other Star Wars related costumes, we eventually added a general Star Wars and Clone section as well, not to mention, the inclusion of the custom Mandolorians.
Back around the time that the Dark Knight was coming out, we somehow became a lightning rod for Joker costumes (probably due to Kwally's fabric run). After the Joker buzz died down Iron Man reared its head and we became inundated with Iron Man costume threads.
How did this happen?
Well, first off, TDH is a very high ranking site and easy to find if you are looking up costumes and one of the only sites that rank higher is the RPF... but historically, the RPF has had a closed registration, so people came here, for the great community and high traffic. Additionally, many of our longtime members have completed their Fett based costumes and have moved on to other non-Star Wars projects. While we love seeing those projects shared with this community via showoff threads in the the Sarlacc Pit, if you are working on a non-Star Wars costume, TDH really isn't designed to support you. As TDH and the RPF are now more or less under the same "umbrella" and now that the RPF has open registration, we want to encourage members to use that site for the non-Star Wars costume builds and this site for Star Wars based costumes, especially you Boba Fett, Jango Fett, Zam Wesell, and Clone costumes!
What does this mean?
This means, starting next week, non-Star Wars based costume build threads and questions are going to be closed and we are going to refer you to the RPF.
Do we want you to leave?
Absolutely not! We love our members, and hope you will continue to participate, but we also want to maintain our brand and identity as a premiere Star Wars (Boba Fett) costume site and want to make sure our primary focus is on Star Wars based characters alone.
Won't this hurt the size of the site?
It is entirely possible that this will cut down on an already shrinking membership but we believe in quality over quantity and having more people here doesn't mean much if they aren't focused on the same goals as the site as a whole. As I have told many of you old timers, Star Wars is on the long downward slide. Many Star Wars sites, including starwars.com and rebelscum.com are losing ground as more and more people are losing interest. It is inevitable that this will happen as more of us get older and Star Wars fails to capture the imagination of the next generation. Again, we feel it is more important to focus on our core audience than bring more people to the site who are completely on a different page than us.
Thanks for you cooperation and understanding!

Florida may roll back motor vehicle fees
Published: Thursday, March 21, 2013 at 4:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 21, 2013 at 4:26 p.m.
TALLAHASSEE — Florida lawmakers may roll back sharp increases in fees for driver's licenses and auto tags that the state adopted three years ago to close a large budget gap.
A top Senate Republican said Thursday that he will unveil a bill next week that would cut in half the fees now charged to motorists.
Sen. Joe Negron, R-Stuart and Senate budget chief, said he will propose wiping out an existing tax break for insurers doing business in the state in order to cover the cost. That tax break is worth $237 million, according to state economists.
"My priority is to get money to our constituents and not subsidize an industry that is doing very well," Negron said.
State legislators confronting a multi-billion dollar shortfall back in 2009 increased fees to renew car tags and licenses as part of a $2.2 billion package of tax and fee hikes. Lawmakers also increased the state's cigarette tax that year.
Just about every motor vehicle fee, including a 35 percent increase in annual tag fees that ranges from $5 to $11.40, depending on a car's weight. The initial vehicle registration fee more than doubled, going from $100 to $225. The cost of an initial driver's license went up from $27 to $48 and a renewal increased from $20 to $48.
Top Senate Republicans agreed with Negron that it is time to cut the fees.
"During a difficult budget year, the Legislature made the hard choice to increase certain fees associated with driving a vehicle in lieu of raising taxes, or taking draconian cuts to critical state services," said Senate President Don Gaetz in a statement. "However, times have changed and it is time that we reprioritize and evaluate ways to keep more money in the pockets of hard working Floridians."
This marks the second tax break that the Senate has targeted potential elimination. Insurance companies pay a state tax on insurance premiums, but they also get a credit equal to 15 percent of the salary paid to company employees.
The Senate is also proposing eliminating a tax break for banks to help pay for economic incentives that would be used to renovate Sun Life Stadium in South Florida.
Negron has defended the potential elimination of incentives or tax breaks, saying the Legislature needs to eliminate outdated incentives before adopting new ones. The problem for Republicans is any vote to eliminate a tax break could bring criticism that they are actually raising taxes.

Ozarks math professor leads double life as St. Nick
Release Date: 12/15/2011
Santa Claus is coming to town. And may be here already.
If you or your children have encountered the familiar jolly man with the red suit and white whiskers in Clarksville recently, it is possible it wasn't the real Santa, but rather U of O's Dr. Buddy Smith.
Smith, who has been a professor of mathematics at Ozarks since 1980, undergoes a remarkable seasonal transformation once a year, appearing as rosy-cheeked Kris Kringle in a wide variety of venues in the area. "It started five or six years ago," Smith said. "Some people I knew called me up out of the blue and asked if I had a Santa suit. I said no, and they asked if I'd be willing to fill in for Santa if they supplied the suit. So I did. Unfortunately, the suit didn't fit very well, and so after it was over, I went out and got my own suit."
As St. Nick, Smith has delighted children of all ages on the U of O campus - most recently at Ozarks' President and First Lady Dr. Rick and Sheree Niece's Christmas Open House - and throughout the community. He says he's appeared for various local organizations and in parades. This year he will be in the Lamar Christmas parade riding the fire engine.
He is also the body double for Santa Claus at Wal-Mart. "They've asked me to be their Santa the last two years," Smith said. "Children get their photos taken with Santa, and Wal-Mart gives away free copies of the photos. They do pay me, but the money is donated to the local Christmas Angel Project."
He said over 100 photos of Santa with the children have been taken at Wal-Mart during each of his recent appearances. "You never can tell how the kids will react," he said. "Sometimes they are happy to see me, but a lot of times they hang onto the cart and don't want to get out. Sometimes a peppermint candy cane helps."
He said often passersby do not realize the jolly man in the red suit sitting at the Christmas display back in the home and garden department isn't merely a manikin dressed as Santa. "They sure do jump when you say hi," he said.
Andrea Dankert, host of 'Get to Know' interviews Santa for the show.
Ozarks' Director of Public Relations, Larry Isch, said his granddaughter had always been terrified of Santa in person, until she met Dr. Smith. "She took to him immediately," said Isch. "It was the darnedest thing."
Andrea Dankert, a senior Marketing and Strategic Communications major from Broken Arrow, Okla., recently interviewed Smith as Santa for her KUOZ television segment Get to Know. "I try to interview interesting people, and Santa definitely fits the bill," Dankert said. "I asked him how he gets all the toys delivered around the world in one night, and he said it involved a lot of mathematical equations that would be over the head of the average person. The biggest surprise to me was finding out that U of O's Dean of Students Joe Hoing is on the naughty list! I never would have suspected."
Smith - that is to say, Santa Claus - will continue to appear at Wal-Mart through the holiday. Please call (479) 754-2046 for times.

Allegedly they can be removed with a large ballpeen hammer & a large drive punch, but have had no success of my own. Have removed rear sights on 1911 pistols for almost 20 years with little difficulty, but this one will have to be machined out with a milling machine, which i do not own.
Before doing anything to that rear sight, contact "novak's guns" and inquire about them removing the sight & replacing it with one of their famous wedge-shaped rear with the fiber-optic light tubes. They are on the internet.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by buddahfan, Oct 11, 2007.
Your loss. I still follow Arroyo and Delfino too. Lots of good basketball.
You watch every Memphis game, Lazy? That's dedication to Darko. I salute you.
That's what league pass can do for you. I still watch Memo and Fino, and catch Carlos a bit, too. I have started watching more of the Lakers since Pau went there. I always have liked watching players even when they are on teams other than the Pistons. But I still wish more than anything that Darko and Memo were still here.
All those Darko clips are old. You gotta like a cool gangsta that can get ejected yet his hair remains smooth.
He hit his high water mark against the Pace last nite. 14 in 17 minutes. 4-11 Ft. Got the win though.
Being unemployed at the moment, I had to forego league pass this time around. But I watched all of Darko's games up until this season. Please keep letting me know how he is doing. All I do lately is check the boxscores of the Memphis games.
If Darko didn't have bad luck, he wouldn't have any. Finally looking like he can play the game, scoring 14 points in 17 minutes, he gets his knuckle broken on hack from Troy Murphy. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3795876 Milicic sustained the injury after scoring a season-high 14 points against the Indiana Pacers on Friday night. It comes just as Milicic was playing his best basketball of the season, having scored in double figures in five of his last seven games. ... Milicic, in his sixth NBA season, has averaged 9.7 points per game on 56 percent shooting and 6.3 rebounds per game in last seven games.
Grizz 10-19 with Darko 1-10 without. If he wasn't injured, they could come closer to missing the playoffs. :p
...AND go through a lot more game jerseys.
Interesting take on the Serbian OG. Grizzlies head coach Marc Iavaroni had this to say about Darko and the team earlier this season: "Right now, for us to win Darko has to continue to be an elite defender." It's not often that you see Darko's name associated with being an elite anything, so I was a little taken aback by that quote. But the more I look at the statistics and the results of games without him in the lineup, the more I agree with it. The Darko Effect
If they lost Gay for 9 games they would be 1-8 too.
Record with DMC- 11-19 (.367) Record without him- 2-16 (.111) Grizz with DMC on court this year: -34 points Grizz with DMC on bench or DNP this year: -295 points. He panned out defensively, just not offensively.
Must be the Grizz's MVP without a doubt . Move over, Mayo.
Joe always wanted Defense, guess he didn't fail.
I just realized how screwed up Memphis's salary structure is. Antoine Walker $8.9M Darko Milicic $7.0M Marko Jaric $6.6M Mayo Buckner Conley Gasol Steve Francis $2.6M Gay Damon Staudamire $2.3M They have the lowest overall team salary in the league, so it's not like they are way out of whack like the Knicks. Also, Mem has some really good cheap young players in Gay, Mayo, Gasol, etc. But having Toine, Francis and Stuadamire all producing nothing really hurts. Then you got the _arko's as #2 and #3 in salary, which doesn't seem right either. Weird team.
Reminds me of an LB quote early in Darko's rookie season. It went something like this, "He (Darko) wants to be Dirk Nowitski, and I'm trying to get him to be Bill Russell - and he's never heard of Bill Russell." LB was on the money from the start.
Yeah, but DMC's game is now based more on Russell than Nowitski (and no, I'm not comparing them). I wonder is LB would want him back?
Gay and Mayo will cost ~$10M per each to keep.
Mayo will be a Max player, Gay thinks he will be a Max player.
Mayo should leave when his rookie contract ends.
Separate names with a comma.

The very first place to look...is at the shooter's technique.
Of the shooter is new, it is entirely possible that he (she?) is "limp-wristing" the gun. That is, not holding it tightly and firmly enough.
This is a typical new-shooter problem.
If the shooter doesn't hold the pistol tightly and firmly, some of the recoil force that operates the mechanism is "thrown away" while the pistol rocks back in the shooter's grip. This keeps the gun from extracting and ejecting fired cases properly.
The definitive test is to hand the pistol to a very experienced shooter, and see if the same thing happens in his (her?) hands.
Beware: Some people say that they are experienced, but their only experience comes from watching TV shows.

European Commission against Racism and Intolerance Publications
STRASBOURG, 02.05.2000 - The Council of Europe's European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) has just published its annual activity report for 1999 along with a general policy recommendation and a collection of "good practices" for the media sector:
- The annual report describes the activities put in place by ECRI during its 1999 programme and also sets out the main trends in regard to the presence of racism, xenophobia, antisemitism and intolerance across Europe. Persistent racial and ethnic discrimination in the areas of employment, housing and the provision of services; the continued presence of racism and prejudice in the operation of public institutions, including the judicial system and schools; an increase in complaints concerning racist attitudes and behaviour on the part of the police; the use of racist or xenophobic views in politics; new mass communication technologies increasingly being used for racist purposes by groups and individuals and, in particular, the Internet being used to disseminate racist messages are, amongst others, cited as matters of concern by ECRI.
- General Policy Recommendation No.5: "The fight against intolerance and discrimination towards Muslims": ECRI is concerned at signs that religious intolerance towards Islam and Muslim communities is increasing in countries where this religion is not observed by the majority of the population. It regrets that Islam is sometimes portrayed inaccurately on the basis of hostile stereotyping, the effect of which is to make this religion seem a threat, and recommends a series of measures to governments in different sectors in order to fight against intolerance and discrimination towards Muslims.
- A publication containing a compilation of 21 examples of "good practices" to combat racism and intolerance in the European media. These examples concern the press, radio, television, training, unions and associations and awards.

I have been teaching a 14 year old female student for a month now and came across the passive tense in the text book we were using. Finding it difficult, I got an exercise book to practice the passive tenses, then some "fill the gap" exercises with the correct tense.
I then came across the following questions which I understood how to answer, but I just couldn't explain to the student why.
The sentence to "fill in the gap" with is as follows:
question 1:
Why .......................... from her job? Didn't she enjoy it?
(fill in the gap with Sue/resign) - "did Sue resign"
question 2:
Why .......................... from his job? What did he do wrong?
(fill in the gap with Bill/sack) - "was Bill sacked"
I myself understood the answer, but I can't explain why. Is there a way I can explain this to my student why the answers are such?

Hi Auntie
As a prospective teacher of English I have been looking at various schools and CELTA providers. They say that age is not a problem but increasingly I see many job ads with upper age limits.
I am now 59, I know I should be dead but the fact is I am not. I have a degree which I obtained only 5 years ago. I also have a business qualification which I would still like to put to use. Am I being unrealistic in thinking that I can work overseas teaching English?
Many thanks for any advice on this aspect of TEFL.

Ain't harvested yet due to a combination of work and laziness....JP
Quote from: JP on July 29, 2008, 01:04:23 AMAin't harvested yet due to a combination of work and laziness....JPYou done burned yourself out this Spring JP, catching all those swarms.
420 kg, or 920 lbs harvested and sold. Plus 200 kg surplus feed and personal use = 620 kg or 1366 lbs total. That's off 15 hives - Three were "mature" hives - one existing in spring plus two strong early swarms that built up well before the flow. These all produced 40 kg each, or 88 lbs.The other 12 were mid-spring nucs (six-10 ¾ depth frames at the end of November), some of which built up exceedingly well, and two of which produced as much as the mature hives, the others built at varying but generally good rates, except for one which produced nothing. So an average of 40 kg for the two strongest nucs, and 22 kg each for the remainder. On top of harvested and sold honey was our personal use and surplus winter feed stores of about 200 kg. (Surplus winter feed stores are stores over and above the two boxes full that we leave each hive with). The three mature hives and the two strongest young hives produced about 100 kg of that surplus, with the other 10 hives producing the other 100 kg. Sooo.. Mature hives plus two strongest nucs (5 hives) = 40 kg sold plus 20 kg surplus = 60 kg or 132 lbs each.Young hives (10) = 22 kg sold plus 10 kg surplus = 32 kg or 70 lbs each.:) Not bad for a first year. [wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im soo excited to get started!!! but with two hives.... Heather]
