Re: Free and Fast Oil Consumption Mod/ Fix in Ten Easy Steps
I'm getting some popcorn and pulling up a chair, not that I want to see a fight but the thing I dislike so very much on this or any forum is incorrect information.
Nice to see it all laid out and just the facts.
Re: Free and Fast Oil Consumption Mod/ Fix in Ten Easy Steps
I just want to help people out - that's why I take twice as long to work on my cars to pause and take pix. I value experience as much as the next guy, and I can thump my chest too, but I just want to understand what's actually going on, and not read some WAGs or stuff that applies to other engines.
Re: Free and Fast Oil Consumption Mod/ Fix in Ten Easy Steps
you should have changed you plugs at 100k-miles ... are you sure you didn't have them changed? they should be misfiring like mad by now if they're original (that and/or burning up your coils too)

Re: Free and Fast Oil Consumption Mod/ Fix in Ten Easy Steps
And like I said, the valves were clean and intake had minimal buildup - you can see where the high quality (Shell) fuel kept the scary oil off the valves and off the inside of my intake:
Presumably, that same fuel somehow made its way into the combustion chamber, where it also kept the pistons clean.
Re: Free and Fast Oil Consumption Mod/ Fix in Ten Easy Steps
And for those looking for data, here is (reportedly) a used oil analysis on a GM V-8 that went 13K miles on an oil change. Note that it has no fuel in the oil. In fact, "No contamination was found."
On the other hand, here is one with the same engine, reportedly (by the owner) with a catch can, that DOES have gasoline in the oil:

Re: Free and Fast Oil Consumption Mod/ Fix in Ten Easy Steps
I'm not saying anyone is wrong or anything I just hate when random non-fact based things are thrown out on the forum and it spreads, no saying anyone threw out non-fact, I was just saying.
Now I am getting off topic, sorry, I like to keep threads on topic and not ruin the OP path and topic. God bless the new guys full of questions but start a thread if you want to stray so it is on topic and easy to find down the road when people search, even though they don't search.....
Re: Free and Fast Oil Consumption Mod/ Fix in Ten Easy Steps
Most factory tunes (as any tuner can vouch for) are rich from the factory as no 2 engines are the same so yes, there is considerable unburnt fuel in todays crankcases.
Fuel savings alone by eliminating oil ingestion into the intake air charge adds up to far more savings than spraying solvents into a engines crankcase or not changing spark plugs when needed.
Every single product I have endorsed (mine or a direct competitiors) has a ton of documentation on the benifits. Dyno comparisons, fuel economy studies, and dissasembled engines to examine, take pictures of, and share with those that do care.
There needs to be no fight, and what you shared is a plus to all, but to nay-say well documented facts is a diservice to all that care about the best for their baby.
If I was the greedy profiteer you claim I would hardley put all the time and effort into what I share and would just push products like the "turbonator"," magic fuel magnets", and all the other proven false smake oil people spend millions on when the research is readily available to see they are false, yet you attack facts as smoke and mirrors.
Correct information is what should be shared on the forums...not false claims that confuse those who truely want to learn.
So, I have listed my qualifications......just list yours so we can see how you came to your conclusions.
Re: Free and Fast Oil Consumption Mod/ Fix in Ten Easy Steps
I get very few sales from being a vendor on this forum.....propbably less than $200 a month and average $40-60k from the rest of our sales outlets...most in the dealer network.
Any that want specific facts, pictures, and answers in detail on any question...ask. And if this is not what the OP wants then lets start another thread.

Re: Free and Fast Oil Consumption Mod/ Fix in Ten Easy Steps
"pulling back on the clip and pulling up on the hose end"
I can't get the fitting off. There's an identical fitting that goes onto some sort of port right after the MAF but I couldn't figure out how to get that one either.
Is it some sort of latch? Friction fit? I don't see any pieces inside that move relative to the fitting itself.
EDIT: I can see how it opens up now. Time to put it in practice...

Re: Free and Fast Oil Consumption Mod/ Fix in Ten Easy Steps
Pro tip: push down the fitting before trying to open the latch. If you try to open the latch if the fitting is stuck upward, it will jam and you will hate yourself. Once it's down, the latch opens easily.
I rate this mod easy-to-almost impossible depending on how generous your breather fitting is. I could not remove the breather fitting since there is no space (on the CTS) to apply or leverage a full body pull, and locking pliers typically have nothing on them that facilitates pulling. I can deadlift 270+ and I could not get the breather to budge (the whole car was shaking, etc.). I did get it to rotate slightly, though.
****ing wire looms press down HARD into your left forearm, too.
Re: Free and Fast Oil Consumption Mod/ Fix in Ten Easy Steps
And no, other than a bottle of Berryman's or Techron in the gas tank from time to time, no "upper induction cleaning." Like I said, top tier gasoline makes a huge difference in these vehicles. More than one tank of bad gas has caused a no-start due to sticking valves, which some have confused for a broken or slipped timing chain.
I really hate this kind of conflict. I don't have a mile-long pedigree, I'm just a guy that works on his cars. My apologies to everyone else.
Buyer beware.

Yes it is....and here is my last post giving 3rd party industry technical info on the subject.

Crankcase ventilation system
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
A crankcase ventilation system is a way for gases to escape in a controlled manner from the crankcase of an internal combustion engine.
This is necessary because internal combustion inevitably involves a small but continual amount of blow-by, which occurs when some of the gases from the combustion leak past the piston rings (that is, blow by them) to end up inside the crankcase.

[edit] Early provisions
This section does not cite any references or sources. (April 2012)
From the late 19th century through the early 20th, blow-by gases were allowed to find their own way out to the atmosphere past seals and gaskets. It was considered normal for oil to be found both inside and outside an engine, and for oil to drip to the ground in small but constant amounts. This had also been true for steam engines and steam locomotives in the decades before. Even bearing and valve designs generally made little to no provision for keeping oil or waste gases contained. Sealed bearings and valve covers were for special applications only. Gaskets and shaft seals were meant to limit loss of oil, but they were usually not expected to entirely prevent it. On internal combustion engines, the hydrocarbon-rich blow-by gases would diffuse through the oil in the seals and gaskets into the atmosphere. Engines with high amounts of blow-by (e.g., worn out ones, or ones not well built to begin with) would leak profusely via those routes.
[edit] Road draft tube
The first refinement in crankcase ventilation was the road draft tube, which is a pipe running from a high location contiguous to the crankcase (such as the side of the engine block, or the valve cover on an overhead valve engine) down to an open end facing down and located in the vehicle's slipstream. When the vehicle is moving, airflow across the open end of the tube creates a draft that pulls gases out of the crankcase. The high location of the engine end of the pipe minimises liquid oil loss. An air inlet path to the crankcase, called the breather and often incorporated into the oil filler cap, meant that when a draft was generated at the tube, fresh air swept through the crankcase to clear out the blow-by gases.[1]
The road draft tube, though simple, has shortcomings: it does not function when the vehicle is moving too slowly to create a draft, so postal and other slow-moving delivery vehicles tended to suffer rapid buildup of engine sludge due to poor crankcase ventilation. And non-road vehicles such as boats never generated a draft on the tube, no matter how fast they were going.[1] The draft tube discharged the crankcase gases, composed largely of unburnt hydrocarbons, directly into the air. This created pollution as well as objectionable odors.[1] Moreover, the draft tube could become clogged with snow or ice, in which case crankcase pressure would build and cause oil leaks and gasket failure.[2]
[edit] Positive crankcase ventilation (PCV)
During World War II, however, a different type of crankcase ventilation had to be invented to allow tank engines to operate during deep fording operations, where the normal draft tube ventilator would have allowed water to enter the crankcase and destroy the engine. The PCV system and its control valve were invented to meet this need, but no need for it on automobiles was recognised.
In 1952, Professor A. J. Haagen-Smit, of the California Institute of Technology at Pasadena, postulated that unburned hydrocarbons were a primary constituent of smog, and that gasoline powered automobiles were a major source of those hydrocarbons. After some investigation by the GM Research Laboratory (led by Dr. Lloyd L. Withrow), it was discovered in 1958 that the road draft tube was a major source, about half, of the hydrocarbons coming from the automobile. GM's Cadillac Division, which had built many tanks during WWII, recognized that installation of PCV on vehicles could bring the first major reduction in automotive hydrocarbon emissions. After confirming the PCV valves' effectiveness at hydrocarbon reduction, GM offered the PCV solution to the entire U.S. automobile industry, royalty free, through its trade association, the Automobile Manufacturers Association (AMA).[citation needed] The PCV system thus became the first real vehicle emissions control device.
Positive crankcase ventilation was first installed on a widespread basis by law on all new 1961-model cars first sold in California. The following year, New York required it. By 1964, most new cars sold in the U.S. were so equipped by voluntary industry action so as not to have to make multiple state-specific versions of vehicles. PCV quickly became standard equipment on all vehicles worldwide because of its benefits not only in emissions reduction but also in engine internal cleanliness and oil lifespan.[3][1]
In 1967, several years after its introduction into production, the PCV system became the subject of a U.S. federal grand jury investigation, when it was alleged by some industry critics that the AMA was conspiring to keep several such smog reduction devices on the shelf to delay further smog control. After eighteen months of investigation by U.S. Attorney Samuel Flatow, the grand jury returned a "no-bill" decision, clearing the AMA, but resulting in a "Consent Decree" that all U.S. automobile companies agreed not to work jointly on smog control activities for a period of ten years.[citation needed]
In the decades since, legislation and regulation of vehicular emissions has tightened substantially, and the toxic emissions of cars and light trucks have decreased substantially. Today's petrol engines continue to use PCV systems.
[edit] Components and details
PCV valve on Ford Taunus V4 engine in a Saab 96, between left valve cover and intermediate flange on intake manifold
The PCV valve is only one part of the PCV system, which is essentially a variable and calibrated air leak, whereby the engine returns its crankcase combustion gases. Instead of the gases being vented to the atmosphere, gases are fed back into the intake manifold, to re-enter the combustion chamber as part of a fresh charge of air and fuel. The PCV system is not a classical "vacuum leak". All the air collected by the air cleaner (and metered by the mass flow sensor, on a fuel injected engine) goes through the intake manifold. The PCV system just diverts a small percentage of this air via the breather to the crankcase before allowing it to be drawn back in to the intake tract again. It is an "open system" in that fresh exterior air is continuously used to flush contaminants from the crankcase and into the combustion chamber.
The system relies on the fact that, while the engine is running under light load and moderate throttle opening, the intake manifold's air pressure is always less than crankcase air pressure, see manifold vacuum. The lower pressure of the intake manifold draws air towards it, pulling air from the breather through the crankcase (where it dilutes and mixes with combustion gases), through the PCV valve, and into the intake manifold.
The PCV system usually consists of the breather tube and the PCV valve. The breather tube connects the crankcase to a clean source of fresh airthe air cleaner body. Usually, clean air from the air cleaner flows into this tube and into the engine after passing through a screen, baffle, or other simple system to arrest a flame front, to prevent a potentially explosive atmosphere within the engine crank case from being ignited from a back-fire in to the intake manifold. The baffle, filter, or screen also traps oil mist, and keeps it inside the engine.
Once inside the engine, the air circulates around the interior of the engine, picking up and clearing away combustion byproduct gases, including a large amount of water vapor which includes dissolved chemical combustion byproducts, then exits through another simple baffle, screen, or mesh to trap oil droplets before being drawn out through the PCV valve, and into the intake manifold. On some PCV systems, this oil baffling takes place in a discrete replaceable part called the oil separator.
During the mid 1960s, substantial work was completed on an entirely independent crankcase ventilation system. The Engine Ventilation System had its own air intake filter, a sizable crankcase gases filter, condensate chamber, and highly engineered air flow valve.[citation needed] The system recycles clean water vapor, filters light oil, and filters air into the intake system before the carburetor, resulting in lower carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions and extended engine oil life. Ford Motor Company made this system a requirement on all its material handling equipment (lift trucks) in 1971. This system was also used extensively on over-the-road diesel trucks and irrigation pumps. The AMA's choice[clarification needed] of catalytic converter made automotive use unlikely.[citation needed]
The PCV valve connects the crankcase to the intake manifold from a location more-or-less opposite the breather connection. Typical locations include the opposite valve cover that the breather tube connects to on a V engine. A typical location is the valve cover(s), although some engines place the valve in locations far from the valve cover. The valve is simple, but actually performs a complicated control function. An internal restrictor (generally a cone or ball) is held in "normal" (engine off, zero vacuum) position with a light spring, exposing the full size of the PCV opening to the intake manifold. With the engine running, the tapered end of the cone is drawn towards the opening in the PCV valve by manifold vacuum, restricting the opening proportionate to the level of engine vacuum vs. spring tension. At idle, the intake manifold vacuum is near maximum. It is at this time the least amount of blow by is actually occurring, so the PCV valve provides the largest amount of (but not complete) restriction. As engine load increases, vacuum on the valve decreases proportionally and blow by increases proportionally. With a lower level of vacuum, the spring returns the cone to the "open" position to allow more air flow. At full throttle, vacuum is much reduced, down to between 1.5 and 3" Hg. At this point the PCV valve is nearly useless, and most combustion gases escape via the "breather tube" where they are then drawn in to the engine's intake manifold anyway.
Should the intake manifold's pressure be higher than that of the crankcase (which can happen in a turbocharged engine, or under certain conditions, such as an intake backfire), the PCV valve closes to prevent reversal of the exhausted air back into the crankcase again. In many cases PCV valves were only used for a few years, the function being taken over by a port on constant depression carburetors such as the SU. This has no moving parts or diaphragm to jam, block or rip like many PCV valves. It also doesn't have a 'one-way' function but the lack of it was never a problem in intake backfire.
It is critical that the parts of the PCV system be kept clean and open, otherwise air flow will be insufficient. A plugged or malfunctioning PCV system will eventually damage an engine. PCV problems are primarily due to neglect or poor maintenance, typically engine oil change intervals that are inadequate for the engine's driving conditions. A poorly-maintained engine's PCV system will eventually become contaminated with sludge, causing serious problems. If the engine's lubricating oil is changed with adequate frequency, the PCV system will remain clear practically for the life of the engine. However, since the valve is operating continuously as one operates the vehicle, it will fail over time. Typical maintenance schedules for gasoline engines include PCV valve replacement whenever the air filter or spark plugs are replaced. The long life of the valve despite the harsh operating environment is due to the trace amount of oil droplets suspended in the air that flows through the valve that keep it lubricated.
[edit] Alternatives
Not all petrol engines have PCV valves. Engines not subject to emission controls, such as certain off-road engines, retain road draft tubes. Dragsters use a scavenger system and venturi tube in the exhaust to draw out combustion gases and maintain a small amount of vacuum in the crankcase to prevent oil leaks on to the race track. Small gasoline two stroke engines use the crankcase to partially compress incoming air. All blow by in these engines is burned in the regular flow of air and fuel through the engine. Many small four-cycle engines such as lawn mower engines and small gasoline generators, simply use a draft tube connected to the intake, between the air filter and carburetor, to route all blow by back into the intake mixture. The higher operating temperature of these small engines has a side effect of preventing large amounts of water vapor and light hydrocarbons from condensing in the engine oil.

Re: Free and Fast Oil Consumption Mod/ Fix in Ten Easy Steps
And from the British:
The usual PCV systems come in two basic flavors, and I'll distinguish them here by referring to them as American and British respectively, due to the prevalence of their use by manufacturers in each country, and in particular in distinguishing LBC's from Detroit iron.
In the British system, which is the more straightforward of the two, manifold vacuum is plumbed directly to the crankcase using a 0.5" or 0.75" diameter line. An orifice of typically 0.030" or less is provided on a line feeding fresh air into the crankcase. Sometimes this line draws vapors from a vapor recovery canister as well, thereby purging the canister and feeding those vapors indirectly into the engine intake, and sometimes this orifice is contained in an oil filler cap, but for the purposes of PCV it functions the same either way. It does however have the potential to either enrich or lean the idle mixture to a limited degree. The manifold vacuum purges the crankcase of blowby fumes. By placing the crankcase under vacuum, a metered quantity of fresh air is drawn into the crankcase through the orifice... at least at idle and part throttle. As the throttle opens and engine load increase, blowby also increases proportionally until at some point the crankcase transitions from vacuum to positive pressure. This may not occur with a new engine in good condition using a larger vacuum line, but it certainly will with an engine having significant mileage. When the crankcase is at positive pressure, nothing changes on the vacuum side other than the volume of gasses going into the intake, but on the orifice side the flow reverses. This is usually not particularly significant due to the small size, but can contaminate the carbon in the vacuum canister over the course of time.

American systems use a large diameter vent line to the atmosphere, usually running from a valve cover to a location in the air filter housing, and a smaller diameter line to the intake manifold, usually 0.3125" to 0.375" in diameter. This system restricts the amount of combustible air which enters the engine with a PCV valve rather than an orifice, and it is placed in this intake line. The PCV valve is pretty unique in that it allows full flow at low pressure differentials across the valve and a metered restriction above that level. It also shuts off flow in the reverse direction, thereby eliminating the need for a flame trap. This is done by using a shuttle inside the valve which I'll return to shortly, as this is the most misunderstood part of the system.
The crankcase is never under vacuum but can become slightly pressurized. The large diameter vent line allows fresh air into the crankcase and also allows excess blowby to vent into the air cleaner housing through a flame arrestor where they are ingested by the engine, whenever engine loads and throttle openings are great. Under part throttle the PCV valve is open due to the lower vacuum applied across it and the lower level of blowby so most if not all of the blowby is sucked into the intake, drawing fresh air into the engine in the process and also tending to lean out the intake mixture during cruise. During idle there is enough vacuum to shuttle the PCV valve to the metered position and there is usually very little blowby so most of that is ingested along with a small amount of fresh air which is accounted for by adjustment of the idle mixture screws. This is one reason the idle mixture has to be adjusted as the rings wear. Under heavy throttle, although the level of vacuum drops to near zero, should the level of blowby become great enough the shuttle will shut down the flow to the metered level, diverting most of the blowby to the air cleaner and ingesting only a metered amount of blowby through the PCV valve.
The effect of routing these gasses through the air cleaner is to enrich the intake mixture proportionally because the carb doesn't know the difference between fresh air and recycled combustion by-products. So it is interesting that the PCV system helps to give us a lean cruise and a rich WOT, but there is little or no correlation between PCV, carburetor, and volume of blowby other than the initial calibrations of the carb and PCV valve and no mechanism to account for engine wear other than the shuttle valve and idle mixture screws. The interesting thing about this is that the same PCV system is still in use with very little modification on our newer fuel injected engines, although they do have a feedback mechanism in the form of an oxygen sensor.
These systems work quite well normally, but things tend to get interesting once performance modifications are made. Often the PCV systems are unintentionally modified to the point that they can no longer function properly, and this is particularly common with aftermarket intakes, air filters, valve covers, forced induction and the like. It is still possible on almost any performance engine to design and tune for a PCV system that works properly and this is especially important in a street driven car. For all out performance it is less of a consideration and in fact the blowby fumes do dilute the intake charge somewhat, so in these cases a simple crankcase vent is often used, harking back to the early days, with all their attendant inconveniences. Often modifications are made to the system unintentionally, in the quest for more performance and a better appearance, and this can result in problems. One of the most bothersome is pressurization of the crankcase, with symptoms of excess oil sprayed about the engine compartment in various places as it is forced past gaskets and seals. Another is the chance of a crankcase explosion should the need for a flame trap be overlooked. Then of course, any improperly functioning system will have a need for more frequent oil changes, as the combustion byproducts contaminate the oil more rapidly.
For your street driven car there are answers. Sometimes the British system is more appropriate, and sometimes American, but it's best to keep in mind how each one operates and not try to mix the two. When fitting an open element air cleaner onto a typical American 4-barrel carbureted V8, for instance, it's quite easy to install the vent line to the base of the air cleaner inside the element, thereby keeping the system intact. Things aren't quite so neat and clean when fitting a similar air cleaner on a Rover V8, because Rover engines were originally set up with an orifice-type system. Some of these are easily changed over and some are not, depending on the fittings on the rocker covers. Bear in mind that the large vent line of 0.625" or possibly 0.75" in some cases cannot be replaced with a 0.375" hose, or even two of them. Flow increases by the square of the diameter, meaning that a 2" pipe flows four times as much as a 1" pipe. So you would need four 0.375" lines to match one 0.75" line. If your valvecovers do not have the proper fittings and you are not willing to add larger ones to them then you may need a larger line to the crankcase in an alternate location. Early SBC's had a vent line that went through the block web behind the intake manifold. A large diameter tube rising from the pan may be another option. You might use the mechanical fuel pump mounting boss. Or you may be able to use the orifice system, bearing in mind that using smaller lines will cause it to operate under pressure more than it might otherwise. This may require recalibration of your carburetor due to the differences mentioned above, or it may be possible to find a suitable carburetor calibrated for the orifice system, since some British cars were available with a four barrel carburetor. There are other cases where an orifice system is a good choice, such as any induction system where the throttle body is at the inlet of the system. This might be the case with an IR setup or where an engine is supercharged. In these situations there is no practical way to locate the vent tube, and therefore no way to ingest the excess blowby fumes. The solution is to port the crankcase to manifold vacuum (or inlet vacuum in the case of a blower) and use the orifice to restrict flow into the crankcase and subsequent leaning of the intake mixture. It is worth noting here that often EFI systems take control of the PCV system, such as by including a purge valve for the emissions canister, allowing options such as pulling fresh air in at idle to give more precise control of the mixture. Some of these systems may be able to divert PCV intake on WOT for maximum power output. WARNING: All lines from crankcase to intake system must have some form of flame arrester! To overlook this is to invite a crankcase explosion, which in the best possible scenario will have you replacing your lifter valley pan.
Finally, we have the alternative systems, the most familiar being the collector scavenger tube. These are really not suitable for a street driven application because of two things: mufflers, and the fact that they do not work well at idle. For racing it's a good idea, but once you add the restriction of a muffler you have created backpressure which will reverse the flow in the scavenger tube and make the system ineffective. Another option is an external scavenger pump. These tend to be a more complicated solution, but are another possibility that may have merit in special situations. Theoretically it would be possible to evacuate the crankcase using positive pressure and this would tend to lead to seal problems, but if those woes were overcome one might even find a way to route forced induction through the crankcase on its way to the cylinder, provided an adequate air/oil separator were designed. Two stroke engines inherently use this principle, simply burning the oil as they go.
So that's the basic lowdown. No doubt there are details that I've left out but it's enough to give the average person the picture. Hopefully it's enough to help sort through the tangled mess and maze of confusion that typically surrounds these systems

We are not football fans - it's all about the food and fun for us, and Super Bowl is the one day where we throw out all the rules and eat whatever we want. I'd love to hear what others have planned for their menus, the favourites you make every year, the must-haves, and especially anything you save only for Super Bowl or other big games. We discovered this very decadent dip years ago, and look forward to it every year: Super Sausage Dip. This year I really want to try Football Sandwiches - I love regional American and Canadian recipes that have stories and traditions around them. And I got this idea from Cyn, who said they serve it at Thanksgiving every year in her family, and I thought it sounded Super Bowl worthy with its ingredients and fun history - Watergate Salad.

Deputy fatally shoots man threatening wife
Published: Saturday, March 23, 2013 at 8:11 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 23, 2013 at 8:11 p.m.
WEST PALM BEACH — A Palm Beach County deputy has shot and killed a man after he allegedly threatened his wife at knifepoint, then charged the deputy.
Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said 49-year-old Daniel Lee Rhodes punched his wife during a very violent confrontation Friday night and warned her if she called police he would chop her into pieces.
Deputies have been to the residence several times over the years on domestic calls.
On Friday night, the woman's daughter called 911. A deputy arrived in less than a minute and met Rhodes in the garage. The sheriff said the deputy told Rhodes to drop the weapon but Rhodes charged him with a knife.
The deputy then fatally shot Rhodes.
Bradshaw said the deputy saved the family's life. The deputy's name has not been released.

Welcome aboard.
Looking forward to learning from you guys
I'm from South Windsor.
Nice to meet you all,
Welcome aboard.
Never argue with drunks or crazy people.
Well DJ welcome from down in the swamps. Jump in and enjoy.
Welcome !!!
Glad to be aboard!
Anyone know when and where the next gun show will be? I'm interested in browsing and gaining more knowledge. I've gone to Hoffman's on the Berlin Turnpike. Being new to this I found they had a pretty wide selection, although I could be wrong. I would have had a better experience if I had my license so I could actually handle the guns.
Another question. My CCW Class is on the 28th at Wolf's Range in Bristol. Once I complete the test and fill out the necessary forms with the police, generally, how long does it take for the background check and forms processing take before they issue me the license? I'm hoping to be legal by spring.
Hi DjsaneR: I grew up in So. Windsor. I have a feeling we talked before on Bersa talk. I lived on Willow street. I live in Chaplin now. I moved out of So. Windsor 30 years ago when I about 22. I am fairly new to this site and go back an forth between Bersa talk and here. Later.
Hoffmans is one of the better gun shops Ive been to in CT. Most of the guys are nice over there and very helpful. Although I did run into one of the salesmen who was dead set on selling me a Glock even though I told him numerous times that I didnt want one. I actually walked out of the store because he was so persistant about it, but Ive been back since and havent had a problem.
As for your permit, you "should" have it by late March early April, (6-8 weeks) according to the state. I got my permit in a hair under 7 weeks when I sent mine in.
And if you're still looking for a gun show, theres one next weekend actually 17-18th in Windsor at the Marriott
Most likely not. Im supposed to be going up to Boston with some friends to enjoy St. Patty's day.

Hi everyone,
I am an American man seeking employment in foreign countries to teach English. I have voluntarily taught English in Russia and China for a total of 9 months. I plan on receiving my certification in TEFL from an online course.
I guess the question is this: Would employers even consider me if I have 9 months worth of experience and a TEFL certificate from an online class? Or do I actually need a degree? I'm reluctant on getting a degree from a University because it's too expensive and I'm not even sure if a BS is even worth anything here in the States anymore.
Thanks in advance...

The report described how views opposed to evolution were very powerful among Muslim students in Amsterdam, and that this is frequently raised in the Dutch press. The article also described the influence on students of the works of Adnan Oktar, under the pen-name Harun Yahya, and contained the following statements:
In December 2004, local and national media were stirred by an incident at the Vrije University in Amsterdam. A group of Muslim students in the biomedical sciences were said to have carried out an essay assignment for the course "Man and Evolution" by uncritically copying anti-evolutionist scripts from ... sites such as www.harunyahya.com. Generally, teachers said, Muslim students did not even want to consider evolution theory.
... Students in these disciplines [such as medicine, chemistry and bio-medical sciences] were of course aware that they were required to take some courses and exams related to evolution theory, but … many students even stressed they felt it important to learn about "Darwin's theory" so that they could better understand, and argue with, its adherents.
... no student accepted the idea that human beings have sprung from apes. Arguments … involved questioning why apes still exist, pointing to inner and outer human-ape differences...
... Atheism was strongly refuted. All students believed in angels, djinns and devils … all students believed in Judgment Day, heaven and hell. … By emphasizing … the scientific teachings in the Quran (e.g. its references to various scientific facts and theories such as the stages of embryonic development, the distinction between salt and fresh water, the positions of the sun and moon, the composition of mountains, the source of rain, heliocentrism, the expansion of the universe, Einstein's relativity theory, the beneficial health effects of breast milk, the digestive system of cows, the roundness of the earth, friction force, the amount of oxygen in the air etc.).
… the Muslim students I conversed with were active participants in civil society, and passionately convinced of democracy, religious pluralism, and equal gender rights.
The ISIM journal also introduced Harun Yahya's web sites. The report in question is just one of the proofs of what a powerful effect the author's works on the subjects of the collapse of the theory of evolution, the fact of creation and the miracles of the Qur'an are having in the world.

Welcome to Talking Heads.
Before and after every first-team fixture, our MatchDay Show guest and an Arsenal blogger will have their say on the game.
Arsenal took on Reading in the Capital One Cup on Tuesday and our Talking Heads for this game were former Gunner Martin Hayes and Andrew Mangan of Arseblog.
The Arsenal team will be completely different to the one at the weekend. A lot could depend on how Reading approach the game and what kind of personnel they field. You wonder whether tonight is more about getting match practice.
It's a great chance for them. If some of them can impress on the big stage against other Premier League sides, it might give the manager something to think about with regard to involving them in the first team. Sometimes, someone young and with enthusiasm can generate a spark throughout the Club.
I like the look of Serge Gnabry. He's positive when he gets on the ball and has real pace and energy. These are crucial attributes to have as an attacking player because they push sides back and cause problems. He has two good feet and real potential.
Reading haven't been winning but they've still been scoring goals, and when they have lost, it's generally only been by small margins. I'm sure they will be looking forward to the game. There's no real pressure on them, so I'm sure Brian McDermott will tell them to go out and enjoy themselves.
I think Arsenal will sneak it in extra time. Hopefully it will be a good cup game that's level after 90 minutes, and Arsenal can nick it in the extra period.
I'm not sure there are words that can do that justice. Arsenal were dreadful in the first half, there's no sugar-coating it whatsoever. At 4-0 down it looked done and dusted but what can you say about that comeback? If there was a lack of heart which saw us go so far behind, we obviously made like the Tin Man, looked within ourselves and found some for the second period. To equalise so late into injury time was extraordinary and Reading must have felt like the wind was knocked right out of their sails. Going ahead, letting them back in it, and then scoring two more to make it 7-5, well, it's Playstation stuff really.
You have to give huge credit to the away fans who stuck behind the team and showed that support like that can make a difference. We go into the next round but Arsène Wenger must look at his team's involvement in these 'freak' games and wonder if it's happening a bit too often. Character, spirit, mental strength - we didn't have them, then we found them, and that little bit of extra quality we had made the difference. From a 1-0 to a 5-7, you just never know what this Arsenal side are going to dish up next, and with Old Trafford on the menu this Saturday it's unlikely to be dull.
At a time when the season is gathering steam, the Capital One Cup provides a bit of relief from a fan's point of view. Of course victory is desired but it doesn't come with the same pressure as the other competitions. Not least because it provides us the chance to see some of the younger generation, one or two of whom we hope will become stars of the future.
While there are 'senior' players who need match practice - I'm thinking of Koscielny, Djourou, Coquelin, Frimpong, Arshavin and even Theo Walcott - this competition has always been about those bubbling under. It's just fun to watch these youngsters given a chance. It's not quite sink or swim but it allows the manager to see them in first-team action and judge their suitability/readiness for promotion. We've had some great nights in this competition and there are some exciting young players who'll get a chance this time around. I'm looking forward to seeing the German duo of Serge Gnabry and Thomas Eisfeld in particular, and hopefully our good record in the early stages of the League Cup will continue.

The Component Manifest File
Your component needs an xml-file declaring meta data (author, license, etc.), which files are included and indicates some special files to the installer API, like the included languages and SQL-scripts for (un)installing.
The most important xml-elements are explained below. There is a manifest DTD for Joomla! 1.5 components which can be used as a guide to the syntax, but it cannot be used to validate the manifest due to a problem with the 1.5 component installer. This should be corrected for Joomla! 1.6 onwards.
The root element
<install type="component|module|..." method="upgrade"> <name>component name</name> <version>x.y</version> ...
Enter the type of your extension, and indicate whether the installer shall be able to overwrite existing files. If the method attribute is not given, the installer will quit gracefully when encountering any existing file on the webspace.
The file list
<install> <files folder="site"> <folder>views</folder> ... <filename>component-name.php</file> ... <administration> <files folder="admin"> ...
List all files which make up the code of your component, which will later go to the component subfolder of the site. Same for the administration part.

Does Obama Face a 2012 Challenge from Within the Ranks of the Democrats?
posted at 10:33 am on September 7, 2009 by Howard Portnoy
Rasmussen Reports writes that the growing unrest among far-left Democrats could lead to a result that just a few months ago would have seemed as unthinkable as it is rare in presidential politics: the challenge of an incumbent president from within his own party. That very subject was the focus of a discussion between Keith Olbermann and Eugene Robinson this past week on Olbermann's MSNBC show:
Robinson said Obama needs to be careful how he handles the health care reform issue and the continuing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Olbermann said the president has "compromised on everything so far and as self-defeating as it may be, the progressive caucus and progressives would abandon him if necessary, if this was to be the policy of this administration into 2012. If it's necessary to find somebody to run against him, I think they'd do it, no matter how destructive that may seem."
How likely is such an internal revolt within the Democrat ranks? If the Rasmussen survey is any indicator, the will of the people would seem to suggest it's "on the table." A poll conducted at the end of July revealed an even split on the question of whether Hillary Clinton would challenge Obama for the party's presidential nomination in 2012. That poll was conducted before Obama seemed to abandon the public option, which now has people like Olbermann and Robinson all wee-wee'd up.
This level of dissension with the Democrat ranks would almost certainly spell the Balkanization of the party into moderate and liberal parties, to which I say, "Bring it on." Understand, this is not a reaction to all the silly in-your-face jubilation that emanated from the arrested-development wing of the Democrat Party, which declared last November that conservatism was officially dead. I see this instead as a much-needed course correction in the American political process, which in recent decades has been threatened by the rise of identity politics and statism as guiding forces among many Democrats — the current president included. Much as people who subscribe to these beliefs would like to live in a country guided by them, the United States of America is simply the wrong address. The country is, has long been, and is destined to remain center-right in its overall political outlook.

Then they must be foraging! Ours stopped taking sugar syrup two weeks ago. :)
I have 2 TBH's with follower feeders like yours. I am using 1 QT jars and the bee's are going through that every 2 days so far. Not sure what to say. If they wont even touch a tray or baggy feeder then they must be foraging on thier own. My understanding is once they have a nectar source they wont touch the syrup. My 2 TBH's are brand new, installed packages almost 2 weeks ago. So, started with no resources besides my feeder and a small pollen patty.
Good to hear things are going well oldenglish!
OldEnglish,I'm having problems picturing this. I'm a new keeper also with TBHs. I'm using the baggie method, but I hate to disrupt the bees every 2 days. Looking for another way myself. Any chance of pics?Also, once the hive is full, how would one put in the baggie feeder? Now, I can just remove some empty bars and slide the baggie in. But when all the bars are full, then what?mtbe

Arsène Wenger insists that Arsenal have not completed the signing of Germany international Lukas Podolski.
It has been reported that the Cologne striker has passed a medical with the Club and is set to seal a move to Emirates Stadium.
But Wenger denies this is the case, and refuses to put a timescale on any potential deal for the forward.
"Nothing is done. No, he has not had a medical," he said.
"I don't master the timing [of any announcement] because that does not just rely on us. It could happen soon, it could happen later, I don't know.
"It is always a concern [that someone else could come in for him]. The speed in which you do things is important, but at the end of the day it is always the player who makes the decision.
"It is about how much they want to join you."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Crime Patrol coming back in its 4th season attempts to bring stories of crime happening all around the country. Crimes that tell us, we need to be careful, we need to be watchful. Crimes that tell us lives could have been saved.Every crime we hear of, either warns us to be careful or scares us, it could happen to us. Every crime ignites a feeling, "It should not have happened".Would knowing the "Why" behind a crime, help in stopping a crime from happening?"I don't like the way he looks at me", "I don't like the way he/she is behaving", "I think he/she is out of his/her mind", "I think he/she has gone crazy". That gaze, that quirky smile, that persistent stare which unnerves. It is difficult to understand the intentions but the hints are
a house a husband and wife argue, fight. A vessel comes flying, a glass breaks. Husband is angry and the wife is upset. That hatred, that ego. The distance that keeps growing. It is difficult to comprehend the damage, but the cracks are there.Feelings… expressions. Misunderstood, unresolved callings of the heart. The cracks are there. Too wide to be missed. Yet when the heart takes over the mind, the outcome is a mindless tragedy.Crime Patrol- Dastak will attempt to look at the signs, the signals that are always there before these mindless crimes are committed. Instincts/Feelings/Signals that so often tell us that not everything is normal. May be, that signal/feeling/instinct is just not enough to believe it could result in a crime. Unfortunately after the crime is committed, those same signals come haunting.
Enjoy and stay connected with us!!

As we mentioned last week, we refuse to diet in December. It's just not realistic, and anyone who thinks it is has freakishly good willpower!
That said, we don't want to blow any progress we've been making in our health and fitness goals. So, we set out to find out which sweet temptations we can guiltlessly dig into (in moderation, of course) this holiday season. The answer, not surprisingly, was dark chocolate.
What was surprising, however, was just how keen on it nutrition gurus are. They say it shouldn't just been a holiday indulgence, it should be a regular indulgence. In fact, registered dietician Cynthia Sass, author of Cinch! Conquer Cravings, Drop Pounds, and Lose Inches (which hits shelves in January) insists that her clients eat dark chocolate on a daily basis.
Here's why:
1. Compared to milk chocolate eaters, those who down dark chocolate eat 15 percent fewer calories, and report feeling fewer cravings for sweet, salty and fatty foods.
2. Dark chocolate contains a unique natural substance that creates a sense of euphoria (yes, please!). When you're satisfied and happy, you're less likely to binge.
3. Dark chocolate contains magnesium, a mineral that can help alleviate PMS symptoms, including cramps, water retention, fatigue, depression and irritability.
4. Dark chocolate contains the same type of antioxidants found in red wine and tea, which have been shown to boost brain activity.
5. Dark chocolate has been shown to correct imbalances in the body related to stress and can significantly reduce levels of stress hormones.
6. Dark chocolate has the perfect caffeine kick. One ounce of 70 percent dark chocolate contains about 40 mg of caffeine, compared to 200 mg in 8 ounces of brewed coffee and 120 mg in strong black tea.
7. The antioxidants in cocoa trigger the walls of your blood vessels to relax, lowering blood pressure and improving circulation. This means better delivery of oxygen and nutrients to every cell.
8. Chocolate's protective natural substances also help prevent cholesterol from sticking to your artery walls, reducing your risk of heart attack and stroke.
9. Heart attack survivors who ate chocolate just twice a week over a two-year period cut their risk of dying from heart disease threefold.
10. The type of saturated fat in dark chocolate isn't the same as the artery-clogging saturated fat in a hamburger or whole milk. It's a unique variety called stearic acid, much of which gets converted in the body to oleic acid, a heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acid.
OK, OK. You talked us into it! We'll eat chocolate!
The key, of course, is to eat it in moderation. So keep portion sizes reasonable and try to stick to dark chocolate with at least 65 percent cocoa.

The purpose of this manual is to provide the reader with general references and to familiarize driversand companies with the applicable federal and state laws and regulations pertaining to the motor carrier industry. The contents of this manual are NOT intended to serve as a precise statement of the Oregon Revised Statutes, Oregon Administrative Rules, or the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. The proper legal reference should be consulted for exact requirements of law. This manual is for you, the motor carrier and professional truck driver. It is important for you to keep up to date on state and federal laws affecting your safety. In addition, you need to be familiar with the safety of commercial motor vehicles, the size and weight of loads that may be carried, and the permits required to operate on our state highways. This Web page contains separate sections for the various subjects covered in the New Carrier Education manual.
View the complete Oregon New Carrier Education Manual
Size and weight regs
Got over-dimension variance permits? Plan ahead. Over-Dimension load entry and enforcement policy Road Use Assessment Fees View a slideshow about Heavy Haul Weight and Axle Use in Oregon Questions? The Motor Carrier Transportation Division currently has three experts available to provide free instruction and guidance on an individual or group basis. David Gaffney is based in Springfield, Roxanne Graves is based in La Grande, and Susan Westfeldt is in Ashland. These three District Training Coordinators work practically full time on outreach efforts to educate drivers and motor carriers.
Safety-Related Public Service Announcements Be ready, be buckled! (mp3) Granny Trucker says, Chain Up! (mp3) Safety Brochures The Motor Carrier Transportation Division has produced three safety-related brochures to draw motorists' attention to blind spots around trucks and to draw truckers' attention to dangerous downgrades on Oregon's highways. Truck Zone - Learn about safely sharing the road with trucks. There are four "No Zones" that every truck has and that every automobile driver should avoid: • Left side just behind the cab • Right side just behind the cab • Too close in front • Too close in back Your car is invisible in the "No Zones." That means trouble if the truck driver does not know you are there and tries to change lanes or has to stop suddenly. To stay out of these four "No Zones," make your car visible -- either pull ahead or drop back so the truck driver can see you. Remember, if you cannot see the truck driver's mirrors, he or she probably cannot see you. Siskiyou Pass - The Siskiyou Pass, commonly called "The Siskiyous," is a very hazardous part of Interstate 5 in Southern Oregon. The summit is at an elevation of 4,310 feet and going down involves losing about 2,300 feet of that in six miles at a 6% downgrade. There are sharp curves and this area is plagued by fog and chilly temperatures that make for some of the most hazardous visibility and road surface conditions in Oregon. More than 13,000 vehicles travel this stretch of highway daily and trucks are involved in about half of all accidents that occur here. Emigrant Hill - Emigrant Hill, commonly called "Cabbage Hill," is a very hazardous part of Interstate 84, west of La Grande in Eastern Oregon. This hill experiences some of the most changeable and severe weather conditions in the Northwest. Visibility is often limited and road surfaces are often icy. To get down Cabbage Hill, truckers lose about 2,000 feet of elevation in six miles and twist through a double hair pin turn at a 6% downgrade. More than 90% of the Cabbage Hill crashes involve out-of-state motor carriers!
Operation Safe Driver -In October 2007, safety officials across the country marked the first Operation Safe Driver week and joined together for various activities to shine a spotlight on commercial driver safety. The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA), sponsored the event and set "Increasing Driver Performance through Enforcement and Education" as the theme. It's all part of ongoing efforts to improve commercial and non-commercial driver behavior and performance through enforcement, education, and awareness strategies. CVSA notes that in the 141,000 truck crashes examined in FMCSA's Large Truck Crash Causation Study, commercial vehicle performance, recognition, and decision factors accounted for 88% of the critical reasons for the crashes. Here are some safe driving tips from an Operation Safe Driver brochure: What car drivers need to know about trucks and buses Truck and bus drivers will tell you many stories about being cut-off or passed by a car and the car driver proceeds to put on their brakes or dash to the next exit. You never hear of the near misses, accidents that ALMOST happened, on the local or national news – yet EVERYONE has their own story about this. And it's not what you drive around big trucks and buses that matters, it's HOW you drive. If we could put every member of the public in a truck or bus for a day, there would be a lot more awareness and a lot less crashes. But since we can't do that, get familiar with the following eight keys to keeping safe around big rigs. One or all of these could save your life.

Last week the House and Senate passed a new highway bill to fund surface transportation programs at current levels through the end of Fiscal Year 2014. The final agreement also included a one-year extension of the current interest rate for federal student loans and a five-year extension of the federal flood insurance program. The House passed the bill on a 373-52 vote and the Senate approved it on a 74-19 vote.
Congress also passed a short-term extension to fund transportation programs until the new bill is enacted. The President signed the extension on Friday and is expected sign the two-year authorization bill this week.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the law will reduce projected deficits by $16.3 billion over ten years. Since fuel tax revenues deposited into the highway trust fund are not enough to cover the bill's spending, the legislation transfers $18.8 billion from the general fund of the Treasury to the highway trust fund.
The bill also includes a number of offsets such as provisions that would affect business contributions to pension plans, and premiums paid to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. Also included was a new tax on roll-your-own cigarettes.
Policymakers deserve credit for including some offsets in the final agreement. However the offsets, general revenue transfers, and funding provided through Fiscal Year 2014 are at best a temporary solution. The fact remains that gas tax revenues coming into the trust fund are no longer sufficient to effectively fund transportation priorities.
An honest discussion of the trade-offs needed to fund those priorities is long overdue and should occur well before Congress considers another authorization bill.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Thank you so much everyone! All the posts have been very helpful to us.
|I sailed w/ my three year old (and three dogs) and it was a great experience for all of us. I don't think the typical situations that you experience w/ your children aboard are any different than what you encounter ashore. generally speaking. the extras ,however are un-measurable. we have been back ashore for 6 months noe and nary a day passes when she doesn't mention something related to the cruise and her unique perspective of those memories I hope to add to them and that they stay with her for a lifetime, I know they will for me.
Thanks for you inspiring experience and your ideas. We plan on boatschooling our kids as well but we would be homeschooling them if we were land based anyway. After reading a few books about the downfall of americas education I could not dream of doing otherwise.(I highly recommend A Thomas Jefferson Education) Actually our shift in thinking about how to educate our children has largely influenced our decision to sail around the world.
we cruised down the east coast from NC last yeaR with our 2 boys , then 9and 10. Cumberland island was a nice spot that we enjoyed , but that was really about it . To be fair we were trying to get a move on because it was cold ( nov) We did not find anywhere in FL that was friendly to cruisers let alone families in fact there was a guy at a marina in FT pierce that was down right ignorant to us, and FT L the boating capital of the world was no better.
The Bahamas however was Fantastic , friendly and safe . Great swimming snorkeling Warderick wells park was very educational and has insperied our boys to look at the planet as a whole and gave them a first hand experience with conservation and preservation. I imagine the FL keys would be a very similar sort of experience and we may try that this year though our draft is a bit too deep. The oportunity to visit new areas was not wasted on our boys . They actually like to go to museums now! When the oportunities arise take educational tours , nature walks etc. it costs a little more but it is learning without school and who does'nt like that? Also make sure you have a way for them to get off the boat without you having to drive them , it provides a sense of responsibility and independance, as well it makes the mommy and daddy time better if you get my drift. Have a plan for discipline. There will be no you are grounded and stay in your room on a boat. One friend of ours , and we now use this as well would make their kids write an essay. You know "why I shoild not talk during the morning wx broadcast "stuff like that. We use pushups 100 if you leave the light in the head on. The point is not punishment but an oportunity to be busy while you think about what you should have done plus if the're angry when they start them they usually are'nt when their done. The worst part? Homeschooling. By Far.
Good luck.
Oh I almost forgot cruising with kids is great and those that have not done it have missed a really fun experience. Kids engage other kids as well as adults and oportunities appear that may not have without kids . Like the time two turtle tagging biologists saw our kids and invited them to go turtle tagging . One of our boys actually caught a 40 lb turtle by himself....priceless.
Last year, we spent the first week with the family in the San Juans.. Specifically, Hope Island, Rosario on Orcas Island, Friday Harbor, Sidney on Vancouver Island, Roche Harbor, and Fisherman's Bay on Lopez. The Admiral and the kids flew back on a Kenmore Air seaplane. I took an extra couple of days to work on the boat (there's a great chandlery at Fisherman's Bay) and sailed the boat back.
This year, the family part of the cruise was Hope Island, Rosario, Reid harbor on Stuart Island, Bedwell Harbor on South Pender Island, Telegraph Harbor, Sidney, West Beach on Orcas and to Bellingham for a crew change.
With the second crew, we went to Blind Bay on Shaw Island, Friday Harbor, Roche Harbor, Rosario, and Langley on Whidbey Island.
This reminds me that I haven't posted my trip report yet. I will do soon.

This is great feedback. Thank you everyone!!!

More good input from Sailhog.
Especially the "git 'er done" part..

I must have a nicer family. Hog's problem probably originates with the difficulties he's presently having with his great uncle.

This year, I picked up a different crew for the second week.
WAY cheaper than a bigger boat!

Sorry for the tardy response... I just saw your question.
Our boat is a 1980 Catalina 30 tall rig. It's perfect for our family (wife and two daughters, ages 9 and 7) for a few days. After that, it starts to feel a little tight. In any case, we sail up and down the coast of South Carolina and on the ICW, and I can't even begin to tell what a wonderful experience it has been. The boat is designed for what we use it for: coastal cruising, and we never use it for anything else. We've sailed in heavier weather on the ICW, but never out on the open Atlantic.
One thing to bear in mind when sailing with children is that you have to plan everything out, and then explain it to everyone. If you're going to come about, you need to tell the kids so that their stack of dominoes or Legos doesn't go flying across the cabin. Also, you need to make sure that you never have to much sail up. When I'm at the helm, I always keep the mainsheet in my hand in the event that I need to dump some air.
Good luck to you. Do whatever you need to do to get your boat. Pull the plug on a hopsitalized great uncle if you need to. Git 'er done...

Quick GuideProstate Cancer Symptoms, PSA Test, Treatments
What are the risks of prostate cancer screening tests?
Decisions about screening tests can be difficult. Not all screening tests are helpful and most have risks. Before having any screening test, you may want to discuss the test with your doctor. It is important to know the risks of the test and whether it has been proven to reduce the risk of dying from cancer.
The risks of prostate screening include the following:
Finding prostate cancer may not improve health or help a man live longer.
Screening may not improve your health or help you live longer if you have cancer that has already spread to the area outside of the prostate or to other places in your body.
Some cancers never cause symptoms or become life-threatening, but if found by a screening test, the cancer may be treated. Finding these cancers is called overdiagnosis. It is not known if treatment of these cancers would help you live longer than if no treatment were given, and treatments for cancer, such as surgery and radiation therapy, may have serious side effects.
Some studies of patients with prostate cancer showed these patients had a higher risk of death from cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) disease or suicide. The risk was greatest the first year after diagnosis.
Follow-up tests, such as a biopsy, may be done to diagnose cancer.
If a PSA test is higher than normal, a biopsy of the prostate may be done. Complications from a biopsy of the prostate may include fever, pain, blood in the urine or semen, and urinary tract infection. Even if a biopsy shows that a patient does not have prostate cancer, he may worry more about developing prostate cancer in the future.
False-negative test results can occur.
Screening test results may appear to be normal even though prostate cancer is present. A man who receives a false-negative test result (one that shows there is no cancer when there really is) may delay seeking medical care even if he has symptoms.
False-positive test results can occur.
Screening test results may appear to be abnormal even though no cancer is present. A false-positive test result (one that shows there is cancer when there really isn't) can cause anxiety and is usually followed by more tests, (such as biopsy) which also have risks.
Your doctor can advise you about your risk for prostate cancer and your need for screening tests.
