As a Pre-check member, it would be of more value to your members and eligible travelers if you would PLEASE list the airports in the the following format:
Burbank (BUR) Bob Hope Airport
Guam (GUM) Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport
Most passengers are not familiar with the airport's official name, only in what city it's located. Sure, for multi-city airports (Chicago, New York, Houston, Dallas, etc.) the name is necessary to include, but please list the city FIRST.
Nobody says "I'm going to Bob Hope this morning".

So why should I have to pay $85 not to be treated like a criminal - especially the way I was at PHL in May?

"To date, more than 15 million passengers have experienced TSA Pre✓™ since it launched in October 2011."
Numbers are funny things. Your claim looks a lot less grand when you add that roughly 700 * 1.8 million = 1,260,000,000 passengers have transited TSA checkpoints during that time.
In other words, 99% of passengers have not experienced TSA Pre✓™ since it launched in October 2011.

Hand over our hard earned money to the TSA so they can do a background check and still deny passengers their rights to privacy, property, and dignity on the whim of a random screener.
All to fly domestically.
And not be one iota safer.
At the cost of $8 billion per year.
Think about it.

There is a lot of potential in TSA-Pre. The program should be expanded and the fees increased to cover costs. An initial fee and monthly or per-trip billing should be included. Otherwise non-traveling taxpayers are footing the costs for the travelers. TSA's costs should be fully funded by the travelers.

Why is this not the default level of screening for ALL passengers, and not just a perk reserved for the wealthy elite?

The Pre Check screening should be the standard screening method for all passengers, unless there is suspicion that the passenger is up to no good. You can continue to do the random selection for additional screening that is currently being done.
You talk about risk based screening, but 99.9999...+% of passengers are not risks.

It would be great if you would clarify the Pre eligibility rules. At the moment my understanding is that Global Entry members who are US nationals or Canadians are eligible. Dutch and German Global Entry members, however, are not. What is the rationale behind this?

Great, so a few more people can pay for the "privilege" of being "granted" the possibility of being treated a little more like they have the rights EVERYONE should have in the first place at no cost.
Does the TSA think the flying public should be grateful for the agency piecemealing back a few of our Constitutional rights for a price?
"Thank you, Screener Smith for only searching (and possibly stealing and breaking) my property because you didn't force me to take off my shoes and didn't assault me THIS TIME?"
The $85 is just an overpriced processing fee. Does it really take over 6 manhours ($15/hr data clerk) to Google someone? And because your vaunted "trusted traveller" who may have OK credit and no convictions you could find doesn't live near one of your 100 airports or the local screener is having a bad day doesn't get this "privilege."
Another waste of money and time for flyers. Another way to pathetically attempt to justify invading the privacy of Americans and put more data in your bloated DHS databases.

Why all the references to "wealthy" "rich" and "elite"? It's only $85!!!!!

With 60 more airports (100 total soon if I counted correctly) if a traveler has TSA Pre Check the liquid rules need to go away. As silly as the rules are (the total lack of secure disposal seems to confirm that) it made a kind of sense to keep them when so few routes had Pre Check on either end. The Global Entry ID means the traveler has been vetted though. Maybe at non Pre Check locations the otherwise trusted traveler still has to take his shoes off and take out his baggie but if he's vetted there shouldn't be a freak out over him having more than 300 ml of liquids. You can still randomly test the liquids from this pool of trusted travelers. The official line is testing everyone isn't practical. Well not everyone is in this trusted traveler program so liquid rule should go away if you have it with advisory you may get a random test. I can't be the only one who makes faces hoping I can get enough toothpaste out of the travel size to brush my teeth.

I live abroad and have two foreign nationalities. When flying into (and therefore, over) the US, I get checked by what are essentially Pre standards: shoes and sweater on, liquids in my bag, etc.
However, when I connect within the US or leave the country, I can't use Pre because, as a foreign national, I don't qualify.
Please explain my I am considered "low risk" flying into the country but not flying out of it.

Make TSA Pre mandatory, get the fees in line with the costs of TSA and collect the fees up-front with the purchase of the airline ticket. This solution gets the TSA creates a revenue stream and out of the taxpayer's pocket.

So Business Week has an article that states:
"U.S. travelers will be chosen on a case-by-case basis to use expedited-screening lines at airports without having to provide more personal information than they now give airlines, the Transportation Security Administration said."
Does this mean that the TSA has dropped its plan to extort $85 from passengers in order to be granted what all passengers should have: an assault-free trip through a checkpoint.

My wife and I aren't avid flyers, but I am tired of having to take my shoes off and back on, and other issues I have that aren't major but still an issue.

Probably not. It sounds like this new scheme is even more of a crap shoot than the extortion scheme.
However, overall it does appear that the TSA is admitting, in a very backhanded way in order to save face, that its screening procedures are virtually worthless. And that's a good thing.

Actually, the $85 only give you a chance that you'll keep your rights. Because of "randomness," you may still have to give up your rights, even though you've paid the extortion fee.

Actually, they're not. They are there to make it appear that the government is "doing something" about the supposed terrorist threat (which, BTW, even the TSA admits does not exist)... This is known as "security theater" and, many experts argue, actually make us all less safe rather than more. Are you arguing that the experts are wrong?

So I wanted to do a update.. Perseus is now 5 months . He now sleeps out side of his cage and would jump on my bed to sleep with me when my husband goes to work. He would wake me up to go out to pee, with kiss. He no long bites!! He is more mouthy by putting your hand or arm in his mouth, but not biting down. He might get my hand once in a while if we are playing tug a war and he tries to get a better grip. Perseus has no signs of aggression or being head shy. He loves kisses on his snout and forehead and rubs. I can actually sit with him and brush him and give hugs with no fear of biting!!!

IMO, being a MOD doesn't remove me from the right to having an opinion. I don't have to agree with people any more than you do. Your posts are conflicting IMO, and I pointed that out. I'm not personally attacking you. If you disagree with my post, say why, just like I did with you. I'm willing to listen and will clarify anything that I have failed to explain from my point of view.
If you feel that physically punishing a dog is wrong, don't do it. I'm OK with that. If you come to me in person with behavioral issues with a pup, I'm going to talk to you about them, talk to you about what I suggest to change the behavior of the dog, and find something you are comfortable with. Then I will help you implement these techniques. If you try something for a period of time and it is not working, I am going to suggest trying something else.
I'm not force feeding anyone anything. Take it or leave it. The advice is free and probably worth as much as you paid for it. I think there is much to be learned from debate. Maybe my skills at being tactful are lacking. People seem to be offended by my posts when I don't mean anything derogatory by them. I am a very direct person, and I say what I think. Maybe I need a better filter Feel free to point these things out to me, here or in a PM, so I can learn to not upset people. All I want to do is help people learn and learn something myself.
I trained horses for many years, a lot of those years were spent with horses ruined by owners who didn't know what they were doing, and no one else would help them (or they were charging too much to do it). As a result I developed great reflexes and instantaneous corrections for severe infractions. Believe me, if you have a stallion who's been allowed to bite all his life, you aren't going to correct him with a little slap. BUT--you have to be fair, immediate, and consistent.
I have trained a number of large, potentially aggressive canines throughout my life, and much of what I learned with horses does translate to dogs. You have to read your dog accurately, be fair, immediate and consistent. Once he is corrected, he is a good dog again and he should know that from you. The punishment (or aversion training) is greatly scaled down from a horse, of course, but the principles still apply. I think that where a great many people fail is that they don't have the ability to read their dog and know how he is going to react to a particular style of punishment. With horses, we always said that if you start a fight with an Arabian or Thoroughbred, be prepared to win it--they are intelligent and have a good sense of justice, and know whether they deserve it or not. Ditto with dogs. They're more intelligent than horses, and they know whether you are being too hard on them--whether the punishment fits the crime.
Right now I have a 5 year old VERY DA GSD bitch who came to me that way. We have a full-length glass door, and she watches out the door and goes crazy when she sees someone walking a dog. I scruff her immediately, (yes, she's definitely NOT a puppy!) because she deserves it when she goes ape-wild, but I know hitting her would make her worse. I am consistent with her and she is improving immensely. I let her have access to that door, because if not, I couldn't correct her behavior. I can tell by her bark what she sees out the door, and now I call her name once and she comes to me instead of ignoring me and slamming against the door and scaring the living daylights out of the human walking the dog outside! She is also doing much better on leash when she sees another dog, so I am happy with what is working. She is not afraid of my hands, she comes to me for affection. Dogs (and horses) are intelligent enough to understand consequences. The trainer has to be discerning enough, intuitive enough, to know his puppy/dog/horse, whatever, and know what will or won't work with that particular animal. If you don't have that intuition, read, read, read, and even more, OBSERVE your dog, watch his reactions to lots of different situations, watch his eyes, his ears, his tail, his body. Key into him, learn him, puppy or adult.
Sorry for the long post!

Because you have seen abuse doesn't mean everyone who uses physical corrections is abusing their dogs. Unless you believe any form of physical correction is wrong.
You tend to state things as fact at times, when in fact many disagree.
Also the term smacking I don't particularly like because there is too much room for interpretation. If smacking means punching a dog to you or others then of course it would be wrong.
As far as what people coulda, shoulda, woulda done with regard to training, remember the general public does not eat, sleep and live dogs.
To expect the general public to spend hours training their dogs is just unrealistic.
Most of them also don't live on dog forums.
I'm retired now but if I was still working there would be no way I could or would pay any attention to most of this stuff.
If you have a dog bite a 5 year old " you try your way it doesn't work you have to try another way! G burg even said he or she would hit as a last resort! Putting the dog up is like Ball if said about a killer" lock him up he is still a killer!
We were giving advice on stopping biting when your way was not working! I don't want to argue with you ! Train your way" I'll train mine " don't assume everyone
Is singling you out" you do it too your self you need to read the whole story before you comment I have trained almost 40 years know more than one way! You have a great day!! Bill

pardon me if i fail to understand how you think i am wrong
feel free to point out?
i have opinions like everyone else
i have a lot of experience in training as well although not as much as some and i can always learn more
but do please point out how i am 'wrong'?
because last time i checked people could have their own feelings and opinions and that does not make them 'wrong' necessarily
ftr since some question my ability to give any advice
what i do is take dogs that have been wrecked if you will and then subsequently dumped
which is how i know about hand shy dogs and why i advise against aversive training techniques to begin with
i have rarely seen people invested in clicker training fail and ditch the dog
on the other hand i have seen plenty whose owners smacked them around until the dog was unworkable for them and the dog was then given up

Yup!!! What I have seen and experienced in my time raising dogs and through my jobs is that people want immediate gratification. A method does not work the first time, they try something else, then something else, then something else. People are inconsistent because they want immediate results.
It doesn't work that way.
I go the same route G-burg outlined. Teach the dog what you want before correcting for what you don't want. My last resort with a baby puppy is a nose smack. Very last resort. If I have to resort to that, than I am doing something wrong. I don't take issue with verbal correction in a puppy, I don't take issue with holding a snout until they let go. I take issue with telling strangers on the internet to smack/hit their puppy because EVERYTHING ELSE HAS FAILED. It's a baby!!! No one with an 11week old puppy can tell me that is acceptable. There has not been enough consistency to make that approach ok to me. You can't punish what you haven't taught. And a baby, no matter how long you have them has not been taught.
If after a week if praise for going potty outside your pup has an accident, do you punish it? NO! It's a baby. You take stock, figure out where you failed and improve.
And yes. The crate was a godsend with my latest puppy. I used it liberally.

Leesa, I totally agree. I read books and train with all types of trainers. I think Karen Pryor is a great clicker trainer. I have learned a lot about shaping behavior from her books. Would I take an aggressive dog to her for training, heck no. I've learned a lot from working with old school guys that think nothing past Koehler has any merit, and what they do works so why try anything different.
Dogs are as different as people are as different as trainers.
In the end, if you get what you are looking for out of the dog as a whole, you are on the right path.
If you feel that physically punishing a dog is wrong, don't do it. I'm OK with that. If you come to me in person with behavioral issues with a pup, I'm going to talk to you about them, talk to you about what I suggest to change the behavior of the dog, and find something you are comfortable with. Then I will help you implement these techniques. If you try something for a period of time and it is not working, I am going to suggest trying something else.
Heck, I've trained with some hard core trainers and have learned a lot from each and every one of them.. Some techniques I willing to try and have worked well for me.. And others, no way in h*** would I do to my dogs..

Our classes always start with redirection, redirection, redirection to something that is appropriate to bite/chew on.. Teaching them how to make the object come a live and be more entertaining.. If that doesn't work removing the person and or the pup from the situation in a calm manner and crating them for a while.. the pup that is... And if that doesn't work then a good swat on the snout with a firm "no" or "enough." Very rarely is the latter warranted.. We also recommend keeping the pup leashed to you if small kids are involved.. That way you can immediately intervene..

I'd also like to explain something.
I am a Sergeant, through and through. I train dogs and people to do dangerous stuff in dangerous places, and I take that very seriously. In my daily life, I have to take Privates that know nothing and turn them into soldiers very quickly. This reality has certainly affected the way I deal with people, quite possibly in a negative way. I don't sit around and discuss things with them in training. I show them how to do it, give them a standard to live by, and then hold them to that standard.
I am sure that this has affected my ability to communicate in the civilian world. I have only spent 5 months out of the last 4 years at home. It is going to take some hard work and time for me to get back to reality.
I truly apologize if I have inadvertently offended you or anyone else. It was not my intention at all.

Something I noticed
Heres something I noticed and I guess self corrected on my M II kit. I was short one bolt for the lower shock, the one bolt I had was a grade 8 and I asked on this board if it would be alright to use a grade 5 instead. Members told me no to use a grade 8 and that all the bolts should be grade 8. I checked and found that other bolts in the kit were grade 5, I can't remember now where they all went, but I replaced all bolts to grade 8. Is this something we should all look at??
|The ones that I am using are from a company in Colorado that I have the name in my tool box in the garage (I am at work right now) It came with a spacer and a gusset that I made sure was welded solid to the cross-member. and it bolts also to the lower control arm forming a complete A arm. The side effect is that it gave the car a better ride than it had with the strut rods.
EBlack36, what type strut rod eliminators are you using? Did you weld in any additional supports when the eliminators were installed?
As far as weight goes, Ford's not the first to use that type suspension. If you've ever seen a 64 or later Rambler or AMC, you'll see the same thing. AMC started using a strut rod (compressed, as with the MII) in 1962. The lower arm with ball joint and crossmember is very similar to the MII unit. The only significant difference is the location of the spring -- it's above the steering knuckle on the AMC design, similar to an early Mustang/Falcon. AMC used a big, heavy 287 and 327 V-8 at the time, about the size and weight of a 396 Chevy or 352/390 Ford engine. Only spring location is different in the small Fords too -- Falcon and Mustang used a similar setup. I think the Fairlane did too, but had front strut rods (in tension) rather than rear (in compression). So the overall design isn't flawed -- it's been used for years in different variations.
|I just recently installed a mustang II front end on my 63 nova and I haven't had any problems with it YET. I believe it is a safe and a well put together kit, from HEIDTS hotrod shop!
|I agree with both centerline and tony@airride in that it depends on where the engine is mounted on how much weight is placed on the front cross member. In the 36 the entire engine is behind the cross member and when I weighed the car after I got it completed in 97 the amount of weight on the front was within 25 pounds of the amount of weight on a V6 Mustang II. As I am not a professional welder I make sure and get my car up on a lift a couple of times a year just to make sure the I do not have any cracks. FYI i am running a stock MII cross member as no one was building a unit for the Pontiac when I started building the car in 1987. I have driven the car from Kentucky to Colorado and from South Dakota to Texas during that time and Have not had a single problem. I also have the strut rod eliminators and have not had a problem with them either. One of the problems that I have noticed on other cars is that some people try to get them very low and the lower arms are not setting level, this causes undo stress on all of the other suspension components, plus it makes them much more difficult to be aligned properly. My car aligns to stock 1976 MII specifications and I have never had a problem in getting it aligned. I have now used up a whole dime worth of time so I will get down off of the soap box for now.
The most important factor in this whole equasion is "Who is welding what to what"..............
I hear what you are saying and to a point I will agree with you but I would also side with them for not coming into a discussion over an internet chat board. You could basically be inviting them to a hangmans party. With the number of shady internet users out there a conversation on a chat board can be very one sided.
A Mustang II equipped with a 302 loaded down with air conditioning put much more stress on the front suspension than most street rods would ever think of. What most people fail to understand is that this IFS was designed to have the engine mounted directly over the crossmember. When it comes to street rods, most typically mount the engine with the front crank dampener at the crossmember. This lowers the percentage of weight the front suspension has to support dramatically. That's why most cars running big blocks or Hemis only need 4 cyl. springs when using a Mustang II IFS. Because the engine is mounted further to the rear, the center of gravity (fore and aft) is moved rearward a significant amount and the front suspension simply doesn't need to support as much weight as it was originally designed to carry.
I know Jon didn't like Gary Heidts letter but Gary was correct. There are literally thousands of these systems (manufactured by many companies) on the road today. When you take into consideration the majority were installed by shadetree mechanics and the fact that some people insist on modifying Ford's original design by eliminating the strut rods, its a miracle there haven't been more failures. Of all the traversing of the internet I've done I have only read discussions of three people who experienced failures. Two were the result of using strut rod eliminators and one was a strut rod bracket that broke off the frame under braking due to poor bracing/welding.
When a Mustang II IFS system is installed properly, using stock Mustang components, including strut rods, they are very safe for all but the heaviest of street rods.
|Years ago, when first introduced, the MII from end was only available for pre 34 rods. If you look at the size and weight of a MII vs. Early rods, they are fairly even. Other than poor installation I don't remember this issue ever coming up. Now the MII is available for just about everything. The MII was never designed or engineered for that kind of weight and stress and that now we have failures. Just look at what the front end was on: Pinto's and Mustang II's, hardly a Hi-Po front end design no matter how many coil-over shocks, ect, you throw at it.
What sent up a red flag for me was Heidt's response letter, in this thread. It's full of PR doubletalk, and comes across as an attempt to do some damage control. The way he's presenting the statistics on the number of failures leaves much to be desired.
I spoke with Fatman Fabrications on the phone at length. I was polite and diplomatic. They were cagey, rude, and defensive. If they're willing to discuss it, then I feel that they should have responded to my email and phone requests to address the issue in a public forum.
Tony -- maybe you can put in a good word for us with some of these MII manufacturers, or drop them a line and invite them to join in the discussion?
|Tony has a good point. Hot rod suspensions really aren't designed to be pounded constantly like an OEM system. Many were designed for light cars and are being installed in daily driven cars. But on the same token we KNOW where the weak points are now. I don't expect small manufacturers (relative to the big auto manufacturers) to test designs as much as the OEMs, but there should be improvements made now that we know where the weak points are. There should be extra braces and warnings sent with strut rod eliminators as well -- that seems to be the crux of the problem. I haven't seen an aftermarket MII crossmember failure when used with strut rods, just when the strut rod eliminators are used. The only strut rod eliminator I've seen that looks safe doesn't mount to the crossmember -- it bolts in place of the strut rod and goes back near the same lines with a bracket that welds to the body. That type doesn't put added stress on the crossmember. The "A" arm types do.
I know almoast all of the front crossmember manufacturers personally and I can surely tell you guys that there is no way ANY of them would pass off a product to the public if they even had the smallest idea of it being a flawed design. Now true there are a few "less desireable" designs and some front ends that should only be used on very light smaller street rods, there is one thing we need to keep from doing here and that is pointing a finger without knowing all of the CORRECT information. A failure such as a few mentioned in the previous posts could have been caused by a number of different factors. The largest factor in my opinion, besides the obvious faulty install is the condition of the original frame and chassis. If the original chassis is worn out and exhibits an abnormal amount of flex its a no brainer that there will eventually be a premature failure.
Personally, I would use an aftermarket crossmember long before I went to a bone yard to cut out an OEM piece...... My point in all of this is that we do not need to jump on the fingerpointing bandwagon until all of the votes are in. We also have to keep in mind that for the most part we are dealing with Hot Rods that have had decades of modifications performed to them and we are also dealing with manmade components that require a great deal of expertise to install properly.
|I put a Nova subframe in my 51 Ford pickup. Frame and all. Made sure it was absolutely square. Look at it this way.....GM spends millions on designing these suspension systems. Why let some little fly by night manufacturer come between "your" LIFE AND DEATH.
|I am in agreement with Centerline in that maybe this forum could in the long run be used to improve the units that many of us now have under our cars. I have been on the NSRA Kansas safety team for 3 years and have seen some things that were so unsafe I told the owner that he should put it on the trailer to take it home. One thing I found on my own car this year is that when I installed the sway bar the links were too short (less than 1/2 inch clearance) and would some times make contact with the inner tie rod ends on the MII rack when I would hit a bump in the road, mostly at slow speeds, installed a slightly longer link and the problem was solved. Most of the things that I have seen were installation problems although a couple of my fellow inspectors found a unit in a car that was made out of much too thin of metal. On a related subject I have seen brake lines mounted with wire ties and just about every manner and the same car running without an e-brake, that is a disaster just waiting to happen. One last thing if you are at a show and they are doing safety inspections do yourself a favor and let these guys and gals have a look at your car, they are all volunteers and are not there to criticize you ride they just give you a second set of eyes that may see something that you missed, it does happen. Well I have put in my 2 cents worth so need to let someone else have the soapbox.
Jon this is a great idea to spur a constructive dialog on the safety of these systems. What we will have to be careful of is the tendency to "bash" a particular brand from a user stand point and the manufacturers are going to have to stand back and do their best not to get too defensive when people voice concerns.
I don't believe there is a single company out there that would intentionally produce a flawed product, especially when it comes to the safety of their customers. If there are insights the manufacturers may have on problem areas the shade-tree mechanic should be aware of it would certainly be beneficial to everyone.
One thing this should not be is one of those "my product is better than the other guys" arguments.
Are Mustang II Crossmembers Safe?

Are Mustang II Crossmembers Safe?
Multiple catastrophic failures of aftermarket crossmember kits have motivated a recent evaluation of the safety of these units.
Additionally, general concerns about the viability of Mustang II suspensions in home-built hot rods have come to the forefront.
Some rod builders are insisting on only purchasing certain types of units, from certain manufacturers, with specific modifications. Others are opting for installing a stock Mustang II crossmember for safety purposes, choosing to rely on Detroit engineering over aftermarket manufacturers.
Here are some of the questions that have been raised on the Hotrodders Bulletin Board in regards to Mustang II crossmembers:
--Are some types of Mustang II crossmember units safer than others? If so, why?
--What modifications can be made to aftermarket units to improve their safety?
--Are stock Mustang II units inherently safer than the aftermarket versions?
--Are crossmember manufacturers concealing crucial safety information from hotrodders?
Here are some comments from engineers, machinists, and professional hot rod builders on the Hotrodders Bulletin Board:
***On the general safety of installing crossmembers:
"ALL suspension changes can only turn out as good as the skill of the installer, regardless of the suspension used." (Deuce Roadster)
"I wouldn't consider aftermarket x-members over a stock unit for a daily driver for safety reasons." (willys36)
"It doesn't matter who builds your chassis, a pro-builder or if you do it at home, when components are "adapted" it can put a different type of stress on parts that may have not been tested by the factory for that particular type of stress. Street rod chassis manufacturers and parts manufacturers don't have the facilities or money to test their units for structural integrity the way Detroit does so regular inspections are a must." (Centerline)
"You have to pay attention to detail when buying one of them, and even more when installing one." (Primemover)
***On specific cases of catastrophic failures of aftermarket crossmembers:
"Another example is the broken Heidt's x-members that have been publicized here recently. That design is flawed since it introduces a stress riser at a highly stressed point in the x-member then eliminates the strut rods which were intended to lessen the stress in that location. Give that design to any graduate mechanical engineer and he will confirm that fatigue cracks are guaranteed." (willys36)
"In the cases of the very small minority who have had failures, these failures were most often the result of poor installation and/or using strut rod eliminator kits without proper strengthening of the crossmember." (Centerline)
"Being a mechanical engineer I have often wondered when something like this would happen. As many of you have observed there may be a problem with the fabricated front crossmember...not just this particular manufacturer but all in general, since they are all similar." (bentwings)
"I hate to say it but [Heidt's] design seems flawed to me, have a look under your factory vehicle and notice the design of the crossmember, I see none of those design features incorporated in this example." (4 Jaw Chuck)
"As far as testing our products, we introduced our Superide Independent Rear Suspension kits recently. I installed the first one in my '57 Chevy pick-up. It was a great opportunity to test a new product, as we left the box off the truck for two weeks so we could do torque and force measurements easily. I pounded on it as much as I could for those two weeks, literally driving through every pot hole and railroad track I could find. This kind of testing was great, as it showed that the design was sound." (Gary Heidt)
***On the statistical significance of crossmember failures:
"Five complete structural failures in 40,000 for a critical suspension component would mean a massive recall to a manufacturer like one of the big three. I think his product was never tested to failure if you ask me and he is terrified of that coming out in a court room." (4 Jaw Chuck)
"An estimate of all the manufacturers in entire street rod industry would show that there were probably a total of 30,000 sets of control arms and 40,000 crossmembers sold in the last 10 years combined. Of all these products out there from all these companies, don't you think that if there was a genuine problem with this type of design that there would be hundreds and hundreds of failures, not just a hand full?" (Gary Heidt)
"It sounds like Fatman has one heck of a sales crew and know just what to say, but 5 failures in 40,000 units is a VERY high number, that means that you have a 1:8,000 chance of a catastrophic suspension failure (if that was the standard new cars were made to 20,000 new cars would have a front suspension failure every year in the United Sates alone!!)"

I am very new to the world of TEFL and will be starting a CELTA in the new year, as some of you might have seen from my posts on other threads.
Until I begin my CELTA course [assuming that the college to which I have applied is happy with my pre-course test!!] I am trying to gain as much experience as possible. I have been working as a volunteer assistant with various groups of learners etc.
Several people I know have suggested that I apply to an organisation called Vaughan Town in order to get some further experience. Let me say at the outset that I am satisfied that this is a genuine organisation: it has a proper website etc.
My question is this: is Vaughan Town really treating its 'volunteers' fairly?
From what I can find out on its website and from talking to people, Vaughan Town was started in Spain by an American called Richard Vaughan, with the purpose of teaching Spaniards to speak English by a 'total immersion' method.
Vaughan Town is a fully commerical concern, not a form of not-for-profit cultural organisation. The way that it operates appears to be that Spaniards [who mainly come from large Spanish companies] pay Vaughan Town around 4000 Euros a week. For this, they get taken to a complex in Spain where NO Spanish is allowed to be spoken. Instead, the Spaniards get 1-to-1 English Conversation with native English speakers [who may be American, English, Australian, Irish, Canadian etc.] who are known as Anglos. This teaching start at breakfast and continues until after dinner. It appears that the Anglos 'move on' to a 'new' Spaniard every hour or so, but even with a couple of hours 'off work' during the 'siesta', the Anglos [who appear to be mostly graduates / professional people etc] find themselves 'teaching' for 8 or 9 hours a day. It appears to be reasonably 'hard' work.
Here is the bit that I am worried about: the Anglos receive 'free accommodation and 3 meals a day' for the week they spend at the complex. They get no other form of payment [not even 'pocket money'] and so have to pay for any items of personal expenditure themselves. [Mostly bar bills and visits to the complex swimming pool etc]. Fair enough perhaps, except that the Anglos are ALSO required to pay for their own flights to Spain and also for the 2 overnight stays they require - at the beginning and at the end of the week. Vaughan Town does cover health insurance and also travel from Madrid to the venue, which I think is several hours by road from Madrid.
My question is this - do people here think that the Anglos are being exploited to some degree by this sytem? To me, it seems that Vaughan Town is actually getting its tutors for free. The company is a fully commerical concern, and a quick google I did this evening turns up a newspaper article about Vaughan himself entited ' How I made millions' [of dollars out of my English teaching system].
Whilst it does seem that many of the Anglos have a good time [albeit a tiring time, as it seems quite hard work] and many friendships are apparently formed, the whole system makes me feel a little uneasy. Obviously I would have no qualms if Vaughan Town was a not-for-profit organisation [or some form of educational institution] but it just seems to be a bit of a con.
I hope that people here do not think that I am going into TEFL teaching with the wrong frame of mind, and I am more than happy to work for free [which I am doing with the volunteer work I am undertaking at present] for not-for-profit organisations and neither do I expect to earn a fortune as a TEFL teacher, but there is something that worries me about the Vaughan Town arrangement.
Thank you for reading this.

I would try advancing your base timing two degrees at a time (12, 14, etc.) and see how she responds. Also make sure you have a good signal to the vacuum advance and she is advancing properly. Most Mallory distributors come with adjustable vacuum advance cans. There is a screw that adjusts with an allen key through the nipple hole (where the vacuum hose goes) which adjusts your vacuum advance. I don't remember where my directions are for adjusting the vacuum advance but I'm sure Mallory's tech line could help. You may need to experiment a little bit with both ignition and carb adjustments. My base timing is set at 15* BTDC and I tweaked my vacuum advance to give me more advance under part throttle. Every engine is different as far as how much advance they need. Last but not least I assume you are setting base timing with the vacuum hose to the advance disconnected and the hose plugged.
|The mallory is vacuum advanced. It is designed to run by itself. WHen I put it in I set it to 0 degree and it started but was real sluggish and died. then I set it 10 degree advance thats when It sounded fine but had no power.
Just a couple of quick questions. You never mentioned in either post what you are setting your timing at. The first step after installing any distributor is checking timing. Also since I'm short for time and don't know the Mallory numbers you posted, is your Mallory vacuum advance? Is the Mallory you're installing designed to run without an ignition box or computer? If it is a self-contained unit that requires no external box or computer it should work with an after-market Holley carb.
Well I got some it solved. I found TDC and from another forum I was told how to get it so the new dist. lined up the way i'm use to. I put back in the old dist. and it worked fine, but when I put the Mallory back in the car was still real sluggish. Now is this a power issue? Someone told me it might be. I assume the stock plug to the HEI coil is 12V. The other thing is that the stock distributor plugs into the computer, but the mallory doesn't nor do I want it to. I don't think this has anything to do with it but I could be wrong. I also have an MSD 6A ignition box , now if I installed that would it help or just be in not solving the problem? Any help is appreciated.
It seems to me like you just need to start from scratch. This link will step you through it: http://73-87.com/7387garage/drivetrain/disremov.htm
Good luck.
Mallory HEI distributor
I recently purchased a Mallory HEI dis. model# 8548201c. I got it to replace my stock distributor on my '84 Ponitac Grand Prix , Chevy 305. I have a Holly Carb and was told I would need a earlier style dis. I called summit and they recommended this distributor cause I wanted to stay HEI. I knew that the connection to the ECS would be lost and I kinda wanted it to. Let me get to the point, I removed the old distributor making sure the rotor was pointing at the num. 1 spot and I removed it. The rotor spun during removal but it had to in order to release. I tried placing the mallory so that the rotor would be lined up the same facing num.1 ( the line I drew on the manifold) , but it wouldn't mesh so I spun the rotor until it meshed perfectly down into the block. I wired everything I could back up, but it wouldn't start. I was told after asking around that maybe I "180 out". Not sure what that meant but I decided to move the wires around on the cap keeping the same firing sequence 1,8,4,3,6,5,7,2. I just rotated them to different spots on the cap. It originally looked like this on the cap:
.........................................3........ .7
.........................................4........ .2
But the only way it would start is when I moved the #1 wire to the 2 spot and everything sequenctially (2 to 7, 7 to 5,... 8 to 1) . It started but wasn't working right had no power. I didn't change the sequence just the spots on the cap. I'm really not sure what I'm doing wrong so any help would really make my day. And if you need any more info I'll tell you whatever I can.

South Salt Lake police were investigating an apparent homicide at an apartment early Sunday.
Police spokesman Gary Keller said officers responded about 4:05 a.m. to the residence at 2389 S. 300 East when someone called 911 to report shots fired.
When officers arrived, Keller said they found a 43-year-old woman dead inside with a gunshot wound to the upper body. He said the death was being investigated as a homicide until investigators determined otherwise. An autopsy was planned.
Keller said officers had to obtain a search warrant to enter the apartment after they determined the woman was dead inside.
The woman's name has not yet been released pending the notification of her family.
Anyone with information is asked to call South Salt Lake police at 801-840-4000.

Good review, man.
TBT kills pow, btw. I have a whatever which is on the softer side, but not a noodle, and it really did....Whatever.
Medium soft, for me, means that while it may take a little effort to get into presses, you're not fighting the board. Also, on tougher terrain, it'll do it, but you normally want a stiffer baord.
Probably my favorite flex. 4-5 outta 10

Lobster Freestyle 2012/2013 Board review
I figured I would do a quick review on my new board for this year.
We will be talking about the Lobster Freestyle 2012/13
Specs-I am riding the 152 cm version (Burton Missions Bindings). The board has a medium to stiff flex, and a cambered profile, with Triple Base Tech.
(if you don't know what triple base is I suggest watching this video https://vimeo.com/26479625 and checking out this web page Lobster Snowboards)
Initial thoughts- This was the first board I have ever ridden that had Triple Base Tech (Or TBT) Also keep in mind this was my first day riding in over 8 months.
The first few runs made me feel a bit rusty as I got adjusted to TBT. On a normal board when you carve you feel your edge immediately bite into the snow, however on this there is this feeling of "rolling" onto my edges. The first few runs I would wash out as I tried to bite my edge in and would end up leaning too far and slipping onto my knees/back.
Once I was adjusted carving felt better than it ever has. It makes the board feel much more loose, and "floaty" when I am free riding it. Even with this TBT the board remains very responsive and can maneuver as well as any board I have ridden.
The board also has a lot of pop due to it's flex pattern and camber. This made it a lot of fun to just hop around doing flat ground 180's ect.
After getting adjusted I took the board to the park. This is where the board really shines!
(Our local hill did not have any jumps set up, so I will be updating this thread when I can speak on how the board handles off of kickers.)
The pop is excellent for getting onto taller rails without much effort. You would think TBT would make 50-50's and presses harder but after shaking off the rust they felt as locked in as ever.
My personal favorite part, was how the board handled on perpendicular slides. Frontside and Backside boardslides in the center of the board (With the rail in between the bindings) felt normal. When I started doing slides on my nose, and tails, I could really feel the TBT.
On a normal shaped board when sliding through features sideways you have to be extremely careful to stay flat based. While on this board you still have to keep your base flat, I personally felt as though the TBT lifting my edges away from the rail helps to avoid catching. It made it easier to learn a few new tricks that you have to spin into (like cab 270 front board 270 out on a flat box) The TBT really helps add a jib element to the board and brings the package around full circle for me.
If mother nature agrees with me this year, I will also update this thread on how the board preforms in powder. I imagine the TBT will make all the difference when riding in the white stuff.
Please leave thoughts in the comments. This is my first board review so criticize away, whether it be on content, or structure ect.

Prenoti un'auto a noleggio con British Airways, in collaborazione con Avis, per usufruire di eccellenti tariffe, flessibilità e comodi luoghi di riconsegna.
British Airways car hire, in partnership with Avis, includes all of the mandatory charges that you'll need to drive away your car in Bologna.
Sited at one of northern Italy's major crossroads, Bologna is ideally located for people who want to explore Italy by car. British Airways car hire – in partnership with Avis – offers customers a conveniently large choice of pick-up and drop-off points, 24-hour customer service and the chance to earn Avios with every hire.
While inner Bologna can be congested, the city is well connected to the motorway network and thus within a few hours' drive of a large chunk of the country. This means that it's easy to combine a stay in or around Bologna with visits to Rimini's beaches, the Appenine Mountains, the ancient cities of Modena and Parma and Romeo and Juliet's home town of Verona.
The classic Italian resort, Rimini is both a family-friendly beach destination as well as a nightlife hub that's Italy's closest answer to Magaluf. Behind the seafront's modern hotels, it also has an historic core containing Roman remains and Baroque palaces. Rimini is an hour's drive from Bologna.
The hometown of Enzo Ferrari and Luciano Pavarotti, Modena's old town houses a stunning Romanesque cathedral and many shops selling regional specialities such as Lambrusco wine, balsamic vinegar and Parmesan cheese. To the west of Bologna, Modena is less than an hour's drive from the city.
Perhaps the most relaxed of Italy's great art cities, Verona is 90 minutes' drive from Bologna. Its well preserved Roman arena hosts a world-famous summer opera festival, Arena di Verona, while its old city has good designer boutiques along Corso Botari and many open-air restaurants lining the River Adige.
Italy's second city and its fashion capital, Milan is a particularly chic destination just 2 hours' drive from Bologna. Home to one of the country's most spectacular cathedrals and its best opera at La Scala, it also has some of Italy's best people watching in the cafés of the splendid 19th century Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.

Lee, I painted my bells and knees today using the Reefer yellow. I sprayed the full bottle on both sets of armor, but it is still as yellow as can be. It is no where near turning the orangish yellow as I think it should as in your armor pic and on the CD.... Should I get another bottle and spray it on?Quote:

The knees ar misted with UP armor yellow. But mist in streaks if that makes sense it's kind of splotchy. It creates a darker shadowy area. Do you happen to have any photos of the shoulders from AOSW? you can see a slightly darker yellow misted on the bells.
I sprayed the Med Green on the armor and it looks great!!!
Does the green armor have the black wash to darken it and blend everything in as well like the helmet?

REPORT: Marlins Hire Mike Redmond as Manager
According to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com, the Miami Marlins have hired former Marlin catcher Mike Redmond to be the team's next manager.
Redmond retired from playing in 2010 and was recently the manager of the Toronto Blue Jays Single-A affiliate, the Dunedin Blue Jays.
Redmond has a friendly relationship with owner Jeffrey Loria and team official Larry Bienfest and was considered as a front runner for the job from the beginning. The Marlins also interviewed former Phillies manager Larry Bowa.
Redmond will replace Ozzie Guillen after a season filled with so much promise fell way short of expectations.

Mini pita pizzas recipe
Who doesn't love pizza? With these healthy, high fibre pizzas you can indulge - without feeling even the slightest bit guilty. Feta, char-grilled capsicum and tomato load them with a family-friendly yet gourmet taste, but you can easily modify flavours if needed. Easy, tasty and healthy? Brilliant!
Budget, Dinner, Food kids will eat, Healthy recipes, Italian food, Kids cooking, Lunchbox, Pizza, Toddler , Vegetarian

- 2 tsp Italian Herbs
- 150g char-grilled red capsicum, thinly sliced
- 100g feta cheese, crumbled

Place the pita breads onto a baking tray. Spread tomato pasta sauce over the base of each pita. Arrange your tomato slices and onion on top and sprinkle with dried herbs.
Add capsicum and sprinkle with feta. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then add olives and rosemary.

Marshall Space Flight Center
Photos submitted by Dr. Brian McFarland on 4/10/2006.
Ozarks students Nathan Williams, Alissa Ferrari, and Ember Smith visited the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, AL, to visit NASA polymer chemistry research labs and discuss their research project with NASA scientists. The students are working on polymer-repair systems that could be useful for in-flight repair. This photo, taken at NASA's Space and Rocket Center, shows Nathan, Alissa and Ember with a Mercury spacecraft simulator (the Mercury spacecrafts were used in very early manned spacecraft flights, used to put an astronaut in Earth's orbit).
The students also had an opportunity to examine polymer samples that were prepared in the NASA research center. These samples are similar to what the students are working on in their project.

This month's "One of Hardin County's Finest Cooks" is a lady who goes way back in my life. She and my mom were band boosters at West Hardin High School while my sister, Carolyn, and her daughter, Diana, were in the Laker band. I also was in high school with her son, Michael, who is a year younger than me.
Congratulations to Betty Richardson, who once lived in Howevalley, west of Cecilia, on Ky. 84 and now lives comfortably off U.S. 62 in Elizabethtown.
She was nominated by her niece, Kelly Mooney. It was Kelly's idea to feature Aunt Betty's fudge, peanut butter balls, broccoli casserole and banana croquettes. Kelly's mom and Betty's sister-in-law, Brenda Bewley, echoed her daughter's sentiments about Betty's cooking and agreed the four recipes featured today are absolutely wonderful.
I always have had banana croquettes with mayonnaise only on the bananas and then rolled in crushed peanuts. Betty's recipe has a type of custard on them and I know they must be labor-intense but well worth the effort.
Betty told an interesting story about learning to cook. She said she never really learned how to cook from her mother. Once she was married, she ordered a cookbook from Sears, Roebuck and Co. When she received it, she started cooking, following recipes line by line. Over time, she fine-tuned any recipe she had a problem with and improved recipe by recipe.
Congratulations, Betty, and thank you for sharing your excellent recipes. I have a feeling readers will tuck away a couple of these for Christmas celebrations.
Remember, you can nominate a man or woman whom you think is "One of Hardin County's Finest Cooks." I have the August nominee, but need nominations for the remaining months, so put on your thinking caps and let's honor deserving cooks.
Pesto update: The recipe for pesto, published June 19, called for parsley flakes. The recipe is correct but a friend, who makes pesto in the summer and freezes it and then uses it all winter for flavorful additions to pasta, soups and salad dressings, told me her pesto uses basil. And, after I think about it, most pestos do. So, if you have basil in your garden, try making your pesto with it instead of dried parsley.

Broccoli casserole
1 c. uncooked instant rice
1 c. cold water
½ c. margarine, melted
1 can cream of mushroom soup
8 oz. jar Cheez Whiz
½ c. chopped celery
½ c. chopped onion
16 ounce package of frozen chopped broccoli
1 sleeve buttery round crackers
¼ c. margarine, melted
Mix rice, water, 1/2 cup margarine, soup and Cheez Whiz together. Add celery, onion and broccoli. Mix well by hand. Crush crackers and mix with 1/4 cup margarine. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes.
Banana croquettes (Banana Peanut Salad)
1 t. flour
1 T. sugar
¼ t. ground mustard
1 T. butter
1 egg, well beaten
2 T. vinegar
Crushed peanuts
Mix flour, sugar and mustard. Add butter, egg and vinegar. Cook over medium heat in a double boiler until mixture thickens. If using large bananas, cut each in about three pieces. Use a spoon to coat with dressing and then roll bananas in peanuts. You will need to double the dressing amounts if you are making more than a few.
Chocolate fudge
2/3 c. evaporated milk
1 2/3 c. sugar
¼ c. margarine
½ t. salt
2 c. marshmallows
1 ½ c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 t. vanilla
½ c. chopped nuts
Heat milk, sugar, margarine and salt until boiling and boil for five minutes. Remove from heat; add marshmallows and chocolate chips, vanilla and nuts. Stir until chocolate and marshmallows melt and are well combined with other ingredients. Pour into a buttered dish. Cool and cut into squares.
Peanut Butter Balls (Buckeye Candy)
12 oz. jar peanut butter
1 stick butter
4 ¾ c. powered sugar
1 cup chocolate chips
Melt butter and peanut butter over low heat or in double boiler. Add sugar and allow to cool until it can be handled easily. Roll into shape of buckeyes. In double boiler, melt one cup chocolate chips. Dip the buckeye into chocolate. Place on waxed paper to cool. You can melt the chips in microwave also.
Nora's Note: I believe you leave one end of the buckeyes uncoated.

Lacoste Sunglasses
Thinking that the "Sunglasses at Night" music video is an instructional video is a mistake that you do not want to make. I can't begin to tell you how many beams I've run into and stairs I've fallen down. Trust me, it makes much more sense to wear your Lacoste sunglasses during the day.

text: The young,new, or uneducated shooter, is that really that strange of a question. Consider th .22 cal., short,long,long rifle are most common but few know of the .22 auto. the number of less than memorable calibers out there that never quite made the impact that the designer hoped for. Many collectors enjoy finding such to add to the unusual collection but a novice shooter getting a handgun from a relative of friend and doesn't understand what is meant, it isn't too bad to ask. We have been around for a year or two and learned a thing or two but I can say I still find guns and cal. that I haven't seen before or heard of, yes I chuckle at some questions I hear of read but I am glad they are asking to learn, and being safe. It is much better than reading some one bought ammo that wasn,t proper for the weapon they were using and it blew up in thier face and they are in critical condition.

Mile-High Coconut CupcakesThese coconut cupcakes are a mile-high with icing and amazing flavor.
Double Coconut CakeDouble the coconut flavor in your cake by adding coconut milk to the cake batter and coconut extract to the fluffy frosting.
Coconut Cream CakeThe filling in this beautiful Coconut Cream Cake calls for packaged coconut shavings. Look for them in your grocer's natural foods section.
Coconut Cake with Buttercream FrostingThis three-layer coconut cake recipe is one of our readers' all-time favorites. The frosting is also popular for several other cupcake and cake flavors like carrot, spice and basic white.
Coconut-Almond Cream CakeThis elegant three-layer cake has a creamy whipped cream-coconut filling and a rich cream cheese frosting and is sprinkled with toasted coconut and almonds for an impressive presentation.
Hazel's Fresh Coconut CakeSoutherner Hazel Burwell has been making this stately cake for her family for over 40 years. She brushes the layers with a coconut syrup to keep the cake moist, and adds marshmallows to the frosting to keep it soft.

Coconut CakeThis classic two-layer coconut cake recipe features a homemade frosting made from sugar, lemon juice, egg whites, vanilla extract, and shredded coconut.
Coconut Triple-Layer CakeImpress your guests with this low-fat, three-layer coconut cake that's topped with a fluffy frosting made with egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar.
Coconut CupcakesCoconut cakes are always showstoppers at family gatherings. Instead of baking a single cake, spoon that delicious batter into lined baking cups and serve cupcakes.
Lemon-Coconut Cake with Whipped Cream FrostingEnhance the flavor of the coconut milk-flavored cake by adding lemon curd, fresh lemon zest, and dried cranberries.

Five-Spice Toasted-Coconut Cake Roll with Tropical Fruit CompoteThis is a great make-ahead dessert because you can freeze the rolled cake for up to 2 days before serving it with the compote.
Coconut Cupcakes with Coconut-Cream Cheese FrostingCreate a memorable dessert packaged in a pint-size liner. These too-cute-to-eat treats get their vibrant flavor from coconut extract.
Coconut Butter Cake with Ginger Ice MilkThe texture and flavor of this coconut cake may remind you of a pound cake. The cake is baked in a springform pan, sprinkled with powdered sugar, and served with ginger ice cream.

Could you tell me why a board game like "Monopoly" or "Clue" might not be appropriate for a group of language learners. How could you adapt them to be appropriate?
And, why traditional party games like "Charades" or "20 Questions" would be good games to use in the EFL/ESL classroom. What would be the specific language point students would be working on with these games?
I really apreciate any help...........

There has been some talk over the years and I know I have mentioned it in other threads I just wanted to open a new one here to talk about this specifically... I figured it was a good time to open this and get thoughts from others!
Could the ESB Cloak possibly be a Vintage Wool Blanket "found item" possibly Red Cross or military from around The Korean war and Vietnam era?
I find this very intriguing since i'm one of the screen accurate (find as many found items as possible) nuts... Personally, my Fett is strictly a display piece.
There are some that have found some pretty good looking wool cloaks in the past...
Finally hit my #200 post!

The more we learn about the emotional brain, the clearer it becomes: to have real therapeutic impact, we need to create experiences that help clients learn to relate to themselves and the world in entirely new ways.
It's no secret that therapists have become enamored with brain science over the past 15 years. In fact, we're so "brain-crazed" it seems you can't go to a clinical workshop these days without having the presenter regularly use terms like amygdala, hippocampus, or neuroplasticity, once thought to be arcane. Many therapists even think that explaining clients' brains to them is an essential feature of therapy, as if a basic understanding of brain science is enough to promote real change in their everyday lives. Ironically, this approach is contrary to the one clinical insight from brain research that's most important to effective therapy: human behavior and motivation are driven mostly by the emotional brain—the brain centers that mediate "primitive" emotions and instincts and respond to sensory-rich experiences, not intellectual insights.
How many times have you surprised yourself by jumping at the scary part of a movie or shouting something hurtful at someone you love when you feel angry? You know the villain in the movie isn't real and the insult to your loved one will only make things worse, but your emotional brain ignores this logic and leaps into action. In essence, the emotional brain is our unconscious mind, and scientists estimate that it controls about 95 percent of what we do, think, and feel at any given moment.
The emotional or mammalian brain, as pioneering neuroscientist Paul MacLean called it, learns from experience and association. Rather than being moved by complex sentences or analytical arguments, it's stirred by movement and novelty, by sounds, sights, smells, tastes, and textures—whatever unconsciously evokes emotion. These emotional responses cause hormones and neuromodulatory chemicals, like norepinephrine and dopamine, to be released in the brain, instantly binding and fusing new neural networks together. Thus, no matter how brilliantly our prefrontal cortex delivers insights and plans elegant coping strategies, the emotional brain is primed to override it all with neural patterns that persist until we intervene with something our emotional brain can understand—a compelling felt experience.
All of this is now brain science 101, yet therapists, who ought to know better, are still trying to appeal to the cognitive mind—much as Freud did—with quiet, rational conversation, largely ignoring the importance of creating felt emotional experiences for clients. That isn't to say the standard methods of interpreting, reflecting back, validating, reassuring, instructing, and giving homework aren't useful; they just aren't enough to create that felt experience. It takes more than logic, kindness, and support to spark the emotional brain to create new neural pathways to fire up the healing process.
If people could simply think their way out of emotional problems, wouldn't they do it? Instead, by the time they come to us, many intelligent clients have already spent hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars attending therapy sessions, taking medications, or pursuing other traditional routes for healing. They're experts on their problems, yet they still get hijacked by their emotions. Should we decide that they subconsciously want to remain trapped and write them off as "resistant"? Or should we recognize that the treatment they've received hasn't addressed the emotional brain, where most maladaptive patterns are stuck?
Take my client Saundra, for example. She was an attractive, talented surgeon with a Mensa-level IQ who'd graduated from an Ivy League school at the top of her class. She'd struggled most of her life with waves of severe depression and anxiety, but recently, her mood swings had become stormier and more frequent, affecting her personal life and threatening to wreck her career. She was consumed with the obsessive worry that working long hours prevented her from being an adequate mother; yet when she asked for time off to be with her children, she felt guilty for not working. Her intense feelings of anxiety and resentment resulted in angry outbursts toward her coworkers and daily arguments with her husband. Even worse, she couldn't enjoy time with her children without bursting into guilt-ridden crying jags.
In our first session, she told me, "Intellectually, I understand what causes my depression and anxiety. Trust me. I've had years of therapy and tried dozens of medications. I realize my thoughts are irrational, and know I've developed these patterns because my family of origin was critical, abusive, and chaotic. But I'm 40 years old! When am I going to get over it?"
I realized that, like many clients, Saundra had an excellent grasp of her issues and didn't need assistance recognizing cognitive distortions: she saw them staring back at her in living color. She'd put a lot of energy into reframing them, but her attempts to reason her way out of her feelings only added to her frustration and sense of inadequacy. It occurred to me that what she was really seeking was a new experience of herself—an experience that would cause her to believe there was more to her than negativity. As we talked, I began to search for subjects that elicited a smile on her face, passion in her voice, or movement in her body, all of which I saw and heard when she talked about walking outside in nature, painting with acrylics, and watching her children play.

I'm assuming the gun didn't just go off by pressing the slide release or working the action, so I have to assume the trigger was pulled and the safety was off.
For starters, review the owners manual for your firearm, if you do not have one you can download it from Mossberg's website. READ the manual.
Go out to the store or order online some dummy rounds for your shotgun and PRACTICE loading and unloading the gun safely.
Remember to keep your finger off the trigger, and better yet no-where NEAR the trigger, the lever on the Mossbergs is situated as such that you have no need to go near the trigger to press that lever.
This looks like a decent article on administrative manipulation of a Mossberg: Loading & Unloading A Pump Shotgun read it.
If you feel that there is a hardware problem (be honest with yourself, if you PULLED the trigger, it's not the gun's fault) with the firearm, take it to a smith or contact Mossberg for repairs.

Arsène Wenger is "completely happy" with his squad despite a summer that for the first time saw him lose players before they had peaked.
The Frenchman has a reputation for picking the perfect time to sell his stars - usually after they have given their best years to Arsenal. Patrick Vieira, Thierry Henry, Emmanuel Petit and Marc Overmars are four examples, but there are many more.
Wenger admits that 2011 has been different. Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri were both 24 when they departed for Barcelona and Manchester City respectively and, as he prepares to face Nasri on Sunday, Wenger acknowledged that it was a sign of the footballing times.
"The financial difference between us and teams like Manchester City has become too big to hope to keep the players for eight, nine, ten years," he said.
"OK, we lost Thierry Henry, we lost Patrick Vieira, we lost players before but they had played for eight, nine years at the club.
"It's the first time now that we lose players at an age where they start to produce, like Fabregas and Nasri, who were both born in 1987 and are 24 years old. That's where you start to become a football player.
"It was a big blow personally, to me and to the Club. You need to be brave as well to put a player in at 18 years of age, and you need to make room for them, which means you not only need to stand up for the players you put in, but as well you have to kick somebody out."
Wenger responded to the loss of Fabregas and Nasri by bringing in a string of new signings and his new-look squad is challenging strongly in the Premier League and the Champions League.
"I am personally completely happy with the team I have," said the manager.
"Gervinho has come in, although we could still have played him with Nasri in the middle. But we were lucky to find Mikel Arteta, who could come into this position in midfield. That was not easy as well."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

text: I am currently considering applying for a CELTA course with a view to teach English in Italy. I have an English degree in English Literature and come from a family of teachers. However, 4 years ago (I am now 25), I was cautioned for affray after protecting my friend who was being attacked in the street. My part in the whole incident was minimal but I thought the best course of action would be to accept the caution rather than risking going to court. The caution does not count as an 'actual' criminal conviction and only appears on Enhanced CRB checks. I was wondering if this would stop me from teaching in Italy? I have worked in a Sixth form college in a student support role in the past (16-19 year olds) and did not seem to have any problems with regards to the caution. Is someone could offer any advice on my situation it would be much appreciated. Thanks! :)
